I know, I know…I’ve been slacking on blog posts since I got home. I got out of the habit and I’ve been running experiments all week, or attempting to anyway. Let just say me and the program are not friends right now and I’ll fix it tomorrow. It’s been a bit of a mad week. I finally got my journal article fully published and it’s missing the abstract! Production glitch they say *facepalm*. Anyway my apologies, it’s no excuse, I shall try harder from now on :)
This is what I wore on my nails the week I was away. I love this polish, I actually have worn it on 3 separate occasions since I got it. It’s a pale pink base with fine pink/silver glitter and larger round hologram glitter. The polish is quite sheer so I first put on a coat of Eyeko Petite polish to give my nails a pale pink base and to disguise my nail line. I then put on two coats of Teenage Dream. It is definitely a glitterball polish, I really like it. The glitter on it’s own is awesome, but the hologram glitter really catch the light and reflect it, as you can see in the pictures, they reflect every colour in the rainbow!
This polish dries quite quickly, but the finish is a little rough so I prefer to add top coat. The polish lasts for ages. I had it on all week and only had chips on my thumb/index/middle fingers on my right hand on day 5, and they were only minor. Due to the pale and glittery nature of this polish I could touch the chips up and carry on wearing it for the rest of the week. This is a great holiday polish, it’s glitzy, pale pink nails go with most things and it lasts! I got quite a few compliments on them.
Do you like these kinds of glitters? I love the small, dense glitter and the larger holo glitter, I think they look great together. Although I don’t like the OPI Miss Universe idea, the Crown Me Already! polish looks like a similar polish but in silver, if it is I want it! :)

/ July 15, 2011Great layering! I love polishes like this–and you’re right, they’re easy to touch up so great for vacation. Though now I’ve gotten hooked on those SH strips I’ve been using those for trips–tough choices to make. :)

/ July 15, 2011I love glittery nail polishes and this is fab, I always thought it was a much darker than this though, I don’t know why! Thank you for your lovely comment too :)

KarenD – I love glitter for vacations, it would be hard to fine a creme that lasted the week! :) I’ve not tried the nail strips yet, I want to have a go, but I’m so clumsy I’ll probably end up with one stuck to my face instead! :P xx
Lillian – Oooh a dupe! I’ve never seen any polishes like this. I would love to see it! :) xx
Maria – I love glittery polishes too, this one is definitely a new favourite :) xx
beautyshades – I know, it’s so annoying when they sell out! I managed to nab the OPI Katy Perry minis in a blog sale :) xx
Rachel – I really like the different sized glitters too, they look so pretty! :) xx
