I bought this polish in a mini-haul of Girly Bits polishes - all of which were glittery/holographic/duochome/anything but boring. I love the name - it's a little bit rude and a little bit descriptive, because this polish is a seeming mess of mismatching glitters of different sizes in a clear base. The glitter is dense - there's tons of it in there - and it's a real mix of predominantly blue shades, with copper, red, green, purple, silver and gold thrown in for good measure.
I've got many, many glitter polishes (I take an obscure pleasure in being in Very Serious Meetings at work with offensively sparkly nails) and very few of them apply as smoothly as this one. With mixed glitters like this, you can end up poking the glitter into place on the nail, but this polish needs no such special treatment - two coats later, it's a dense, evenly distributed affair with plenty of eyecatching sparkle. I've applied it over a black cream here to highlight the sparkle, but if you really wanted to you could layer this up to full opacity alone. Removal, unsurprisingly, is a pain in the arse, but totally worth it.
You'll find Sofa King Messy at Rainbow Connection, where it costs a reasonably spendy £9.60 - worth every penny, in my mind, because I've not seen anything similar before.

So much glitter now. So much tinfoil later. But very pretty.
