Anise Sparkle Collection Swatches and Review

Anise Sparkle Collection Swatches and Review

Happy Friday!

I have some glitzy, glittery Anise Nail Polish creations to show you today!  I was sent 6 polishes from the Anise Sparkle Collection to review and I cannot tell you how long I have been waiting for Anise to have some glitter polishes available… and they did NOT disappoint!

Flashbulb:

Flashbulb consists of a sheer black jelly base and small to medium holographic silver glitters mixed in.  I used 3 coats for full opacity and 2 coats of a glossy top coat (this glitter was thirsty!) to smooth it all out.  I love holographic glitter, so I was instantly in love with this one!

Social Star:

Social Star is a classically pretty gold glitter in a clear base with some gold holographic glitters mixed in.  I used Social Star over Anise Flirtini for this post.  I loved these 2 colors together!  (annnnd I just realized I am holding the wrong bottle for this pic, so I will be redoing this shot to show the correct gold glitter bottle)  In the meantime here is the Anise website bottle shot:

Party Scene:

Party Scene is great on its own or layered over another color.  I used it on its own.  Party Scene is small purple glitter particles with slightly larger pink hex glitters densely packed into a clear base.  I used 3 coats of Party Scene and 2 coats of top coat for this mani.

After Hours:

After Hours is just as dense as Party Scene and just as wonderful!  After Hours contains gunmetal silver glitter particles with slightly larger blue glitter particles mixed into a clear base.  In the bottle, it didn’t seem like it would be as dense as it is, so I started with a base color of Chill Out (which you can see around the edges… ) but soon realized it was actual pretty opaque on its own.

Get Rich:

This is Get Rich!  Get Rich is a gorgeous red with a metallic finish  I used 2 coats for this mani and coverage was amazing.  I would suggest a good base coat with it though, my nails remained a reddish tint after removal (which a lot of reds do to me… moreso than the dreaded smurf blues!)

Seductive:

Seductive is gorgeous in the bottle and translates onto the nail PERFECTLY.  Seductive is a deep purple base with purple shimmer mixed in.  I only needed 2 coats and a top coat to complete this mani.  So pretty and such a perfect purple <3
