Holographic Silver Polka Dots!

I do so very much enjoy a good mail package, as I've sighed over on multiple occasions. Particularly excited was I when I received a new, surprisingly large pot of holo silver glitter in the mail from ebay. It's quite a small glitter and I was so sorely tempted to do full Mermaid Nails with it but alas, alack, it is hard to fine the probable two hours that full coverage with glitter this small would take. I had to use it, so time for glitter polka dots instead!

To start with, I added two coats of Revlon Midnight Affair, a lovely deep blue. Application was really nice on this one, you could easily stay with two coats. Then, following the steps here but spacing the glitter out more, I covered each of my nails with the holo silver glitter. THIS IS SO SPARKLY I DON'T EVEN KNOW....THINGS....SPARKLYYYYYYYYY. The elevator at work has lovely down lights and everyone looked at me funny today as I couldn't stop waving my hands around under the lights. It seriously looks like I have LEDs on my nails, it's that spangly.

Gratuitous blurred shot. Imagine this but at least twice as sparkly.

The Verdict: Revlon Midnight Affair is a really nice deep navy blue, if it's possible you don't have something like this already. The glitter on the other hand, OMG SO SPARKLY I AM ACTUALLY LEAVING IT ON FOR MORE THAN 24 HOURS WHICH NEVER EVER HAPPENS :D

Review: Nicole by OPI A Million Sparkles is Accurately Named

It's amazing what you can find when you wander around at night. My favourite time to go shopping is ridiculously late and I'm extra happy when it pays off. I've been looking for Nicole by OPI A Million Sparkles for a while now at that couldn't be more up my alley if it tried. I finally managed to find it in a Shoppers last night and it really does live up to its name. A Million Sparkles is a predominately blue glitter that has an amazing ability to look like a foil after a couple of coats. Combine that with gold, silver and pink bar glitter and you have a winner. It's seriously so sparkly I got distracted from what I was saying at lunch today. Application is decent but you really need four coats to get completely opaque coverage. That's ok, glitter dries fast. It's a little rough too but nothing Seche Vite can't fix. The Verdict: Yay glitter! If, like me, you like sparklies to the point where it's the big...

Review: Sephora X Outburst

As you can imagine, I was pretty excited when the new Sephora X polishes came out. Not only were there a million of them, but I could go see them in person, circling the huge stand and singling out my prey. I'm not the most happy that the good ones are FIFTEEN dollars each but what am I going to do, not buy any?? That's silly. I have few now but my favourite so far as to be the incredibly Outburst. LOOK AT IT:

All the ILNP Ultrachromes! Like Shiny Beetles!

Guess what guys, it's not glitter today! Instead, I have the incredibly amazing ILNP Ultrachrome polishes to show you! I saw a picture of these on the ILNP site and gasped out loud when I saw the colour shift. I totally didn't sit for an hour at work, refreshing the page when the preorders went up. That would be silly. I was so excited when they arrived as they looked as amazing in the bottle as they did on the site. I swatched each polish over black, took the photos, but no matter what I tried, I couldn't get the finish to a place where I was satisfied. I'm sure it's something about the way I was applying it, but there would be little bumps or inconsistencies in the finish and it was annoying. So I didn't post them. I gave them another shot in a taped mani and YES THIS IS BETTER LOOK:

Polish All the Nails
