My Glitter Polish Collection

Hi there,

Hope you're all well today, Monday's over with for another week at least.  My weekend went pretty well, despite not actually having achieved much, I chilled out, and that's always a good thing.

Now, as you know, my hands are all dermatitis-y and ugly, and I have a broken nail which I've got patched up, so I was having a think about some posts I could do which didn't involve you all seeing my ugly fingers.  Then I remembered I've been meaning to do a post on my glitter polishes ever since I saw Maybelater's post (link) on her glitter collection.

Well, you don't need to see my fingers for that!  So I got my glitters out, and despite saying I don't like glitters due to the awful removal process, I found I own 50 glitter polishes.

I have tried the PVA glue basecoat thing, but I found it just as hard to remove with or without it, so I don't really wear my glitters much, apart from on special occasions.  I also bought the Andrea Fulerton peel off polish, as I thought that might be a way to do it, but it didn't peel off, so another fail there.

Am so disappointed it's not sunny today, to show these off to their full potential, but I've taken one picture in natural light, and one picture in artificial light for each group of six, so there's alot of pictures!  I hope it doesn't take too long to load up because of this.  Only one way to find out.

Each polish is one coat with no topcoat.  If I've swatched it properly elsewhere in my blog, or used it in a design, I will attach the link at the side.

And here they are all together:

So there we have it, all my glitters.  Some I love, and some I'm a bit 'meh' about.  I'm surprised I don't like the fine sprinkles more than I do, considering I love Warwick Street so much.  And pretty much all of the China Glazes have been full of win.

I have to be honest, I thought this blog post would be a breeze, but it's actually been a bit of a pain to do.  I hope you think it was worthwhile!

Until next time...
