NOTD: OPI Dating a Royal + Last Friday Night

I decided to try something a little bit different with my nails this past weekend.  I recently picked up from the OPI Katy Perry Collection both glitter polishes that were released: Teenage Dream and Last Friday Night.  I tried the glitter on its own on 1 nail and decided it was a definite no no.  It needed a base colour to come through.

OPI Dating a Royal
I chose OPI Dating a Royal.  It is a gorgeous royal blue colour that looks a bit darker in a the pic below on my nails, so above is the bottle which is more true to life.

OPI Dating a Royal + Seche Vite
After I applied 3 coats of this to my nails I put a coat of Seche Vite on top which will hopefully make it easier to remove the glitter polish as I've previously applied glitter and it was a [insert sweary word] to get off!

OPI Last Friday Night
Above is a pic of the glitter in the bottle.  It looks so pretty and sparkly, far from what it looks like on any fingernail!

One glitter nail
At first I thought I would only apply to one nail, but then I thought what the hey! and went the whole hog...

Sparkly, huh?  I really like this look for a change. 

So here is my method:
3 coats of Dating a Royal
1 coat of Seche Vite
3 coats of glitter polish
1 coat of Seche Vite

Now all I have to do is look forward to removing this, oh the joy! ;)
