Nails Inc November the 5th - Special Effects 3D Glitter in Maida Vale

Mixed size silvery blue glitter   

It's Bonfire Night here in the UK, when we set off fireworks to celebrate the failure of the plot to blow up parliament, so I figured something sparkly was in order...






 
Close-ups - Sun & Shade

Maida Vale is a Special Effects 3D Glitter polish.

It's predominantly silver glitter, both large and small roundish pieces but with enough finer blue glitter to give the polish an overall silvery blue finish.  In sunlight it's more silver and in shade more blue-ish.

Swatch shown is 3 coats and there's still a bit of visible nail line but overall the coverage is pretty good.

Of course, as you'd expect, if you haven't used a PVA basecoat it's a pig to remove...!
