I purchased this. Affiliate links.

Black & white nail polish has been big for quite awhile now & I’m just not getting sick of it. In fact, I just snagged another version (this one for a drug store price!) recently. I love that they are all a tad different & I reach for them a lot when I’ve worn a shade for a few days & want a change. Sephora X Special Effect Top Coat in Chaotic is just fantastic…check out the swatches for yourself!

Sephora X Chaotic- Large, medium, small, & extra small hex glitters along with short bar glitters in both black & white suspended in a clear base. Seen her over Flower Beauty Nail Polish in Good Bud-dy.

Sephora X Special Effect Top Coat in Chaotic is part of the Sephora X line (there’s all kinds of polishes, not just glitters!) & they popped up I believe last Nov/Dec? I’m honestly not sure because this was the only shade I was dying for & I have to drive out to Sephora to see things in person which I try to plan out. I believe these retail for $11.50 but I’ve heard they sometimes go on sale because they are a Sephora brand. I really do love this shade even though it costs a bit more. This has great flow & lays perfectly flat on the nail for me.

This isn’t a dupe for Lynnderella Connect the Dots but I did want to point out that I PREFER the Sephora version! Connect the Dots has a shimmering base which I don’t like as well as the clear one. There are also some varying sizes & no white bar glitters in Chaotic. Whatever. I mean…I can add shimmer if I feel the need right? Plus…definitely less stress & less money!

I am not a huge fan of the lid. This big lid & bottle size/shape is pretty much identical to the Covergirl polishes (which I’ve been asked to review by you guys so I’ll try to do that soonish!) & I’m just not a fan overall. They are a bit bulky & I prefer smaller lids for careful application.

Have you tried this shade? Are you a fan of polishes like this? What are some of your favorites?
