Smitten Polish Nerds Swatch and Review

Hooray for the weekend!  I hope you're enjoying yours.   I have a photo session planned with LO so we can get our holiday cards done.  Luckily our friend that is visiting is an excellent photographer so I'm confident the pictures will turn out well - the only question is what is she going to wear?  We have to make holiday cards that are not specific for Christmas because her father's side is Jewish.  Hmm, what to do?  Maybe I'll do something with snowflakes.  My friends are also foodies to an extent so we get to go out and have some good food with them.  I love friends like that!

I always love a purple polish and Smitten Polish's Nerds is no exception.  This is a lovely lavender crelly base with small fuchsia and blue hex glitter and truly does remind me of Nerds candy.  I like that this polish doesn't have large glitter pieces that a lot of other glitter polishes feel compelled to add to their glitter mixes.  The tiny glitter creates a subtle sparkle effect that gives off a pleasant flash of color when worn.  As a result, I think it would a really nice office appropriate polish.  Application was lovely albeit sheer so it required four layers to achieve the opacity in these pictures.  I had no trouble with clumping or uneven glitter dispersion.  For added shine, I used a layer of Poshe in these pictures.

I adore the tiny glitters in this polish and looking at it makes my mouth water, just as if it was really Nerds candy.  What about you, do you know of any polishes that have small glitter suspended in a color base?
