Happy Pink Wednesday! Today I'm wearing a pink that's been on my wish list for awhile. I picked up Essie Super Bossa Nova during an Apothica haul. Super Bossa Nova is a bright fuchsia that is filled with purple shimmer. The formula was absolutely flawless. It was opaque in one coat, but I applied two hoping to see more of the shimmer on the nail.
I decided to jazz Super Bossa Nova up a little bit more by trying a reverse gradient. I first saw this look on my polish friend Enamel Girl and knew I needed to try it. I sponged Essence Special Effect Topper in Circus Confetti on the bottom 2/3 of each nail. Circus Confetti is packed with pink, red, gold, black, blue, green, and silver glitter. The glitter dispersed well and was easy to apply.
You can check out Apothica on facebook and polishes by Essie, Deborah Lippmann, SpaRitual and more can be purchased here.

Aww thanks for the award!
I also love the way it looks with the reverse gradient! Super Bossa Nova was picked up by me of course, being as I adore fuchsia and magenta shades...but after yrs of loving Pompeii Purple - then Flashbulb Fuchsia came out - the bar was set pretty high. I hate when something looks way better in the bottle then does not translate to the nail the with the same expectations the bottle left you with.
I totally agree. This one was a little bit of a let down after Jamaica Me Crazy.
