When I posted my photos from the Essie Luxeffects Topcoats preview last week, Angela commented that she's been disappointed by glitter polish that won't give up the glitter -- all the sparkle stuff stays in the bottle -- so she needs to see pictures and testimonials. So Angela, here you are, along with some new photos of the Luxeffects collection in better light.

Top photo from right: Essie Luxeffects Topcoat in A Cut Above, As Gold as it Gets and Set in Stone. Above, Shine of the Times. Below, Pure Pearlfection.

My base colour is Gelish soak-off no-chip mani in Carnival Hangover -- it's more purple than the pink it seems in these photos, and please pardon the regrowth. Imperfections aside, you'll get the glitter idea.

Carnival Hangover + Pure Pearlfection.

Carnival Hangover + Shine of the Times.

Carnival Hangover + As Gold as it Gets.

Carnival Hangover + A Cut Above.

Carnival Hangover + Set in Stone.

Verdict, Angela? *grin*

If you're having issues with glitter staying in the bottom of the bottle, here's how to get that glitter out of the bottle and onto your nails.
