Hello Beauties,
I wanted to do some de-cluttering earlier today and ended up playing with another amazing product from GlamGals. Whew! I wish I had so much time to try out the glitters with different nail colors but I’m still happy with how much I did. Today I have with you another pocket -friendly beautifying product for your nails that is the GlamGals Professional Glitterati nails. I have talked about GlamGals in my previous post that how impressed I am with the quality of their products and packaging for the price they offer. I received quite a few items from them and decided to review them one by one starting with my most favorite product the Dual Lip gloss and today my 2nd fave product. <3
This time I will just go ahead with the review and pass on with the packaging as I have talked a lot about it already.
So this one has the colored nail polish on one end and the glitter nail polish on the other end. You can wear them alone separately or with each other. I have tried wearing only the red, then red with glitter on one nail ,then glitter all over the reds and lastly used the glitters on top of while nail paint. It is up to you how to use it. Just play with it and be creative. For me glitters are always my top most choice as you do not need a lot of hard work applying them and it gives that oomphy look in just few seconds. Not to mention all the hard work you need in removing them but we can do anything for the sake of beauty,right π
Shade:
It comes in 10 shades and the one I got is 2NO2
A beautiful bright red color with golden glitters on one end. I loved wearing similar shades during the Summer and will continue to do so for the Fall as well. Red, is my favorite for all seasons.
Longevity:
I wore this for whole 3 days .
1st day, after applying, I washed dishes, did laundry , cooked and cleaned the house.
2nd day: Cleaned the house, washed dishes and washed my makeup brushes.
by 3rd day, I started seeing some peel offs from the tips of the nails which werenβt that noticeable . Again I did my daily chores such as cleaning ,washing and cooking by night-time I had only 3 nails with not-so-good peeled nail polish.
So if you are someone withΒ full-time maid and use your hands simply to wash yourself , I bet this would last longer. If you are someone who can just sit pretty and doll up the whole day then this will last way longer than you expect.
I used this and worked like a farmer.
And it lasted for good 3 days. Canβt ask for more!
Pigmentation/ Formula:
I have used many nail colors from high-end to drug store even the good βOl O.P.I have failed to impress me with their formula. The first coat is always disappointing as the consistency seems very thin and the nails arenβt actually coated fully. 2nd time is still not satisfactory but with this Glitterati nail color, first coat tells you everything. It has the perfect consistency I need in a nail color, not too thin and not too thick. Covers whole of my nails in just first coat which is a bomb because when I plan on topping it up with glitter nails, I apply only 1 coat. But if I apply the red on its own I always prefer applying two coats. I do that with every nail polish. I applied 2 coats for the pictures posted here.
Here comes question of the day for nail polish lovers, how long does it take to dry? It takes about 10 seconds to dry. Thatβs it. Add another 10 seconds for the second coat and you are good to go. However I suggest give it a whole 1 minute just to make sure it stays put.
Retails for AED 25 at any GlamGals outlets listed below. Here are all of the shades.
Current outlets :
1)Deira City Centre (outside Sephora)
2)Dubai outlet mall (outside Cold Stone)
3)Arabian Centre midriff (outside Costs coffee)

I have never heard of the brand but I do love the idea of pairing a glitter and a solid color in one product so you don’t have to go around the house with 5 bottles of nail polish (which is usually my case) π
I love how quickly these dry. Thats perfect for me as I always smudge my nails. I guess I’m just so impatient!! xxx
In that case, we all are impatient then . LOL
Wow! This sounds just great! I do a fair amount of chores myself and this one sounds right up my street!
I can’t see the photos that well, but it sounds as though you are really impressed x
I wonder why you aren’t able to see photos well. :/ Thanks for stopping by, yes, i really loved it.
I believe Maybelline have this kind of nail polish too. It’s really nice
Nail polish typically doesn’t last more than a few days on my hands before chipping — it doesnt matter the brand or method of application. But I have found wearing gloves when washing dishes or using harsh chemicals has helped them last a few more days before they chip and I have to remove them π Nice to see I’m not the only gal out there who’s Mani chips after the first couple days π
I have tried the gloves thing and you’re right. But I am crazy…i do not want the same color for more than 5 days.
