The day after Christmas usually means going to the Saks Fifth Avenue 50% off after Christmas sale but this year I managed to keep myself at home to prevent any damage to my wallet. I don't need anything but I can't help wondering what bargains I missed out on!
I adore matte glitters and when I saw Emily De Molly's variation of a matte glitter in a black jelly base I knew I had to give it a try. In Muted Madness there's a colorful array of matte glitters in blue, red, orange, and gold offset by a colorful holographic shimmer packed into a black jelly base. I found application to be standard for a black jelly polish - it was sheer so it took three coats to get this opaqueness, and fortunately the glitter wasn't overly dense so there wasn't any dragging or clumping towards the ends. I would suggest to allow the layers to dry completely before another coat because of the jelly nature. It dried fairly shiny on its own too, but I used a layer of Poshe to speed the drying and add a touch of shine.

I really enjoyed the subtle glitter effect of the matte glitters against the black base of this polish, but in some lights it was too subtle to me and looked like a standard black polish. I think next time I might try it over a dark purple base, preferably a jelly, to see if the glitters pop a little more. If you have this, have you tried it over a colored base?
