CND Sparkle Effects - Raspberry and Sapphire

I resisted these Sparkle Effects for a while, but when I fell, I fell hard.

Here is Sapphire Sparkle:



And Raspberry Sparkle:


Both are absolutely MAGIC over Ulta Wild Night, a lovely dark navy shimmer. These Sparkles are unbelievably capable of transforming a polish; the Sapphire Sparkle coats your polish in a dusting of bright blue shimmer and the Raspberry Sparkle gives it a light coat of pink shimmer. I am amazed by how different your base color looks when topped with what appears to be a simple top coat but is in reality a game changer.

I find myself thinking about interesting color combos with these Sparkle Effects - yellow base color with blue, orange with pink... the possibilities are ENDLESS!

Happy day, all!

  1. Sapphire Sparkle is awesome because it's duochrome! I have a few Effects and I really use them lots :).

  2. I love them both. You have 3 polishes, instead of just one.

  3. That's soooo cool! Now I need to hunt down some for myself. (I was trying so hard to not be as impulsive with my polish. I think that lasted for a day and a half.)

  5. Seriously, these effects are amazing, I'm just wondering which others to get. I think I have my eye on gold sparkle and I haven't ever thought about the shimmers yet. Oh my.

  6. These are really that polish changing? I don't own any of the effects. I figured that I have so many sheers that I could use.

  7. I really think they are special, but so are some other layering polishes. The one thing that these do have for them (at least in my opinion) is that they don't really alter the shade of the polish itself, just give it a subtle kick. You should try one, Lucy!
