NOTD #1

I thought I’d show you the combo I wore on my nails for the week of my birthday! I’m not usually a glitter girl but recently I’ve been thinking I might be becoming one. I used my usual base coat and applied two coats of Revlon’s 185 Lilac Pastelle followed by two generous coats of Maybelline’s Color Show Sequins in 825 Rose Bling. The Sequins collection of the Color Show range is new to Australia and I picked up this one and Sea-quins which reminded me more of a mermaid than a princess like Rose Bling does. The light pink, hot pink and silver glitter particles are big enough to give a lot of sparkle and you could wear this without a base colour. I don’t prefer a sheer look so I picked a pastel pinky lilac to be the base.

With two topcoats this combo wore extremely well, but I think one would have done I just like a smooth finish on my nails and glitter can feel a little scratchy. I rarely wear the same nail polish for more than three days in a row because I hate the way chips look and I wore this for 6 days with minimal chips. A plus of glitter polish is that the chips are a lot less noticeable than on a block colour. Taking it off was a bitch but I knew what I was getting myself into and I was really happy with the look and the wear of this combo. You win some you lose some!

I will definitely be wearing this polish combo again, I was really happy with how it came out.

What do you think?

Are you a fan of the glitter tipped look?
