Drugstore Glitter! 

I am banning myself from the drugstore for a little while…I can’t keep myself under control when I’m in there and I need to get it together…seriously. In fact, after I photographed these colors to write this post, I ran to Walgreens because I realized I had run out of my quick dry topcoat…and then I proceeded to purchase three more glitter nail polishes. –I told you it’s a sickness.   I already have a ridiculous nail polish collection and now it is overflowing with the addition of all of these great new glitters.  I freaking love some sparkle….heck if I could find more sparkly shoes and tops I would go head to toe in the stuff.  Lucky for my husband, family and friends, my nails are the only place I have taken this addiction so far.

Let me introduce you….

Essie Luxeffects in “Stroke of Brilliance”

This was an exciting find this past week when I was running errands with the hubby.  I have had the entire Essie Luxeffects collection for a loooong time-and this one wasn’t in it…which made me wonder why it just popped up.  Apparently, it started showing itself a month or two ago but it is just now making an appearance at my local drugstores (….is it sad I am there enough to know?).  Anyway, I adore all of the luxeffects to use alone and on top of other colors…they are fantastic and this one is no exception.  It’s pretty blue glitter looks awesome opposite some of the muted colors coming out for fall.

Wet N Wild Fergie Collection in ” Hollywood Walk of Fame”

I about died when I saw this….there was no way you could have pried it out of my fingers when I found it…and I would have been willing to pay much more than the $3 price tag.  This can be a little difficult to get on…especially if you want an even amount of stars on each nail..but it is sooo worth it because it is absolutely adorable alone or over polish.

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in “Rockstar Pink”

This is actually a long time favorite of mine….I wore it so much last year that I was over it and traded it in for matte nails…..but now I am obsessed again.  I love this polish because it looks so good by itself when you wear a few coats.  It covers the nail completely and is really gorgeous.  It is also great on the tips of nails over another color.

Here is a little glimpse of what they look like on…I was so excited to show them that I didn’t want to have to paint my whole hand 3 different times and hold out on doing this post.  Soooooo I quickly painted three different nails just so you could see the coverage…sorry they are a bit messy:

There are soooo many possibilities with these polishes!!  I cannot wait to do some different combos!  Here they are in all their glory one more time for ya:

Love them all and I hope you do too!
