Happy 4th of July everyone! As promised on Facebook I have a post filled with goodies. Please welcome my first guest poster, fellow blogger and friend Lindsay.
Hello everyone!
First let me introduce myself, I’m Lindsay from http://mycharmedaddictions.blogspot.com/. 
This
is a rich Merlot polish with a slightly jelly-like application (IT’S SO
SHINYYYY!!!) and in some light leans a little more brownish-red. This is
a black label OPI meaning this polish was produced with the big 3 chemicals (Formaldehyde,
Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), and Toluene) and it makes the
application a dream! This polish can be
opaque in 2 coats but I did 3.
This
was a major lemming of mine for a long time.
I have to admit I love the name just as much as the color as I’m a huge
supernatural genre fan, especially vampires. I have one person to thank
for my Vampire State Building lemming being fulfilled and that is none other
than Ms. Bottles and Bottles herself. :D
To
make this mani really pop and add a little holiday flare I then layered 365
Days of Color American Spirit over the OPI VSB.
I have to say I love American Spirit much more than I thought I would, even though the bottle looks red it layers really well over most colors. It was also surprisingly easy to apply the smaller and larger glitters how I wanted on the nail (used the dab and smooth method).

Lastly
my 4th of July fireworks nail!
I used China Glaze Vegas to accent (don’t laugh at my middle finger
accent nail Gia!!!) ;)

China
Glaze Vegas is a medium sized super holo hex glitter that applies fairly sparse
but becomes easy to build, similar application to a polish like China Glaze
Snowglobe. I don’t really know much
about the origins of China Glaze Vegas but stumbled upon it and had to have it
because Vegas is my home and I’m a sucker for glitter.

Thank you so much for checking out my guest post! Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday celebrating our USA Independence Day.

I love Lindsay's post & love that, she put so many beauties in one post for me! I'm so happy I was able to find her VSB. I found it once before we became friends, swapped it away, hunted high and low for months to find it again, thought I did, bought it, got out in the sun only to see it had a.sought shimmer- not VSB. Finally found another and don't even remember where I found the 3rd one but knew it was hers! :)
Lovely mani x :-)
