I'm a simple Scottish girl with an unusual name and a strange obsession for nail polish! My aim is to capture what the eye sees, with a camera! Too much nail polish and never enough time. I have also started wildlife photography, which I enjoy very much. Welcome to my little world :-)

Claire's Pastel Shimmer Set - Silver

This is the glitter I put on top of OPI's Skyfall.





This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (2-3 minutes for a coat). You get really good coverage with just one coat! It's a regular silver glitter top coat. I think it looks good on the OPI - almost Christmas like!!! This polish was swatched so no idea how long it lasted!

Removal = easy used foil method
Overall = 7/10

My Personal Rating = 7/10 :-)

  4. I agree, very Christmas-sy, all you need is a tad of green, and it would scream Christmas LOL

  7. It's a nice silver topper that gives a kind of metallic look to the base. It didn't shout Christmas for me though. Only slightly reminds me of it.

  10. Claire's sells beautiful colors! Usually I forget to apply a top coat, that's probably why mine don't last long!

  14. Ananka, really slightly :) I guess the Christmas looks is achieved more by more colourful glitters, not in one shade :)
