This week we test: shimmer nail polish

Jocelyn Wong

For a subtle effect on fingers and toes, try a lightly glittery polish that works day or night.

Coffret D'or Jewelight (HK$70/8ml)

If you are going for a girly look, this is a great option. It spreads on smoothly, blends beautifully and lasts for quite a long time. A single layer is enough to give you glittery talons.

Anna Sui Nail Polish (HK$125/10ml)

A piece of cake to apply, put on three of four coats if you want to make this really noticeable. Quick-drying and lasts for days.

Nars (HK$160/ 15ml)

A great choice if you're on the go as it dries really quickly and does not smudge easily. But it's very sheer, and you need at least three coats to see the colour.

RMK Shiny Clear (HK$120/12ml)

A subtle, sheer polish that's perfect if you don't like showy nails - just apply one coat. Or build up the layers to create a discoball effect. Dries quickly, but chips fairly easily.

OPI DS Glow (HK$210/15ml)

Requires several coats to produce a solid colour. But in good lighting, there is a brilliant shimmer effect, making it a perfect dramatic statement for a night out. Pricy, though.
