Wheel Y13: Drugstore Glitters, Part 3

Today for Nail Wheel Wednesday, I have the third wheel in the drugstore glitter series (the previous one is here). This one is all pink, including some multis that include pink. And this one includes Sation polishes, unlike the first two wheels, and Sations are more beauty supply store than drugstore, but I liked how they fit on here.

2. Black Radiance Girls Rock Pink Couture (3)
3. Nabi Pink Star Moon (3) [the glitter in this one appears to have mostly dissolved, though there are a few ghostly cresent moons still in evidence]

Wheel U13: Drugstore Glitters, Part 1

I noticed I had a whole bunch of glitter polishes I'd picked up from brands that would show up for a short while at drugstores and grocery stores and other mass market retail outlets before disappearing seemingly forever. I had enough to do several episodes of Nail Wheel Wednesday. Today is the first installment, featuring mostly cool-hued shades from Nabi, Mardi Gras, and Savina (bottles and caps appear to be identical to Mardi Gras). Frustratingly, the Mardi Gras don't have shade names, which is probably why when I was sorting these, I found two bottles of the same glitter; when I was going around to different stores buying them, I couldn't check my spreadsheet to see if I already had that shade name. Ah well, at least they were cheap so I didn't waste much money.

 

(all have clear topcoat in addition to glitter coats noted below; some will need more/thicker topcoat if I decided to wear these in a full mani)

1. Nabi Green Land (3 coats) [this and all the other Nabi have strong chemical smell]
2. Mardi Gras unnamed (3) [would look better over a dark base, I think]
3. Mardi Gras unnamed (3)
4. Mardi Gras unnamed (3)
5. Savina Blue Ice (3)
6. Savina Sparkling Water (3)
7. Mardi Gras unnamed (2)
8. Mardi Gras unnamed (3)
9. Nabi Abysis (3) [I assume they meant "Abyss" but that's not what the label says)
10. Mardi Gras unnamed (3)
11. Mardi Gras unnamed (2)
12. Nabi Sky Twinkle (3) [this appears to have deteriorated quite a lot in storage; I remember it being much more dense with glitter and now it really doesn't twinkle at all, so I guess a lot of the glitter just disssolved?]
13. Mardi Gras unnamed (3)
14. Mardi Gras unnamed (2)
15. Mardi Gras unnamed (3)
16. Mardi Gras unnamed (3)
17. Mardi Gras unnamed (3)
18. Mardi Gras unnamed (3) [I was impressed that the big square glitters did not need to be fished for]
19. Mardi Gras unnamed (3)
20. Savina Gold Flecks (2)

Wheel J8: Glitters from Icing and Savina

Nineteen of the twenty polishes on this week's episode of Nail Wheel Wednesday are from Icing, with Savina slipping in to fill out the wheel because the bottle looks very similar to Icing. I got most of these, perhaps all of these, from swaps back when I was doing a lot of swapping. (Many are from my friend the Canadian Nail Fanatic.) There are Icing stores in Michigan, but none of them are convenient to my usual polish hunting routes, thus the swapping. I know it makes no sense that I will drive around to a dozen drugstores in one day looking for displays but won't take the time to go to a mall to see what Icing has, but that's how I roll.



(all three coats plus topcoat except as noted below)

1. Icing Glamourous
2. Icing Tiger's Blood
3. Icing After Party
4. Icing Tell Me I'm Awesome
5. Icing Birthday Beyotch (2 coats)
6. Icing Rock Star from Mars
7. Icing Disco Ball
8. Icing Epic Winning
9. Icing Written in the Stars (2)
10. Icing All Night Long
11. Icing Sunlit (2)
12. Icing Crystal Heart
13. Icing The Golden Age of Glitter (2)
14. Icing Gold Dust
15. Icing Pop a Bottle
16. Icing Bedazzled
17. Icing Party Confetti
18. Icing The Party Has Arrived
19. Icing Glitterati
20. Savina Purple Hologram (2)

Destash notes: Looking at this wheel in isolation, there's not much I can let go of since there's a lot of variety here. 18 possibly, since it's pretty much 17 with the bluer purple taken out. I know I have some glitters similar to these in other brands, though, so one day I will have to have a big glitter face off to settle matters.
