Ulta Glitterati Series: Glamoflauge Swatch

I just now noticed that the picture is off center! 13 year old mistake. You won't be seeing many of those anymore- I'm 14 now, haha! :)

Now for my opinions on all of the four polishes, and the collection!

Hide and Go Sequins: I loved the formula on this! 3 easy quick drying coats! 2 coats of topcoat for a glass-smooth manicure! Probably a tie with Fashionably Late for my favorite of the collection!

Fashionably Late: I love this color, mainly because red and black are my favorite colors! The formula was amazing- 3 thin, easy coats... or 2 thicker coats! I think it used 2 coats of topcoat! Once again, a tie with Hide and Go Sequins for my favorite of the collection!

Black Tie Affair: This was very pretty, but it's a common glitter color! It only took 2 coats! No problems with application. This used 3 or more coats of topcoat!

Glamoflauge: I HATED the formula on this, it was horrible! It took 3 very messy coats, and 3 or more coats of topcoat. I didn't like it. If you want a color like this, buy Deborah Lippman Bad Romance or Revlon Facets of Fushia!

Overall Collection: I really liked the first 3 colors, but Glamoflauge was a huge letdown. I would possibly buy this at normal price, but it would be even better on clearance! If you are looking for some good dupes in small bottles, GET THIS! You won't be let down- except for Glamoglauge.

And that is the ULTA GLITTERATI SERIES! I will be showing a few product reviews and a really cool manicure soon! Stay tuned! I really feel like posting the song I am listening to now! I love Michael Jackson! Here it is, Micahel Jackson Invincible from the Invincible album!

Ulta Glitterati Series: Glamoflauge Swatch

Hello! Welcome to the last polish of my Ulta Glitterati Series! Today I will be showing you Ulta Glamoflauge.

Glamoflauge is a black jelly with small purple glitter and medium purple hexagonal glitter. This is the only formula of the whole Ulta Glitterati Series that I have HATED, with a capital H. This manicure was: 1 coat OPI Ridge Filler, 3 coats of Ulta Glamoflauge, and 2 coats of Sally Hansen 4 in 1. I was going to add Wet 'n Wild Party of Five Glitters to "revamp" it, but the polished chipped off wayy to fast. Here is Glamoflauge.

Also has a dupe called Revlon Facets of Fuchsia.

For my last day of the Ulta Glitterati Series, I will be doing "The True Review" over all four of the polishes. Stay tuned! Thanks for reading!

Ulta Glitterati Series: Black Tie Affair Swatch

Hi! It's another day of my Ulta Glitterati Series! Today, I have the swatch of Black Tie Affair to show you!

Black Tie Affair is a grey base with silver micro glitter and medium/small silver micro glitter. In the picture I used 1 coat of Sally Hansen 4 in 1, 3 coats of Black Tie Affair, another coat of 4 in 1, and OPI Rapidry topcoat.

Some think this is a supposed to be duplicate of Deborah Lippmann Today Was A Fairytale, but I don't think they are considering the Lippman seems to have bigger glitter particles than the Ulta.

And that is it for today! I hope that your weekend is going good! I know mine is! Thanks for reading!

Ulta Glitterati Series: Fashionably Late Swatch

Hello, and welcome to another day of my Ulta Glitterati Series! Today, I have the swatch of Ulta Fashionably Late!

Fashionably Late is a black jelly base with red small square and red medium hexagonal glitter. For this manicure, I used Sally Hansen 4 in 1, 3 coats of Fashionably Late, all topped off with another coat of Sally Hansen 4 in 1 and OPI Rapidry Top Coat.

Here is a book I really recomemd! It's Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech!

And that is Ulta Fashionably Late! There will be no "revamped" of this manicure, but I will have another Glitterati Swatch coming soon!

I must appologize on my lack of posting for the past few days. School swamped me out... completely. I will be back on a normal, daily posting schedule very soon! Thank you for reading!

There was a lot of fuss over these two polishes! I understand why though!

Those are all of the duplicates that I know of! If there are any others, let me know! Wacky Laki has a post of finger swatches for the Ulta Glitterati Collection. She compares Wet 'n Wild Behing Closed Doors with Ulta Fashionably Late and Revlon Facets of Fuchsia with Ulta Glamofauge there. Check it out:
