Review: Nicole by OPI Look at Me, Look at Me

Woo, new Nicole by OPI polishes!  Happening past Shoppers the other day, I was super excited to see new polishes!  They must have just put them out as they were release just a few days ago and happen to be Shoppers Drug Mart exclusives.  I was only really drawn to a silver/rainbow glitter called Look at Me, Look at Me.  From further away it could pass for just a silver foil/micro glitter but close up it has so many other colours.

First up, let's look at the application.  I'm actually wearing two coats of China Glaze Grape Pop under this polish but I'm not going to talk about that one as you can't even see it!  This is two coats and as you can see it's completely opaque in those coats.  Application was good, actually, with no dragging or bald spots.  It also dries nice and smooth which I love - I hate a rough texture.  




See all the other colours now?  On close up you can see that silver isn't even the main colour!  It's full of light blue glitters, along with reds and pinks.  I love polishes that change depending on how closely you look.





The Verdict:  I like this polish.  As it kinda just looks like a silver foil from far away, it loses a couple points but otherwise is nice and easy to work with.  I apologise though for reviewing a Shoppers exclusive!  If there's any interest, I might pick up a few that I might put on ebay with the "Buy it Now" option as I hate auctions :)

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:

Pink Mega-Sparkly Nails!

It's hardly a secret how much I love sparklies.  If it were at all practical, I would make my middle name Sparkly.  Laura Sparkly Tucker.  That does have a nice ring to it.  Anyway, this adoration of all the sparklies means just about my favourite thing ever is dazzle glitter .  It's like a bunch of tiny pieces of glitter were smushed together into a larger piece.  And oh, so sparklies.  I've done red and silver manis using this glitter before so that's the perfect excuse to use the pink.  That makes sense, right?
