Happy New Year!
I don't know about you, but this time of the year is always bittersweet for me. I love the promise of the new year, filled with new goals to accomplish and new possibilities. But I also am always a bit depressed by the end of the holidays...for me the time from Halloween to Christmas is the very best time of the year, filled with friends and family and love and lots of good food! So I'm always happy to have something fun and pretty and sparkly to replace those twinkling Christmas lights that I'm pulling down...
And
Glam Polish's new Limited Edition Goodbye Yellow Brick Road collection is absolutely doing that for me! I have five polishes from the collection to show you, and take a look at this glamorous gorgeousness...

Coverage: 2 coats
Application and formula: Gorgeous, smooth application with no need to finesse the glitter. The jelly base will pull if you take too long, but will even out on the second coat.
Description: "Dark blue jelly with iridescent flakes and neon glitter mix." This polish looks like someone threw a handful of bright, fun confetti up against a dark sky--perfect for celebrations or galaxy nails.

Coverage: 2-3 coats; I'm wearing three because I had a little bit of VNL with two that I didn't want to show in the pictures, but in real life, nobody would have noticed and I would have gone with two. :)
Application and formula: Gorgeous, smooth application with no need to finesse the glitter.
Description: "Bright pink crelly with gold flakies." If Barbie had a bougie flamingo, this is what it would look like. This is energetic and fun; the gold flakes give this a hint of coral in among the pink that makes me love it, even though pinks aren't usually my thing!

Application and formula: Perfection!
Description: "Silver holo with a hint of blue, holo flakies, and aurora shimmer." I got a lovely lavender flash on this, which gave it an icy winter-mornig feel to me. This is the kind of polish I love to wear when I want to carry winter with me, since we don't get snow where I live!

Description: "Dark brown jelly with shifting iridescent flakies and ultra holo glitter." I adore the ox-blood red-brown of this, and the bling fills it with glam. To say this is my favorite of the collection doesn't quite cover it: THIS POLISH IS MY SPIRIT ANIMAL.

Application and formula: Gorgeous, smooth application with no need to finesse the glitter. The jelly base will pull if you take too long, but will even out on the second coat.
Description: "Holo base with shifting multichrome flakies, aurora shimmer, ultra holo glitter, and fine holo microglitter." This polish is like someone took a warm, cozy holiday fire, threw it into a shredder, and then put the results into a bottle. I love staring into the fireplace and watching the flames dance, and this polish does the same thing for my nails.
Hey, how about a little nail art while we're at it? Since Crocodile Rock looked like a night sky filled with confetti to me, I had to use it to make a New Year's Eve manicure:
