As you all probably know, I am on a bit of a nail polish kick at the moment. Who am I fooling? I've always been addicted to nail polish, but lately I seem to be posting about it more frequently! Anyway, this week's question is geared more toward my fellow "nailies" but if you're not a nail fanatic, I hope you can still chime in with a response. I'd love to see your answers!
What is your favorite layering polish? In other words, what polish do you love to layer over other polishes to achieve a whole new look or effect?
Right now, I am pretty obsessed with Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure (who isn't, right? I've posted over a dozen swatches of this polish layered over everything but the kitchen sink!). But now I've got this pa polish, "AA32", that has stolen my heart. I especially love it layered over metallic polishes! If you have never layered a glitter polish over a metallic polish, you MUST try it!
In real life, the holo glitter of AA32 over the metallic polish make my nails look like they've got a layer of ice crystals on top of them! I tried to capture the effect here:

So let's hear it! What's your favorite layering polish?
So far I like DS Design over golds/yellows and I love the Northern Lights topcoat with silver or gold holo over just about everything!
ReplyDeleteI have few favorites. You have my going through my layering polish drawer now. I'm in agreement with you Hidden Treasure is an amazing layering polish!
ReplyDeleteSome others...
Cover Girl City Lights- silver holographic glitter top coat (my personal fave)
Cover Girl Crystal Mist- iridescent glitter top coat
Cover Girl Ruby Dust- Pink & gold glitter with holographic hexagon glitter top coat
Pure Ice Busted-subtle lavender & gold shimmer topcoat
Pure Ice Heart Breaker- subtle aqua/icey blue shimmer top coat
Sinful Colors Queen of Beauty- silver glitter top coat
Sinful Colors All About You- gold and bronze glitter top coat
Sorry for the long post :P
I like Hidden Treasure and Cover Girl Crystal Mist.
ReplyDeleteIf you think glitter over metallics is hot, try glitter over NEONs... you will lose your mind!

Hi! I totally agree abt Hidden Treasure; I've been putting it over everything.
ReplyDeleteStardustStephanie and I share a lot of favorites, esp the Cover Girls and the Sinful glitters. Right now I'm also loving OPI Pearl of Wisdom over dark colors (esp like it over WnW Eggplant). Love your glitter look, Recessionista! I have an LA Rock Star polish with the long pieces of holo glitter that I haven't worn yet; going to try it over a dark pedi next.
I love Sinful Hottie & Zoya Raine! You can see them both on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI got this Revlon Color Beam nail enamel a while back, it's basically sheer color w/ the same color duo chrome. I have it in this purple & light blue, it's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI have two. One is China Glaze Shooting Stars (a lively mixed-size glitter polish), and the other is Nfu-Oh 54 (which is a flakie, like Hidden Treasure, but with a blue/teal/purple/green color spectrum, and a light blue tinted base).
ReplyDeleteI really love Nubar's Sour Candy for layering. I also love Nfu.Oh 59, 45, 52, and 60. 52 has blue/purple/opal flakies. 60 has red/orange/opal flakies. 59 has raspberry flakies. 45 has orange/fire flakies.
ReplyDeleteI really love Hidden Treasure because it reminds me of rose gold! It goes from gold, to pink, to rose-gold. So pretty!
My current fave is Hidden Treasure, but I have been looking everywhere for Sinful Colors Green Ocean. I really want to try that one!
ReplyDeleteI don't layer...yet, but I would like to try Hidden Treasures and Sinful Colors Green Ocean.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, you ladies are TEMPTING me! I cannot wait to check out all these wonderful recs!! Thanks so much for all the great, detailed responses! :D
