Review: A Glitter-splosion with Sephora It's Bouquet with Me and Essie Jamaica Me Crazy

I reeaaallllllllly should stop buying nail polish.  I've only been at this a couple months but my Helmer is already nearly full! I'm going to have to start hiding polish around the place as I'd get in trrrouuuble if I bought another drawer set.  Shame it's really hard when the lovely lady at my beauty supply place (TBBS in Toronto, if you're in the city) keeps giving me deals and there keep being spring colours all over the place :(  On that note, let's look at two new polishes I picked up over the weekend, Essie Jamaica Me Crazy and Sephora by OPI It's Bouquet with Me!  Yay for looking at the pretty colours, not bank accounts!

It may seem like I'm doing this backwards but I wanted to talk about It's Bouquet with Me first.  Omg do I love this glitter.  Tiny holo, silver and pink glitter in a purple-tinted base, it's so sparkly it will almost blind you, but in a way that you'd be ok with cos it's not a bad last sight to see.  Sephora by OPI has done some marvellous glitters lately, especially with colour and holo mixtures, and this is no exception.  This is two coats to maximise the chance of blindness. 




I'd be remiss if I didn't show you Jamaica Me Crazy on it's own as it's so pretty by itself.  The polish is a shimmery magenta from Essie and such a bright colour, I love it.  Application was decent, the pictures below are two coats.  I don't have too many Essie polishes as I'm always attracted to the crazy glitters like a bower-bird but this one will do as it's very shimmery.  



The Verdict:  Both winners in my book, both in appearance, application and ridiculous names.  I do love the glitter slightly more, but that's just me and my patch of brain cells that appears to exist solely to go "ahhhhahsdfasdfasdf" at glitters.  It did that for the Sephora so yay!

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: JENsations Stars in Space and S'mores

Guess what everyone?  I'm going to review some indie polishes that you can actually buy without having to wait for email messages!  Yay!  And sparkly too!  Imagine all the holo glory as while my lightbox produces lovely even white light, it saps any and all rainbows from manis, leaving me to try to take pictures in my kitchen like a barbarian.  It may not sound that hard but when you use a manual focus 60mm macro lens that has a wafer-thin depth of field, it's not the easiest.  Anyway, let's take a look at two, that's right, two, beautiful polishes from JENsations , Stars in Space and S'mores. First up, Stars in Space.  I started with two coats of Zoya Caprice, a very bright purple creme that you'll be seeing a lot of as it makes for a great base.  Next, two coats of Stars in Space, the most fabulous mix of silver holo glitter.  There's stars, squares (man, I love square glitter), hexes and micro glitter.  I liked this one as there was enough glitter on

I'm a Proper Mermaid This Time Beeeeaches

Ermerger guys, I don't have any glitter on me!  Well, I do, just on my nails.  I always have glitter on me.  And cat fluff.  It's funny how often my bf comes home with glitter in his beard.  That means it's been there all day... Anyway, new nail vinyls mean something a bit different.  I swear I'm not actually obsessed with mermaids, it just seems like it... Anyway, again, shall we?
