Being a beauty blogger can be hard on the nails. I’m rarely without nail polish but sometimes get fed up changing it all the time. My nails get chipped a lot at work and as much as I love my Seche Vite for it’s quick drying amazingness, sometimes I’m just not bothered taking all my polish off and starting again. So what does one do on these occasions? One whips out one of one’s glitter nail polishes! On this occasion we are playing with Time for Romance. Time for Romance is another one of the stunning new Deborah Lippmann-esque nail polishes from Essence and is a piddley €1.29!

Time for Romance is packed full of multicoloured glitter, hexagonal glitter and teeny weeny glitter suspended in a sheer pink jelly base. I use two coats over a base polish but if you were using it alone, I’d go for three. So my original manicure was Butter London’s Perfect Prezzie and here it is on it’s own and then with two coats of Time for Romance over the top.

The multicoloured glitter isn’t too obvious which makes it office friendly (well, my office anyway) and I don’t feel like it’s too crazy for work.

Now, while I absolutely love glitter polishes *this much*, I also hate them *this much* when I go to take them off. Hate them. Curse them every single time. Scrub at my nails for ages. Then I forget. And put more on. Admire them. The cycle continues…. I am like a magpie and will always be drawn to them so someone out there needs to invent something that takes glitter nail polish off easily, any takers?
