I had to use my favourite top coat for today's challenge - Rainbow SPLAT, by Glittering Elements.
I have layered this over Mentality Moe.
I love this polish!

Glittering Elements - Bella
Today I have a fabulous holographic polish to show you from Casey's new holo range.
This is Bella. Bella is a gorgeous bright purple holo. This polish was opaque in 2 coats, though I used 3. The formula is great - no streaking or dragging and so easy to apply.
Firstly, a note on the bottle choice - I love square bottles, they all sit in a box together happily and uniform. Casey adds a little bow to the cap, which I take off so I don't smudge my nails when swatching! The brush too, is thin and convenient for my small nails, meaning I don't paint half my finger in the process (I find large wide brushes utterly annoying!)
I love this shade, it's not lilac, and it's not too dark. It's a true purple with a nice pop and an almost neon effect. This is one of my new favourite shades!
You can purchase any of these polishes from Glittering Elements etsy shop here. There are five gorgeous holos in this collection , and they're all equally gorgeous! Some differing shades in there from what you may usually see in holo collections!
Please take a look at Glittering Elements Facebook page too! As you know, this is an Australian brand - with very good priced shipping.

Glittering Elements - Firecracker!
It's been so long since I've done a polish post - my poor nails are unhappy with me. I have been gardening and they've suffered.
Today I want to show you a beauty from Glittering Elements. I am a huge fan of Casey's polishes. This is probably my favourite so far - described as a pink crelly it is jam packed with glitter. I love the black hex in this polish, it really sets of the brightness of the pink! It's really hard for me to choose pinks I like - they are all so samey. Firecracker has a lot going on, and I love that. It's busy and it catches my eyes when I type, making for a happy Addict! It has a holographic shimmer, a long with all these eyecatching sparkly glitters inside, the black against this gives depth and interest.
The pictures below used 3 thin coats of this polish. Application was a dream, no dragging or clumping and glitter is evenly distributed (because there is a tonne in there!)

Summer Nail fun - Lemon & Lime Gradient
I recently had a huge polish haul from Kiko in Italy - two of these polishes seemed to shout lemon & lime at me so I had a stab at my first gradient today...
I used 297 and 355; Acid Green & Canary Yellow. I used a kitchen sponge to create this gradient, and I am happy with the "tie-dye" effect! I painted my nails with two coats of 355 first.
Here are the results! If you grew up in Ireland, you might be reminded of Loop de Loop ice-pops when you see this - I'm getting thirsty just thinking about it!
I couldn't attempt a gradient without topping it off with some glitter... could I? Check this out - this is "Rainbow Splat" from Glittering Elements (facebook / etsy ) topping off my gradient, and turning it into one amazing summer mani. I am in love with this glitter topper. It is PACKED with every glitter you could imagine. I really think this is the most epic glitter topcoat I have seen.
I will leave you to drool over it....
Glittering Elements: Sonic
Today I have an exclusive preview to show you (how exciting!) from Glittering Elements, based in Australia. Casey sent me some beautiful polishes to review, the first of which I will show you now.
Sonic is a beautiful bright blue based polish, with red, golden, aqua and holographic hexes of differing sizes. It is so sparkly and bright for this sunny weather! Named after and inspired by the great Sonic the Hedgehog, this polish is a real must-have for barbecue season, and it certainly loves the sunshine!
I used three coats of this polish for even sparkly coverage - and on top I used a matte top coat. I love the effect it has on this polish! For the pictures, it shows the glitter inside much better - due to the shimmer in the base itself.
Look out for Sonic, which is being released this Wednesday, the 17th on Glittering Elements etsy store. You can also keep up to date on Facebook ! What do you think? Do you love Sonic?
