Pirouette My Whistle



Name: Pirouette My Whistle

Collection: New York Ballet Collection

Colour: Super fine silver glitter and silver circle glitter in a clear base.

Coats: 1-2 coats over any polish. In the pictures I am wearing 2 coats over 2 coats of “Don’t Touch My Tutu”

Pros: This is a really pretty polish on its own or as a top coat over any polish. It can be so soft and delicate looking but also really cool over darker polishes! I like that after wearing a polish for a few days I can add this over top and change the effect. This is the closest glitter I have to being professional looking and I had no trouble removing this polish.

Cons: When I tried to wear this polish on its own, I had to really glob it on so it took a long time to dry. Also since it has a clear base, your nail line will still be visible.

Similar Shades: OPI “Crown Me Already” is made up entirely of the same silver foil circles as Pirouette My Whistle for a more high impact look instead of just a top coat.

You Callin’ Me A Lyre?


Name: You Callin’ Me A Lyre?

Collection: Soft Shades New York Ballet

Colour: Pale buttery pink

Coats: 3

Pros: Dainty and sweet, this subtle pink has a milky consistency with a hint of pale, peachy pink for a subtle but romantic look.

Cons: As it is a Soft Shades polish, I expected it to be a bit transparent and take a few quotes so I can’t complain about that. However, if this bothers you and you want more pigment, then you might want to pass on this collection. Also, this pink isn’t really very original as it looks a lot like most of the other Soft Shades pinks.

Similar Shades: Almost any Soft Shades pink.
