Readers' choice: Gallery Colours Black Sparkle

Time for another swatch request! This time, Rebecca wanted to see a polish she personally had the kindness to gift to me, from an English brand called Gallery Colours. Maybe some of my English readers can shed som light over where to find this in store? Otherwise, I think you're lucky if you do find it, at least outside of the UK! This one is called Black Sparkle, and is another take on a popular theme.





Two coats, if I remember correctly, but could be three. Black base with irregular red glitters. Only needs one coat of your average thicker, self-leveling topcoat! I think this one is even better than the classic from China Glaze, Lubu Heels, as well as its followers from Eyeko and Color Club (and I'm sure many else that I don't have). While we're on the topic, let's have a closer look.

First, bottle:

Then, comparison, with Black Sparkle added to the afore mentioned, previously compared on the blog.

Look, it actually stands out a little even in the shade! Black Sparkle to the left, followed by Lubu Heels, Red Velvet from Color Club, and Eyeko's Vampira Polish.

Check them out in the sun:

I think Black Sparkle makes a strong statement in the sun too! Its base is fairly well pigmented, but still sheer enough to show the glitter particles - at least it's not as sheer as Lubu Heels. Vampira is probably still the winner when it comes to opacity, but Black Sparkle has the prettiest glitter.

A good pick by Rebecca, and I thank her for it! [heart] Next, I'm wearing this as a pedi, for sure.

Also, I'm actually running out on requests! So if there's any you'd like to see in particular, then drop me a line via email, twitter or MUA mail! Available colors still accessible on the collection page below the header.
