I used Prized Possession Purple as my base, which did have a couple bald spots up at the top but that was easily fixed with another coat after letting it dry for a couple seconds. That color is more of a royal and was the darkest of the two in the four pack. Next I applied a single coat of Not Another Lonely Glitter, which is a purple micro glitter with some slightly bigger round pieces in it. Once that part dried I added more glitter to the tips so there was a high concentration of sparkle at the tips. It looks like I've dipped my fingers in purple glitter! I really like how it has the fading effect and my other dear friend Twin said it looked like purple rain. So that's what I call this look. Stolen from the Symbol formerly known as Prince and now again known as Prince.
In between the glitter application I put on my quick dry top coat so it would set and not move around before I started adding tons of glitter. And like all glitters I have used extra top coat was needed to smooth things out.
I like getting the mini sets of colors so I can test it out without buying the full sized bottles and finding out if it looks good or not. I've said it before, it's a good investment. The only problem I have with minis is the applicators are also tiny. It's almost to the point of being awkward. I almost can't get the standard three-stroke coverage with them, but I managed with this set. Just had to say that.
Prized Possession Purple looks very similar to the NYC Purple Pizzazz Frost that I did a few posts ago, but with less blinding shine and maybe a little less rich of a color. So if you can't get your hands on this particular shade by Nicole, NYC Purple Pizzazz Frost is a great dupe.
Nicole by OPI full sized bottle retail at $8 US, I got the mini set that came with four different polishes for $7.99 US (I think I got it on sale)
