Top Coats: Glitters and Flakies, Oh My!

I can’t resist new polish. It might be a problem…but Ill forgive myself for this weekend because I am in love with my new polishes.  Wet N Wild had a limited edition set of polishes from the Ice Baby Collection and I picked up, Believe Me, It’s Real (a blue glitter polish with purple hexes) ,  and It’s All in the cut ( a pink/purple glitter polish with pink hex glitters)*not shown on this post, sorry.  Last but not least, I got Essie’s Luxeffect in Shine of The Times which is super gorg!  I had a little fun this weekend and tried them all out.  Here are a few swatches from my weekend.

Essie’s Luxeffects, in Shine of The Times gives your manicure a foiled look.  It really looks amazing under bright lights and you can see all the colors your mani will change.

This is one of the base coats I used, Sinful Colors : Midnight Blue

Wet N Wild’s Believe Me, It’s Real looks super pretty too and gives extra sparkle to this mani!

 These polishes didn’t work well together, and ended up a little bumpy.  If I had to try it again I would do the foil first and the glitter second and not do another coat. Loved the colors, but wanted to see what it would look like with a different color.
