\"SONY<\/a>
\nAfter testing out my new Miss Cop glitter<\/a> that I bought at the market, I wanted to see what it looked like on a black base.\u00a0 As I was getting everything out I realized I had other new glitters that I haven\u2019t tried yet, and some I\u2019d like to compare.\u00a0 That\u2019s when it hit me\u2026 glitter skittle!!\u00a0 Well, nine glitter and one flaky but whatever, apples and oranges.
\n\"SONY<\/a>
\nSo I got out some black polish, ten glitters (OK OK NINE) and tested them all out to see what they looked like.\u00a0 I had a few that I thought would look the same, and they do in the bottle but once they are on they look completely different. Funny how it works that way.
\n\"SONY<\/a>
\nThese are the polishes I used for my left hand, thumb to pinkie showing from left to right
\n\"SONY<\/a>
\nHere they are individually. Yes, I know I went completely pic crazy with this one!
\n\"SONY<\/a>
\nThumb –\u00a0 Essence<\/a> Nail Art Twin: Troy
\nI LOVE this color!\u00a0 I\u2019m a big fan of purple to begin with but this purple and blue glitter looks beautiful over the black.\u00a0 I\u2019ll be doing a full manicure of this sometime in the near future.\u00a0 I like that it spreads evenly too, although thin glitter seems to do that easier than the more chunky stuff.
\n\"SONY<\/a>
\nIndex Finger – Essence Nail Art Twin: Julia
\nThis one is a little more simple but pretty.\u00a0 The fine glitter mixed with the larger square pieces looks interesting, I think.\u00a0 It could also go over pretty much any color, I figure\u2026 silver is pretty neutral.
\n\"SONY<\/a>
\nMiddle Finger – Claire\u2019s Red Glitter\u2026 no name, pity.
\nI saw an entire line of glitter polish at Claire\u2019s and wanted to see what they were like.\u00a0 I was so tempted to buy the whole bunch but I was trying to be sensible. Dammit! I should have known better than to be sensible because this one is great and now I want all the rest anyway.\u00a0 That\u2019s a lesson learned.\u00a0 From now on just buy everything I want.
\nOk, maybe not, but I don\u2019t regret buying this one.\u00a0 The glitter is very small and looks fantastic on black\u2026 it also came in blue, green, purple and a number of other colors.\u00a0 I dare say it will only be a matter of time until I\u2019m back with a post about them all.\u00a0 Maybe a Claire\u2019s Glitter Skittle?
\n\"SONY<\/a>
\nRing Finger – OPI Katy Perry Collection: Last Friday Night
\nI think most people will recognize this one.\u00a0 The blue glitter from the Katy Perry collection is one of my favorites. I think because it reminds me a little of a starry night, like a set of acrylics<\/a> I once had.\u00a0 I have the complete set of minis of the Katy Perry Collection and I quite like them all.\u00a0 The minis are such a great idea for those of us who don\u2019t want to dish out on the bigger bottles but still want a wee taste of the good stuff!
\n\"SONY<\/a>
\nPinkie Finger \u2013 Essence Nail Art Special Effect Topper: Circus Confetti
\nSeriously, how gorgeous is this?\u00a0 Circus Confetti is the perfect name for it because that’s what it looks like.\u00a0 The multi colored pieces of glitter in with the finer silver glitter just screams PARTY ON MY FINGERS!!\u00a0 I want to wear this again, and again, and again.\u00a0 Oh how I love Essence.
\nNow, on to the right hand!
\n\"SONY<\/a>
\nThese are the polishes I used for my right hand, shown left to right in order from thumb to pinkie.\u00a0 Can you see which one doesn\u2019t belong?
\n\"SONY<\/a>
\nCan you see it now?\u00a0 Have I ever mentioned how much I hate taking photos of my right hand?\u00a0 I wonder, does every nail blogger have a ‘photo hand’ that they usually use or am I the only one that seems to stick with photographing the same hand every time?\u00a0 Usually, if I smoodge something up on my right hand I’m all “oh whatever, I won’t be taking photos of that one anyway!”.
\nHere is the right hand individually. As I said, it was SO much harder to get photos of this hand because I kept blocking the light on myself, so some rather odd finger acrobatics were in order.
\n\"SONY<\/a>
\nThumb \u2013 Miss Cop: Diamant Blanc
\nThis is the same glitter that was in my recent post about my Market Mani<\/a>.\u00a0 It\u2019s so hard to really get it to show up properly in photos, and that\u2019s sad because it looks quite nice when you see it for real.\u00a0 The mixture of gold, green, purple and blue is beautiful and I think this could be another contender for my \u2018starry night nails\u2019.
\n\"SONY<\/a>
\nIndex Finger \u2013 Nfu Oh 40
\nSo this is the one that doesn\u2019t really belong as it\u2019s a flaky and not a glitter, but I couldn\u2019t leave it out, I just couldn\u2019t.\u00a0 If I was going to paint on black with various things, this just had to be a part of it.\u00a0 It was a gift from my hubby<\/a> and is one of my big favorites of my collection.\u00a0 Unfortunatekly I also have problems capturing this one in photos, as you can tell from the one above and the ones in the link.\u00a0 It\u2019s another polish that you just have to see for yourself.\u00a0\u00a0 I also wish I\u2019d chosen a nail that was in slightly better shape to use it on for this mani. This one is a bit wonky and still has some damage from the acryclis.\u00a0 Good grief my nails grow slowly.
\n\"SONY<\/a>
\nMiddle Finger \u2013 Essence Nail Art Twins: Blair
\nOh man, it\u2019s a good thing I didn\u2019t turn this photo on it\u2019s side.\u00a0 I did say I had to do a few awkward positions for photographing this manicure, but I promise I am not trying to flip you off!\u00a0 This is Blair, the match to Chuck in the Essence Nail Art Twin line.\u00a0 This is one of the new polishes I hadn\u2019t tried and much like Julia, that I showed above, I think it\u2019s nice and neutral\u2026 but perhaps would look better on a colored base rather than black.\u00a0 I had previously posted about using Chuck<\/a>, but that was before I realized I had the wrong match for it.\u00a0 I will have to try Chuck and Blair together to see how I like that. I suspect I will like Blair better then than I do here on the black.
\n\"SONY<\/a>
\nRing Finger \u2013 Essence Nail Art Special Effect Topper: It\u2019s Purplicious
\nAgain, it must be a purple thing because I looooove this polish.\u00a0 If I could live the rest of my days with black nails covered in this purple glitter, I would die a happy woman.\u00a0 I\u2019d die happier if my nails broke less and were a little longer, but beggers can\u2019t be choosers. Purplicious indeed!!
\n\"SONY<\/a>
\nPinkie Finger \u2013 OPI Katy Perry Collection: Teenage Dream
\nHow weird that when you put this light pink glitter over black it goes totally washed out.\u00a0 Not UGLY, mind you, it looks quite pretty in fact\u2026 but it\u2019s still different than I expected.\u00a0 You really have to look at it in the light to see the pink hue, otherwise it looks like a fine silver glitter over black.
\nSo what was my favorite?\u00a0 Whew, it\u2019s hard to say\u2026 to be honest I love all these glitters (and my flaky).\u00a0 I never thought I\u2019d be a glitter girl, but I am\u2026 I admit it.
\nIs there a support group for this, I wonder?
\nSo what do you think of these?\u00a0 Do you have a favorite?\u00a0 Do you have a flaky or glitter polish that you love that isn’t shown here?\u00a0 If so I’d LOVE to hear about it!\u00a0 There are still a lot of polishes I haven’t seen yet so please let me know if there’s something you think I’d like!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
