L.A. Girl Color Pop "Extra! Extra!"

Hi guys and happy happy Friday!  I am so excited the weekend has arrived again!  So without further ado, here is today's nail polish is L.A. Girl Color Pop's "Extra! Extra!"

"Extra! Extra!" is a fun pastel colored chunky glitter in a clear base.  Formula wise this polish went on surprisingly well.  Many glitters in a clear base are difficult to get out of the bottle and on to the nail but not "Extra! Extra!" which went on flawlessly.  Also like a lot of glitter polishes they are made to be top coats so I couldn't resist trying "Extra! Extra!" out with some opaque colored polishes.

I decided to test out with "Extra! Extra!" was Sinful Colors "Kool As A Kukumber" which is a gorgeous mint colored polish.  This combination was perfect for Springtime and it looks great on my nails!

Overall I really like L.A. Girl Color Pop "Extra! Extra!"  The colors are fun and a pastel glitter is just perfect for Spring!  I will definitely be wearing this nail polish again soon!

Nail Trick: Using a Sponge to Apply Glitter

Hi everyone!  Today's extra special unscheduled post is all about applying glitter nail polish.  Like everyone else I have struggled to get chunky glitter polishes to go on my nails in an even coat.  After looking around online in the nail polish community I saw a lot of people talking about using disposable make-up sponges to apply glitter in a thick even coat that actually covered the entire nail. So I couldn't resist giving this technique a try.  I decided to select four different glitter polishes to see how well it worked.  Here are the polishes I selected:

Deborah Lippmann's "Happy Birthday" - Nicole by OPI's "Inner Sparkle" - Color Pop's "Extra! Extra - Hard Candy's "Pop Star"

The four glitter nail polishes I picked out are Deborah Lippmann's "Happy Birthday," Nicole by OPI's "Inner Sparkle," Color Pop's "Extra! Extra!," and Hard Candy's "Pop Star."  I went with a rang of different shaped glitters and glitters in different price ranges.  I figured that would give me the best chance to see how this tip works.  I found the technique worked very well because the sponge soak up the excess clear base and it made me wonder why I had not tired this before!  As for the glitter's shape and size I found the polishes with similar sized and shaped glitter worked bed.  (I.E. Deborah Lippmann's "Happy Birthday" and Nicole by OPI's "Inner Sparkle."

Overall I am very pleased with this technique and I'll definitely be using it in the future to create some fun glittery looks!
