Spark-tacular


Who goes to Sephora to buy a particular product and walks out with that product plus something totally unplanned? Me! I had absolutely no intentions of buying nail polish while at Sephora. The main reason I went to Sephora was because I ran out of my favorite Lavanila deodorant and needed to buy a new one. Sephora needs to stop placing all those gorgeous nail polishes right next to the checkout area. Standing in the line, I my eyes met the glorious nail polish rack. So I walked out with the first nail polish that caught my eye...Spark-tacular.

Sephora by O.P.I Spark-tacular AKA Party in a bottle!

I've been on a glittery nail polish kick lately. It all started with...I don't even remember! But they have a special place in my heart. I was previously contemplating getting Deborah Lippman's Happy Birthday but $18 a pop discouraged the heck out of me, I mean it is glitter after all. While the two aren't dupes, as Happy Birthday has much chunkier glitters, Spark-tacular will suffice. Spark-tacular has some bigger glitter pieces but majority of it is small glitter pieces. I think it has every color one can think of.

I really wanted a white base for this top coat, so I made a pit stop at Sally Beauty Supply and grabbed China Glaze White on White. Without a doubt, they complete each other.


On the left photo, I have only one coat of Spark-tacular and on the right I have two (with the exception of index finger). I love them both! I was in the mood for very glittery nails so that's why I went for the second coat.

P.S. Kudos to Sephora for having nail polish testers. That makes the life of a nail polish addict much easier!

Do you like glittery nails? What are your favorite glitter polishes?

  21. Hi Diane, I used to not really like glittery nail polish at all! I actually thought they looked childish but I love them now. I don't normally wear glitter on all nails, usually just as an accent on index or ring fingers but I was feeling festive this time :) Hope you like them! Did your nails turn yellow as a result of nail polish staining? If so I don't think there is anything you can do about it but wait it out. I had this problem with a bright orange nail polish, my fault for not wearing base coat. I have tried a product called Yellow Out (kind of like a clear base coat) when I had a problem with a little yellow staining on my nails and it seemed to get the yellow out but it didn't get rid off them completely.
