Day 17: Glitter (31-Day Nail Art Challenge)

It's time for my favorite time of nail polish... glitter polish! I know, glitter polish can be very stubborn to remove, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying it. I love the sparkles and it really makes me happy. Plus, if I'm not in the mood to do something creative on my nails, I just use glitter polish, and my nails would look so fab in no time.
So, for today's challenge, I decided to use Orly in Androgynie. It is a black jelly polish with multi-colored hex and micro glitters. First I put a coat of Zoya Zuza on my nails. It doesn't really matter what base color you use because it will not show after you put Androgynie. For me, it is a good practice to put 1 or 2 coats of base color before putting your glitter polish. These helps in easier polish removal and it also prevents staining your nails especially with those chunky glitters. I used heart-shaped glitters before, and it after removing it, I had heart-shaped stains on my nails. This is 2 coats of Orly Androgynie:

I decided to put matte top coat as well. I used one coat of China Glaze Matte Magic. I got this at my local Sally Beauty Supply store. I was so happy to see this in their flyer because I thought China Glaze already discontinued Matte Magic. This is how the "mattified" Androgynie turned out:

I'll see you on Day 18!
