People who like customizable sparkle rather than a flat colour — whether that's home manicurists layering it over an existing polish for a shimmer accent, or salon clients adding it as a glitter topper over a gel or lacquer base; it suits anyone wanting adjustable, playful sparkle rather than one fixed shade of purple.

Suga Cookie is worth having on hand specifically because it isn't a one-note colour — it's a layering tool that lets you turn a plain manicure into something more textured and personalized without committing to an entirely different, more dramatic glitter polish.

Apply one coat of a nail base coat after prepping the nail. Apply two thin coats of Suga Cookie — alone for a soft shimmer wash, or over a fully dried coat of another shade for a layered glitter effect — brushing polish along the free edge with each coat to help resist chipping. Finish with a top coat, capping the free edge.

Pros:

• Buildable and versatile — wear it sheer, build it up, or layer it over another colour
• Adds shimmer/glitter dimension without needing separate nail-art tools

Cons:

• Genuinely sheer by design — will not reach full opaque colour the way a crème shade does, even with several coats, so it's not a good choice if you want one shade of solid purple on its own
• Glitter finishes are generally harder to remove cleanly than crèmes and may need a foil-wrap or extra-soak acetone removal method
