NOTD: It's a Hard Knock Life with Justa' Pinch of Glitter

Well, dang if that couldn't have been a great song title.  Because sometimes it is a hard knock life and you need just a pinch of glitter.  Which I have this week.  My hard knock life is represented by my hangnails, which seem to sprout back as soon as I clip them.  Obviously, my life's not Hunger Games hard knocks or anything like that :-)
I received Deborah Lippman's Hard Knock Life in a Barney's gift bag, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit disappointed at my luck of the draw in color.  It's a very nice polish, but the color is not that original.  However, I really like it with a matte topcoat (I used Julep's), as it gives an industrial/modern vibe.
The now discontinued Justa' Pinch of Glitter by Sephora by Opi is a great compliment glitter with it's clear base and black, grey, silver microglitter/medium round silver glitter.  I'm glad I picked it up when all the Sephora by OPI polishes were on clearance.

    Those do look really good together. I miss the Sephora by OPI polishes. I had some that I really liked & they aren't looking to good now.

      Sephora by OPI has several of my favorites, without a doubt. I haven't tried any of the polishes that replaced them yet.

    I like the way you described it as having an "industrial" vibe - makes me want to throw some matte top coat on some grey polish myself!!

      I like matte top coat to make something common a bit more different. Plus, it dries super fast :-)

      Thank you! I seem to gravitate towards grays in the winter.

    LOVING this as a matte. Like, a loooooooot. And obviously, I'm all about a pinch of glitter (or a whole bucket, whatever, ha!).

    And hangnails. Ugh. I have problems with them too. So annoying!

      You are so expressive/articulate, I just love it :-)
