Weekend Mani: Nail Rock + Sequins

For this weekend's mani, I thought I'd try the Nail Rock nail stickers that I bought a while back from ASOS but never used. I loved the pattern, but they were a bit difficult to apply. The stickers were a bit less pliable then say, the Sally Hansen version, which made adjusting really tricky. I got a bit frustrated, so what did the magpie inside me implore me to do? Add sequins! This seems to be the answer to everything lately, so I used the Maybelline Color Show Limited Edition Sequins polish in Sea-Quins. I really loved how the two looked together!

Maybelline Color Show Sequins in Sapphire Masquerade

I finally got my hands on two of the Limited Edition Maybelline Color Show Sequins colors I posted about here. I love the Color Show polishes (in fact, they're some of the best drugstore polishes), and the Sequins variety are no different. I'm in love with this richly saturated blue shade with purple glitter, and I think it's perfect if you like to layer your nail colors. With one coat, you can achieve a sheer topcoat effect, while with 3 coats (seen below) you get an opaque effect.

Have you tried any of the Limited Edition Color Show Sequins? Which is your favorite shade?
