Sunday Toppings - Episode One

Welcome to my theme day.  I'm calling it Sunday Toppings.  I love ice cream, so this is a great theme for me. This theme day will feature special effect top coats over various polishes.

Today is Essie As Gold As It Gets over Wet n Wild Disturbia.  The Essie is from the Luxe Effects line.  I keep seeing it all over the place, so I think these are permanent.  It is a gold flake top coat.  It isn't real gold, and it looks very different from the real ones.  It's still a great effect, and less guilt inducing.

The flakes vary in size.  None are big flakes.  It is mostly comprised of very teeny ones, with a few medium sized flakes thrown in for good measure.

This top coat really brightens up Disturbia.  It gives it an amazing look, much more depth than Disturbia alone.  I'm so glad I tried this. In my opinion, it makes the polish so much better.

Nothing to disclose.

Wet n Wild -Disturbia

I bought this.

This one makes me think of Rihanna.  Pretty good song, eh?

Disturbia is a deep, blackened purple.  Kinda looks like eggplants.  It is really really glowy in the bottle.  It doesn't really translate on the nail, though.  It is still quite pretty, very vampy.

Formula wise, it was great.  This was two easy coats.  Minimal cleanup was done.  I have constant problems with the Megalast formula, it never seems to dry.  I do think that happens though after I've been using a bottle for awhile.  This was the first time I've tried this one, it dried fairly quickly.

I'm not a fan of these giant ass brushes.  WnW always has badly cut ones too.  Super jagged makes it hard to place it where you want.  Someone with big nail beds might like these pro wides more than I.

I wish this shimmer came off more on the nails than it does, but it's still quite pretty.  Maybe not quite what you'd expect from the bottle.  It does look very dark.  It does look black unless the light is right on it.
