OPI Sparkle-icious (Burlesque Collection, Fall 2010)

Nail of the afternoon... :)

OPI Sparkle-icious

One of my fellow graduate students commented on this one today: she liked it! :) However, I liked this one less than Simmer and Shimmer. It's more sheer: there isn't as much glitter so it took more coats to become opaque. But as you can see in the pic that even four coats isn't enough. :( I do like the combination of glitter though...

Closeup of Sparkle-icious
It looks like it's a lot of gold in the bottle but actually, the purple and blue glitter are pretty prominent and it looks more duochrome than just a straight gold glitter polish.

    This is gorgeous! I do wish it was as opaque as the others, though.

    This would be a perfect polish to wear to the Mardi Gras. It would look amazing layered over any of the colors of the glitter. It is gorgeous.
