Pink Glitter Nails (DS Bold/Pansy)

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

As most of my friends know, I am a bit of a nail polish fiend. I honestly LOVE nail polish! I love the colours and the textures and how I can look down at my nails to brighten up my day (wow that was a tad lame >.>).

Anyway, I love changing up my nail colour once a week (mainly due to my need to have freshly painted coloured nails without the chips and looking worn out). It is also a time when I can have a time out and chill in my super busy day.

This nail combination is what I am wearing right now. I love the colour and how much is SPARKLES! Anything to do with glitter I AM THERE! 

So... this is really just a reference point for me about what I could possibly paint on my nails again (in future) pretty much. 

So I have used my two favourite brands in the whole world - Essie and OPI. These photos are under artificial light so I can't explain or show you how truly beautiful they are when they shine.

What I am wearing:

Essie - Pansy (2 coats)

OPI (Designer Series) - DS Bold (2 coats)

My thoughts on the colours:

Essie - Pansy

I really like the opacity of this polish. Although I used 2 coats, you could probably get away with only one for this nail colour. I love the how smooth and easy it was to glide on, as well as how even it went on. Even after 2 coats, the colour did not lift (which I love). Definitely worth purchasing if you like a slightly darker bubblegum pink. 

OPI - DS Bold

I actually bought this earlier in the year but never really had the urge to try it on by itself. The reason for that was because I had to swatch it quite a few times to have a great colour. I do however love this as a glitter topcoat. There is a slight pink to the glitter polish, so it is best suited with a warmer colour in the pink or red category. I do love the shine to this polish and I feel like the colour suited my skin tone really well (my skin tone has a light yellow undertone). 

Also the glitter is reasonably easy to apply, although I would use at least 2 coats to get the full glitter coverage or appeal. Finally, I loved the size of the glitter. I am personally not a fan of the chunky glitter or the hideous crackle texture nail polish!

Overall I loved this and will see how long it lasts! Usually I don't put a top coat on unless I am doing nail art or if the polish needs another boost to shine. OPI glitter polishes tend to be a bit more wearing anyway.

This combination makes me think of the summer, watermelons and strawberries!

Until next time,
