All these polishes have a great formula that does not clump or drag. The glitter spreads easily and evenly. I used one generous coat of glitter over a coordinating base color and followed that up with a nice top coat. Most of these can also be worn on their own at about three coats. Can't go wrong either way...
Shimmer Melissa (over OPI Germani-cure by OPI)
A violet glitter with gold hex glitters mixed in. There is also some red sprinkled in and a few flashes of blue and green...

Shimmer Jennifer (over OPI Nein! Nein! Nein! OK Fine!)
A silver glitter with hex orange and yellow. It also has some holo and color shifting glitter. One moment it flashes blue and is green the next. An incredible mix that works perfectly together...

Shimmer Stephanie (over OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons)
Small blue glitter with larger dark and light blue glitter. It also has some orange, red, purple and holo sprinkled in. Love how this looks over the beige, might be my fave out of these...

Shimmer Tracy (over OPI Suzi & The 7 Dusseldorfs)
An amazing gold mix of small, hex, and even bar glitter. It also has lots of holo glitter that didn't capture well in the photos, but is definitely present in real life...

Shimmer Jenny (over OPI Unfor-Greta-bly Blue)
Blue mix with silver, orange, red and violet throughout. I have a real weak spot for blue and this is another beauty to add to the list that makes me swoon...

The incredible thing about the Shimmer polishes is that they seem to have nearly every color in each bottle yet somehow they are all so unique and from afar have a distinct main color.

@Tina, thank you! :)
@Lacquerice, sorry to push you over the edge... these glitter bombs are gorgeous :)
Hi babe can u update us how the removal of those polishes are as well?
ReplyDeleteI am so afraid of getting bad staining hehe so thought I asked if you had any issues removing those glitter polishes
Thank you
@Samantha, the removal is time consuming as can be expected with a glitter, but you can use the foil method (http://wackylaki.blogspot.com/2011/08/tutorial-removing-glitter-nail-polish.html) to avoid having to scrub. I'll also be trying an Elmer's glue trick soon, so I'll let everyone know how that goes...
ReplyDeleteAs far as staining, the glitters don't stain the nails. They are in a clear base and so far have not bled/discolored the base at all. If anything, the staining would come from the base polish chosen. Luckily none of the OPIs I used stained :)
You have done an amazing job showcasing my Shimmers! Thank you.
