Hello, reader! Welcome to the Hobby Polish Bloggers Link-Up for September! Each month, this Facebook group chooses a theme, and participants can do whatever mani they want, so long as it fits the theme. This month’s theme is glitter toppers! For this look, I used American Apparel’s Galaxy and Nicole by OPI’s Confetti Fun over LA Colors’s Whipped, as well as Seche Vite and a bow from Daily Charme.
I usually try to use one untried polish in every HPB mani, and the untried in this one is Confetti Fun. It’s the finer of the two glitter mixes; I paired it with Galaxy to fill the empty spaces. Galaxy is nothing but the really chunky glitters, and wearing them both together gives them both what they need for a complete look.
It’s kind of a cop-out to use nude as a base for glitter, but I like it. It’s coverage without color; it’s the best way to let all the colors show without being obvious. Black and white get too dramatic; nude is just right. I regret not using an untried nude, because I do have so many. It does the job.
I love metallic glitter in the sun! It’s absolutely blinding. All of the colors are brighter and better. I don’t know why I didn’t just take all the photos in the sun. Look at the flare on the macro!
Galaxy and other American Apparel polishes have been discontinued. Confetti Fun and Whipped may be discontinued by Nicole by OPI and LA Colors, respectively; other NOPI and LA Colors polishes are sold in stores nationwide. My infinity bow is from Daily Charme.
I bought these products myself.
I used to love the American Apparel polishes for the heavy thick bottles. It’s weird how so many companies “made” polish and then DCed it. Love this manicure!
I love all the chunks of glitter in the polish combo! It’s so fun and festive!
I absolutely loooove chunky glitters like this!
Stacie, such a fun glitter combo! Love this look!
This manicure turned out beautifully!
shhhhhhoooooot, I totally missed the prompt this month. Again.
This is perfect for Christmas
This is so cute and so fun!
Oooooh so sparkly!
I have this polish around somewhere! This packs a serious sparkle.
Wow, such a fun nail concept!
I always love a good glitter bomb! I love all the colors!
I love the glitter topper. It is so gorgeous! ?
It’s a bit too blingy for my tastes but it’s super pretty in the sun.
I love the chunky glitters that you used in this mani!
You have put a BIG dent in that bottle, I’m impressed! 😀
I love this! Love the glitters!
You can’t go wrong with rainbow glitter! x
