Gelish Trends – Let Me Top You Off & Rough Around the Edges

Who’s ready for some more Gelish Trends swatches? I have two for you today and will have a few more coming soon. This first one is called Let Me Top You Off. It’s a topper with red, blue and purple glitter. I applied two coats of this on each nail. My index and pink fingers don’t have a base color, the middle finger has a base of Artic Freeze, and the ring finger has Black Shadow. Initially I didn’t notice the purple glitter until I applied it over the black base, then the color really popped out at me. I didn’t think I would like this over black, but that ended up being my favorite of the three looks.  I think this would also look great over a dark purple or blue.  It’s very festive and fun!
