MUST HAVE
-05.17.13
Every glitter nail polish that ice ever owned has either chipped, smudged, or not dried right away to where it wouldn't look good or stay on. This stuff is the complete opposite. It dries right away and looks great. I always put a base color that's the same and this I first, and then ad one or two layers of this. I would definitely recommend this to anyone!

Nice, but...

Good grief! It is nearly impossible to remove! I thought I was going to need sandpaper to get it off. It is a nice color though.

Disappointing
-04.01.13
Quick Take: fun colors & effects great coverage, poor durability & chips too easily
I was so excited to buy this exact color. I was pleased with the coverage and effects with two coats. I took great care to allow adequate drying time between coats and used a nice top coat to finish it off. My nails looked great for all of one day. Then the chipping began. I've had polish chip quickly before but it was usually due to a hasty, Iimpatient application on my part. I really wanted to like this. I'm giving 2 stars for the cool colors & great second coat coverage, but I am most likely going to return it.

Ahhhhmazing!!
-03.09.13
By far the best and easiest glitter polish. One coat is plenty, so the $$ doesn't hurt as much. Not to mention they look absolutely beautiful. Very glad I purchased; will be getting every color.

Deceiving
-03.05.13
The initial color and sparkle of this polish is so pretty. However, after using a base coat, 2 coats of polish and a top coat this polish chipped less than 12 hours later (7 of the hours spent sleeping). Then just to add to the frustration, the rest of the polish was exceptionally difficult to remove. This polish is so going back.

Eh.
-01.27.13
I thought it looked fun in the bottle, then I put it on my nails. It chipped within 10 minute after drying and wasn't that pretty on my nails. Not worth the 10$

sloane is dull
-01.15.13
Quick Take: fast-drying
i bought sloane online and that was my first mistake. had i tried the color in store i never would have bought it.
its too muted to use as glitter. there is not much sparkle but lots of texture.
this is super hard to take off since the glitter is so chunky but sephoras quick polish remover did the trick.

Very dull
-01.14.13
Quick Take: dull, matte, hard to remove
This was a major disappointment. The polish looks amazing in the store, eye-catching & sparkling, BUT as soon as it dries, it is very dull. You'd think with the two different sizes of glitter that are packed inside, that it would sparkle like diamonds, but it ended up with a very dull finish, which surprised me. I thought a clear top coat might make it sparkle & shine, but it really did nothing to help. I returned this nail polish.

Best Glitter Polish I have ever bought
-01.12.13
Quick Take: fast-drying
I bought the blue version of this polish and have been nothing but happy with the results! I have never bought a glitter polish before that didn't need a color polish under it to look good; this one looks beautiful on its own! It chipped a bit, but painting over the chipped area blended in fine with the old coat, and the polish dries very quick.

Best Glitter Nail Polish Ever
-01.11.13
I have tried every glitter polish out there...this is hands down the best! You can get away with just putting one coat of this polish on and it covers your entire nail in glitter!
*The photo I have attached is with two coats

Pretty but chips
-12.31.12
Love how it looks, have to touch up daily even with their base coat and top coat. The nails that haven't chipped I have added an extra layer of top coat on the tips and that has helped.

Nice color
-12.27.12
Quick Take: fast-drying
Love the color of this. I got in the Sloane Square (grey/dark silver glitter) and love the look of it. The only problem I had wasn't that due to the glitter it tends to chip quickly. Other than that I love it.

Purple Glitter
-12.25.12
Quick Take: long wearing, fast-drying
I got this for Christmas and love it! I don't know why it's called 3d, but it is awesome. I got the purple one. I put 2 coats of glitter over a hot pink or purple polish since it doesn't have full coverage.

Love and Hate.
-12.22.12
I bought the pink one right after I saw it in the store! It is gorgeous and cute! Love it love it!
BUT it is such a pain to take it off! Since u need to take two layers of coat on top of it (it still chips a bit), it takes forever to take off:( will definitely give it five stars if its easy to take off!!!

Quick Take: goes on easy and lasts, looks like pink diamonds
I tried this on in the store and had to return and buy it. It is so sparkly and pretty. I bought the pink and usually do my toes with it too. I buy all kinds of glitter nail polish and I like this one the best. I also have two other Nails, Inc. colors. I think their brand is great.
