Next from the Femme de Cirque collection is Step Right Up! a creme nude. I did find this polish to be a bit on the thick side. I used a base coat of OPI Natural Nail, 3 coats of Step Right Up! and no top coat.
Not bad, right? It has a hint on pink to it along with the white.
I really like it in the shade - very nice neutral there.
And here it is with I Juggle... Men.
Quite hard to see but it's there - promise. It would be great for that hidden pop of glitter.
OPI is available at Professional Salons, including Beauty Brands, Beauty First, Chatters, Dillard’s, JCPenney, Pure Beauty, Regis, Trade Secret, and Ulta, for $8.50 ($10.95 CAN) suggested retail for each Nail Lacquer. Please visit their website for details [official website].

OPI I Juggle...Men vs SpaRitual Shower The Peopl
So when I saw OPI I Juggle...Men, I immediately thought of SpaRitual Shower The People, since they are both clear bases with purple microglitter. Could I have been anymore wrong?
I used a base of Seche Natural and 2 coats for my bare nails and a coat of CND Blackjack for my other nails.
I Juggle...Men is more of a blue/purple base with lighter particles where Shower the People is strictly purple. It's super hard to tell in pictures, but you can tell the difference in person, promise.

OPI I Juggle... Men
3.27.2011
From the Femme De Cirque collection, here is I Juggle...Men, an iridescent glitter coat suspended in a clear base. It's super hard to tell from the bottle, but it's a red/purple/blueish microglitter that is almost like a flakey wannabe... Yeah.
I tried putting 3 coats over OPI Natural Nail but it's kind of a fail on the bare nail, so I layered it over one coat of CND Blackjack (I've already gone through half a bottle of that stuff!). Much better.
See what I mean?
Yeah. I've also layered it over all the other polishes in this collection but I'll post those when I review those. Fun stuff. ^_^ The formula was great considering it's just a glitter coat.

China Glaze Lightning Bolt
3.26.2011
This was from the "what is going on with my camera" day as you can tell... my camera looks like it's GLOWING! From the "Crackle Glaze" set, this is the white - Lightning Bolt. Now, I've only used it over a creme - OPI's "Don't Mess with OPI" which I wore for St. Patrick's Day. I've read that people have had their white turn yellow on them but maybe it's something to do with making sure your base coat is super dry? That's why I put that layer of Seche Vite on top.
Picture time!

Here's a detailed picture of the thumb.
