With most glitter polishes they are just a clear coat with sparkles so it looks better to put a solid colour coat underneath it. The first one I tried out was on the dark side spectrum and I was surprised at how well it turned out. The glitter polish I used is the Kardashian Kolor collection from Nicole by O.P.I called Rainbow in the S-kylie with Essie's Over the Edge. The first set are from my Instagram account but really none of the pictures do justice to what my nails really looked like. I loved how it looked like someone neatly spread confetti onto my nails, I couldn't stop staring at them. I was a little hesitant since I am not the biggest fan of the Kardashian's but this nail polish was so amazing and I would definitely do this manicure again.
The second manicure I tried had more of the bling bling and took a couple days for me to get used to with all it's shine. I tried Set in Stones from Essie's Luxe Effects collection with O.P.I 's Alpine Snow (which is a pure white colour) and I didn't mind the manicure. I usually wear a fair amount of shiny jewellery since I wear basic clothes and just funky accessories so it was a bit much for me. But it would great to do if your going to a nice dinner or fancy event, not so much for everyday.
