Above & Below: L'Oreal's Party Hop is shown using 2 coats. The finish on this shade is multi-faceted: part shimmer, part glitter, part foil. The glitter is very fine and holographic, although the holo was not captured in my photos. If you come across this one, you'll see the holo glitter more in real life.
Below: This shade also works nicely as a layering polish. It's shown here over China Glaze Rodeo Fanatic, a darker blue shimmer.
While perusing the aisles of Meijer looking for new drugstore polishes, I came across L'Oreal's Party Hop in their permanent display. I'm not sure how it is that I've never seen this one before, but the tiny holographic glitter caught my eye, not to mention the delicate shade of lavender that I thought was perfect for Spring. If you click on the link above to this polish on L'Oreal's website, it looks like an ordinary lavender creme. Their photo looks nothing like the real thing, because this is a fairly sheer lavender or light amethyst color with glass-flecked holographic glitter and a slight metallic or foil finish. I used 2 coats, and for a more opaque look I'd recommend 3, although I love how this polish looks alone or as a layering finish to a darker shade. It seems that sheer polishes don't bother me if they're glitters and shimmers, nearly as much as if they're cremes. I wish they'd come out with some new shades though--it's been a while, hasn't it?
