In my comments for the review of FOA's Heart of Glass, the lovely Madeleine Lee of Madeleine in Wonderland commented that she would really like to try Boogie Wonderland, so I thought I would do a little review and show some swatches for you all.

BOOGIE WONDERLAND
Boogie Wonderland ~ The best way I can describe this polish is
An Exploding Lavender Pinata Bomb! There is so much glitter in there it just explodes on your nails and you can't help but get a thick helping of glitter on every nail. Has the same tinted milky gel base as
Heart of Glass but I found my base was slightly thicker than
HoG and I had trouble applying thin coats to my nails. Where'is with
Heart of Glass I felt I needed 3 coats for good coverage I was happy with 2 coats of
Boogie Wonderland.
Boogie Wonderland has a wonderful mix of glitter, the ones I could pick out were,
Green, Blue and
White Bars. Small
Orange, Blue,
Pink, Purple and
Red Hexes and larger
White Hexes. I did find I needed to roll the bottle between application or the heavier glitters tended to sink to the bottom, I had no trouble getting an even coat of glitter all over the nail because there is
SO much glitter!

1 coat ~ 2 coats ~ 3 coats

I experienced curling with the bar glitter and you need a few layers of top coat to seal them. This was a bit tedious for me as I don't have time to sit there applying layer after layer of top coat and waiting for it all to dry. This is not a nail polish I would wear if I was in a hurry.

I had applied 4 layers of topcoat for this photo and STILL had not managed to seal the curly bars sticking up. Anymore coats and the whole lot is just going to peel off, I think
FOA should have left the bars out of this one, what do you think?
Now for some swatches. I chose four base coats picking out the shades to match the glitter in the bottle. I chose strong shades because the milky base makes everything turn pastel except for the last one
Revlon Lily which is such a gorgeous creamy pastel I thought it would look good with a layer of glitter.

SINFUL COLORS ~ LET'S TALK ~ liked this one better with only one coat of Boogie.
MINERAL FUSION ~ SAPPHIRE DREAM ~ This is a new polish I picked up from iherb, you can find out more about the range
here.
OPI ~ A ROLL IN THE HAGUE ~ I did not like this combination, too milky and ruined the gorgeous vibrancy of Hague.
REVLON ~ LILY ~ This would probably be my favourite combination.

All of the swatches above are with two coats of
Boogie Wonderland, personally I didn't feel that two coats of Boogie looked too good on a different shade base except for
Sapphire Dream.
In the photo below I did like Boogie as a one layer topcoat on Let's Talk (middle) it's not too busy and Lily (R) but I prefer two coats on Sapphire dream (see above) but I don't think Boogie did anything at all for OPI A Roll in the Hague (see above).

My final verdict: I don't like this polish as much as
Heart of Glass, what ruins it for me is the curly bars of glitter. I think they detract from an otherwise gorgeous glitter and look like loose strands of eye lash or broken bits from the brush. I felt two coats of Boogie on my nails without a base colour looked the best but I am not in love with this polish.
I picked up the complete set for $4.95 per bottle online at
Makeup Express and they are also available at
Fashion Addict and
Priceline. Love to know what you think, please leave a comment below I would love to hear from you.
