The battle of the multi-colored glitters!

Ok, I admit it. You got me addicted to nail wheels. LOL This is fun, quick and easy! I am really enjoying doing these comparisons for you!

Today I want to show you a comparison of the multi-colored glitters I currently have. I did at one point have Wet N Wild Party of Five Glitters as well, but I sent it to Canada (along with a few extras) for Rebecca to make more Rebecca Likes Cupcakes.

L-R: Sephora by OPI Spark-tacular Top Coat 1 coat then 2, Ulta Pinata Yada Yada 1 coat then 2, Milani Gems 1 coat then 2

ONE coat **Sephora by OPI Spark-tacular Top Coat** TWO coats

ONE coat **Ulta Pinata Yada Yada** TWO coats

ONE coat **Milani Gems** TWO coats

FINAL VERDICT:
These 3 are NOT dupes! While Ulta PYY and Milani Gems are very close, they still are not identical. Sephora Spark-tacular is completely different. It has three different sized glitters while PYY and Gems only have two. Gems seems to cover better and have a thicker clear coat, while PYY seems runny IMO. It is hard to make out ALL of the colors in these glitters, but I see more blue/green/cool colors in Gems and more red/pink/warm colors in PYY.

Which is my favorite? Sephora Spark-tacular of course! ;-)

Sephora by OPI 212-Sephora!

WOOHOO! Do I have an awesome polish for you today! Its a flakie, its a glitter, AND its holo! BUT its brown! LOL I am not too fond of brown nail polishes, however, this one takes the cake! WOW!

212-Sephora has now become one of my favorite polishes of all time. I am really impressed with this one. As I already mentioned, it has everything I love in a nail polish, minus the color. If it was purple then it would REALLY knock my socks off, but the brown makes it unique, which I love as well. The holo glitter was a bit hard to capture with my camera. It is much more holographic in the bottle, but not so much on the nail.

I am relatively new to this brand, I only have 4 colors so far. I do plan on buying more. I was skeptical at first, due to the cost, but I fell in love with the quality. The brush is great, the polish covers and applies well. I used 2 coats and it dried fast. I topped it off with a layer of Gelous and then Orly Won't Chip.

What do you think? Is it a drool worthy polish?
