I bought this nail polish at the same time as I bought Aqua Glitter by Barry M. As you may know from my review of the Aqua Glitter, I thought that this polish would apply like the Red and Blue Glitters, in that they contain nail colour and glitter, but both the Aqua Glitter and the Magenta Glitter are just high concentrate glitter polishes with a clear base. Therefore you need a good base colour under them, otherwise it takes forever to build up enough layers of glitter on your nails to cover your nails. I did not layer anything underneath the Magenta Glitter and so it took four coats to build up some coverage before I gave up.
The colour itself is lovely, a nice Magenta colour which has a purply appearance. I'm sure the effect over a base colour such as Barry M's Raspberry or a violet colour would look amazing. However note that as with all glitter polishes it takes forever to remove unless you use the nail polish/tin foil trick.
I would maybe wear this polish for a night out, but not necessarily as an every day colour.
Next up is Mardi Gras by Jessica.
Until then,
