The glitters in question are from Shimmer polish! This is the first part in a series of two blog posts that will hopefully show you the wonders that are Shimmers! These glitter-packed beauties are an absolute dream to apply--just the right consistency, not too thick, not too runny and definitely not too overwhelming! Several coats can be layered and then topcoated to get a dense, glittery finish that's smooth to the touch. I, however, decided to layer these beauties over 2 coats of various solid colors, or "undies" as we call it in the nail polish world. Except for Marilyn, which is 3 lush coats all on its own, all the swatches below show 1 thin coat of a Shimmer, except for the ring finger which has 2 thin coats, over 2 thin coats of the chosen "undie". I used 1 thin coat of G&G's HK Girl to smooth it all out and finish the look!
First up! Shimmer Marilyn, which is a GORGEOUS, dark, vampy burgundy red with fine black microglitter! The swatches below 3 coats on her own, without and with flash respectively!
Next, we have Shimmer Jasmine, which is a lovely mix of aquamarine, light blue, gold and green glitters. I used Gosh Ocean for the undies and I do believe this gives the look a whole mermaid-like appeal!
Next, another beautiful red, Shimmer Mary, which is a bright red with a mixture of black and silver glitter. I layered Mary over Sally Hansen Wine Not to giver her a richer, more vibrant look!
So that's it for this post but stay tuned for Part II--you won't want to miss it! Why? Because I have BLUE Shimmers to show you! =)
Until next time,
