Sally Hansen Problem Child + Sephora by OPI Traffic Stopper Copper
Problem Child is anything but. I am in love love love with it! So much so that I bought two bottles. Call me crazy, I can handle it. Anyway, it is a deep eggplant purple shimmer with firey copper flakies that add depth and show themselves when the light is right.
In low light it looks like a deep, almost black, royal purple.
Oooh pretties!
Inspired by the copper flakies, I had to add some Sephora by OPI Traffic Stopper Copper on top.
It was very good. I’d been looking for a copper glitter for quite some time. This one has large hexes and fine glitter in a clear base.

American Apparel Hunter + Sinful Colors Call You Later glitter
Hunter by American Apparel is a medium hunter green creme. Although I’m not a fan of AA’s thin, skimpy brush, it did apply this polish evenly in two coats. It dries to a glossy finish and tends to look almost black indoors.
I have a lot of untried Sinful Colors glitters that I’ve been itching to bust out, so I painted Call You Later on top. It’s a clear base packed with different sizes of fine golden olive and emerald green glitter.
It works like a dream over Hunter’s dark base. Mmm, green sparklies.
This is one coat – all that’s really needed for an application like this, because the glitter is so dense. I loved the depth and interest it added! Since the glitter is finely textured this wasn’t much of a problem to take off – a nice bonus since the hassle of removing glitters can deter me from wearing them. I just used a cotton ball and my regular non-acetone Cutex nail polish remover.
Enjoy!
