NOTD: Formula X for Sephora 'Out of Sight'

L: 'Essie' After School Boy Blazer; R: Formula X 'Brazen'

Today's nail of the day is an effects top coat by Formula X for Sephora. It is a gold fleck top coat named 'Out of Sight,' and it is seriously AWESOME! This polish has a ton of different sized gold flakes suspended in clear polish. The flakes range from being small specked glitter size to being as big as you see on my nails in the picture above.

As with most glitter nail polishes, you do not have much control over where on your nails the glitter falls. You can try different methods to make sure it gets distributed evenly but you can run the risk of making the polish too thick and susceptible to chipping or peeling. I put two thin coats of the polish over two coats of whatever polish I think would pair well with gold and this top coat makes my mani last forever!  I did try this top coat just at the tips of my manicure once but it made the ends of my nails thicker and easily chipped off within a day.

Also to note is that since these flakes are not all uniformly shaped, sometimes they don't lay perfectly flat on your nails and can leave little bumps or rough parts. As long as you're okay with that and you won't incessantly pick at it, then this polish is a good choice for you if you're looking for a unique and fun top coat.

Formula X for Sephora polishes are $10.50 each at Sephora. Check them out HERE!
