Bourjois Laser Toppings Nail Polish Review & Swatches

�Top Coat� nail polishes have been super popular recently with lots of brands bringing out different formulations (such as confetti, glitter & opal top coats) to switch up your usual plain nail style.  The most recent is by Bourjois with their new Laser Toppings, to add a bit of sparkle and glitter to everyday nails.

Very sorry for this picture heavy post � I just think they are too beautiful not to photograph!

The Laser Toppings include tiny little shiny, metallic strips in a clear base which remind me a little of the Nails Inc Feather collection.  These can be used alone & built up to create a full-on opaque glitter nail, but as you can see above these toppings really stand out and come alive when paired with a base coat of the same shade.  The Beige & Sun Scale combination is my current favourite for an everyday nail art look.  I recommend these if you�re looking to jazz up basic blocks of colour on the nails with something a little more interesting than just plain glitter.

These are available now for �5.99 each in your local Boots & Superdrug stores.

Will you be purchasing these babies?  What�s your favourite current nail top-coat?
