Mattése Elite - Nutty Hat Guy

Soooooooooooooooooooooo I always wanted OPI's Mad As A Hatter, but there was no chance I was going to pay $50+ more for it.  So when I found Mattese Elite's answer to it I was pretty happy.  While it's in no way an exact dupe it filled a void.  Then I put it on...

Nutty Hat guy is first off glitter in a clear base.  It contains silver, light purple (almost silver), red and green glitter.  Now application depending on the finger was between 2-4 coats.  The formula was finicky at best.  It was like trying to spread drying glue a points.  It dragged like woah and congregated at the tips of my fingers. I actually had apply it twice before I took the photos. And removal was a nightmare.  It was literally a nightmare.  But instead of being covered in blood and guts I was was covered in glitter.  Which it turn was a pain to get off my skin.  I don't know if you understand how annoying it was to try and get rid of it.

It was also a flashy nightmare on the camera. I would maybe use this for an accent nail.  But I would not put myself through the pain and torture of trying to apply this as a full manicure. And I doubt I would buy it again. If Mad As A Hatter is something you REALLY feel the need to have but you don't want to shell out $$$, get this.  But if it's not something you really need, you're not missing out on anything special.

Glitter EVERYWHERE!!!
