This manicure was supposed to be just two coats of the California Nails mini. I managed to apply it smoothly when I first tried it in this post, but it didn't look smooth this time. Glitter to the rescue! One coat of Mia Secret Storm of Glitter in Silver completely transformed the manicure. I loved this! Soooo shiny!
**  Esta manicura se suponía que era sólo de dos capas de la mini de California Nails. Me las arreglé para aplicar sin problemas la primera vez que lo intentó en este post, pero que no se veía suave este momento. Brillo al rescate! Una capa de Mia Secret Storm of Glitter en Silver (plata) transformó por completo la manicura. Me encantó este! Taaaan brillante!









Who's that?!

California Nails - Set 2

APPLICATION: Smooth
COATS: 2
TOPCOAT?: No
SOURCE: Big Lots for $2.50
COMMENTS: This set also applied wonderfully but the colors weren't really special (to me). The red has a nice glow and the lighter purple/mauve is pretty. The dark purple also has some interesting shimmer in it. The other two colors are just basic cremes though.

California Nails - Set 1

APPLICATION: Smooth
COATS: 2
TOPCOAT?: No
SOURCE: Big Lots for $2.50
COMMENTS: These are just quick swatches as requested. The colors in this set applied really nicely. The silver one is an amazing chrome and isn't hard to keep smooth. These little bottles really packed a punch - a pleasant surprise! The purple shimmer probably needs a third coat, but all the others were opaque in 2 coats. My favorites are the turquoise and the silver.








As a reminder, these are from the set on the far right, second set from the top in the pink box:
