I have gone through 2 bottles of fairy dust! Love this color glitter! Looks great over any colored polish..if I mess up my nail polish at all, I just paint a little fairy dust over it and it smooths it out! so awesome!

Fairy Dust is a must have for any nail polish enthusiast. I can't add much to what has already been said about this, it is truly magical. My fave combo so far has been this over OPI I'm Not Really a Waitress. Only downside, it eats thinner, I have to thin it every time I use it.

If you need to add just a little pizazz to any existing manicure, layer a coat of Fairy Dust on top! It's almost as if Tinkerbell herself waved her magical wand and transformed your manicure from drab to fab. The sheer holographic glitter is not overpowering but adds just an extra little oomph. I LOVE Fairy Dust because it looks good on top of EVERY color!

One of my favorite glitter polishes. It's subtle but something about that I just love.

This is a fantastic nail polish that is a staple product for all nail fanatics like myself. It looks great by itself and gives it that simple glam look. Over a black or dark polish, it looks SO BEAUTIFUL! It brightens the dark color without adding TOO MUCH sparkle. It also goes on really smoothly and the polish distributes very evenly. My only complaint is that it dries a little slower than I would have expected and it has this weird metally kind of smell. But overall, I would definitely repurchase. :3

What a beautiful way to jazz up your dark manicure. I have it on over Concrete Catwalk, and it's beautiful. Just a sprinkling of fine prismatic glitter. Looks sort of like the old OPI "My Private Jet". A great staple to have in your stash.

I love fairy dust! It's beautiful and glittery! It applies very smoothly onto your nails. My Fairy Dust is quite old, but it still does a beautiful job! As I saw somebody else say, it is similar to Wet N Wild's Kaleidoscope, but I prefer Fairy Dust by far! I'm a huge fan of China Glaze polishes, and I would definitely buy this again.

This is my favorite thing to add to any manicure, perfect tiny silvery holo glitter topcoat. Just amazingly pretty and great China Glaze formula. Love this. Staple. WetnWild Kaleidoscope is somewhat similar but not nearly as smooth and delicate, I have both because I'm nuts but if I had to choose it would be FD.

I'm torn between confessing if I'd shell out the money to purchase Fairy Dust again. While it delivers a subtle holographic sheen to polish, application and finish is a nightmare.

Are you familiar with how Seche Vite sort of gets gloppy when you reach the middle of the bottle? That's about how Fairy Dust becomes. It becomes more and more difficult to get just the right amount of polish on the brush to apply on the nail. Once it IS applied, it goes on extremely thick and clumpy, almost drying in the middle of application, which is hilarious seeing as how it takes an hour to fully dry even with a coat of Vite on top.

Although the shattered holo effect is nice over dark colors, the fussy drying time and gloppy formula just aren't worth it. Maybe with Seche Restore I'd have better luck, but I think if I get holo-crazy I'll just invest in something like Layla or Gosh.

I can't recommend Fairy Dust enough! One coat is a nice, subtle sparkle. Two coats leave a noticeable holographic effect. I use it to spice up a boring manicure or fix a less-than-perfect application. It does tend to thicken, but a few drops of nail polish thinner takes care of that. Love Fairy Dust!

Really one of the best holo glitter polishes I've come accross. The glitter is dense but very fine, so the effect is relatively subtle and the glitter catches the light beautifully. It layers so well with so many polishes (though I've only tried it over cremes).

I love Fairy Dust. It adds pizazz to any manicure, and you can never really go wrong with it over anything because it just adds such a beautiful holographic sparkle to everything. This is a definite must have for any nail polish lover.

Fairy Dust is a nice multi-colored finely grained glitter nail polish shade that is best applied over any other nail polish shade. It gives your nail polish a nice added pop of sparkles. Just lovely.

Fairy Dust is pretty pointless by itself, but layered over a number of colors, it adds something magical. It's a bright silvery-rainbow glitter top coat that doesn't go overboard on the glitter, but adds a little depth and enchantment to your typical mani. It can be a tricky one to apply, however. Applying a thin coat can be tricky, but if you lay it on too thick, it's too gloppy and takes forever to dry. And I mean FOREVER. As in, there's no way you're going to end up with a 100% flawless polish job because, rest assured, you're going to gouge it on something before it's totally dry. Anyway, I'm not nuts over a lot of the glitter-packed polishes, but this is a bit more subtle than average even though it's packed with sparklies, so I can get behind it. Good name, pretty effect. Give it quite a bit of time to dry.

This is one of my go to top costs for changing up a mani. The only thing I have to compare to it in my stash is Northern Lights Holo Top Coat. Fairy Dust is so much better. The glitter stays suspended so you don't have to shake it. It is subtle with 1 coat and in your face with 2. The formula is a bit thick, but nothing a couple drops of thinner won't fix. This is perfect to use if your polish bubbles or smudges and you don't feel like re doing it. As soon as I run out I'm buying another bottle.

This kind of holo glitter top coat is hard to find in my country , so I took a chance when someone I knew could get this for me. It's so beautiful, especially when layered over black, it looks like the galaxy! Only downside, it takes very long to dry. But otherwise it's good and unique, something that can never be found in the local market

LOVE this. I use it over all different colors for a little sparkle, which makes any nail polish look better :)
If my polish gets some bubbles or smudges I will add fairy dust over it and it makes the polish look better. I've gone through two bottles and just got another one.

I wanted something to add a subtle rainbow shine to my nails and Fairy Dust was just what I'm looking for! It comes in a clear base and the glitter is sparse enough that it won't change your base colour. I have two bottles of this at home and use it frequently! It looks great with anything, but I find it's just the thing to jazz up a creme polish.

A beautiful silver holographic glitter topcoat. This is so perfect for layering over absolutely everything! It just adds depth that can even be seen in artificial lighting. I always stare at my nails when I have this on.

That being said this polish is very thick, after being opened only 3 times I have had to add thinner, and every few uses I have to keep adding it so it doesn't become a big gloopy mess. It takes slightly longer to dry because of the thickness, but totally worth it.

I will buy again if I ever run out.

The formulation of this polish is just perfect - not too thick or too thin. I have found it versatile and flattering on various colors: black, blues, pinks... everything! The base is clear, and the micro holographic shimmers in multiple colors manage to look "fun" without looking juvenile or tacky. I highly doubt it's meant to be a stand alone polish, as that wouldn't translate well or in flattering way.


The only other sparkly top coat I have to compare this too is Claire's (simply named) Glitter Top Coat. And I prefer Fairy Dust by a landslide. The Claire's glitters are much more sparse, despite how it looks in the bottle, and are too large, looking a little to out there for me. This one has the perfect balance! See my above bottle comparison. I would repurchase and recommend absolutely!
