Today I have a cold. So gross. I have not left the couch all day. I did, however, muster up the energy to paint a little pick-me-up on my nails. What cheers me up? GLITTER!!!
This is Color Club's Sugar Plum Fairy from the 2011 Beyond the Mistletoe Collection. I applied two coats over Monday's Happy Happenstances mani since I decided actually removing the Black Tie would be just wayyyy too much work. Sugar Plum Fairy would work as a three-coater on her own, no problem. She is a purple-based holo glitter. I love the color and sparkle!
She sparkles it up in the sunlight. I like her much better on her own than over a base color.
I blurred this photo a little so you can see some color play.
See all that balding? I did not like her application. She's really thick and tends to catch on herself, creating patchiness and clumps. I'm going to thin her a little and see if that helps.
In the shade, she loses a lot of her iridescence...
But she looks fantastic in indoor light! Here's another blurry photo... I love all her different colors! I did need a couple of layers of topcoat to smooth her out. She dried fast, but gritty. I am going to try her in a french mani and tip her over black or navy!
I get my Color Club from
www.transdesign.com. She's not an absolute must-have, but I have fun with her. :)
