The two kinds of glitter are different in size, because I wanted the polish to be REALLY glittery.

I dumped out 1/4 of the bottle and kept adding glitter until it was full. The bottle looks like this now.

In the end, I’ve decided to leave glitter polish crafting to the professionals. They do so much better than I do.
