Nail Polish Magic: Different Finishes Explained
Alright, Babbs, whether you’re feeling a jelly vibe or craving a clean crème look, there’s a polish for that. But hold up—what's the tea on the different types of polishes and toppers? Buckle up, because we’re diving in now!
Toppers: The Dazzling Overachievers
Toppers are like the glittery cherry on top of your nail game. Made in a clear base, they’re packed with shimmers, glitters, or flakies—sometimes all three! They add a unique touch to any polish. The best part? You can layer these babies over any color for instant glam. Or get fancy and pair them with a jelly polish for a layered look that’s all kinds of extra.

Shimmers: Subtle and Sassy
Shimmer polishes are the low-key divas of the nail world. Made with mica glitters, they give you that glossy, almost-hidden sparkle. Perfect for when you want to shine without stealing the whole show.

Glitters: Pizzaz or Go Home
When you need your nails to be the life of the party, glitter is your go-to. Bigger than shimmer but smaller than flakes, glitter polishes make your nails glint, shine, and sparkle. They’re available in every color under the sun and can be worn sheer or mixed with colors.

Crelly: The Best of Both Worlds
Crelly polishes are like jellies but with more pigment and a crème finish. They can be sheer or opaque and often come with glitter or flakes for that extra pop. Ideal for special occasions or to just be super unique.

Crème: Classic and Chic
Crème polishes are the OGs of the nail world. No shimmer, no glitter, just pure color. They offer full coverage in 1-2 coats and can be layered with toppers for that nail art in a bottle, easy look.

Holographic: For the Reflective Queens
Holographic polishes are the magicians of the nail world. Linear holos reflect color in a smooth stream, while scattered holos give you a sporadic, rainbow effect.

Matte: Understated Elegance
Matte polishes are for those days when you want to keep it subtle yet stylish. They have no shine and offer a smooth, flat finish. We love using a matte top coat to give any polish a chic matte look.
