No topcoat:

Holographic glitter polish comparison

COMMENTS: Left to right in this and all subsequent photos:
1. Holo glitter franken with pigment from TKB Trading (Holographic Hola Glow)
2. Holo glitter franken with pigment from nail supply store (worn in previous post here) - smallest glitter size
3. Holo glitter polish from Claire's called "Glitter Topcoat" - largest glitter size

Two coats of each with 1 coat of Beauty Secrets fast finish topcoat:

And with a second layer of topcoat:

Let's step back a bit from the bling:

Claire's - Glam - Chloe Style

Chloe, from Chloe's Nails, has a great funky french style that she uses for her manicores often. She paints her tips black!  I've borrowed this idea from her over my existing manicure and love it! I used one coat of Wet N Wild - Black Creme, and topped (somewhat messily) with Out the Door topcoat.

COMMENTS: Colorfulbottle helped me out with my dilemma from the last post by suggesting that I close my eyes and pick a bottle. Sooo... I used random.org to choose which of my 11 drawers to reach into and got 3. Then I did like she said, closed my eyes and grabbed a bottle, and this is what I got. It's another nice smooth glitter from Claire's.
The color has more green in it than what you see in the photos and video, my camera just couldn't capture it. I used Jordana - Boy Oh Boy underneath Glam on the tips of my thumb and ring  fingers only. If I wear this again I will definitely layer it and use just one coat of the glitter. 3 coats made this a little too thick for my liking.

Glam in action:

COATS: 1 of each
TOPCOAT?: Yes

COMMENTS: My glitter frankens are retiring - have you seen the great glitters that Claire's (and Icing - though fewer) has?! They're awesome! I layered Dazzling over a hot pink Color club polish that applied and dried wonderfully. I wore this mani without the black line today, and felt something was missing, so I just added that with acrylic paint and threw on a layer of topcoat - quick and easy, but makes a big  difference!
I finally found the assorted rhinestones at my Dollar Tree, and used two on each hand.
