A blog about Maggie, a teenager growing up in Texas, who goes to a Private School. She loves nails, makeup, hair, fashion, and everything girly! I hope you enjoy Private School Polished!
Well, my nails don't have wings or even fairies stamped on them... They are just glittery and remind me of fairies! So that's what I named them! :)
This manicure is:
1 Coat of OPI Ridge Filler
3 (Thin) Coats of OPI Steady As She Rose (from the Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides Collection)
2 Coats of Essence Space Queen
1 Coat of Topcoat (sorry, I don't remember what I used)
This is a picture of me holding a Mini True Blue Spa Hand Lotion (from Bath and Body Works) in the scent paraffin. I really like it! I think I will be getting a full sized bottle!
Steady As She Rose had a great formula, but Space Queen didn't. It was gloppy, but I loved all the glitter! I think that some thinner will make it a lot better!
That's all I have for you today! I have some posts lined up.... Stay tuned! Thanks for reading!
Hello everyone, and welcome to the last day of my Ulta Glitterati Series! I will start out by posting a recap of all the links to the different Ulta Glitterati Posts!
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!
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.
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.
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.
Fashionably Late:
A duplicate of Deborah Lippmann Ruby Red Slippers.
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!
Hello! Sorry for not posting yesterday, it was a very busy day! Now, onto the real business...
So, I wore Ulta Hide and Go Sequins alone for a day. The glitter is a little sparse, so I decided it needed something! I went digging in my stash, and I found my wonderful OPI Last Friday Night Mini! This came out in early 2011 for OPI's Katy Perry Collection. These pictures are 3 coats of Hide and Go Sequins with 1 coat of Last Friday Night, topped off with Sally Hansen 4 in 1.
I got a little distracted doing homework, lol.
After a day of wearing Last Friday Night over Hide and Go Sequins, I decided to top it off with Hard Candy Matte-ly in Love. I loved it!
I hope you liked Hide and Go Sequins Revamped! In the next two days I will be showing you Fashionably Late! Today was my 10th post! Hopefully there will be many more after this one! Have a great day, thanks for reading!
Hey! Welcome to Day 4 of my Ulta Glitterati Series! Today I bring you the Hide and Go Sequins swatch!
Hide and Go Sequins is a navy blue jelly filled with small blue glitter, large blue glitter, large green glitter, and large silver glitter! This manicure was a base coat of Sally Hansen 4 in 1, 3 coats of Ulta Hide and Go Sequins, all topped off with Sally Hansen 4 in 1, and OPI Rapidry Top Coat.
And that's Ulta Hide and Go Sequins! I really vamped up this manicure on the 2nd and 3rd days of wearing it! Come back tomorrow to see these amazing results! Thanks for reading!
Hello everyone! How are you doing tonight? I'm doing really great! I just discovered a really, truely amazing layering combination using one of the Glitterati Collection Polishes! It's so great! I can't wait to share it with you! Now, who is ready for a really linky post? Good links, though...
Today is the 3rd Day of my Ulta Glitterati Series! Today I will be showing you some comparisons of these polishes to other brands with similar colors! First, let's get a little recap on the first two days:

Hello everyone! I hope your new year is going well! I just got home from school, and yes we have already started. That's because I'm all "Private School". I am very excited to introduce my first series here on Private School Polished! It will be over the Ulta Mini Set, Glitterati! Let's take a look...
Those are the four colors in this mini set! Here is what you can expect from this series...
Introduction of the colors.
Information of all of the colors.
Swatches of all four colors.
4 Manicures, one per color.
Comparisons.
Maybe more....
I'm not sure how long this series will take. But I hope you look forward to it. I haven't found the Glitterati set on many blogs, so hopefully it will set Private School Polished apart from other blogs! I'm off to do homework now, but I will be back soon! Have a great day! Thanks for reading!
China Glaze recently released a new holiday collection in addition to their Let It Snow Holiday Collection. This new collection's name is Eye Candy. All 6 polishes released in the Collection are 3D Glitters, meaning that they are made out of more than one type of glitter, and inspired by Marilyn Monroe.
One of my best friends, Leila (who also shares a love of nail polish), got me 2 of the collection's polishes, Lorelei's Tiara and Material Girl. Material Girl will be the polish I am showing you today!
This is my mom, wearing Material Girl. This polish is in a clear base and contains pink-rose colored micro, small, and medium sized glitter in addition to medium-large holographic hexagonal glitter. This is for sure a 3D polish, it's beautiful. Material Girl looks really good on my mom!
Thank you so much for reading! I hope your New Year is getting off to a great start!
It's not quite 2012 yet- there are still a few hours left in 2011! But I can go ahead and post, right?
Sephora had an after-Christmas sale, and had the Hello Kitty Holiday 2011 Liquid Nail Art Collection (that's a mouthful) on sale! Each polish was $5, when they are normally $10. I picked up 2 of the 4 colors.
Today's NOTD will be of Night Sparkle. Night Sparkle is a gold shimmer in a black base. I wore it yesterday by itself. This is Sally Hansen 4 in 1, 2 normal coats of color (it almost got away with 1, 1 think coat would probably do it), and another coat of Sally Hansen 4 in 1. My appologies for the messy cleanup.... I was in a hurry. My pinky shows the color best.
Earlier today, I decided it needed a little bit more "New Years Bling". So I decided to sponge on some gold glitter french tips. The gold holographic glitter I used was Del Sol Twinkle Toes, from last year's holiday collection. When you go outside, it's supposed to change to red, but it was dark, so that really wouldn't work that well. So here is the finished product, topped off with Sally Hansen 4 in 1.
I hope you had a great 2011, and have an even better 2012! Thanks for reading, have a great year!
