New for Spring 2014 in Sephora stores: the Nails Inc. Garden Party Special Effects Collection! I was so excited when I found an empty display spot for these three polishes at my local Sephora. Unfortunately, they were not currently available online, so I had to be patient and wait for them to show up. Luckily when they did show up on the Sephora website I was able to see they were at the Sephora inside JCPenny store nearest me. On that note, I have found that this pattern is often true for new Nails Inc. products. They are first available at the Sephora inside JCPenny stores before the standalone Sephora stores (and sometimes even before being available online), so check there first when looking!

This collection consists of three multi-hued and multi-sized glitter toppers all in a clear base. The first I have to share is Westbourne Gardens. This polish is mostly pink, featuring small hexagonal glitter in metallic pink, matte pink, and matte white colors. Smaller white matte hexes are strewn throughout, along with micro matte pink hexagonal glitter. All of the pink glitter with the white glitter thrown in creates an overall soft pink hue making this glitter polish beautiful for any spring event!

Next up we'll look at Portobello Gardens. This mostly blue glitter topper features small hexagonal glitter in a cobalt metallic blue, a matte turquoise-blue, and a matte white interspersed with smaller matte white and matte light green hexagonal glitter. Filling up the rest of the clear base is micro turquoise-blue hexagonal-shaped glitter.

The white glitter mixed in with the bright blue glitters along with a touch of green make this the perfect winter-to-spring shade!

The last lacquer in this collection is Princes Gardens (which I either always want to add an apostrophe to or call "Princess Gardens").

This glitter is the most multi-hued of the three, featuring small metallic lilac/lavender, matte light blue, and matte light green hexagonal glitter. There is smaller matte white hexagonal glitter throughout, along with micro light green hexagonal glitter.

All three of these glitter polishes are now available on the Sephora website or in stores if you are in the United States. Retail price is $11US each. If you live in another country, have you seen this collection?
If you think you've heard of the Garden Party collection before, you have. About a year ago there was a four polish collection available on QVC's UK website that contained only one glitter polish called Grosvenor Gardens. These two collections don't seem to be connected except by name.
What do you think of this collection? If you want to see photos of what the display looks like so you can keep an eye out for it at your local Sephora, check out my pictures on Twitter or Instagram!
