Review: China Glaze How About a Tumble!!

So I have something a little different to show you today.  I went to dinner last night with my friend Laura (who likes it when I talk about her, cos she then appropriates the entire post as being about her) and walking back, we came across a salon with $10 manicures.  Done!, says we.  I was just excited for someone else to do my nails, as well as to try a new polish, without having to buy it.  Inside, though, I couldn't believe my eyes; A POLISH FROM THE CHINA GLAZE KALEIDOSCOPE COLLECTION.  I'd heard about people finding the China Glaze holo polishes in out-of-the-way salons but never thought I'd actually find one. It it my great pleasure to show you How About a Tumble, an absolutely gorgeous lilac holo China Glaze polish!

It may have only been $10 but I think my (male!) manicurist did a good job.  After a nice cleanup and rub-down, he applied three coats of How About a Tumble.  It's a little sheer but you get decent coverage after three coats.  I just can't get over how gorgeous this polish is.  Not only have you got that beautiful scattered rainbow, but you get a nice soft lilac colour and a decent sparkle even in non-direct light.  It's also wearing really well too.  






The Verdict:  OMG, I love this so much.  You can bet your bum I bought this off the guy, even though it's used, and at $8, it's quite the bargain.  I love the soft colour and strong rainbow.  I can tell that this is going to get me hooked on dusty hunting though :(

The Polish:

  • China Glaze How About A Tumble, $8 (!!!), Koreatown nail salon, Toronto

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:
