Something about glitter nail polish screams FUN and FUN has been calling my name. My original inspiration for this post comes from my girl Shanna Moakler (the former Mrs. Barker.) Please don't act like you didn't watch Meet the Barkers, and I won't act like I don't search for it on Hulu and Amazon on a monthly basis - withdrawals I tell you. Anyways, the former Miss USA tweeted a nail pic recently that got me itching for glitter.
While glitter may feel a little too "special occasion" for everyday use, this look is very wearable - and daytime appropriate, when done right. Here are some amazing glitter-flecked polishes you can wear anytime (special or not.)
Happy Birthday by Deborah Lippmann
Across the Universe
Some Enchanted Evening
Last Friday Night by Katy Perry for OPI
Just in case you ARE saving glitter for a special occasion, here are some more dramatic polishes to take your sparkle into evening.

Sephora by OPI in Traffic Stopper Copper
Topshop polish in Gypsy Night
So obviously, Deborah Lippmann has cornered the nail polish market - especially in the glitter department. The manicurist to the stars also has a big tip on the major downfall to sparkling polish - removing it. She recommends soaking cotton balls in remover, and applying one to each nail before wrapping each fingertip in foil. Let them soak for a few minutes, pull off the foil and, voila! Easy breezy glitter removal!
I'll leave you with the reality couple that will always remain number one in my heart...
