Shine Of The Times - Essie Luxeffects Textured Top Coat Collection

Essie's New Luxeffects Collection is hugely popular this year with Shine Of The Times being the must have from the collection, there are lots of other flakies available at the moment from Cult Nails, Nubar, Picture Polish, Nfu Oh and more personally I am dying to try the new flakie from Nails Inc, The Old Vic Collection.

I have swatched Shine Of The Times over purple, black, blue and teal nail polishes to show the effects it can create, my favourite is Shines Of The Times of the purple base but the black base stands out a lot better in the pics!

Sephora By OPI Spark-tacular! Top Coat

I am absolutely in love with this nail polish it is definitely on my list of all time favourites, I had to go to four different Sephora stores in Hawaii and Las Vegas before I found this bottle hidden at the Sephora inside JC Penney at Meadows Mall Las Vegas.

Yes the Spark-tacular Top is another Deborah Lippman Happy Birthday or OPI Rainbow Connection dupe but in my opinion it is way better the glitter is lighter in color and smaller than the glitter in Rainbow Connection and if think that gives the Spark-tacular! Top Coat a much prettier end result.

Finger Paints Sparkle Top Coat

I got this Finger Paints Sparkle Top Coat at Sally Beauty Fort Lauderdale near the end of my trip to the US. The top coat has a cute pink sparkle effect I have swatched it on its own and also over Grape Big Kiss from the Color Club Wicked Sweet Scented Collection (I removed this color yesterday but my nails still smell like grape bubblegum it is not good I would not use it again!)
