Indie alert! I put down Wet n Wild 454D yesterday with the intent to coat it in glitter. I WAS going to do Rhinstone Jumpsuit but I found myself mesmerized by Heartbreak Motel instead. I got both of these, as well as a couple more about a month ago when Stacy had a sale - 50% off! I really wish I could afford these indies full price because the amazing ladies that do them definitely deserve it but I am really, really happy when I get them within my means via sales =)
So Heartbreak Motel is a mix of hexagonal matte pink, circle blue and bigger hexagonal shiny light pink glitter in a base of tiny shiny blue microglitter. But, surprise surprise! there's also pink heart glitter! I LOVE SHAPED GLITTER! I didn't know this when I bought it because Stacy's swatches aren't my favourite... (sorry, girl!) BUT her mixes are first class.
Here we go:
I don't know if this is the best showcase of this polish. I'm wondering if I should have just done enough coats of it by itself until I got opacity. I dunno if this is the best showcase of the glitter but I fixed it. I got a pack of striping tape off eBay for $4 SO to make the pink pop again, I made a little cross =)
So that's what this needed. I think I'll have to swatch it by itself one day though =) The only problem I had with the tape was getting it flat on the edges, especially on my free edge. Any tips for a newbie?

So pretty! I used striping tape and didn't have the best results and ended up peeling it off. I think you're best off by lifting it up and then cutting it as close to the edge as you can.
ReplyDeleteI peeled mine off right away too xP The edges were just bugging me too much!
DeleteI was trying that, and I used my nail clippers as close as I could but I think next time I'll just cut the strips shorter in the first place and from far away they'll look fine =P Thanks for the tip!! <3333
