Review: The Hungry Asian Sneeze Breeze

For quite I while there I was able to stay away from etsy.  All the glitter, it's like crack to me and I need money to, you know, do adult things.  My resolve cracked the other day when I found out that the Hungry Asian finally ships to Canada.  I managed to restrain myself to the little bottles so five polishes only came to ~$25.  Hooray for more indie polishes to swatch!

I wanted to layer Sneeze Breeze over a matching blue as I wasn't sure how tinted the base was.  American Apparel Neon Blue was a good place to start so on went two coats, followed by two coats of Sneeze Breeze.  Coverage was good, said two coats are enough for opacity.  From the look of it, there isn't too much tint so I really want to try this over a different coloured base.  Soon!  The polish itself is made up of light blue and black matte glitters which I love.  It reminds me of a non-sparkly version of Pretty & Polished Beach Bum but you can never have enough of these types of glitters!  







The Verdict: Love matte glitter and love blues, so this perfect for me.

The Polishes:

  • The Hungry Asian Sneeze Breeze, mini size, $4.50, etsy
  • American Apparel Neon Blue, American Apparel.

    Want so hard. Etsy is hard because they're all American. It's probably better that they don't usually ship to Canada =P

      As a fellow Etsy seller, I have to say I don't know any sellers who don't sell to Canada. And contrary to popular belief, we're not all American. Etsy truly has International appeal, and I for one have never had any trouble whatsoever with buying from, or selling to anyone in a different country.

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 biggest tag on y

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:
