For Christmas I was given a Nails Inc gift box containing two mini polishes, a nails file and cuticle cream. The mini polishes were a dark pink and a glitter (Caviar). This is a clear polish containing tiny flecks of glitter of red, green, silver, orange, and pink.
I decided to layer this over the current polish I am wearing (Burlesque by Ciate) to see how well it shows up on a dark polish. The answer is pretty well. I have only applied one coat and I think two coats would give a more even coverage but even with one coat you can definitely see the glitter flecks.
The main thing I find about glitter polishes like these are that they are actually quite hard to apply. The glitter does not go on in even strokes or sometimes does not come off the brush so its hard to get good coverage across the whole of the nail.
The other thing I noticed immediately about this polish is the smell. It does not smell like nail polish but rather paint fumes. Its very strong too even after it has dried on your nails.
All in all I do like this glitter and I find it pretty but I'm not sure when I would actually choose to wear it or what colours I would wear it over.
Next up is one of my new polishes bought only a few days ago - Casting Call by Sally Hansen.
Until next time,
