A Special Night Out - Glitter Gal Lizard Belly & OPI Servin' Up Sparkle

My friends and I will be visiting the HK Disneyland for the first time tonight! I have been to Disney in LA and Tokyo before, but tonight will be different, because the park will be filled with Halloween decorations everywhere!

Glitter Gal Lizard Belly with OPI Servin' Up Sparkle
To match the special night out, I decided to add a bit of bling bling to my mani by free-handing OPI Servin' Up Sparkle to the tips of my nails. This is a very easy way to glam up your nails, the only trick is to make sure each nail has its share of large hexagon glitters!


Here is Glitter Gal Lizard Belly on its own. I don't know if this is indeed the color of a lizard belly, but it is a gorgeous dark green linear holo! I would also say the base is almost jelly-like, making this polish even more spectacular!

Check out the holo-awesomeness!
The formula of Lizard Belly is a bit on the thick side, but it is still manageable with a careful application. I am never a green polish person, but Lizard Belly will definitely remain in my stash!

Arituam Purple Holo + Essence It's Purplicious

I got my friend to get me couple of Arituam polishes from Seoul after reading from another blogger that they make holo polishes! Korean polishes have been quite popular in the polish world lately, and I am glad I have jumped onto the bandwagon, because they are indeed good quality and relatively cheap!

Aritaum Purple Holo (two coats) + Essence It's Purplicious (one coat)

Here I am wearing Arituam purple lilac holo layered with Essence It's Purplicious special effect topper. I am normally not a glitter person, but I like how the layering makes this mani more fun! It's Purplicious is a purple clear base polish packed with tiny purple glitters and large purple square pieces. One coat is enough for layering as you don't want to drown out the base color.

Arituam Purple Holo

Arituam purple holo is also lovely on its own. It has a faint holo effect that could only been seen under bright lights. It reminds me a lot of Catrice Dirty Berry (one of my favorite polishes). The formula is perfect, and it applies like a dream!

Can you see the subtle holo effect here?

I have another pink holo from Arituam that I will be showing you soon! Have you tried Arituam polishes before? Do you prefer it on its own or with the layering polish?

THE color of this Fall - Chanel Blue Boy

Hello girls, today I have you a very special polish, Chanel Blue Boy from the Les Jeans Limited Collection.

Chanel Blue Boy - two coats with top coat
At $25 USD a pop, I choose my Chanel polishes carefully, and I would usually just go for the limited edition and truly special ones (although this one is a gift from the bf :)). Blue Boy has caught my attention ever since I saw the promo, and never have I thought I would love it so much on my nails!

*swoon* the formula is perfect too!
Blue Boy is a dusky blue creme with a strong teal base, and it compliments my skin tone perfectly. The color is very trendy, and yet still subtle enough for a day-to-day wear. It really does remind me of my pair of old jeans too! What more can I say, Blue Boy has jumped right up to my top ten polish list!


I can see myself wearing Blue Boy a lot in the next couple of months, do you like it as much as I do?

Zoya Yara

Zoya Yara - two coats with top coat
So I am taking a tiny break from holo and am going to show you Zoya Yara, a polish from Zoya Smoke & Mirrors Fall Collection (my favorite Fall Collection this year)

Yara is olive green packed with gold flecks, and it reminds me of yellow fallen leaves amongst a forest of green. I am not usually a green polish person, but Yara is definitely a keeper!


As usual, formula is perfect, and with two easy coats I get full coverage. Have I told you Zoya has become my favorite brand with this collection? They have done an awesome job and I can't wait for their next great collection (admittedly, I am a bit disappointed with their Winter Collection, but that's because I am not a glittery person)!
