NOTD: Sparked

It's Brooke's fault for showing me glitter over on her blog. I should know by now I can be sort of impressionable when I haven't picked a color yet. So I dug around & found about 10 glitters I haven't worn yet & the winner was Wet n Wild Sparked. I don't normally do Konad when I wear glitter, but I gave it a try & actually love the way this looks. Plus it seems I've finally thinned my black special polish enough it's not streaking. I used plate m15:






Bling! Pink, mauve & silver glitter in a fairly clear base. I think this would be an awesome polish over black, since it's not as dense as the glitter Brooke had - hers was completely opaque in 1 coat, while this is 3 coats, and I was sorely tempted to do 4, but it was late. It's so sparkly it's hard if not impossible to tell what the Konad is from a distance, but I don't care since this is mainly for MY amusement.

Since I did this last night, I've had plenty of time to admire it, and I have to admit, I just keep looking down at my nails & thinking "Man that's bomb".

Thanks for reading.

  1. Isn't that a cool color? I just finished playing with a funky french tip for my blog post tomorrow using this. I picked it up at Walmart last week for 97 cents and was curious about it. Most glitters don't give as much coverage as this one, I was impressed. That looks great on you and your Konading is coming along very well :)

  6. BODY & SOUL - I just checked out your post, it worked great for french tips! I love funky/non-traditional french manicures.

    DEEZ NAILS - I wish they had more glitters too - for such cheap polish, I've never had any problems with WnW & they have a ton of great colors & finishes.

    VELVET - The only bad thing about having such bling at my fingertips is they're a driving distraction! LOL now that it's been warm enough that I don't have to wear gloves at all times.

    NIXXY - Thanks!

    NESSA - Check out Body & Soul's blog (above) for a preview of what this looks like as a french tip, it's great.

    AMABILE - That's exactly what I thought, but I'm so glad I gave it a try, I surprised myself with how nice it turned out =)

  8. Very pretty! I so love glitter. I have so many other type of polishes to try and yet I keep using shimmers and glitters. Every time I do my nails I think I will use a creme and then I grab a holo or glitter. Love them. Looks so pretty on you. Good job with the Konad.

  10. VANESSA - Thanks!

    LUCY - I think I would do more glitter if I weren't maintaining a few patches on my nails right now - the amount of polish remover needed to get glitter off takes a toll.

    JAMIE - Thanks!
