Hopefully, if I chuck some glitter at you, it will give you a happy, sparkly Monday! This is from Wet 'n' Wild's Color Icon line. It's called Back Alley Deals, and it's purple micro glitter and dark pink round glitter in a clear base.
The glitter is very dense, so you get really good coverage in only one coat. But, it is difficult to get even coats. Your first brush stroke is pretty dense, but subsequent strokes are sparse. So, be sure to re-load your brush for each stroke. From left to right below, you are looking at one coat, then two coats, one coat over white (OPI Alpine Snow), and one coat over black (ChG Liquid Leather).

This also dries matte and gritty. The two nails on the left have no top coat so you can see the natural matte finish. The good news is that even though this dries gritty, it is not a top coat eater. I added one layer of my top coat, and it is perfectly smooth. The top coat also really brings out the shine in the glitter.

I used SH Double Duty and SH Insta-Dri for my base and top coats.
What fun!
