Feminine Light Pink Glitter Nails with Revlon 'Sparkling'

Today I decided to do something a bit more subtle so I've done some light pink glittery nails which I think look really quite cute.

I started with 2 coats of Rimmel's French Manicure colour in 'Rose Praline'. The colour itself is really nice - a light pink colour with a nice shimmer to it. I can't say I'm massively impressed with the application however. It was definitely not opaque after 2 coats and it was quite streaky. I managed to get away with 2 layers because I was putting on a couple of coats of glitter. Maybe it would be ok for a French manicure? I'll have to try it.

I then dabbed on (much better way to put on glitter rather than normal brushing which will drag it down to the end of the nail) 2 coats of Revlon's 'Sparkling' (261). This is a lovely polish. You'd need a lot of coats to provide full coverage (in fact, it's probably not really possible) but it looks great on. In fact, I've found a great blog post showing the coverage after 1, 2, 3 and 4 coats - you can take a look at Imagination in Colour here.

I finished the look off with a coat of Seche Vite.

Swatch: Sally Hansen's Insta-dry in Lovely Lilac

So, you may have noticed that I'm back! It's been a while I know but I've had a pretty hectic couple of months with Christmas and then I stated a new job...

So, I've bought a lot of new polish lately! I have also managed to get a lot of it pretty cheap, so I've decided that I'm going to do some posts with polish swatches to share some of the gems I've picked up...

So, here's the first one for you - today I'm swatching

Sally Hansen's Lovely Lilac'...

You can pick it up from Amazon here...

It's a lovely light lilac colour which I think is great for everyday wear...I only needed one coat of it so it's was nice and quick to apply. The consistency of the polish was good - not too thick - it actually probably looked a bit thicker than it was so I ended up with too much on my brush at first.

I finished the polish off with a coat of Seche Vite (of course!) What do you think?
