Urban Decay Zodiac Nail Color



Urban Decay is back in the nail game and better than ever. Limited edition, Zodiac, is a blackened green with mostly green and gold micro glitter, and some bright blue micro glitter. The blue glitter adds extra dimension and makes this polish extra special. I also personally love a micro glitter/sparkle finish. I find this slightly thinner formulation very easy to use, 2 coats is still opaque for me, but depending on how you apply you may need 3 coats. Zodiac is still available on urbandecay.com and from Sephora, which is where I purchased.

Sephora Formula X Brilliants - Freaky Like Freud




















Sephora describes this color as a periwinkle iridescent glitter. To me it looks like holographic rainbow glitter with a lilac reflection plus a sandy texture.


I used 2 coats over Revlon Colorstay Gel-Smooth base coat and Revlon Colorstay Gel-Shine Top Coat. This polish ate up the top coat and looks and feels like a textured polish, more so than other glitter polishes I have. The base of the polish is clear and also very thin, if the base was thicker the glitter would be more suspended. I also found it a bit harder to work with to get even coverage and avoid a chunky finish.

I got five days without chipping or any tip wear, which is pretty good for a glitter.
