Spotlight On: Mode Cosmetics #10643 Glitterati

Firstly, please read my post Introducing.... Mode Cosmetics Nail Enamel! if you have not done so already, as it contains general information about this brand of nail enamel.


Glitterati is part of the current Mode Cosmetics collection and is a shade of dark purple. This was yet another shade that my camera didn't like. It honed in on the blue within the polish and blocked out all trace of the red component. I'm sorry I couldn't get more accurate pictures for you! Anyway, it is a rather thin glitter polish with a purple base, and glitter that sometimes flashes red. I applied, two thick coats, but three thinner coats might be better! Even though it is thin, it is still easy to work with, and results in a rich, dark and fabulous colour!

Nail art: I used L.A. Colors Art Deco Nail Art Lacquer NA907 Green Glitter to create this look. Allow nail enamel to dry before applying stripper polish. It is very easy to create a look like this, simply paint a diagonal line across your nail and fill in one half! Once you are finished and the polish is semi-dried apply top coat. Be careful not to apply the top coat too early otherwise you will end up with unsightly streaks! I hope my description helped!


I will be listing a bottle of this shade on OZtion for any Australian ladies interested in owning one! I will also be offering it for trade on MakeupAlley in the near future for anyone, anywhere! For ladies outside of Australia who would like to buy a bottle, please email me and I will happily list one on eBay for you. I will also be selling the Art Deco Nail Art Lacquer colours used for anyone interested in replicating my nails! If you have tried these links and Glitterati or Green Glitter are not available on any of these sites, please email me, and I will endeavour to source them for you.

Spotlight On: Mode Cosmetics #10630 Arsonist

Firstly, please read my post Introducing.... Mode Cosmetics Nail Enamel! if you have not done so already, as it contains general information about this brand of nail enamel.


Arsonist is part of the current Mode Cosmetics collection and is an absolutely stunning shade of sangria. A little like Euro Trip, it doesn't look like much in the bottle, and I didn't have much of an expectation - but once it was on my nails I couldn't tear my eyes away from them! This shade reminds me of Dorothy's ruby slippers. It glitters and gleams so beautifully! And that's not even it! When the light catches this polish, a golden accent shines through and mingles with the red, which is the effect that gave this polish its perfect name! My photos just cannot hope to do justice to this stunner! Two coats were plenty to achieve a gloriously rich colour, and it was so easy to apply. I have to rate this shade as one of my favorites, and I'm sure it will be one of yours too!

Spotlight On: Mode Cosmetics #10611 Diamonte

Firstly, please read my post Introducing.... Mode Cosmetics Nail Enamel! if you have not done so already, as it contains general information about this brand of nail enamel.


Diamonte is part of the current Mode Cosmetics collection and is a clear lacquer with a crystal glitter. The glitter is quite dense and one coat worked well, but I preferred two coats, which is what I have swatched. The glitter is sparkly with a green-blue base. Very easy to work with, not at all thick and gluggy which is common in glitters. I highly recommend this one for those who enjoy bling!

Spotlight On: Mode Cosmetics #10320 Cerise

Firstly, please read my post Introducing.... Mode Cosmetics Nail Enamel! if you have not done so already, as it contains general information about this brand of nail enamel.


Cerise is part of the current Mode Cosmetics collection and is what I affectionately call slut red! (My Mother of all people taught me that lovely term... lol!) It is a deep cherry red with a subtle shimmer that commands attention! Two coats gives you rich pigmentation, and an absolute breeze to apply. One of my favorites for sure, and I promise it would be one of yours too!

Nail art: I used Color Club's Art Club Nail Art Lacquer to create this look. First layer is NA02 Black (also referred to as 05C002) and the second layer is NA18 Crystal Glitter (also referred to as 05C018.) Allow nail enamel to dry before applying stripper polish. Starting in the bottom corner, sweep first lacquer shade "diagonally" across nail, then follow with two further strokes on either side of the first. When dry, apply the second lacquer shade in the same fashion, taking care not to completely cover the first layer. I find this style works best when the second layer is a glitter, or a lighter shade than the first.
