I normally stick to pretty safe nail polish colours, like soft pinks. I’ve been living life completely crazy lately though and mixing up the colours. I have even sported a blue polish recently, after receiving an order from The Glossery which contained colors’ that I would not normally wear.
Whilst in David Jones yesterday I picked up OPI Rainbow Connection (I think it was $20) and also some of the Rapi Dry Top Coat.
This was my first time using a thick glitter polish, as I have only used China Glaze Fairy Dust in the past which is super fine, just like its name. I didn’t really know how to apply it and tried to apply like you would any other polish. I soon realized that you actually have to dab the glitter on, rather than brush it on otherwise you get bald patches.
One Coat
At this point I was thinking ‘What the hell? How many coats am I going to need?’ but soon woke up to myself.
Two Coats
Three Coats
I decided to stop at 3 coats which because of my method meant that I still had bald patches, but next time I will know how to do it properly.
The Husband looked at it and said “Well…. That is just too bizarre!” but I quite like my Robot Fingers.
The removal is hard. Really hard. I ended up having to use the shellac removal system and soak a cotton bud in remover with acetone, and then wrap it and foil around my finger nail, wait for 10 minutes. Ergh.
I always thought that chunky glitter polishes would feel extremely textured, but they really don’t. I guess putting a top coat over it helps though as I have it on my toes over China Glaze Something Sweet but without a top coat and it is much rougher. Is rougher even a word?
That reminds me, one glitter square was hanging over the edge of my nail and I didn’t realize. When my nails were dry, that little bastard cut me when I was itching my neck. Who woulda thunk it? So the moral of this story is to make sure you don’t have any hanging over the edge.

Also, today is the Orthodox Christmas! Merry Christmas!! We went to church last night, and will be celebrating with a nice lunch today.
