Claire’s Stars–Lesson Learned!

A few weeks ago I was in Claire’s looking at the polish and came across this glitter polish with such lovely big stars mixed in.  Without even thinking I snatched it up and ran for the register.  I couldn’t wait to get home and try it!  My memory totally failed me that day because I had bought this kind of polish once before and couldn’t get the darned stars out of the bottle, so it’s been sitting in my cupboard ever since.  It wasn’t until I tried with this one that I remembered my previous experience.
I decided to try it over a dark polish I already had by Rimmel, which I LOVE.  It has a big fat brush and goes on so nicely.  Love love love!

After once again trying to just get the stars on the brush I gave up and started digging them out with a wooden stick.  I managed to fish out enough to do my ring finger on each hand and then was all like … oh screw it!
I think the stars are so pretty but I’m sure there is something ‘dry’ available out there that can just be picked up and stuck on the nail rather than going through the hassle of trying to fish it out of the bottle.
Is there a trick to this?  It absolutely does not come out on the brush, evil tricksters!  I’ll probably do it again sometime, maybe even with that old polish I bought before… or maybe not.  I’ve not decided yet.
