I recently ordered a bunch of Shimmer polishes from Etsy here. I couldn't take it any longer, seeing such pretty pictures of them on other blogs! All the glitter! All the shimmer! I love.
This is two coats of Alice over two coats of Orly Shine. I used Gelous and Dior top coat over that, but it was not smooth yet. I ended up taking off this mani after a few hours because my right thumb got messed up and I was frustrated with a few other little things, but I'm definitely going to be trying Alice again in the future. I don't know why, but I often end up disliking glitters over foils. It's something to do with the appearance of texture.
The stars in Alice are a bit of a nuisance to me. I had them on both my thumbs and the index finger you see here. They are very pronounced and hard to smooth out with top coat. I LOVE stars in general, but in this polish, I would prefer it without. Overall, an extremely blingy and beautiful polish that I'm sure to love when I get it on in a better combination. What's your favorite Shimmer polish?

I don't own any Shimmer polishes (only indies I have are Hare and old Lynnderella) but this one looks pretty. Too bad you weren't really happy with it, hopefully a different base color will help change your appreciation of it :)
This looks gorgeous! It's a shame that it was so annoying, I hate it when I spend ages on a manicure only to take it off because I bumped one of the nails or something equally annoying! Haha
