Stunning!
4 years ago
I purchased two bottles last year, so glad I did as I think it has now been discontinued :(((( It is still possible to buy online with some retailers if you search hard enough. Fab on its own or as a topper. I have purchased six other glitter polishes in the Essie range all stunning! I’m massively addicted. I don’t find it difficult to remove as long as you use a good nail polish remover.

Love love love this color I think it might be a top coat but I’ve been wearing it by itself. It’s not like the other glitter polish I removed it easily with regular polish remover

BEST ADULT SPARKLE/GLITTER NAIL POLISH
9 years ago
This is my first time using Essie. I thought the bottle/packaging seemed basic and cheap compared to other brands that are placed next to them. I am so happy I tried this. I am an adult and have a hard time finding a "glitter" polish that doesn't look kiddish. I am beyond satisfied with this product. I use two coats over a gold polish and it POPS. It's absolutely gorgeous. It literally makes me smile when I glance down at my nails. PLEASE DON'T DISCONTINUE THIS PRODUCT. I am a nail polish fanatic (I own more bottles than you can count) I'm obsessed with polish because it's too expensive and time consuming to go to a nail shop on a regular basis. Nail polish is my treat and the gold luxeffects has rocked my world. I will not judge a polish by it's bottle again lol Essie you have gained another customer!!

Love this!

I love that this isn't a yellow gold color. It pairs well with many different colors, which is always a plus. I receive tons of compliments, when I wear this! It's very versatile, and easy to layer and control.

GLITTER NAIL POLISH / BEST WAY TO REMOVE
10 years ago
Hi Zengirl
I read your review of "Summit of Style" & saw your complaint about how difficult it is to remove glitter nail polish.
The best way to remove glitter nail polish without damage to your nails:
Place a cotton ball that is wet with nail polish remover, on top of your painted nail & then wrap a piece of ALUMINUM FOIL around the cotton ball & your fingertip......
let it set for 5 minutes (maybe a little longer).
The color will be completely dissolved.
You have to use a fresh cotton ball for each finger.
This really does work.
Hope this helps.
:)

Adds va va voom to any Essie colour

This is gorgeous but dear god how do you remove it off natural nails? I ended up scraping it off with a blade as my remover just took the colour off underneath and the glitter stayed on! I wore it with Madison ave hue and it looked great. Only 4 stars because i couldn't get it off easily.
