Color Burst

Description: an ol’ fashioned glitter bomb. All the following microglitters are holo-yellow, orange, bright pink, red, lime green, blue and violet.
Price: $10 

Color Burst had a great formula. It felt on the thicker side of normal which I attribute to this being such a dense glitter bomb. The application was pretty easy even with the thickness. This is very opaque for a microglitter polish so I used 2 coats for my photos. This is extremely holographic! The glitter mix gives this an almost rose gold look on the nail.

This dries down textured so you will need to double up on top coat. I used 1 coat of a glitter eating top coat (Glisten & Glow Glitter Grabber) before my usual glossy top coat which smoothed it out nicely. Removal will be tricky if you try to scrub this off. I didn’t have any issues removing this with acetone and the soak off method.

Note: I found after about an hour of applying top coat, the polish didn’t feel perfectly smooth anymore so if I were wearing this for fun (and I was feeling very picky that day) I would apply a third coat of top coat.

Snake Charmer

Description: white flakes and iridescent green flakes topper
Price: $10 

Snake Charmer had a great formula. It didn’t feel thick at all and everything spread out evenly and easily. As far as flakie toppers go, I found this to be pretty unique! I own a lot of flakie toppers and I didn’t have anything similar to this in my collection of 1,400+ polishes. I honestly am having a hard time describing it!

I swatched this in 1 coat over KB Shimmer’s Stream On, Stream Away (reviewed here) which is a navy blue creme. Personally, I really loved this one with matte top coat. The white flakes turn an almost silver color when matte. The flakes don’t give off any noticeable texture and this dries down fairly shiny. So shiny, my photos with this over Color Burst are without glossy top coat. Removal wasn’t difficult.
