Once again Klout has provided me with another great perk for being an influencer. This time the perk was from Essie. Yay, I love nail polish, especially from Essie!
The color I received is called "stroke of brilliance" from their "luxeffects' line.. It's actually marketed as a multi dimensional top coat. In the bottle it looks like it's a heavily concentrated blue colored glitter. I fond that when I got it out of the bottle it blue with a hint of steel grey which I really love. When they say that it's multi dimensional they weren't kidding! I painted my nails a steel grey color and then I used two coats of my luxeffects over it and my nails were instantly transformed from flat to fantastically sparkley!! My only issue is that they say it's a top coat but because of all the great glitter it leaves your nails textured and I found that the glitter was getting caught on my shirt so I put on a regular clear coat over it and problem solved! If you're like me and you like all things glitter then you must check out this polish!
I've never tried chunkier glitter, but i'm excited to use mine. Your nails look nice. It reminds me of Dr. Who. The background in space lol
ReplyDeleteI love Dr.Who!!
DeleteI like the shade but I'm not a big fan of glitter nail polish. They seem to take forever to remove. I also get the heebie jeebies when things with texture on them catch on my clothing..glad the top coat worked to fix that for ya!
ReplyDeletei get the heebie jeebies about that too so I had to put a top coat on and thankfully it worked because I really do like the polish.
DeleteI have nail jealousy! I love this glitter polish, but wish my nails looked as fabulous as yours with it on!
ReplyDeleteAwww.. thanks. I love glitter polish too!
DeleteI have this too and thought it was little chunky but my daughter loves it!
ReplyDeleteIt is a little chunky but I like the effect that it gives.
DeleteI also got that perk! I can't wait to receive mine but I hope it's not glittery coz I am not much of a fan.
ReplyDeleteIt is super glittery!!!
DeleteI love all glitter :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks super cool~I can't wait to try it
ReplyDeleteit really is a fun polish!

ReplyDeleteI think it would look good with other colors. I was actually thinking about doing a hot pink under it next time for a fun contrast.
DeleteOh wow that glitter polish is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteEssie did a nice job with it. It looks even prettier in the sun.
DeleteThanks for the tip of using an actual top coat to take away the chunkiness. I'll do that for sure when I get mine.
ReplyDeleteyou're welcome. some of the glitter doesn't lay completely flat so a top coat is a must ;)
DeleteOkay, so I have to know what Klout topics you had that got you this perk. I'm on a nail polish kick myself. ;)
ReplyDeleteI got this for being an influencer in nail polish. It was a surprise perk, I logged in one day and I had a notification saying Essie was sending it to me.
Deletebeautiful color! I'd love to try that. Might just have to go buy it next time I go to the store :)
ReplyDeleteI really like it and you can't go wrong with Essie
