NOTD: Essence nail art special effect topper in Circus Confetti

I'm sorry but I have to say that I think this product is over-hyped. It's aparently a good dupe for Deborah Lippmann's Happy Birthday. I really like glitter nail polish even though they're difficult to take off. I like my glitter polish to almost be opaque. On the picture I'm wearing 5 (!) coats of Circus Confetti on my nails without a topcoat. It's not opaque at all, not even close. The formula is quite thick with unfortunalely not as much glitters as I expected and you really have to ''place'' the glitters on your nails. On the other hand I paid €1,79 for this polish so I can't really complain about quality.

Have you tried any of the new nail art special effect toppers from Essence?

Does anyone have any tips for taking off glitter nail polish?

xoxo Kelly

It comes off with no problem. It's better to use acetone free polish remover I've found because it doesn't dry out the cuticles.; August 20, 2011 at 1:43 AM
