Nails Inc's Alexa Stars Glitter Polish is an awesome gold and silver glitter polish.
I painted it over Alexa Night Sky Navy polish which I think looks great. I do actually really love this polish but there are a couple of things to be aware of.
It can be quite difficult to get the stars onto your nails with the brush. I used the brush to pull the stars to the rim of the polish bottle so I could then pick them up individually with a cocktail stick and place them on my nails. This worked quite well.
I think less is definitely more with these stars so I started to decrease how many I was applying to each nail.
Also, be warned that the stars don't stick flat down on to your nail as most people's nails are curved. This means that their corners tend to stick out a bit with the possibility of accidentally catching on your clothes. I applied a top coat over my stars to make sure they were sealed on to my nails.
These things really don't bother me that much so I still really really love this polish but I thought I should let you guys know!
What do you think about this nail polish? Do you think the effort involved in this polish is worth it?
Lovely manicure! You must have great patience or you've had lots of practice :) Love the base colour too. Very pretty

DeleteThis looks gorgeous but you must have a lot of patience, it sounds like a fairly long process (I think my right hand would probably look rubbish!)

DeleteI've tried this and got too frustrated with the stars (hearts too if you've tried those) but the cocktail stick tip is a good one! Thanks!
