Back to the polish finishes, with an old standard- the glitter! A glitter polish is generally made up of lots and lots of flecks of glitter, suspended in some sort of base color. In this case, gold glitter is sitting in a gold-toned but mostly translucent base.
Here is wet n wild's The Gold and the Beautiful:
While this was 4 coats, it was nowhere near as troublesome as, say, the Laffy Taffy fail. Each coat dried relatively quickly, and the formula wasn't too thick, as glitters can be.
Interestingly, I'm having trouble telling what polish this collection is from- it appears that wet n wild has two different "The Gold and the Beautiful" polishes- one from a fall 2010 Craze collection called Pixel Perfect, which is a straight metallic, and this one, which is from a Fast Dry, not a Craze collection. Damn you, wet n wild...why must you be so confusing. But for $1.99, I'll live with it. I'll have to try this as a layering mani too- one or two coats over another color to add some sparkle.
In the above picture I have a bit of tipwear on my ring finger- but considering this was after 4 days wear, which included a barbecue and the associated dish-washing, that's pretty darn good. Both images are clickable!
How do you like the glitter?
i like this one a lot. the glitter is purrrty. that is good that it stayed so well after 4 days too. i hate when they chip so quickly.
