I have been wanting to make myself a bottle of glitter nail polish that had every different kind of glitter in it and this is what I came up with. This glitter polish got 34 different kinds of glitter stuffed into it's little bottle. It makes me think of Christmas confetti or something. I was curious how long this was going to last on my nails over the course of my trip I was about to leave on.
First I painted my nails in Wet N Wild Clear Nail Protector. Then I gave my nails about 2 coats of the Essie "Mod Square" Pink Polish and Essie "Butler Please" Bluish Purplish Polish. Then I did 2 coats of the "34 Shades Of Shine" glitter nail polish on top of that.Then I let that dry a few minutes and then added more Wet N Wild clear nail protector on top of that. By the time I was finished my nails were wet for a very long time. I usually do not put 6 coats of polish on my nails. lol. It took over an hour for this to finally set up and harden. It's a good thing I was going on a trip and was in the car for awhile, because I probably would have knocked my wet nails into something. I really wanted this polish to last my whole trip without having to change it. That's why I did so many coats.
However on a brighter note, because of the Wet N Wild polish that I put on my nails, my polished nails held up GREAT the entire trip! Polish of any kind does not generally last me very long. That's totally my fault. I tend to knock my nails into every imaginable thing there is. Even when taking a shower and washing my hair I generally can't seem to keep my polish on, because my hair gets caught up under than polish and glitter and messes my pretty nails up. But since I did the protector on my nails I actually had this polish on the entire time of our trip. It lasted 5 days until I caught my nail on the door and it chipped my polish at the end. It was only a very tiny chip though. I took my polish off on day 6. The steam from my hot bath soaked into my hands and the polish pulled right off, not even leaving a trace of polish on my nails. For once I didn't have to use polish remover. :) I just dug my nail under the polish and pulled it right off. Yes....This how polish should be for me all the time. Except the drying time. That was terrible but obviously it paid off.
***Tip***
A neat trick for not having to use polish remover is painting your nails with glue. Take a small brush and swip on a little glue over your nail. Blow dry the nails so it dries. Then paint your nails with glitter polish. Then add a clear coat protector on top. At the end of the night when your ready to take it off just get up under the polish and it pulls right off. No mess left behind. ***
