2true Glitterati Shade 6 (Layered)

I was perusing Superdrug at the beginning of this month and spotted this very pretty glitter polish hiding away in the 2true stand… of course I had to buy it! It’s so pretty 🙂 Having been absolutely gutted that I couldn’t find Shade 2 (image at Northern Nails UK) anywhere last Winter, I didn’t want to miss this one which is slightly more pink.

The polish is quite sheer in terms of the base colour so I decided to layer it over Ciaté Pocket Money, which was free in this month’s Marie Claire. I LOVE this combination, it definitely livens up the slightly plain Pocket Money and the two colours really complement each other.

All the photos are one coat of Shade 6 over two coats of Ciaté Pocket Money. I love how this still looks somewhat chic yet still carries off the pretty glittery effect well 🙂 Shade 6 is a pink-tinted base colour filled with silver microglitter, and yellow, orange, gold and pale pink glitters. I adore the colours of glitter in this, they work so well together.

Application:

The polish is slightly thick, which makes application a tiny bit more difficult so take care to use thin coats or it will take a while to dry. Alternatively add some thinner to the bottle. The polish dried relatively quickly bearing in mind the thickness, and dries to a high shine. I think it would take quite a few coats to become opaque on it’s own, probably 3-4 coats for opacity, so perhaps it is best layered :).

I really love this colour and will be getting a backup if I can, I’m sure I will use it all up very quickly! What do you think? I think it’s amazing value for just £1.99 (or 3 for £4.99 in 2true’s permanent offer across their whole line!). Glitterati Shade 6 is available in  Superdrug for a limited time.
