Glitter Gal Copper


Here is the full review of Glitter Gal's Copper!


With these Glitter Gal reviews, I have included a quick video at the end to show how they sparkle. A still photo just doesn't show it the same!


This is two thin coats here. Usually with holographic polishes this thin, when I go to do another coat the brush usually starts pulling the bottom layer and creating bald patches. I was preparing myself to deal with this when wearing Copper, but it wasn't even an issue! These two coats just glided on.


Copper is more blingy than Not Another Red. I thought for sure that Copper was my favourite because of this, but it's a tough choice. Not Another Red is a bright bold red. 


If any New Zealanders want to get their hands on a bottle or two of the Glitter Gal range, head over to polishqueennz on TradeMe! She is the distributor for New Zealand and super friendly and lovely!


If the price is stopping you buying one, check out my post where I compare a range of polishes and their cost per ml. Glitter Gal says that they use the most expensive holographic particles in their polishes. Seriously, these holos do not disappoint!


Watch the video and try to say no.

Glitter Gal Not Another Red and Copper!


I just received these in the mail and had to show you right away! These are Glitter Gal's Not Another Red and Copper holographic polishes.


How did I not know how blingy these Glitter Gal polishes are?! As soon as I pulled them out of the packet, I ran to my sister (a holo fanatic) to show her, she loved them, ran to my mum (another holo fanatic), she loved them too! I was running all over the house to see them in different lighting.

Not Another Red
After ten minutes of swirling these around under every light source in the house, I thought I better set up a mini studio and take some shots! These were taken at night time, I will take daylight photos tomorrow.

Not Another Red
Not Another Red reminds me of OPI's Reflection or Ruby a wee bit, but of course 100x the bling.

OPI Reflection
That top 'Vintage' is supposed to read Couture.
Then we move onto Copper!

Copper
This is my favourite of the two. It has a rose gold feel to it.

Copper
Copper seems to be even more holo than Not Another Red. I think Not Another Red has more coloured pigment in it or something that's ever so slightly blocking the bling.

OPI DS Couture
Copper reminded me of a mix between OPI Couture and OPI Bay Bridge Sunset.

But of course a million times more sparkly!


I did a quick swatch of the two. Seems pretty accurate to me under the artificial lighting, although I'd say that Copper is a little more golden than what's shown here.

I will do a review on each of these shades very shortly. 

If Kiwis are interested in buying Glitter Gal polishes, they can do so from this lovely seller on TradeMe; polishqueennz

OPI Bay Bridge Sunset




















This isn't a holo from OPI's main line. Bay Bridge Sunset was a part of their Yokohama collection released in only very few select countries.


I used two coats here. It is wonderfully pigmented, not the slightest bit sheer.

Not only is it a unique copper holographic shade - it has a golden duochrome! I love it. I will wear this one in summer for sure.

On a side note: Do you mind if make-up or fashion design related things are shown on here? They won't be as frequent as nail posts, but I do love make-up and fashion design and would love to share them with you n_n Get your thoughts on them too!
