SPARKLY GRAPE

For today's NOTD, I used one of my Hot Topic polishes. Most of you know Hot Topic doesn't name their polishes (grrrrrr, pet peeve!), so I am calling this Sparkly Grape. As usual, purple is one of the hardest colors to photograph properly, so this looks much darker and bluer than it is in real life. Think of the quintessential grape purple color and that is what this is. It also has cool flaky shimmer in pink and purple. I love this color, the bottle and brush suck, but the color is gorgeous

    Such a pretty purple. I've never bought any of their polish before.

    What's wrong with the brush?

    Oh, I think they are naming their polishes. Check out their web page http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/Accessories/Cosmetics/Purple-Iridescent-Nail-Polish-237684.jsp

    This particular is Purple Iridescent if I am not wrong. Lovely color :)

    RAI - The brush sucks because there is no where good to hold it, all you have is that little tiny cap. Plus the actual brush is really big.

    GLAMOROUXX - Oh really! I will have to check that out, I didn't see anywhere on the polish that it had a name. Good, an unamed bottle of polish is just disturbing to me!

    My God Brooke I swear your nails are growing by the post! Love this color. I've never used Hot Topic polish. I love the bottle but I can imagine what a pain they are to use. Looks gorgeous on and love all that sparkle. I just order the Nubar Green Collection and the three Zoya Matte's. I know you don't like matte, hehe!

    That is very beautiful - all glowy. I like the solar-systemy speckles (does that make sense?)

    Such a pretty purple, I love the shimmer and the glow to it. I've never seen hot topic polish before but the bottle is very cute.
