I'm not sure if this is actually a named collection, so I'll just refer to them as "the new Ulta3 glitters". Ulta3 released a glitter collection last year which were made up of uniform sized small glitters. This time around, they've packed in a variety of sizes. The result is a collection of six polishes that I think are great staples.
First up is Twinkle Toes, a silver glitter. It's a bit difficult to see exactly what sizes of hex glitter are in this, but I think I counted 4 different sizes. There's also a sneaky diamond shaped glitter on my ring finger, can you spot it? This is one dabbled coat over Ulta3 Blue Marlin.
Over the Rainbow is the gem of this collection. Multi-coloured, multi-sized glitters! Of course there are already dozens of dupes of this out there, but one can never have enough multi-coloured glittery top coats. This is 2 dabbled coats on the index and middle finger, and 2 wiped coats on the ring and pinky fingers, over Ulta3 Melted Marshmallow. (At the Terry White where I picked these up there was a little stand with some suggested undies for each of the glitters, and this was one of the combos. I also used the combo for the red glitter, but I can't for the life of me remember what the other combos were and I can't find them online anywhere.)
New Year's Eve comes a close second favourite. It's an almost-dupe of piCture pOlish Splash, but Splash only has 2 different sizes of glitter, while New Year's Eve has 3 or 4. Am I the only person who thinks of Blue Year's Eve every time I read that name? This is 2 wiped coats over Ulta3 Sweet Violet.
Luck of the Irish is a straight forward green glitter. This is one dabbled coat over Ulta3 Corsican Rose.
And last but not least, here is Disco Fever, a red glitter. Fairly self-explanatory. This is one dabbled coat over Ulta3 Orchid (another one of the suggested combos).
Ulta3 polishes are available in pharmacies Australia-wide, and cost around $2 each.
Love the swatches - I was originally just going to get Over the Rainbow, but now I think I need some more!
ReplyDeleteThanks! They're not the most original glitters, but I think they're pretty enough to justify having all of them :p
DeleteJust bought Over the Rainbow today and after seeing your swatches I'm so glad I did! Ulta3 did a good job on this collection!
ReplyDeleteI agree, they did a great job! Ulta3 almost never disappoints :)
DeleteI am drooling a little over the Luck of the Irish/Corsican Rose colour combo you have going on. Time to hit up Priceline...
ReplyDeleteI really struggled to find a good combo for Luck of the Irish, I'm pretty proud of myself for coming up with that :p Next time I think it'll probably be a more Christmas-y combination.
Deletewhere did u find this collection in sydney? i had no luck in finding them yet ):
ReplyDeleteI got mine at a Terry White chemist, but there is a stockist locator that you can use to find an Ulta3 stockist in your area here: http://www.facebook.com/Ulta3/app_470468419658881
