Yesterday I reviewed a real gold glitter top coat, and today I'm going to show you their Real Silver top coat. This one is said to contain pure silver glitter, but I'm not sure how they are defining pure. I was probably the most excited for this polish out of the Holiday Collection that I picked up. I love silver as an accent color and most of my jewelry is silver. I can imagine it as a top coat to dark pinks, purples, blues, even some shades of green.
For this swatch I started out with the ever faithful Essie Licorice. One of these days I'll swatch it alone, but for now it has two coats of Real Silver layered over the top. For some reason this combination reminds me of stars, the tiny pinpricks of silvery white on a black background. It's SOOO pretty! I'm loving this top coat. It doesn't "sparkle" as much as some holographic glitter mixes, but it's truly silvery and gorgeous. I'm not sure how to describe it, so appreciate the photos below:

With all of the supernatural TV shows, books, and movies I can't help but imagine how a silver nail polish would go over with vampires around. Yet another novelty to this polish.

The Real Gold glitter is also reviewed by
Goose's Glitter (a fantastic review that I recommend checking out if you are considering buying Real Gold). When I inquired about her bottle of Real Silver she said that it was tarnished! I never imagined that problem with silver glitter, but I'm sure it could happen. My bottle looks fine but I'll be keeping my eye on it just in case.
