Featuring 19 brands, one of them was new-to-me Jaded Nail Co. They created an exclusive hue for this party; Vegas Heat , a divine reddish coral that turns neon pink when applied and reacts to black light as well as glows in the dark. Yes, the raver girl in me has found my soul shade. I applied 3 coats for full opactity. The next day I chose to use a  +NailVinyls  burst sticker to add a dash of  +Girly Bits Cosmetics   A Striper Has Been Sleeping In My Bed  glitter lacquer to A) play with vinyls for the first time and B) spice up my look for # Electric_Summer . I am totally in love with this lacquer. It dries to a matte finish so I topped it with 1 coat of Glisten & Glow 's Fast Drying & Super Shiny Clear Top Coat . Which, by the way, has become my new HG top coat. I...

  I am pretty much addicted to this line of lacquer. My second from Ninja Polish , out of several in queue, I bring you Shillelagh (pronounced shuh-LAY-lee). From the Enigma collection, Shillelagh plays homage to it's Irish roots through a rainbow of greens. It took 2 coats for full opacity, dried pretty quick and lasted for 3 days before it chipped. Retailing for $11 you can see the entire 4-free Ninja Polish collection here . This bottle is a dupe for the bottle OPI uses . I rate Shillelagh 4.5 stars out of 5. Out of my personal nail polish collection, this is my favourite shade of green. While perfect for St. Patricks Day, I found it quite appropriate to wear it to Wizard of Oz , too! xoxo •Nancy-Lee

This is one sexy shade of red. Rubellite Dreams is from NinjaPolish.com 's Gemstone Dreams collection. The red is true, not too blue not too orange, just stunning. It's kissed by silver shimmer that is more obvious in the bottle but offers depth once on the nail. This is not a glittery polish but one that glistens. The pro brush made of an easy, streak-free application and it only required 2 coats for full opacity. 5Free it retails for $9 and lasted 3 full days before the first chip appreared. I can't wait to wear it again! I rate Rubellite Dreams 4.5 stars out of 5. Love love love.
