I didn't want to take off my Teal with It nail polish strips (
reviewed here), even though I had messed them up by using Orly Smudge Fixer on them.  They still looked pretty from far away.  So, I topped the strips with SoFlaJo's Blue Martini, a glitter top coat that I reviewed 
here.  Definitely click through to see how pretty it looks over a black creme.  I love the shimmer in it, and I love the holo and the blue glitter and the diamond glitter!  There is short bar glitter in Blue Martini, and although I usually don't like large bar glitter, I did like the short bar glitter in Blue Martini.
The Teal with It strips had quite a bit of wear before I topped them with Blue Martini, so you'll see lots of wear in the pictures, especially where I may have tried to clean up around my cuticles only to remove the polish from Teal with It which then seemed to reveal sticker backing.  In the pictures below, I added a coat of Gelous and then a coat of Seche Vite, and the mani was very smooth, and you couldn't feel the glitter.  The strips lasted the full week that I usually take to redo my manis.

Sunlight. 
You can see the shimmer from Teal with It combined with the very similar colored shimmer from Blue Martini. |
