while roaming around ulta last weekend trying to get as much as i could w/ my 20% off coupon i wandered over to the nail polish area. i keep telling myself that i'm not going to buy any more. but then i'll see a color that i don't have in my collection and of course it ends up in my shopping bag.
they had a display for the new sally hansen jewel overcoats. so much beautiful glitter! i'm not sure how long they have been out, but i know i hadn't seen them before. i immediately gravitated to the 501 - ring-a-ding which is a mixture of rose and yellow gold chunky faceted glitter. the 507 - white veil also caught my eye as its a mixture of chunky gold faceted glitter and smaller white glitter.
after i got home with them i was a bit disappointed that they are set in a clear base and sometimes when you swatch them on the nail it only leaves behind a few pieces of glitter.
first i applied 2 coats of opi got a date tonight as my base color. it's a very soft creamy pink. i then applied 2 coats of the 507 white veil to all my nails except for my ring fingers. and for those i used the 501 ring-a-ding. since it is only the large chunky glitter i had to work with it more and use 3 coats. finally i topped it off with seche vite.

it was a bit of work to get the glitter on there just as i liked, but i'm very happy with the end result. by using the soft pink as a base color this is the perfect pairing for spring. i'm sure i'll be getting a lot of use out of these two bottles.
