Circus Glitters - A Comparison

 

Ever since

Deborah Lippmann's

Happy Birthday polish hit the scene, 

we've seen a multitude of companies come out with

their own variations of this polish.

So, I decided to do a small comparison 

with the ones that I currently have.

I commonly refer to these glitter polishes as

Circus or Carnival Glitters, 

because that is exactly what they remind me of.

These little parties in a bottle can be worn alone, 

or layered with many other polishes to give

you tons of unique looks.

Party Of Five Glitters

This Wet n Wild polish came out with their newly

released Fast Dry collection.

Small & medium sized hexagons in shades of 

Silver, Light Blue, Green, Magenta & Red 

all in a clear jelly base.

Retails for $1.99 in most drug stores

Gems

This circus glitter came out with 

Milani's Jewel FX collection, which consists of

3 highly dense glitter polishes in Silver,Gold and Gems,

all in a clear jelly base.

Again, this has small & medium hexagons in shades of

 Silver, Light Blue, Green, Magenta, Red, & Gold. 

This polish, unlike the Wet n Wild one is very densely packed,

and you can achieve opaqueness with just 2 coats.

Retails on average of $4.99 in most drug stores.

Afternoon Picnic

Klean Color's Afternoon Picnic is the most unique of 

all the polishes in that it have a very wide range of hexagons,

ranging from small to quite large hexagons.

All in a clear jelly base, the hexagon colors are, 

Silver, Yellow, Blue, Orange, Green, & Magenta.

Retails on average $1.00 - $4.00 and can be found at

some specialty beauty shops and also at kleancolor.com

While I do not own Happy Birthday myself,

from what I can tell of the countless swatches I've seen,

is that Afteroon Picnic comes closest in the color range,

while Milani's Gems comes closest in density and sizing of glitter.

Either way, this gives you a small insight 

to some of the Circus glitters that are currently available to you, 

and they all offer something special!
