Ice Cream Sprinkle Nails

One of the biggest trends in nails at the moment seems to be sprinkle, polishes packed full of either sparkly or matte particles. I've accumulated quite a few in my collection so far, but by far the most quirky has to be this one from Etude House.



Strawberry Stars Candy is one of a number of polished they do in ice cream shaped bottles so cute and a must for any nail polish collector. It's a proper baby, strawberry ice cream milky pink filled with different shapes and colours of glitter. It took about 3 coats for full coverage but to be honest I think that ruins the sprinkles effect, so maybe what I'll do next time is to layer it over a plain pale pink polish to see the sparkles in their full glory.



I took these pics a few weeks ago when my nails and cuticles were not at their best, so please try not to let that cloud your judgement. This is a really pretty polish that probably needs a bit more work than I initially though but it's still a cute addition to my extensive nail polish collection. I picked up this polish from ebay for a pretty bargainous £3.29 including postage, if your interested in picking one up though I'd get moving pretty fast as there doesn't seem to be that many on the site any more x Do you like sprinkle polishes? and do you have any recommendations? let me know in the comments x

  1. As much as it is pretty, i don't like polishes like these. I'm a fidgety person so i'm always fidgeting, because its lumpy, as in the glitter sticks out, i stick to pick at it and then it just looks awful! and i have to remove the whole nail polish. If i do come across a sparkle polish that i MUST have, i use a UV gel topcoat on it, and cure it until its smooth.
