    Coat of colour, coat of glitter, coat of colour? Really? Never heard of that.

    *quickly opens a new tab to google it*

    I keep meaning to do it but whenever i glitter i get so excited by the sparkliness i don't want to cover it.

    Not sure I have many jellies, valid excuse to buy some more?

    Of course.

    I've always held of jellies as i don't like viable nail line.

    I'm soooooo tempted by the Nails Inc Juicy Sheers collection and i think they'd work ok for this?

    I got a bonus today at work so I'm going to treat myself to the three Nubars that have been on my wishlist forever (Reclaim, Jewel & 2010). Might see if beautybay.com have any jellies while I'm at it. Any recommendations anyone?

    Have been followilng this thread avidly from the beginning but due to having a baby haven't been able to do my nails at all. I'm no where near as talented or as neat as you lot but I gave it a go. Bought fantasy fire today and been itching to have a play with it all day.

    So I put it over Rimmel 60 Seconds Grey Matter (805)

    And after 2 coats of FF

    Pictures don't do it justice imo, as I couldn't get the light right, but I will attempt to take a picture tomorrow in daylight. Also falsies as my own nails are wrecked :(

    Hard to describe, coloured but less opaque than normal varnish, ultra shiny.
