Love love love this nail polish the texture feels really cool . I find that you have to put a top coat on it or else it chips easily . The only thing I don't like is that it's really hard to remove but otherwise I love it :)

If you're looking for a relatively cheap nail polish range that won't break the bank, this is it. I especially love Color Show Sequins, it looks great as a feature nail and it looks even better as a splash of sparkle on top of colour.
Tips: As with most nail polish, remember to apply a base coat (I use ORLY's Strengthening & Repairing Base Coat) to protect your nails and help your nail polish last longer. To finish it off use a clear top coat to help prevent chipping.
I bought the beautiful turquoise one and I loved it. It's a much nicer texture to use than opi glitters and lasts really well. Two coats an it's gorgeous. Three and it's show stopping. Tinfoil and cotton pads make for an easy removal and it lasts better than most as well. It didn't stain even without a base coat and I didn't need a top coat. Leaves an almost gritty finish but when you see how much glitter is in it you'll understand why.
Tips: Take your time, and only apply a top coat if you want it a bit smoother in finish. Looks best on shorter nails as it can be a bit full on otherwise.
I have received most of these nail polishes from either competitions or friends. I have these in three shades which are Silver Gleam, Lavender Sparks and Cocktail Dress. I find that these apply evenly and dries quickly. I find that I only require one coat due to using a base coat. I like the packaging due to it being small which I find cute. I find that this brand is my favorite for glittery nail polish as they are at such a great price and a variety of different shades to collect. Will definitely be repurchasing these nail polishes next time I am in need of some more glitter.
Tips: I usually add a base color that is similar to make it stand out more.
I picked up a couple of these from the chemist for a crazy $4.99. I'm definitely going back for more because they have such a gorgeous range of colours. This is the type of nail polish to go for if you're a bit like me and you're unsure of how certain nail polish will look on you, for different reasons such as skin tone, hair colour etc. I like to play it safe, and sparkly nail polish is definitely the way to go for me. The sparkle takes the attention away from the colour, and fortunately for us, it lets us experiment with different sparkly shades. With the maybelline range, it's impossible to get wrong. It's easy to apply, and easy to take off (if you wish you remove it). And it doesn't take ages to dry. And with all nail polish, they all have an incredibly over powering scent, especially the Revlon range, whereas the Maybelline range have somehow managed to take the scent down a notch or two, and that's a big bonus for me.
What can I say, I am a sucker for glittery nail polishes! I have this nail polish in three colours: Rose Bling, Sea-Quins and Silver Gleam.
I really like this range - but its quality is dependent on the colour! I LOVE the silver glitter: it is thick and super sparkly and all around awesome. The turquoise and rose on the other hand are quite a bit thinner.
In regards to the range as a whole, I like the colours; all are quite neutral in their own way and go with a lot of different nail polish colours. I find they reasonably last without chipping if you use a top coat. They do not smell horribly and they go on smoothly. More importantly, I find they remove (with nail polish remover) easier than other glitter brands which can often be a rigmarole to get off your nails.
I like the packaging. They are a good size bottle which lasts a good while. It is a different looking bottle which makes it easy to pick out of my collection.
Finally this range works really well for statement nails or for glittery tips! Overall, I really do like these glitters - however their quality and thickness of glitter depends on the colour. If you like a full on glitter then I would suggest the silver glitter over the colours.
Tips: Great for a statement nail! Use a base and top coat to last a wee bit longer.
I have the multicolored sequins and the blue. They are really good looking on with a really interesting statement for your nails. However I did find that it took about 3 to 4 coats before the sequins were think enough to cover the whole nail.
Tips: Use more than 2 coats.
I have this in silver, it's a very sparkly glitter speckled lacquer with some bigger round bits through it. The consistency isn't great as it builds up quite thick on the surface of the nail if you're trying to acheive full coverage, 3-4 coats are needed in this case which makes it really stubborn to remove! Wearing this lacquer quite thick it was chipping off within a day although if i apply it more sparingly i find that it chips less. I like it, it's pretty and has a unique little twist to it although i probably won't buy it again as it's not as hard wearing as i would like.
I have this in a beautiful royal blue, and I love how the colour of the polish doesn't dull the glitter. Wears well and i like that I dont have to add a shimmery or glittery polish over top to get a bit of bling! Also i spilled half a bottle of this on the carpet and it came out with acetone like magic!
I have Sequins (a turqoise green with matching glitter) and Twilight Rays (black with gold micro glitter). Going on these two alone, I dont hold out much hope for the rest of the nail polishes. These look AMAAAAZING in the bottle, but mehhhh on your nails. They are both deceivingly transparent, you cant tell that from looking at the bottles, all you see it gorgeous colour. I dont have a turquoise polish I could use as a basecoat for the Sequins, but I ended up applying 2 coats and a top coat to seal. I also used a black base under the Twilight Rays polish and a clear top coat. They dont last long on their own. Does anyone have any good opaque colours they could recommend? I would give these a solid 4/10
