Since there are hardly any swatches of these lacquers online, I decided to go for a glitter. I find glitters to be a bit more versatile since you can layer them over different polishes and find a combo that suits your liking. And also, their glitter polishes have square glitters!!!!
Upon applying the Anna Sui polish, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it's rose scented! It lasted for a day after I applied topcoat, and it made me crave rose macarons and rose tea every time I got a whiff of my nails. In a way, I guess it's kind of weird to have your nails smelling like roses... but hey, it's a lot better than the typical smell of nail polish! (Unless you like how nail polish smells, then kudos to you.)
Urban Outfitters Barstool + Anna Sui 107
I decided to layer the glitter over Urban Outfitters Barstool--a dusty, light blue polish I've been wanting ever since I saw it on Stuff I (S)watched! I love the color, but I'm honestly disappointed because the formulations are quite different. My bottle is definitely a creme finish, whereas hers is a jelly. It's not a huge deal for me because I know I can get the jelly finish by adding clear coat to my bottle, but I just wanted to point it out so that you guys are aware of the possible reformulation.
Even though I loved how this combo turned out, I don't think it does the glitter justice because you can't pick up on the awesome iridescent glitter that's dancing in the bottle. I'm so gonna wear this glitter over a dark color next!

I love that color on you. I have Bar Stool, I didn't like it at first. I have seen this orange shimmery Anna Sui polish I like but I wonder if they're sold in stores, tired of paying shipping lol
Gorgeous polish and I love the bottle! :)
Oh, wow, this is beautiful! Love the glitter, and such a perfect combination!
Such a pretty polish!! I'm looking at the other polishes on the site too and it makes me want to get them all!
Oooh. I despise the smell (and flavor) of roses, but that is a gorgeous polish! Your nail beds are so long and pretty.
The bottle is so cute ! I like the combo though~
I love this bottle! I want it :(
So pretty! I'm in love with that bottle too. I'd want one just to display on my desk and stare at longingly... erm, what? Pretend I didn't just say that haha.
Barstool is really pretty nonetheless. I love the dusty quality to it. Can't wait to see 107 paired with a dark base! :)
I really like that bottle and the polish is pretty, too! I <3 nail polishes that don't smell like fakey fruit.
so pretty! I think what I like most is the bottle shape :p
Is it bad that I thought the base color looked familiar BEFORE I read the whole post?
Anyway, I am sorry your bottle of Barstool is a creme finish and not a jelly! Reformulations are the worst. :( I do think this looks lovely on you, though!
Gorgeous glitter, and that's so cool it smells of roses! =]
Even though the blue isn't what you expected it to be, its still a pretty awesome colour and looks stunning on your nails!
mmmmm.. you're square. :P
I'm going to Urban Outfitters now!
Wow!!! This nail color is so pretty. I super like the color for I find it classy and elegant. This is def perfect for any occasion or for everyday wear.
