I've been in the mood for a good red lately, so it seemed like a good day to show you OPI Gettin' Miss Piggy With It from the OPI Muppets. On the nail, it turned out far better than it sounds: it's a clear base with powdery-fine red glitter and red and silver hex glitter. The outcome looks like opaque stop sign red glitter nails with white glitter polka dots.
For the manicure, I used base coat, three coats of Gettin' Miss Piggy With It, and a coat of Addicted to Speed just because it was late. This morning, I felt around the edges of my nails for any pieces of stray hex glitter overhanging an edge, then just filed off the part over the edge and added a coat of Sally Hansen Salon top coat to seal it and smooth out the glitter. Without the second coat of top coat, it definitely would have been passably smooth and was far better than I'd anticipated, but I really like perfectly smooth. Once it dried, I took pictures in the sun.

There's no way to show you in a still picture just how reflective this glitter is, so I'll tell you. In low-ish indoor lighting, it completely glows, and I think even in office lighting this one would catch attention from across the room. It's really stunning, and I'd completely prepared myself for a disappointment since fine glitters often don't build up very well. With the first coat, I definitely didn't see the potential it had because the glitter looked sparse, the second coat looked almost like this, and I added the third to finish covering a few barer spots. Gettin' Miss Piggy With It is unequivocally a keeper for me, and it's really an exceptional red for the holidays.
I can chalk up another OPI Muppets success with Gettin' Miss Piggy With It, and that's all there is to tell you this morning. Until next time, Dear Reader, love and nail polish to you!
Edited to add a note on removal: I really can't overstate how tough this was to remove. 2.5 days without a chip or bit of wear translates into some tough polish. Felt and acetone took five minutes per nail for the first three, then I soaked it off for about ten minutes. However, removed bits of glitter were everywhere and required many hand washes. Still totally worth it to me, but be prepared.
