Girly Bits A Stripper Has Been Sleeping In My Bed

Today's polish is just stunning. This is Girly Bits A Stripper Has Been Sleeping In My Bed, which I bought recently from Rainbow Connection.
This is just amazing - when it first arrived I swatched it over an existing mani and the coverage was brilliant, so you could wear this as a pretty dense topper or get full coverage with 2 to 3 coats.
This has a pale grey jelly base, quite subtle, almost clear but visible when I swatched it on a sheet of white paper, but it is just packed with glitter. The overall appearance on the nail, and in the bottle is silvery grey but it is so much more than that! The glitter is holographic and picks up so much light and colour, it is quite amazing, especially in the sunshine where it is utterly mesmerising.
The polish applied and dried well, I did use 3 coats although I had almost perfect coverage from 2. Because of the density of the glitter it did take a couple of coats of top coat, and I could still feel a slight texture. That didn't worry me but a 3rd coat would probably have smoothed it out perfectly.
My nails looked like solid glitter, they felt really strong too! In fact, I did a naughty thing - I cut and then filed my nails while I still had the glitter on, and it didn't chip - evidence the final photo of shorter nails, a day after I cut them.
I am seriously impressed with this polish! The colour is just beautiful, you have that quite neutral silver grey tone that is very wearable and then all the beautiful sparkly glitter, in every colour under the sun it seems!
So, I love it - did you get that? and because of its durability, this is my chosen toenail polish for my holidays.

  1. This is so pretty! I love this type of glitter - it reminds me a little of Model's Own 'Southern Lights'. I think this suits your nails beautifully :) xx
