Sparkle-tacular!



I told you the other day I bought Sephora by OPI’s Sparkle-tacular! topcoat. At first I was a little apprehensive at spending $9.50 on it, but OMG, I am SO glad I did! I have such a love/hate relationship with glitters because a) they are so freakin’ hard to get off; and b) I never really like the way they look in the bottle; of course they always look absolutely gorge on my nail so I don’t know why I don’t just suck it up and use them more. Well, after today, I am putting my Klean Colors glitter order through ASAP. This might be my favorite, and simplest to do, look!

I took lots of pictures of this. My camera just does not do this justice.

I used Sinful Colors Let’s Talk, which is actually almost a neon royal purple metallic. I LOVE the color, BUT, the application sucked. I did two coats out of habit, but this polish was thick and goopy and I got it all over.
Then I used Sephora by OPI Sparkle-tacular!. I painted 3/4 way down my nail, then a heavy coat the top fourth. And I mean heavy. I wanted to get all the chunks of glitter on there. This is ‘sponging’ and ‘gradient’ the lazy way; you know, when your nails are still wet and you forgot to get your sponge ready? :)
I hope you like it, I sure do!

Thanks for reading!
