Glittering Elements ~ Shhh, don’t tell


Glittering Elements ~ Shhh, don’t tell
Purple with holographic microglitter

Here’s the next Glittering Elements polish up. This one is a nice purple, with a sweet touch of holographic microglitter. I love both purple and holo, and a mix is just great!

“Shhh, don’t tell” is also from “The Secrets Trio” collection, inspired by one of Casey’s favourite TV shows: “Pretty Little Liars”.

I didn’t experience any problems with the formula. It took three coats to reach full opacity, and the drying time in between coats was average. And the beauty in the bottle definitely transfers onto the nails! I didn’t apply a topcoat before taking these pictures.

Three coats, no topcoat:


Isn’t that just pretty?




The holo microglitter looks amazing, I really like that detail!


Here’s a blurry pic to show the hologlitter off:


I made a glitter gradient with another Glittering Elements polish, namely “Star Dust”, which is a silver holo glitter topcoat. It’s a mix of silver and holographic glitters in various sizes, and I love it! It’s the kind of polish that can spice up pretty much any and every mani! I applied one layer of the little finger, and sponged the tips of the rest of them. Another layer of Poshé topcoat finished the whole thing off, and here’s the final result:


Star Dust could easily become a favourite of mine, I just love this kind of polish!


I think it looks as if I dipped my fingertips in holographic space sugar! :D


And one last shot from a different angle:


The Verdict:
I really like Shhh, Don’t Tell. The colour is really cool, and holo glitter is always a nice addition to a polish. Star Dust is just amazing, I really love that! The mix of glitters here is perfect!

I think these two are a perfect match!

Shhh, Don’t Tell and Star Dust are 5 free.

  3. Love Star Dust but I'm not sure how much I like Shhh, don’t tell. I kind of wish the purple was a bit richer.

  5. EH not really floating my boat. But I'm not a fan of micro holo glitter. Oh and BTW-I'm currently wearing the grey you suggested I get from BB Couture-atleast I think it is-either way, I got the one you told me to get!!!
