I would consider Clowning Around somewhat of a cult nail polish. I’m fairly certain that Polish Me Silly were the first brand to release a collection of neon glitter toppers – at least they were the first ones I remember ever setting eyes on anyway. I’m so ecstatic to finally have my own bottle because it’s just as amazing in person as it looks on a screen!
Clowning Around has a clear base with a selection of neon glitter packed in. It’s recommended that you wear it over white or another light colour as the glitter is not 100% opaque so a light base colour will show it at its full vibrance. Experimenting with others is always fun but I haven’t found a better base then white just yet.
For this swatch I used two coats of Clowning Around over Barry M Coconut (a very slightly off-white). with a top coat of Glisten & Glow HK Girl. I’d recommend a good amount of drying time between layers of Clowning Around so the glitter has a good chance to stick to your nail before you sweep on the next dose.
If you like very interesting and ‘out-there’ polishes, this is a great one for your collection. It’s different without treading in to novelty territory and is a genuinely unique nail polish.
