Glitter sandwich

I been wanting to do a glitter sandwich for some weeks now and I finally got around to it. I wanted a real summery glitter sandwich So when I think of summer I think of yellow. It was perfect because  had just bought L'oreal Yellow seahorse which is a jelly polish it was perfect for what i had in mind. Yellow seahorse is  bright yellow with gold shimmer, The polish is a bit thick and streaky but manageable. I did 3 coats of the polish first toI show you the color.

Then I removed it and did a coat of Color Club I always get my Man-darin (sorry I forgot to take picture of it) then did one coat of Milani Gems (pink version) and topped it with a coat of Yellow seahorse.

What color do you wear during the summer? I use my neons, yellows, pinks and of course holos!

l'oreal - party hop VS. sinful colors - purple diamond

Good morning!
Today I have a comparison for you.

L'Oreal's Party Hop and Sinful Colors Purple Diamond.
I bought Purple Diamond because it looked really cool in the bottle, but was really unimpressed with it's sheerness. It does not look like it does in the bottle.

And then I got Party Hop, on sale, thinking, "hey, this is a cool purple, I don't have anything like this."
And then I put it on, realized how sheer it was, remembered Purple Diamond, and got disappointed.

This is Party Hop. It looks decent in photos, mostly because the flash lights up the shimmer. But it does not really look this good in person.

See? Very sheer.

And this is Purple Diamond. Again, the flash makes it appear less sheer, but do not be fooled.

Quite sheer.

Purple Diamond is a more vibrant shade, but it is a bit more sheer than the other.
The swatches are four coats.

So as you might know, layering this kind of polish is better. But these ones don't layer that nicely.

Party Hop, Purple Diamond. Over white, purple, and black.
I thought it would be more visible over black but it was pretty lackluster.
I like it over white but it would probably be hard to get a non-streaky result.
Over purple it can give you a cool effect too - which I showed in this post where I used Purple Diamond to try to create my own version of a Zoya polish.

Do you need both of these polishes? Absolutely not.
Unfortunately I accidentally ended up with both.

Today I am going on another swatch marathon I think. :)
