Glitter Gal Dark Purple Review

Glitter Gal Dark Purple Review

If you saw my Black Friday Nail Polish Direct haul a few weeks ago you would have seen that I splurged on a few new holographic polishes. That down to me re-discovering this little bottle in my collection about a month ago and my obsession with holographic nails was reborn! I was in love with this polish when I bought it 4 or 5 years ago and it’s worthy of a throwback post! So here today we have a Glitter Gal Dark Purple Review.

I don’t know much about the brand Glitter Gal- other than it’s an Australian brand, but I do know that this in terms of the size of the bottle was the most expensive Nail Polish that I’ve bought. I think it cost me in the region of £25 with delivery which considering its only 9ml (OPI 15ml) it’s quite pricey! Creatively Glitter Gal names this shade Dark Purple, but personally, I don’t think it’s all that dark at all!

I think of this holo as a bright purple shade with an underlying pinky hue that makes the shade very girly, and unlike any other purple holo that I have. The holo inside it is non-linear so it almost sparkles like glitter rather than a solid shine that moves and shifts in a line. This applies very nicely and is featured here with a top coat, which doesn’t diminish or affect the holo look as some times topcoats can.

This applies nicely and glides on the nail with not a lot of effort at all. It is almost opaque in one coat, but just needs a second to increase the opacity and brightness of the colour. In terms of wear time, it’s not bad, but it’s not brilliant – wearing for about 3-4 days before needing to be repainted.

Since wearing the Glitter Gal Dark Purple Review and receiving the new colours from NPD I’ve not worn anything but holos and the trend from about 5 years ago is back on my nails for now!


Have you tried any polishes from Glitter Gal? Are you a holo lover?
