Minnie Mouse Nails with OPI Over and Over A-Gwen (groan)

OMG LOOK GUYS I'M ACTUALLY DOING A BLOG POST AND IT HASN'T BEEN A MILLION years since the last one! It's almost like I can organise myself to be able to go to work, sleep AND blog! Yeah so I'm gradually working out a routine with working. I did make the mistake of talking big about how I never have the same days two days in a row. When I accidently wear the same nails THREE days in a row because I kept falling asleep on the couch, imagine the ribbing I got from my delightful co-worker Krista. Thanks Krista. Really appreciate it. They're good nails! I was sleepy! Whatever. I made them better yesterday by sticking jingly charms on them. You're going to want to see the video at the end of this post. I'm quite proud of how professional my videography is. Anyway, MINNIE MOUSE NAILS YAYYYY

First up, we need to talk about how amazing a red OPI Over and Over A-Gwen is, despite my having trouble typing the name cos of eye-rolling. It's just the best, shiniest red ever. Even though you will about a million cotton pads to get it off. Cos it looks like you murdered someone. Anyway, it's a great polish and it looks even greater when you stick white matte glitter on it! Who doesn't want to be Minnie Mouse for a day? Or three. OK I GET IT KRISTA GOD, even though she didn't say anything about it today. Yeah, usual technique, cheap top coat then do your centre column, then fill in the sides. Yesss.

The Verdict: Love the polish, love the glitter, extra super love the charms I added later on, even though my bf HATES them with the fire of a thousand suns. He actually got really angry at me cos I wouldn't stop jangling them at him. I don't think that's fair. Anyway, yay matte sparklies!

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
