It's my birthday! (ft. Serum No. 5 Happy Special Day)

It's my birthday today, and while I didn't have time to do nail art last night (unfortunately), I did have time to slap on a festive multicolored birthday glitter!

Enter Serum No. 5 Happy Special Day.


I layered one coat of this pretty glitter topper over OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons. You can see it's really quite dense!


For me, one of the most interesting parts of this polish is the abundance of the white-silver shimmery flecks in the base. I also love how much white glitter is included in this mix, too.



I did use the dabble method to apply this glitter and found it to be very effective.


It's a perfect festive topper, if you ask me!

Serum No. 5 is sold on Etsy. You can also check out the brand on Facebook and on Tumblr to stay up to date with all the latest Serum news. Happy Special Day is part of the Holiday Collection and is sold in 15ml and 6ml sizes. All Serum lacquers are 3-free.

Product sent for review.

    Happy Birthday!!! Hope you're having a great one! I love that you topped it over a nude base, seems to be matching the mani you did for your dog's birthday :D Very cute indeed!
