I've always been one for glittery polishes. They remind me of my childhood....pink and blue and glitter. That was me as a kid. I was obsessed with anything that sparkled...so when I paint my nails, I usually stick pretty close to home....pastels or black. I don't stray outside of my box to often. Black is my go to color. It's basically my normal average shade. When I paint my nails, it's almost always black, but sometimes when I am bored, I get in glitter mode.
I have been wanting this OPI sparkle coat for a while now and I got it this Christmas with a Sephora giftcard (I LOVE getting giftcards to Sephora). I paired it with one of my favorite Essie base coats, and voila! I'm 8 years old again ;)
P.S. Can you all see my snakey scaley skin? All the lotion in the world can't keep my hands from looking like this in the winter. -_-
Cute nails Violet! :-)

Ooolala. That glitter polish is so much fun!! I am way too lazy to paint my nails, it chips so easily and then it is a pain to take it off and yadda yadda yadda. But they sure do look pretty when they are done up.

Thanks Anna! I understand Allison. I get REALLY lazy about it too. Whatever paint is still left on my toenails has probably been there for 6 months :D

ooo, i'm a sucker for glittery polish as well. :]
i just got opi's "rainbow connection" and it's kind of similar to the one you're wearing. i put, like, 4 layers and it looked reeeeally pretty, but was extremely hard to take off >_<
so happy i discovered your blog (i was searching for photos of modcloth's "happy guppie satchel", which i just ordered)! it's super cute and i can't wait to read your future posts.

I love the colours of your nail polish! I'm a big fan of glittery nails right now too, my favourite is gold glitter with pale pink polish :)

I have the OPI Teenage Dream glitter nail polish and I am beyond obsessed with it! Every week I have at least one nail (if I'm not doing all 10 fingers) with glitter on it. I HAVE to have glitter! :) And I'm all about going back to my childhood in any form I can. It was the best!
