Nail Pattern Boldness: Le Big Party

Well, hello there, le You!  It's le me!  Today I have for you a couple of swatches of le AWESOME Le Big Party from Nail Pattern Boldness.  First saw this fun mix of matte glitter on Lavish Layerings (NOT the only blog I follow, swear) and stalked NPB until she re-stocked.  As you know, I bought 6 glitters at that time, and this is the 3rd of those that I've tried.  It is by far my favorite, both in formula and in look.  The glitter in Le Big Party is densely packed, yet it somehow manages to escape the usual thick and goopy consistency of other glitter polishes.  You could easily get full opacity in 2 coats, maybe even 1 if you have bitty nails.  I prefer it layered, though, which is what I've done below!

                          
                                  Seche Vite shrinkage, you may go to hell.

This is 1 coat of the Knight, 3 coats of Girly Bits Cu Blue, 1 coat of the Shield, 1 coat of Le Big Party, 1 coat of Seche Vite.  I wore Cu Blue on its own for a couple of days, but couldn't get it to photograph even close to how it looks in person. So I slapped some glitter on to show you instead.  Now, these are not the best swatches, even for me, but I wanted to show them anyway. The plan was to apply Gelous before posting to the blog, but I ended up picking the mani off during a Friday evening showing of "The Bourne Legacy".  <spoiler alert>Movie SUCKED.  Not at all worthy of the Bourne franchise.  There wasn't nearly enough ass kicking, and the story line was a bit redundant.  And really, what good is a Bourne movie without Jason Bourne?</spoiler alert> These photos are the only ones I have before picking off the polish.  Side note, don't ever pick off your polish.  It's murder on the nails.  Check out the Lavish Layerings link above for a better representation.  I plan on swatching this again at a later date and will use either Gelous or Glitter Food (which I haven't bought yet, but intend to) so it doesn't look so gritty.  Even gritty, it still rocked my socks.  

What the hell kind of nail polish blog refers you to another blog for better pictures of the polish its featuring?
