Tony Moly Galactic Glittters

I hauled these babies back from the affordable polish motherland (i.e. Korea) a couple months back and I'm finally getting down to swatches them.

I have a feeling all three of them were inspired by Deborah Lippmann's Glitter In The Air.



I love how delicate yet funky they look!



This is three coats of GS08 Milky Way, a Deborah Lippmann Glitter In The Air dupe.  It's a pretty good dupe. I actually own GITA and yet, I bought Milky Way. Yes, that's how much of a polish freak I am. I think I like buying cheaper dupes of more expensive polishes so I can use the cheaper ones more frequently and save the originals for more special occasions.



This is three coats of GS09 Shooting Star. This is my favourite polish from the bunch. It has such a sweet base and yet pack a colourful punch of glitters!



This is three coats of GS10 Pinky Star. She's the sweetest of the bunch. If it was only the pink base, it would be a very not-me kind of polish but the glitters adds to the fun and I couldn't resist getting this baby as well!


Overall, I love how easily these polish apply. The glitters came out easily and I didn't have to fish for anything. And the squishiness, oh, I love how they look like effortless jelly sandwiches!

Innisfree Yogurt Glitters

Continuing with more polishes I hauled back from Korea, today I have the Innisfree Yogurt Glitters to show you!







81 has a bubblegum pink base that really complements the pink and blue glitters in it. The colours remind me of candy floss actually!



82 is a warmer, more yellow-based green with lime green and pink glitters. This is a very unique polish in my stash. I love how special the colour is!



Moving on to 83, a cooler, mint green polish with pink and blue hex glitters. This is the only polish of the bunch that doesn't have any tiny glitters. I like how it looks much more clean cut the the rest and the min base is a perfect match for that too.



84 is yet another Deborah Lippmann Glitter In The Air dupe. This one however, packs the most punch out of them all (including GITA itself) in terms of the glitter payout. I think I probably should do a GITA dupe post soon, seeing how I have so many of them! HAHA!



85 is the sweest of them all. It's soooooo not me at all but she's the one I love the most. I feel like little girl again whenever I'm wearing this polish, if that makes any sense at all. It's a very Disney-esque coloured polish.



I used three coats for all the swacthes here and I love how I didn't need to fish for any glitters.

The Koreans have managed to master the art of making pretty glitter polishes!

KBShimmer Party

I managed to get KBShimmer Party for a steal (I bought it secondhand from someone) and I'm so glad I caved for it!

Party has tiny purple and green hex glitters, medium yellow hex glitters, large blue hex glitters and to top it off, red and black square glitters, all swimming in a white base.

This is two thin coats of Party over a white base.



As you can see, Party dries quite patchy and I thought it'd be the perfect time to see how well Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food works. Here I'm wearing one coat of Glitter Food on top of my Party combo.



Right off the bat, you can how Glitter Food has managed to "tame" the glitters and have provided a smoother finish. Glitter Food does dry with a satin finish though (see below).



So on went a coat of SV to seal everything together and viola!






The moment I saw Party, I immediately thought it looked like the lovechild of Pretty & Polished Party on my Yacht and Jawbreaker. Don't you think so? I'm lucky enough to own them so I thought I'd do a little comparison. Here I have Party on my index and ring fingers, Jawbreaker on my middle finger and Party on my Yacht on my pinkie.







Here's a close up of Party vs Jawbreaker.



And this is Party vs Party on my Yacht.



Please tell me I'm not the only one who sees the resemblance. That being said, I'm still welcoming Party with open arms, into my polish family!
