Of course I had to do a skittles mani when I first got them. Who could resist?

Strawberry Shortcake: pink base with pink shimmer and a mix of red, hot pink, green, white and black hex and square glitters

Lemon Meringue: yellow base with gold shimmer and a mix of yellow, gold, white, copper and green hex and circle glitters

Blueberry Muffin: blue base with a turquoise shimmer and a mix of various shades of blue, periwinkle, white and purple hex and square glitters

Raspberry Tart: lavender base with a violet shimmer and a mix of various shades of purple, berry, fuchsia, white and green hex, square, micro-slice and circle glitters

Purple Pieman: purple jelly base with a blue shimmer and a mix of microfine holo, berry, blue and a rainbow hex and square glitters


The formula and application were great on all five of these. Each one had plenty of glitter and it spread nicely on the nail. Mine are mini bottles, which are a little trickier as far as getting the glitter pieces out, so I use a toothpick to do the "scrape and drag" (down the sides and across the bottom) on each mini bottle I have with glitter, no matter the brand. I did that on these before starting and had no issues at all. I used three coats of each of them and one coat of top coat for the photos.

What do you think of this collection? Personally I loved them and especially the color-saturation and coordinating shimmer in them. I think this sets them apart from other spring lines I've seen. My favoriteis Raspberry Tart - and Strawberry Shortcake and Purple Pieman are tied for 2nd. It's really hard to choose! Which are your favorites? Will you be picking up any (or all) of them up Friday?


These polishes will be available starting Friday, April 26, 2013 at the Red Dog Designs Shop and they will retail for $8.75. Also be sure to check out Red Dog Designs on Facebook,for swatches, news and updates!
