Hello There:) This is China Glaze Marry a Millionaire. I am using this for my "V" in the Alphabet Challenge I am currently doing. I am thinking I cleaned out my collection a little too soon - I don't have a "v" polish so I'm stretching it on this one - "Violet" starts with a "v" and this has violet shimmer:) I also used a violet base - Ulta "Tutu Cute".

Trying to get a close-up of the bar glitter... |
I was obsessed with finding Marry a Millionaire after it was hard to find. I finally bought it on Ebay over 6 months ago and am now wearing it for the first time. Do you ever do that? I am thinking I have just been scared of the removal of it.
It has small lavender/violet glitter with fine string/bar glitter in gold and green. It's really unique and very pretty....but again, I'm scared to remove it:(
After using Ulta Tutu Cute as the base, I was reminded of OPI A Grape Fit. I pulled it out and sure enough, it's an exact dupe. I painted them on a nail wheel and the Ulta is a bit more opaque on the first coat - but after two coats, they are identical. Tutu Cute is still available in the new bottle type at Ulta.
I hope everyone is having a great week:)
...and later that night - I removed Marry a Millionaire using the tin foil method and it worked like a charm. I kept it on about 5 minutes and every single nail came off completely with one swipe. I'll be wearing this more now that I know I can take it off with ease.

I swear we're on the same wavelength... I almost posted my notd. As my V for violet, but I wanted to get my post up before work and didn't have time to explain the connection and get the inlink thingie up, so I guess I still have to come up with one, lol. Anyhoo, this is gorgeous. Glitter coated nails do have a certain over the top glam appeal, but I'm totally with you on being scared to remove it. ;p You should try the foil method and then post about your results! :D
ReplyDeleteYes, I will be doing the foil method for sure. We are two peas in a pod! :)
DeleteThis is so insanely amazing!!!! I have NEVER wanted this polish but oh my word this is so wonderfully gorgeous! You know...cause I needed a new lemming. LOL! I've never tried the tin foil method but I totally should.
ReplyDeleteI know how that goes - adding another lemming! Glad I could be of service:)
DeleteWe polish addicts must keep each other going, going, going ;)
Deletei keep forgetting i need this!!! thanks for the pretty reminder
ReplyDeleteLOL, my pleasure:)
DeleteOMG OMG OMG!! I love this manicure! That glitter is so beautiful!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAh, thanks so much!
DeleteI had the chance to buy this when it was released and I passed it up...ugh! Why??! It is gorgeous! And yeah, I totally do that. Obsess over needing a specific polish and once I have it just let it sit! Beautiful mani!
ReplyDeleteI know, I always do that. It's like you don't want it until you can't have it.
Deletehow gorgeous! i need to get my hands on that glitter!
ReplyDeleteLOL, yes you do:)
DeleteI LOVE that color! But since you've already said it's hard to find, I don't think I'll be hunting it. =(
ReplyDelete:) Maybe you'll stumble upon it sometime:)
DeleteThat color is gorgeous!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's blingy!
Deletehey, violet shimmer for the V name is great!! =) And I do this all the time... haunt for something and then just put it on my display rack only to try it months later... silly me =)
ReplyDeleteI love the glitter in this one!! bling bling!!
Yep, why in the heck does that happen??? LOL.
DeleteThis is soooo gorgeous. I don't know why I never got this one.
ReplyDeleteKeep your eyes open for it:)
DeleteWhat a pretty glitter polish! Yeah I'd be nervous about removing... glitter polish is such a pain!
ReplyDeleteIt ended up not being so bad with the tin foil method!
DeleteLove love love that glitter. And the tin foil method is a LIFESAVER!! I find that you can do it without the tin foil - just holding a cotton ball on your nail for a few minutes.
