Hello! I'm so happy to be visiting on Kelly's beautiful blog! 

This manicure began with a gorgeous Love and Beauty glitter polish that I picked up at Forever 21. It is a clear base polish with silver, black and red hex glitter. Black glitter is one of my favorite things in the world, so this polish called out to me! It doesn't have a proper name, though, as many of the Love and Beauty polishes don't, and this one is just known as "Red/Black."

I had to find a polish that would work as a nice base color for the glitter. I thought about white, I thought about a light creme gray… eventually I settled on Color Club Revvvolution because of it's textured appearance. Revvvolution is a faintly holo charcoal-colored polish, and one of my favorites to boot because it applies like a dream with great coverage. I applied two coats of that for good measure, though I could have gotten away with one. 

Then I applied a good spattering of Red/Black (seriously… the worst name ever), which was pretty decent in terms of application for a glitter! I included a picture of the manicure at this "shiny" stage, but the real show is seeing the look MATTIFIED! I busted out the Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love, because it provides a super matte finish without the shrinkage that I have experienced with other matte topcoats.

Thank you for listening, and thanks to Kelly for having me stop by! I had a lot of fun deciding what to do for this post, and I hope you have enjoyed it! Matte glitter is great. It's a fact.
