I added top coat to the glitters (#13 to #20) but left the others topless. #4 turned out to be a neon, and thus dried matte, which didn't surprise me too much given how bright it is in the bottle. I didn't expect so many of the others to dry satin, though; #7 through #10 and #12 all did. #18 and #20 dried matte as well, and those base colors seemed to obscure the glitter a great deal even after I added the top coat.
I was happy to see that the two red holo glitters (#14 and #15) are different, as I had at first thought but then pretty much talked myself out of. #15 has the transluscent red base like #14 but most of its glitter is the same as #16, the red in a clear base that I swatched the other day. That the blue glitter (#17) was so opaque surprised me; I thought it would go on like the red one.
I know I've posted the bottles before, but I took new pics so I'd have them in the order that I swatched them on this wheel.

Alert readers will notice that this is only about half of the snowman army; I bet you can guess what next week's installment of Nail Wheel Wednesday will feature.
