Recently I reviewed Face of Australia's Glitterati Nail Polish in Heart of Glass and the lovely Renu from My Beauty Junction left a comment saying how much she loves heart glitter, so I thought I would do a few swatches of my polishes containing hearts just for Renu. I then found a polish I owned that had hearts & stars so I thought I would throw in a couple of star polishes too AND a Butterfly Polish.
OPI ~ Nothin' Mouse About It ~ this polish is small pink, purple and gold glitter with larger pale pink hearts in a pink jelly base. The hearts tend to sink to the bottom so the best application is to apply one coat of the pink glitter gel polish, fish out the hearts place them where you want and then when dry seal with another coat of the glitter gel polish. It's fiddly but I think worth it, looks great if you use a different shade base.
NICOLE by OPI ~ Modern Family ~ She's Lily Something ~ gold, pink and purple glitter in a pink jelly base with larger pink stars. Very similar to Nothin' Mouse About It.

I used MODE Blackberry as the base coat for the two OPI polishes. It is an almost black/purple polish but when you add the two OPI's as a top coat it does something magical and turns into a gorgeous glittering purple base.

Looney Lacquer ~ Love Gold ~ A Gold metallic base with white micro, bar and heart glitter. This was a limited edition Indie polish no longer available. I really like this polish looks fantastic on, I just wish there had been a few more hearts to play with as they are hard to find.

FOA glitterati ~ Heart of Glass ~ you can read my review and find more swatches of this polish here.
MODE ~ Pocket Rocket ~ small silver glitter with larger multi-coloured hearts and stars in a clear base. This is a fantastic polish if you want to add some hearts and stars to decorate your nails. You need to fish out the glitter but the base doesn't dry too quickly so you have time to position the hearts and stars where you want them and when dry just add a layer of the glitter base or a top coat to seal.

Again I used MODE Blackberry as the base and Pocket Rocket as the topcoat. This time the blackberry remained black but really brought out the colours of the glitter.
Emily de Molly ~ Flutterby Garden ~ Green, Lavender and Pink multi sized hexes and bar glitter in a clear base with larger silver butterflies. This is another gorgeous Indie Polish and you can find out more about them here.

The first swatch (far left) shows Flutterby Garden by itself and the three bases show up the gorgeous FB as a topcoat the three bases l-r are:
Australis Sweet Pea ~ OPI Pedal Faster Suzi! ~ Revlon Mischievous

The butterflies aren't too hard to fish out and there is plenty of time to position them where you want before the polish dries.
I recently saw in Priceline that Revlon have two new glitter polishes available in Australia that are now on my wish list.
 |
| Celestial FX & Hearts of Gold FX |
Revlon Top Speed Celestial FX and Hearts of Gold FX; Celestial contains holographic Stars, Half-Moons and Diamonds in a multi-coloured glitter base. Hearts of Gold contains holographic Hearts in a gold glitter base. I really want these.
