Glitter Nails! Sephora by O.P.I Traffic Stopper Copper and Sephora Hey DJ!

I’ve grown up with 3 older cousins that always took care of me and were the sisters that I never had. They’d dress me up, do my hair and makeup, take photos and take me out for ice cream. I LOVED trying on different outfits and listening to their fashion advice.  I practically only wore their hand-me-downs growing up too. Saved my mama a ton of money!

Well now days we try to meet up every 1-2 months for brunch or dinner to catch up.  At our last cousins’ get together one of my cousins noticed that I had no polish on (which is apparently a rare sight these days) and she sat me down to do my nails- what a treat!  All I had to do was sit still and try not to move my hands, haha.  Here’s the end result! She did an awesome job, huh?  I wish Hubs had the same skills… OH! And I wish he knew how to french braid my hair! How awesome would that be?! Anyway, I digress!

This is Sephora Hey DJ! topped with Sephora by O.P.I Traffic Stopper Copper top coat

I instantly fell in love with this nail polish combination.  It reminds me of a twinkly night sky in a fairytale.   Sephora Hey DJ is a dark dark violet that can almost look black from afar and OPI Traffic Stopper Copper a copper nail polish (small and large copper shade glitter in a clear top coat).  I just checked Sephora and you can still buy both of these colors! I might have to go out and get these…

One thing I was thinking about while my nails were being painted was the horror stories that I’ve heard about trying to remove glitter nail polish.  Right now my nail polish seems to be chipping off pretty cleanly so the thought did cross my mind to just let it all completely chip off, haha.  I also saw the foil method which I may end up trying out soon.  If I do try the foil method for removing glitter nail polish I’ll be sure to snap some photos to share with you.

Have you tried any glitter nail polish yet?   Which one is your favorite? I’d love to hear some recommendations! And is it really that hard to remove glitter nail polish??

Wishing you a SPARKLY day!
