Gimme Glitter: Glam Polish - Mar Attacks!

Hey there guys!! Hope you're having a nice day, I'm glad the weekend lets me catch up with stuff (and even so, I don't get to catch up that much) cause otherwise I'd have no time. I've been so busy lately it's ridiculous, oh January, how you are so full of surprises.
My dear friend got me this polish as a Christmas present (but given on the first day back to school) and obviously I HAD to wear it straight away. She asked me to give her my nail polish wishlist (lol my nail polish wishlist, it's got a bit ridiculous recently :P) and she picked this super super cute one, eeeeeeeeeee it's so pretty!!!! And fun fact, this is the 25th edition of Gimme Glitter, hopefully many more to come which wouldn't be all that surprising due to my love of glitter.

The swatch for my left hand was better, simply because I used thinner coats so the glitter showed WAY better, and when the glitter shows I'M IN LOVE (I'm in love a lot but it's matte neon glitter). I love things with all the colours so it wasn't a question whether I was going to love this or not.
Mars Attacks! is a mint green polish with (get ready for the list) pink butterflies (which I got obsessed with), red-ish and yellow circles, pink and teal squares, small orange, green and purple hexes and small pink and teal glitter. Look at all the fun, it can't be contained. I loved how bright the green glitter was, and just all the glitter was so cute together.

Glam Polish has so many fun shades, I love that they are so bright. On another note I love the Rainbow Connection UK website, seriously so much good stuff and for the UK!! This will become a big issue for me, an easy access to indie polish, even my friend said as she was browsing she couldn't believe the polish (ok maybe slight exaggeration but that's how I feel).

I used 3 coats for full coverage and for sufficient glitter as a lot of it got covered (:(), I think it needed 3 coats to cover up the slight streaks. But definitely not difficult to apply, just the glitter getting covered up issue. Cause when I was removing this polish, all the glitter that was covered was revealed, and it looked so incredible. So I'm going to have to find a way to apply this to get all the glitter to show cause it's even more beautiful. On the removal note, it wasn't easy because this is a glitter polish, the base came off fine but the glitter required a bit more force, but I could deal. I don't mind removing glitter cause I love it so much.

And here's the right hand swatch, you can see the butterfly on my thumb popping off. The butterflies after a while began to stick out, after 3 days or so the butterflies began to break through the topcoat (some of them), and I took some off. But my nails are pretty curved so this wasn't too surprising for me and I didn't mind. You can see the glitter getting covered up issue I was having but even so this is lovely. I can't say no the all the colourful glitter.

Thank you for reading, hope you liked this fun polish and have a nice day!! :)

  3. Oh no this is not good. After seeing this polish, I made a quick browse through all their creations. Crap. Now I have to figure out how I can get them. LOL!

    Ahhh this polish is stunning! I'm loving all the mix in there and looks like the butterflies need to fly? :P But all in all, very good mix of colours! I like when there's at least some considerations done, not just dumping in glitters and expect 'things' to just work. So glad your friend got this one for you and you showing this to us! ^^ Way too pretty!!! >.<

    1. Hahaha I totally get you!! Once I looked through Glam Polish on Rainbow Connection UK I knew I was done and needed at least one in my life. I love how bright and glitter packed their polishes are!!
      I so agree, look at all dem colours!! Haha the butterflies are spreading their wings but I can definitely look past that. Yeah I feel like the mix of glitter was thought about too, there's lot of different shapes and specific pieces of glitter in specific colours. I'm very glad my friend got this for me too, she's the best!! :)
