Nicole by OPI Glitters

My best friend had sent me a Target giftcard for my birthday, so the other day I decided to use it. What else what I use it on other than nail polish? I think I am even more picky when I have a gift card. I want to spend it something I normally wouldn't buy, which lead to me these Nicole by OPI glitters. These were fall Target exclusives, so you can only get them at Target! :)

Sensational Scarlet
Sensation Scarlet is a magenta jelly packed with magenta and silver fine glitters with a slightly chunkier silver holographic glitter. This reminds me of the China Glaze glitters from last fall. The required a few coats of top coat to smooth out the grittiness. This is my favorite of the 3 I bought.

Such A Go-Glitter
 This is Such A Go-Glitter layered over Ulta3 Hollywood. This a clear base glitter top coat with bright blue, gold, and silver littler holographic glitters. I don't think I made a good choice when layering it over this blue. The blue glitter was an exact match for the polish so it blends right into the nail. I actually really like how it looks but you can't see the blue glitter!

Pitch-Black Glimmer
This is Pitch-Black Glimmer layered over WnW Black Creme. It is a clear based glitter top coat packed with black,silver, and holographic glitters. This reminds me of Revlon glitter Galaxy minus the hexagonal glitters. I prefer this one the glitter is more compact and shows off better on the nail.

Overall, I really love these glitters. I was disappointed that Such A Go-Glitter and Pitch-Black Glimmer were glitter top coats rather than jam packed jelly-glitters, but performance wise I really do like them. These were $7.04 each which puts them high on the price for what I normally buy. I think if I was going in with my own money I would only purchased one or two of these on separate occasions to spread the money out! My favorites are definitely Sensational Scarlet and Pitch-Black Glimmer. I love how Such A Go-Glitter looks in the bottle, but I think I'd try to layer it over a different blue or even black because the glitter blended into the blue I used. I don't want to unfairly judge it! These are Target fall exclusives so if these look interesting to you, it's a a good idea to pick them up because they won't be there forever!

Happy Friday!
