This nail polish is *loaded* with "glitter" aka sparklies. I am delighted with it. Also goes on so nicely. And when you use it with a basecoat (ella+mila, of course), put 2 layers of Black Tie Affair on, and a top coat, there's no chipping no matter how much you use your hands (I should know) and the gleam lasts for well over a week. You might find that your nails are stronger. Mine certainly seem to be...
One word of caution, however: be prepared to take a *long* time getting the stuff off. I used the ella+mila lavender-scented soy nail polish remover, and it took me close to 45 minutes to get all the nail polish off. It was like the sparklies were fused onto my fingernails! Maybe stronger (smellier, toxic) nail polish remover would work better, I dunno, but I'm sticking with e+m's stuff.
