I was in a layering mood recently and this combination happened:
One coat of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Rockstar Pink over NARS Midnight Express. I loved this combination. I'm holding the bottle of Gelous basecoat to remind me of the trick I learned. I put a coat of Gelous over the glitter and then used quick dry topcoat to make the glitter more smooth. Sometimes with really chunky glitters I use two coats of topcoat, but if you use the Gelous underneath instead it seems to be a lot smoother and shinier than plain quick-dry
topcoat.
This is what the Sally Hansen glitter looks like alone:
It's a really dense multi-color glitter (great coverage) that consists of light pink, purple, blue, red and a little silver.

ReplyDeletelove the combo!
ReplyDeleteI don't like glitters that much but that's really pretty!
ReplyDeleteI like the color a lot. Very nice. What kind of top coat do you use so the nail color wont chip all fast?
ReplyDeletegorgeous!
ReplyDeletevery very cute and beautifull !
ReplyDeletethat is stunning! A new favorite!
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me a lot of OPI Mad As A Hatter. Either way, I like this one layered over the blue!
ReplyDeleteThe layering improved the standard polish. Muchly.
ReplyDeleteAMAZING! Absolutely love this combo and how the glitter looks like it is floating over your nails.
ReplyDeletePure gorgeous-ness!!

I just bought that Sally Hansen and think the combination is so cool! nice job!
ReplyDeleteomg. LOVES! i've had that rockstar polish sooooo long & couldn't get it to work with colors. never thought to do it over dark navy. thanks! :))
ReplyDeleteThat is completely fantastic! I've worn Rockstar Pink on it's own and not loved it...so I will have to try this. :)
ReplyDeleteI have Rockstar Pink. I haven't tried layering with it but your pictures are giving me the urge to!
ReplyDeleteJust wooooooooooow :)
ReplyDeleteLove your combination more than the glitter just by itself. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI love love love love rockstar pink. It's my favorite polish in my collection.
ReplyDeleteI just bought Rockstar Pink yesterday. I'm on the lookout for a dupe for Ilamasqua Boo.... I like it over purple polish too!
ReplyDeleteI definitely like that better than the glitter polish on its own. Gives it a sophistication, n'est pas? ;0)
ReplyDeletethat looks awesome!
ReplyDeletethis is gorge!!
ReplyDeletei got inspired by your post and layered opi sparkle-iscious over china glaze grape pop, which i already had on.
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS :D :D
it's an awesome combination <3 and such a nice, quick way to vamp up a mani if you don't have time to remove and all!
Great idea, Thanks :)
ReplyDeletethat looks good..you have motivated to the store..lol
ReplyDeleteyou've motivated my butt right to the store
ReplyDeleteI've held Rockstar in my hands quite a few times deciding if I should bother with it or not, and I imagined layering it over something blue like Royal Navy...so this was a great post to see! I just might have to grab it next time I'm at Walmart! :-) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love glitter polish and I love what you did!
ReplyDeleteWow! Looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteHow do you make the glitter polish so smooth on your nail? Your nails always look so smooth and shiny. Is Gelous the trick?
ReplyDeletemy rockstar pink nevvvvver looks this good. lol
ReplyDeleteI have Rockstar Pink. Love all that glorious glitter. Thanks for the tip about the topcoat.
ReplyDeleteSo if you layer you should totally layer Sally Hansen Nail Prisms Lavendar Pearl over any black. I'm so happy I scored this polish at the dollar store about a week ago because it is a near dupe of Orly's Space Cadet.
ReplyDeleteSo excited!!!
