The other JENsations purchase I made was for this beauty - Shooting Star. The item description is "silver holographic star bar glitter" but I am really not wanting to call this holographic anymore - I almost want to call it rainbow, because it's reflective of rainbow colors. I think holographic needs to be a reserved term now a days. I don't know. Sound off in the comments.
I decided to layer this over my existing Style Icon manicure because I wanted to see this over a red. I should have picked a different red, I think but this works. This is one coat of Shooting Star topped with Cult Nails Wicked Fast. This polish is MUCH easier to brush on and while I still had to fish a bit for the stars, I was able to get them out of the bottle without too much effort.
The bar glitter is so iffy for me. I like the way it looks but at the same time, I have trouble making it lay flat on my nails from time to time. I had to use nail clippers to cut back some of the glitter that wouldn't lay down.
I actually ended up using this polish for an accent nail for my Election Day polish. (For those still following it, I lost my local election. I only received 36% of the vote to the incumbent.)
Very pretty - and I'm sure more coats would have made this more opaque but I was just looking for a little pizzazz to my manicure - not a glitter war.
I purchased my bottle in August for $7.50 but it appears her prices have gone up slightly.

I have seen these pretty star bottles from JENsations on blogs and finally decided that it was high time for me to get some. This is Stars In Space, a silver & holographic star & hexagon glitter in a clear base. I decided to layer it over my LVX Avireo manicure to spice up the fall look a bit.
I will let you know that I did have to fish out the the stars from this beautiful polish which makes me a little sad, but I was able to get some on my nails. I topped my manicure with Cult Nails Wicked Fast.
As you can see, I barely got anything on my pinkie finger but I was able to fish out some stars for my middle finger. This is 2 coats of Stars In Space on all fingers in direct sunlight.
I normally choose a very dark color to layer this kind of polish over but I just wanted to mix it up. I think I would try this over a red next. This was taken in indirect sunlight.
Probably one of my favorite pictures of the bunch! I love how the light plays off the glitter - and this picture was taken in the shade! In fact, I ended up buying more JENsations last night!
This is the only picture (flash in doors) where it looked like the clear base wrinkled my Avireo manicure. I don't know if I smudged it or what but regardless, it still looks pretty awesome.
