China Glaze Nova Nail Polish Lacquer With Hardeners 14ml

As expected

<3

If you are looking for a good glitter to use on your galaxy manicure (lots of videos on YouTube to demonstrate if you're not sure what I'm referring to) this one is perfect. It distributes enough glitter that it shows up, but not too much that it overwhelms your art. It won't provide the larger, chunky glitter that some like to apply here and there, but it's perfect for the starry look. The first glitter top coat I tried from OPI was so densely populated it pretty much covered my art and ruined the point. My nails looked like a hot mess. If you're just looking to add a little pizzazz to a basic manicure, Nova is great for that as well. I used a pink neon on my pedicure this week, and it dried with a very matte finish (from the China Glaze 2012 Summer Neons collection). I added one light coat of Nova to the top and it just looks like a light sprinkle of glitter. Not overwhelming..just a dusting. Very pretty!

I like this polish, the holographic sparkle of the glitter is very pretty. It's a little different than China Glaze's Techno in that it has very finely milled glitter, which give a different look. This is good for layering over other polishes, but be careful: the polish is very densely packed with glitter, so unveven application is very possible if you don't know what you're doing. And yes, it can be difficult to remove, as with ALLLLLLLLLL glitter polishes, but there are tips and tricks all over youtube to remove glitter polish as painlessly as possible.

I adore this glitter polish! This is my second bottle. I wear 2-3 coats over Celeb City by Sally Hansen and it is completely opaque! I get so many compliments on this polish and the wear is great for a glitter polish. I usually change my polish twice a week, but I have worn this more than a week with no chipping! It reflects so beautifully in direct light, especially the sun, but I find myself just stopping and staring at my nails all the time! Its so gorgeous. Highly recommend!
