I have started to add a top coat to my manicure on the 7th day that I wear it, just before I take it off the next day to do a new manicure. I do my nails on Sundays, so the 7th day is Saturday, and because it is not a work day for me, I don't have to worry about whether the top coat is work-appropriate or not. So, after wearing Hits Speciallita No Olympo Ares, a red holo, I tried Amy's Nail Boutique's Liberty as an accent nail on each ring finger. Liberty has red, white and blue matte bar and hex glitter, and it has matte stars, too. I was trying it out to see if I would like the look for July 4th. I had wanted Nostalgic Lacquer's Pride, but that was limited edition and is not sold anymore. Liberty has satisfied my desire for a patriotic top coat, though.
Here are some pictures:

| I wanted to show how thick this many layers of polish gets. I had base coat, one thin and one thick coat of Ares, six layers of top coat (I add one each day), one coat of Liberty, a coat of Gelous, and a coat or two of Seche Vite. |
 |
| You can see that the glitter lies pretty flat and smooth. |
