It's day 17 of Indie January, and today's polish is another beauty from I <3 Nail Polish, Once Upon A Starry Night. You can see my previous post on I<3NP here.
Once Upon A Starry Night is a glitter topper full of blue, silver, and white glitters in various shapes and sizes, along with silver holographic stars. I layered one coat plus spot-filling over Butter London Big Smoke. This is with three coats of Seche Vite, this glitter was a hungry one!
Formula on this one gave me quite a bit of trouble, after such a great experience with All Gold Everything I was a little disappointed. I had to dab a lot and the glitters wanted to clump together, and by the time I was done I had so much clear base on my nails that it took forever to dry. However, the end result is beautiful so I think I', willing to put in the extra effort in application. Also, same problem with the awful smell as I had with the previous polish. Oddly enough, it actually bothered me more this time around.
I really like the look of this glitter, it's gorgeous over the dark blue! It's super sparkly in person, which unfortunately kind of freaked my camera out; just trust me that it's gorgeous glittery goodness!
I<3NP is currently available through Etsy, and like the Facebook page for updates!
I've got one more polish from I<3NP to show you this month, and that one will probably be up sometime next week. What do you think of this glitter topper? Are you willing to put in the extra effort in application for a beautiful glitter? :)

it's really cute, like galaxy :)
ReplyDeleteI really like it, I have it in my stash, too (haven't worn it yet, though). I wear a lot of glitter polishes, so I'm used to fish for glitters, dab the polish instead of wiping and sometimes even place the glitters individually. It can be annoying, but normally I don't mind too much.
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely in your pictures!
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame about the formula and the smell ): It really is a beautiful topper. Over the dark blue it looks like a starry sky with some snow fall :)
ReplyDeleteEveryone hates a horrible nail polish formula. Maybe a nail polish thinner will make it easier to work with next time you try it out??? Very beautiful manicure though!
ReplyDeleteOmg so gorgeous! But the formula and smell is just too bad because its so pretty ):
