Wheel Q1: Yellow to Orange Shimmers

I didn't have enough of either yellow or orange unswatched shimmers to fill a whole nail wheel, so I put them together onto one. Maybe I should have started a yellow wheel and an orange wheel and left blank tips for new acquistions, but too late now.

1. Color Club Volt of Light
2. Nina Ultra Pro In the Spotlight (4 coats)

9. Piggy Polish Hot Attack
10. Sinful Canary Yellow (2)

Detail pics, because not all shimmers are alike. This wheel has everything from barely a shimmer at all to old school-style frosts to glass flecks.

    Thanks for this post! I've really feeling orange this summer, but only have one orange polish to date, so it's good to see what is out there!

    Varnish Vixen, there do seem to be a lot of oranges in the summer collections.

    MariaAndrea, I'm not sure I have that one, though I haven't swatched all my Sinful glitters yet.

    Gemx, I was surprised I had so many since I tend to not like yellows and oranges on me.

    Nail crazy, thanks; those two are eye catching for sure!

    Olivia, thanks!

    theallamenta, of course it's fine to link! I appreciate you thinking to do so. :)

Thank you for reading and commenting! I greatly appreciate knowing I'm not just talking to myself here. :) I'm moderating most comments now due to the spate of spammers who claim to be looking for sexy times.
