China Glaze Razzle Me Dazzle Me

Glitter or no glitter, glitter or no glitter - tricky one! Jacava Candy Floss, is so beautiful, I could have done with a couple more days of wearing it on its own but it's Saturday, and it's party night! so it has to be glitter! I haven't worn this China Glaze Bitz 'n Pieces glitter yet, but I think this is the perfect occasion for Razzle Me Dazzle Me - a mix of black and pinky silver hexes of all sizes with black bar glitter.
The vibrant Candy Floss makes a great backdrop for this stunning glitter, which I think is quite delicate and I had this combo in mind when I decided to wear my one and only maxi dress, which is pink, black and white. I have applied just one coat, and the glitter distribution was perfect for the look I was after.

China Glaze Glitz Bitz 'n Pieces

I have swatched these over OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls. Despite my original thoughts that I like my glitter over a dark base, the colours in these work better I think over a pale base, since there is a lot of black in them and the glitters are quite dark (apart from the pink in Razzle Me, Dazzle Me).
So here we have Razzle Me, Dazzle Me (pink), Bling it on (purple), Mosaic Madness (blue) and Graffiti Glitter (green) - aren't they pretty!!

OPI Thanks a Windmillion & China Glaze Graffiti Glitter

When OPI brought out their Holland collection last year, I knew instantly which 3 I needed, I have a Herring Problem, I Don't give a Rotterdam and the one I am now wearing, Thanks a Windmillion.
For those that might ask, slightly darker and greyer than Mermaids Tears, close enough that you probably don't need both, but different enough that I had  a clear favourite.
It painted on well and although I often need 3 coats with OPI 2 was sufficient.
It is the most perfect soft green, I absolutely love it, and here it is, with green gloves!
Gorgeous, and almost a pity to cover it up but a new arrival was just crying out to be worn, and after doing a few test swatches I thought these would be perfect together.
China Glaze Graffiti Glitter is a mixture of black & green hexes and fine glitter and black bar glitter. I fell in love with this range when I first saw the swatches just before Christmas.
I generally prefer to put glitter over dark undies but as you can see at the top of the page, when I swatched the NI Graffitis they worked well over light and dark. I was surprised how  much I liked them over the lighter shade, and in fact the these CG's that have black glitter in them would lose a lot of contrast over dark undies.
So here are a few pics, couple of different pairs of gloves too.
 
 
 
 
None of these shots actually managed to pick up the green in the glitter, so here is one more.
