Products: Nails Inc. Bling It On in Emerald and Kensington Caviar Gel Effect Plumping Top Coat
Thoughts: What is really awesome out this glitter kit is that the tray your pour the glitter in has this nice little channel for pouring it back in the bottle. It also comes with a brush for getting the glitter off of your fingers (which, as you can see, I'm not the greatest at). I thought since I was already using a Nail Inc. product, I might as well try their top coat. This is supposed to "plump" your nails and make your regular polish look like gel polish. I'm not sure I really see any difference (top pic is without).

Thoughts: Love this look of blue foil on black polish, and it was SO easy to do! The magazine instructions have a third step of adding crystals, but I like this as is (plus none of my crystals looked right with it).

Products: Nail Rock Nail Glitter Kit in Glitter Dust Red
Thoughts:This nail kit was incredibly easy to use - just apply two coats of the polish, dip nail in glitter pot and let dry for 20 minutes. This is a lot of glitter - reminds me of Dorothy's ruby slippers - so I only did an accent nail like the Birchbox product info card mentioned. The polish was a little runnier than those I normally use, but it went on easy and two coats seems to do well. I did have to put an additional coat of topcoat on the glitter, though (not shown in picture). Not really sure if I was supposed to top coat the glitter, but we'll see if it makes it last longer.
