Time for a nail post! And a glittery one at that! :)
So, I 'm sure that by now, almost everyone reading this is already familiar with the OPI "Alice in Wonderland" collection. The collection consists of 4 nail polishes, two reds and two glitters!
Now, I can't really say that the reds did anything for me... but the glitters most certainly did! :)
This is "Mad as a Hatter", the one I knew I had to have ever since I saw the promo pics:
The easiest way to describe "Mad as a Hatter" is that it's multi-coloured glitter in a bottle. Think of purple, silver, green, yellow, aqua and orange glitter, as well as quite refined micro-glitter in a clear base and you 've got "Mad as a Hatter". The glitter is quite fine, definitely not chunky and fairly dense, so, it's more than an average glittery top coat. If I look at this from a distance during the day, I see more of the purple in it, and more of the silver during the night - this is because there's more purple and silver glitter than any other colour.
Two coats (as the photo above) were decent, but I felt inclined to add another one:
As you can see, there's a lot more depth when the third coat is applied, not to mention that the coverage is full.
But, I wasn't quite done playing with it, I really wanted to try it as a top coat!
So, here it is over Sally Hansen's "Alchemy"...
...and, probably my favorite (second to the 3 coat application), over a plain black creme (mine is the cheapo type, but it's quite a good nail polish - Greek ladies, Rilken is not that crappy a brand.)
Come to think of it, this is not a nail polish for everyone, if you 're looking for a work-appropriate shade or if you hate glitter, then "Mad as a Hatter" is obviously not for you.
But, if you don't mind a nail polish that constantly sings "d-i-s-c-o" to you (I mean, it does, really), then you might want to look into it further...!
Post to be continued with pt. 2 (i.e. the blue glitter one) in the future.
So, have you tried this shade yet? Any cool ways of wearing it? :)
