china glaze liquid crystal (prismatic)

prismatic collection by china glaze back in 2012 was a very interesting collection of duochrome glitters, and liquid crystal was my pick.

liquid crystal is a really interesting polish and the "blue" one of the collection.  the main shade is a soft blue, filled with multicolored glitter. really, you can find everything here: silver, green, purple, orange, you name it. it dries almost textured but not too gritty!

the colour shift is not that strong but it's still visible. it could probably look better layered over something, but i keep forgeting to do that.

opi show it and glow it (burlesque)

burlesque was a super fun holiday collection from opi back in 2010. i already showed  teas-y does it and the show must go on, and now it's time for show it and glow it.

show it and glow it is a proper glitter bomb. the main colour here is fuchsia, and it is packed with pink and silver glitter.

it is quite dense, but it doesn't make lumps. two normal coats are enough for a solid coverage, with some shearer spots here an there, if you're not careful. i do intend to wear it as a topper, but i somehow never get around to it.

ysl bronze fever (night 54)

it's been a while since i've shown studio silver, so it's time for the second polish from yls's night 54 collection, bronze fever.

like with studio silver, bronze fever is also inspired by glitz and glam (and glitter!) of studio 54. as the name says, it is a deep, rich bronze shade with silver and copper glitter. even though we are talking about chunky glitter here, it can be worn solo, without a base colour. 

it is borderline textured, and really hard to capture as it is really blingy! it's definitely not your everyday shade.

ilnp christmas cookie (the snowed in)

when i saw christmas cookie, from ilnp the snowed in collection for 2019, i knew i had to have it!

christmas cookie is described with a lot of detail by ilnp people themselves: "christmas cookie is a deliciously fresh white-based speckled nail polish. simple and sweet, christmas cookie brings together the harmonious holiday hues of red and green in a metallic flake finish. formulated for depth and full visibility, christmas cookie’s striking metallic flakes standout undeniably for a mouthwatering sprinkled effect!"

it is a supercute polish, the red and green microglitter really gives it a festive look, but i am sure it can be worn all year. it took two coats for the full coverage, and i removed it easily, no need for special tricks. 

strangely, this is my first ilnp polish, but i am sure this will change!

picture polish big bang (collaboration shade)

it's time for another picture polish collaboration shade, this time big bang, created with la npa mouton.

big bang is such a complex beauty! the shade is blue leaning blurple, with multicoloured, and i mean multicoloured because i can see pretty much everything, glitter. it is deep, rich, complex, in one word, a stunner!

formula is awesome, opaque in two coats, and one of my favourite recent pp shades. my pictures, sadly, don't do it justice.

nopi follow me on glitter (kardashian kolors)

after listen to you mom-ager, i am showing one more polish from nicole by opi kardashian kolors collection back in 2012, and it is follow me on glitter.

this polish already has a word "glitter" in it, and it truly is a glitter bomb! the base is blackish, with small grey and black microglitter, filled with small gold and multicolored hex glitter. it is crazy! 

it dries a bit textury, and i prefer it like this because i am under the impression that it would need at least two layers of top coat to get some sort of shine. i definitely love this polish the way it is.

natural light:

ysl studio silver (fall look)

with the name "studio silver" and number 54, it is clear that studio 54 was an inspiration for ysl's night 54 collection for autumn 2017. their explanation:"inspired by studio 54, the epicenter of disco in the 1970s, the limited edition fall look collection sparkles with color and pays tribute to the greatest dance club of all time."

and given the sparkling, disco-ball nature of studio silver, it is clear why it is in this collection. it is glittery magic, that looks awesome and fun on its own and over a base color. i layered it over opi check out the old geysirs and on another occasion wore it "naked" and loved it even more. yes, my nails look super yellow in the photos for some reason, but it looked awesome in real life.

formula is gritty, it dries like a texture polish, and i liked it this way so i didn't play with top coats (yet).

golden rose jolly jewels 115 (jolly jewels)

i must congratulate the turkish company, golden rose, on this jolly jewels collections. the polishes like this are usually connected with indie brands, therefore, hard to find if you are not a polish addict. i got two of those when i was home in serbia last week, and i'm presenting my favorite from this collection, 115. it is such a shame that beauties these don't have names :(

115 is a dupe to china glaze's it's a trap-eze from the  cirque du soleil collection, but i was scared that it would never arrive to serbia so i decided to get this one after all.

i seriously dreamed of having a polish like this, and i also realized that it is weird that my association with it is bubblegum, even though i can't pinpoint it to a single one. weird. it is a dirty white base full with multicolored glitter: green, pink, white, orange, blue, you name it!  i love this polish, it looks so fun but not over the top.
