#TBT OPI Thanks a Windmillion
OPI Holland 2012 collection- I picked up a few- this is the darker sibling of Mermaid's Tears. Two coats to opaque, accented with a lemming I recently squashed, Lynnderella ShapeShifter.

Holy Cow, Holy Grail!
The wonderful and beyond generous Shannon did a recent swap with me for a polish they can't get in the frozen North :) I wound up on the better end of it, with another Nerd lacquer for my small but precious collection, Holy Grail! I am NOT a writer, clearly, here are Amanda's and ninjapolish's decription:
****************************************************************
Holy Grail is a super-fine-grained satiny linear holo in a dusty blue-green base with silver microglitter, medium blue-green iridescent glitter, and a liberal sprinkling of big square and hexagonal silver holo glitter. Oh, also? Glows in the damn dark.
Glow-in-the-dark linear holo glitter polish. That's about all that needs to be said.
What's extra fun about this one is that indoors or in shade, the linear holo is invisible but the blue/green iridescent glitter is AMAZING. In full sun, the blue/green glitter disappears, and it's WHOA, HOLO CITY. And then of course in the dark, oooooooo! Magic!
******************************************************************
I layered it over two thin coats of OPI Thanks a Windmillion which has the same base color. One coat Poshe to cover- this glitter is very smooth.

OPI and Sonoma- Match made in Heaven!
My daughter Paula loves glitter- but not just ANY glitter- she manages to pick my most expensive, HTF ones- yeah, those- so I figured I better start trying the untrieds first- before they disappear! Here is the lovely and presently rare Sonoma Nail Art "Go to Napa for Auto Parts" a clever mix of blue, green and yellow glitters in a clear base. What makes this brilliant is the very fine microshimmer added to the mix. Stunning! I chose an unconventional base for this- OPI's Thanks a Windmillion from the recent Holland Collection. I used one thin coat of Napa over two of the OPI- Poshe over Gelous on the glitter nails only. OPI can be found most anywhere, I got my Sonoma from an etsy ninja (thanks Emma)
