As some of you may know, I've been after these for a while. It's not a problem of being able to find them, I just really wanted to get them during the Kmart sale when they were 75c, so I could get the whole lot. Unfortunately, that didn't work out, so I visited my local Priceline, who had a well stocked stand. I picked up Glass of Hearts which is by far my favourite (or at least, the idea of it is my favourite, it needs more glitter!!) and Studio 54. When I first saw the collection, Studio 54 wasn't the first to jump out at me. Or the second. Or the third. I didn't really pay much attention to it until I heard everyone talking about it. And then I needed it! And I'm so glad I picked it up.
This is packed full of medium and small sized rose-gold coloured glitter! At first I was a bit unsure of how many colours this polish would go with, but then I decided to swatch a few. A few turned into a lot, and this polish seems to go with any colour! I seriously can't pick a favourite. Ok, maybe paired with Bourjous 19, or the Ulta3 blue mini. But really, they all look really lovely!
It only takes 3 coats to get a full nail of glitter, and one coat to become a lovely glitter top coat. The glitters aren't big enough to curl up, unlike some other glitters in this line.
I used it today over polish I thought was dry, and it took so long to dry! I tried using Essence quick dry drops, and they didn't work at all. I ended up messing up my thumbs and most of the nails on my right hand. I was using rather thick coats, so go easy with it if you don't want to wait too long for it to dry. Luckily it should be a quick fix, as the glitter means the polish underneath doesn't have to be perfect.

Did you get to take advantage of the $4 off FOA sale? What's your favourite polish from this line?
I layered studio 54 over a copper polish but WOW I love your idea of layering it over other colours, especially misty jade and party shoes....actually it looks great over everything <3
ReplyDeleteI missed out on the 75c deal :( but I'm glad I didn't miss out on getting the polishes :)
I thought it would only look good over colours like black and copper, but it really looks great over everything! My Kmart is so badly stocked I don't know why I had any hopes of getting it during the sale, lucky my local Priceline is better.
DeleteOh my gosh, you are killing me (I haven't managed to find it yet). It looks soooo gorgeous. My favourite is over Italian Love Affair :)

Sorry! I hope you find it soon! I hate how these collections are always so slow at getting restocked! But for some reason Kmart brings out the pastels collection again now, when it was so hard to find when it came out! Weird.
DeleteI have to agree with Candice, my favourite is also over Italian Love Affair! But all others are gorgeous! xx
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty over pinks! Good thing Italian love affair made the cut in my travel bag, along with studio 54, so ill get to use them together :)
DeleteI cannot believe how stunning this glitter polish is! It actually looks great on all shades swatched here!
ReplyDeleteWow this looks great over every single shade! I love the contrast over early grey!
ReplyDelete*earl grey sorry!
