This is 2 coats of Billie French White, followed by Billie Amethyst sponged on the tips and 1 coat of Icing Passion hap haphazardly layered on top then 2 coats of Sally Hansen Strobe light followed by TC.
I must note that I had worn my nails plain white for a day and a half before I fancied it up - That might be a new record for me as I am not a fan of pure white mani's for some reason.
Sponging the area before applying glitter on a glitter tipped mani like this sometimes gives the illusion of an all glitter area. I tend to do this look alot and I am usually happy with how it turns out - regardless of the colours I use.
I looooove that there are different sizes and shapes in Sally Hansen Strobe Light, and I am glad that I used the pinkish shimmery and dense Icing polish, Passion, before I added the Sally Hansen glitter.
Yippee = the Wet n Wild Fast Dry polish's have landed in Canada!!!!! I am a little disappointed with the brushes in these -they seem very stiff- like the brush on my Wet n`Wild Wild Orchid polish. All the other polish's I have from wet and wild have lovely brushes..... weird

with Billie French White, a stark white creme polish
I used Billie Amethyst for the sponged portion
sponged using a 'sexy car wash' sponge
I then stroked on polish straight off the brush to fill in any sparse areas towards the tips of my nails

...and another glitter mani
Here is a photo of another pretty glitter sprinkle mani I did in summer-time. I didn't think that the size of the glitter would be a factor but a smaller size seems to be a better choice for the future.
The holo glitter in this manicure is much smaller than the one in THIS POST.

So niceall those glitters!! I'm in Canada too and find it hard to get all the nice brand... Where do you shop??
Agree with Lydiane, where do you get Billie colours? I have never seen them before. I'm another Canadian Nail Blogger (yay canada!) Also, I attempted one of your "poncing" attempts, if you wanted to check it out on my blog go ahead! I love all the nail designs you do!
You are the Empress of glitter. I so love your manis.
I really love this manicure, so much!
I just copied your manicure from one of your last posts.
The "copy of a copy"
Except I used gold, black and white.
It's on my blog, if you want to see.

I'm curious if that Billie white works well with konad? I'm still searching for the perfect white.
Your killing me with these gorgeous manicures. Each one is superb. I love all that glitter! I never wear white polish. I have about 6 bottles of it! The Dollar Store always seems to stick white in with another polish. Now I know what to do with them.
I love the white/glitter mani :)
Lydiane Gaborieau - I shop at dollar stores.... every once and a while they get a big shipment of discontinued polish, I always ask when they expect one to come in then stalk the store....
elizabeth - Thank you ! I will check out your blog.
jaljen - Thanks! That first mani is fool-proof and easy to do.
Minty - Thanks!
Queen of crap - Billie white is very pigmented but dries very fast,
Lucy - Thnaks Lucy, you should try and franken some pale spring and summer polish's!!!
rmcandlelight - Thanks!
