Painted Sabotage has some of the prettiest crellies and glitter bombs. She recently sent me some polishes to swatch and today I'm sharing Gargle Blaster, and Valthrudnir with you.

Gargle Blaster: The Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster was invented by Zaphod Beeblebrox, a major character in Douglas Adams' novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. A mint green shade with a slight shimmer, accented with fuchsia, silver and gunmetal glitters! This is three coats. It dries gritty so be sure to use a thick topcoat to smooth things out. I used 1 coat of Gelous, and 1 coat of Seche Vite below.

Valthrudnir: is the name of a frost giant that challenged Odin in Norse mythology. A bluish gray with glints of ice and snow. You will find an assortment of blue, gunmetal, silver holographic and white glitters. Application was a breeze. Two smooth coats, and no fishing for glitters. Dries gritty so be sure to use a thick topcoat to smooth things out. I used 1 coat of Gelous, and 1 coat of Seche Vite below.

Today I have some Valentine-esque shades that Painted Sabotage sent me, to share with all of you. Just a heads up, my nails may look a little different, because I transitioned to round nails, this past weekend. Now, I just have to grow out my little round nubs a bit. :-p

Hate Tank: burgandy jelly base, with red glitter, black shreds, and black glitter hearts. This polish dries bumpy, so you need a thick topcoat to smooth everything out. I used two thin coats of Gelous, and 1 coat of Seche Vite. The black heart glitters were plentiful throughout the polish. I did two thin coats, and then placed some extra black hearts before using my topcoat(s).

I have three gorgeous glitter crelly polishes from Painted Sabotage to share with you all today.

I have two holographic polishes from Painted Sabotage for you today. A gorgeous pink named Amnesia, and a dark purple named Shall We Go. 


Shall We Go is a dark purple linear holographic polish. Purples are my weakness so I absolutely love this one, and the holo is quite strong too. This is two coats, plus Seche Vite topcoat.


Amnesia, named after Amnesia Roses, is a gorgeous pinkish purple scattered holographic polish. I used one of my favorite Born Pretty Store rose water decals on my accent nail. This is two coats plus Seche Vite topcoat.


Painted Sabotage polishes are 3-free. No Dibutyl Phthalate, No Formaldehyde and No Toluene. Cruelty Free.

A year ago I started reading The Mercurial Magpie, after Kirby commented on one of my blog posts. I've watched her blog grow and change over the past year into something amazing. I've also enjoyed getting to know Kirby, who is one of my good blogging friends. I've enjoyed seeing pictures of her dog Mugen, and discussing the little quirks of our Filipino significant others, talking about blogging ups & downs, (our love for CG fairy dust), and we both have a wicked sense of sarcastic humor, lol!

The Mercurial Magpie blog is turning 1 year this month! Kirby will be having a huge giveaway including some amazing custom nail polishes based on her blog, that she had created by several indie makers. I was sent a bottle of The Mermaid's Song that she had created by Painted Sabotage. Kirby has a great love for mermaids that is perfectly captured in this polish. It's a stunning aqua green, with holographic shimmer, holographic circles and plenty of pretty gold, purple, green, silver glitters.

I used 3 coats for the photos below, plus Seche Vite topcoat. This is the first time I've tried a Painted Sabotage polish and the formula was great to work with, and evens out nicely. I also decided to forgo the usual bottle pose shot, in favor of these pretty "mermaid" beads- I'll call them! ;-)


I also tried it with a matte topcoat, and I adore the way it looks! (For best results I always use a regular topcoat to smooth things out, and then I use the matte topcoat). 


Make sure to check out The Mercurial Magpie this Monday, Kirby will be getting things started with a huge giveaway! You could win a bottle of The Mermaid's Song, among many other awesome prizes!

The Mermaid's Song is also available for sale in the Painted Sabotage shop!
