21st BIRTHDAY!!

This week has been sooooo busy since I just turned 21! Big celebration and parties! I wanted to share my birthday manicure that I did. I wanted to do something that says "party" so I decided to do a jelly sandwich using Bad Kitty from Elixir Lacquers and Lynnderella One Nutty Fruitcake. A jelly sandwich is when you paint your nails with a coat of a sheer jelly polish, paint a glitter polish on top, and then another layer of the jelly polish on top of that. Doing this tones down the glitter a bit and just looks really cool. Bad Kitty is a limited edition polish from Elixir Lacquers. It was so limited edition that each bottle was numbered, I had #164. This polish is so gorgeous. It's a sheer purple with a lot of teal shimmer in it. Luckily, Nicole from Elixir Lacquers was able to make Bad Kitty a permanent polish recently and it is now called Miss Kitty's Mee-yow. Just got a bottle of it because I love Bad Kitty so much and the formula is new and more opaque in this new one! You can buy a bottle of this awesome polish here. I layered One Nutty Fruitcake from Lynnderella between this polish. So glad I was able to get my last few Lynns because Lynn, the creator, had a freakout and was extremely rude so I will not be buying her polishes anymore and they are not even being offered from llarowe anymore. So here is my birthday mani!

Elixir Lacquers Bad Kitty.
One coat of Bad Kitty under One coat of One Nutty Fruitcake.
Another coat of Bad Kitty to top One Nutty Fruitcake with one coat of Gelous and Butter London's topcoat.
Final product!!



I absolutely love this combination and these polishes! I love Elixir Lacquers so I ordered two more of her colors along with the new bottle of Bad Kitty re-vamped. Check out her website and her super pretty polishes!! She also has a facebook!

And to top of my birthday, my sweet family made me three handmade margarita glasses decorated with my nail polish! They turned out so cool!

My dad made this one using all of my polishes from my "favorites" drawer in my helmer! He also wrote my blog name around the bottom!

My mom decorated this one!

My brother decorated this one. The bottle of nail polish painted on the side was painted with Pretty and Polished Jawbreaker which is his favorite polish I own. Lol!

This was one of my best birthdays EVER!:)

Here is me with some of my sweet friends from work at my birthday party!
