CLICK ON THE PHOTOS TO ENLARGE
I am sooo excited about today's post!
Chelsea from the Etsy shop, Pretty and Polished, asked me to review her new collection, Sparkle Tattoo, which will be available for purchase on January 1st! So only a couple more days! The above and below photo shows the five polishes in the collection. My favorites from the collection are Sparrow and Inked!
Update: The glitter in this polish was easy to remove with polish remover and no tin foil method or struggling..

I originally wanted to try a combo with OPI Alpine White and Pretty and Polished Sparrow, but my white polishes did not want to cooperate.
So I did this instead! This is two coats of China Glaze Let's Do It in 3-d (which I purchased from Chelsea as well. She is awesome at dusty hunting. You can check her blog for current HTF polishes that are available.)
Then I added one coat of Pretty and Polished Sparrow. No top coat.
This is alternating between OPI Funky Dunkey and OPI Planks A Lot, and one coat of Pretty and Polished Inked. On the ring finger, I did a light gradient with the two OPIs layering Inked on top of it.
One coat of top coat.
I have no idea why my fingers look all pruny (Is that even a word?).
Overall, the polishes are gorgeous!!! I had fun playing with them. The dry time is average and the application is smooth. In my opinion, the perfect amount of glitter comes out on the brush for each coat. My favorites from the collection are Sparrow and Inked. The combinations with this collection are endless!
