I'm not gonna lie. Lately I've been on a real base color+sparkle kick. I keep telling myself it looks neat...but I think I'm just making up for the fact that I can't get my hands on a bottle of OPI Mad as a Hatter. That polish is going for, like, $75 on eBay because it's discontinued. I just can't pay that price for one bottle.

ANYWAY. On to the pretties! I used a base of one of my most favorite colors of all time - China Glaze Shower Together. This may be the first polish I have to buy a second bottle of because I've used it so many times :)
This beautiful blue-green is from China Glaze's eCollection.Its one of my go-to colors when I can't decide what to wear. I decided to use this as my base because Sparkle-icious has a blue glitter in it. I got Sparkle-icious is a trade from the lovely Tara at Tough as Nails and Twice as Pretty. (I need to remember to start mentioning other bloggers who do polish swaps with me. I've also done swaps in the past with Traci at The Trace Face Philes).

Sparkle-icious is one of the glitters from the OPI Burlesque collection that were a holiday 2010 release. It's packed with blue, gold and purple glitter. I need to try this glitter over white and black polish, as well as on it's own. I also had someone mention trying it over a navy blue polish. That's also a possibility in the future :)

In the meantime, I'll let the sparkle do the talking :) These pictures were taken after two days of wear, hence the slight tipwear.

**DISCLAIMER**  I was not paid for this review by anyone. I either purchased these polishes myself or were given gifts as friends because I could not find the particular shade I wanted myself.  I am not a professional nail tech, nor do I want to be. I'm just someone who enjoys polishing my own nails :)
