Overview

If you want a nice mix of hex glitters, this is a collection to look at.  The clear base was a little on the thicker side, but not impossible to work with.  I was still able to brush a decent amount done without having to use the dabbing effect.  I did notice that the base had a slightly stronger scent than I’m use to as well.  Nothing offensive, but it was a slightly stronger scent.  Aside from that, I like the mix of colors within each color, especially Samba!

Price: $2.99
