Hello! This weekend I did a Valentines Day manicure with a new polish, In the Whole Wide WOrld by Whimsical Ideas by Pam. It is a lovely delicate glitter with pale pink hearts, light green hexes, and a light smattering of fine blue and pink glitter. This is my first polish with heart glitter, but if I can help it it won’t be my last. I have my eye on A 51st Century Guy by Lucky 13 Lacquer, but I haven’t decided if it is because I adore Captain Jack Harkness or because I actually need more heart glitter in my life, so first I need to get some mileage out of this polish.

I ended up putting this polish over Zoya Evvie with a subtle Zoya Noot accent nail on the ring finger. My camera had a difficult time focusing on the glitter and the shiny topcoat, so I apologize for the fuzzy picture. The formula on In the Whole Wide World is good, but I am not sure if it is 3-free. I could not find anything on Pam’s Facebook page to confirm the ingredients of the polish. It is smellier than most of my other polishes, with a rubber cement-like scent. The glitter is well suspended in the base and I had no trouble getting hearts onto my brush. I did notice some shrinkage of my Zoya base polish under this topper. I just filed away the uncovered nail tips with my crystal nail file, so it is less obvious in the picture here than it was after the manicure dried. It could also have been a bit of tip wear from doing things before it was fully dried, but I am not sure.

To make up for the less-than-stellar picture of my nails, I offer you my swatch wheel with samples of this glitter over many other colors!

From top, counterclockwise: Zoya Noot, China Glaze Elephant Walk, Zoya Bevin, Zoya Kristen, Zoya Dove, Zoya Avery, NARS Orgasm, Revlon Top Speed Peachy, Zoya Caitlin, Sephora Break A Legwarmer, Zoya Evvie.

My favorites were Noot, Elephant Walk, Caitlin, Break A Legwarmer, and Evvie. I feel as though the glitter was lost against the lighter colors, especially the pinks.
