Welcome to another installment of Twinsie Tuesday! This Tuesday's theme is a layered polish, so I decided to bust out a Shuffle The Deck, a silver, pewter and red glitter from Wet N Wild's new CVS-exclusive line Spoiled. The name is perfect since the glitter is the same color as playing cards. I layered Shuffle The Deck over OPI It's Totally Fort Worth It from last year's Texas Collection.
This is It's Totally Fort Worth It alone. It's a pale silver with subtle pink microshimmer. This polish is pretty sheer and a little brushstroke-y but I like that it's something a bit different as far as silvers go.
Shuffle The Deck's formula is pretty thick and I mostly had to guide the glitter where I wanted it to go. I used two coats here. It has an almost glue-like consistency where I had to really drag it across my nail and you can see a few spots here and there (mainly on my ring finger) where it pulled up some of It's Totally Fort Worth It when I was trying to move the glitter around. Frustrating! I'm not sure if that's due more to user error or the thick formula; probably a little of both.
The formula is just okay but I like the polish itself. It's like a little casino on your nails! I typically prefer my glitters opaque but Shuffle The Deck was a fun change for me.

Great combo!! Shuffle the Deck is really pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :) I'm really digging Shuffle The Deck.
DeleteI haven't seen Shuffle the Deck before! It's really cool, looks great over the silver!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I debated forever about what to layer this over and finally settled on silver. I like how it turned out!
DeleteI picked up Shuffle The Deck last week and I'm excited to give it a try. I love the colors and the name is absolutely perfect. That sucks about the formula though, but it looks great over the silver.
ReplyDeleteIt's a cool polish--very different from anything else I have. But definitely learn from my mistakes and wait a good while between your base and Shuffle The Deck! :)
DeleteI need Shuffle The Deck, it's amazing! :) I've given you the cute blog award - http://charlottes-nails.blogspot.com/2012/02/cute-blog-award.html
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'll check it out!
DeleteThis is such a cool & original polish! And looks great over totally fort worth it!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :) I can't really think of another polish quite like this.
DeleteI totally didn't expect this from you, which I think makes this even more unique. Very cool, reminds me of Atlantic City ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's outside my usual wheelhouse but I enjoyed mixing it up--and I dig the casino vibe a lot as well. :)
DeleteLove it! I tried to find the glitter wNw Spoiled at my CVS with no luck!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like from what I've heard different CVS stores are carrying different selections from Spoiled so keep at it! I hope you find the ones you're looking for soon!
DeleteAWESOMESAUCE! I love it Chelsea!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nory!
Deletei have both of these polishes, and I have trouble with my Shuffle the deck too. I think it's partly due to the brush, which seems to swell up with polish for me..
ReplyDeleteand I agree about the opi being sheer and brush strokey, but I love the subtle reddish flakes! I don't know if they're ever visible, but we know they're there!!
I'd say you're right on about the brush adding to the problems with the formula. I had the same issue as well where the polish kept clinging to the brush too much. I like the little red flash in the OPI too! Like you said, I doubt the average person looking at your nails would notice it but at least we know to look for it! :)
DeleteVery pretty! We both chose a silver base with multi-colored glitter. Great minds think alike :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! And they most certainly do. :)
