Nail Pattern Boldness - Ninja Vs. Pirate

Kate's Nails

 

Recently I've been on the hunt for a black glitter top coat.  I couldn't find what I wanted in any store, so I decided to try the indie polish route.  I had never bought an indie polish before, but had seen some gorgeous glitter polishes on other blogs.  I headed over to Etsy, but couldn't find what I was looking for (I'm not entirely sure what I want, but I'll know it when I see it!).  However, I did stumble across this fun polish from Nail Pattern Boldness.  It wasn't what I was searching for, but it was too unique to pass up.  Ninja Vs. Pirate is flakes of black and silver glitter in a clear base. 

 

Isn't it pretty??

 

I decided to layer it over Caitlin by Zoya, with an accent nail of Essie's Lilacism.  I did have to do a bit of dabbing to get even glitter coverage, but it was not a pain to work with.  There were a few pieces of glitter that refused to lay flat, but after two coats of Seche Vite you could barely tell.  I'm really happy with the results!  I even got a compliment from one of the women working at Ulta today.  I can certainly see myself using this polish a lot.  It's an easy way to add some excitement to your nails with little effort.

 

I was curious to see how it would look over other,  brighter, colors.  So here is Ninja Vs. Pirate layered over:

Sally Hansen Sun Kissed

Sally Hansen Pacific Blue

Essie Bachelorette Bash

Essie Mojito Madness

I'll be wearing the orange combo near Halloween, for sure!

Here it is with a coat of Sephora's Matte Top Coat.  It doesn't make a huge difference, but is fun none the less!

 

So what do you think of my first indie polish purchase??
