This is one of my favorite colors I own, butter in Blagger it is the most intense blue.  I did an accent of China Glaze Mosaic Madness. 

Nail Of The Day: China Glaze Mimosa's Before Mani's

This coral color is from China Glaze's The Avant Garden garden collection.

It's a pretty color and has pretty shimmer in it.  Nice formula used 3 coats to reach opacity.  I actually can't wait for flip flop weather and to put this on my toes!!  I topped this with Seche Vite top coat.  

China Glaze GLiTZ collection: Mosaic Madness

I finally got my hands on one of China Glaze's GLiTZ Bitz 'N Pieces collection.  I went to Sally's Beauty Supply and picked up Mosaic Madness, which is a mix of gorgeous blue hex glitter of varying sizes, black hexes of all different sizes and some black bar pieces. 

I layered Mosaic Madness over butter Sprog. 

This is a great polish and the formula is great!! I had no trouble with application the glitter spread out evenly. The only work I had to do was a little fishing and placing of the large black hex pieces, but nothing too tedious.  I topped my nails with Seche Vite. 

I want to get my hands on some more from this collection.

Copycat Nails: Deborah Lippmann

I had a lot of downtime this weekend and I have been lusting after Deborah Lippmann's Ray of Light but at almost $20 a bottle I was not willing to shell out that much for nail polish.  At $14 Butter is the most I'll pay because I love butter!  Anyway this is "Ray of Light"

Instead of a dark purple I went with a neon purple (I was in a summer state of mind this weekend)
