So let's get started! My favorite first.

Quit Staring at My Melons - I used one medium to heavy coat of this over a base of Illamasqua Purity. No issues to report at all on this one! One coat of Poshe top coat for the photos. No fishing or placing or dabbing required!

Betty's Fetti Milkshake - I used two medium coats of this one alone with one coat of Poshe top coat for the photos. The formula and application were great on this one.

That Purple Ish - I used three light coats of this one alone and one coat of Poshe top coat. The formula was good and I didn't place the large circle glitters, which I probably should have done. My nails have a high arch and if I don't place them in the center they tend to stick out. They're not curling or anything - what you see "sticking up" is strictly my application and not placing the large ones in the center of my nail.

Don't Get Citrus Twisted - I used two medium coats of this one and one coat of Poshe top coat for the photos. The formula was good, but I recommend 3 light coats of this one with a few minutes dry time between each coat so the glitters don't cause drag in the polish. That is what I did on my pinkie nail and you can tell the difference. No issues at all using 3 light coats.

What do you think of these? Which are your favorites? I've already mentioned that my favorite of this collection is Quit Staring at My Melons...a clear-based glitter! Of course it's CIRCLE glitter, which I love.

I will be honest with you -  I'd never been a huge glitter polish fan. Some I love, but for the most part I'll generally choose a straight creme. And when the "milky glitters" started popping up, I really didn't care for them, mainly because of the PITA application. But I've learned better how to apply them and the polish makers have really perfected their formulas. This ENTIRE collection really does have good formula and application. Usually, because of the aforementioned aversion I had, I would just show them to you and tell you about the application and formula and not say anything about my personal feelings. After all, I'm here to show you and let you decide for yourself based on my unbiased review of the formula and application, right? Well, I'll continue to do that, including telling you if the formula sucks (although I probably won't use that word LOL.) But in my opinion, this collection proves to me that glitters don't equal difficult application. There are tricks of course, but those of you who love them learned that way before I did!

Message from the creator: These shades are only available for pre-order in the Summer 11 set.  All pre-orders will ship along with first launch of new summer shades sometime around the second week in July.  Limit is 2 per size, per order.  Thank you.
