Cristina
A pale grape jelly base with glitter in green, red, blue and a touch of other colors tossed. Overall effect on the nail is a teal/green with red peeking through. There are lots of different shapes of glitter, but all are fairly small and densely packed. Three coats was enough for almost complete coverage. There were still a few spots where I could see through it (especially in photos), but it is so sparkly in real life that it is not noticeable. This one really fascinates me as the red glitter seems to glow from within. Swatches are with two coats of topcoat...

Taylor
A dark maroon jelly base with green, red and blue/purple glitter. It is not as densely packed as Cristina, but the jelly base is darker, so it still provides nearly complete coverage in three coats. The purple glitter in this is really quite amazing, it color shifts from iridescent to green to purple (or at least that is what it looks like to me). At times it would catch the light and I would forget I'm wearing a glitter and think it is flakies over a maroon base. Regardless, I am crazy about this one. Swatches are with two layers of top coat...
