Pool Party With Silver Glitter

China Glaze Pool Party is a bright neon pink that dries with a matte finish. I do not really care for neon matte shades, but I love neons with a shiny topcoat. I wanted to try a glitter top coat finish similar to Alissa's post here. I used Maybelline Express Finish in Silver Spells. I picked up Silver Spells last year from the Dollar Tree and have only used it a few times. Unfortunately this top coat requires several coats of a clear top coat to smooth everything out.



Here are a few images of Pool Party on its own.

Nubar & Maybelline & Envy

I quickly became bored with Ulta Envy so I decided to try a few different topcoats. This is Maybelline Salon Expert in Rock Out. This polish must be pretty old. I purchased it last year 2 for $1 from the Dollar Tree. This polish is pretty worthless on its own, but it makes for a pretty topcoat.


On my other hand I tested Nubar 2010. I purchased this polish online last year after failing to find Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure. Nubar is a clear base with red/orange/gold/green duochrome flakies. It is a very pretty topcoat, but I think it looks even better over a black polish.


Which topcoat do you like better for Envy?
