Review: OPI Last Friday Night from the Katy Perry Collection

I'm a little late getting on the Katy Perry OPI collection bandwagon.  I've only been into serious collection for a couple of months now and so missed out on a lot of great collections.  I've been making it my mission to catch up recently though, mostly through reasonable ebay auctions.  Today was a good shipment, with a package containing OPI Not Like the Movies and the beautiful Last Friday Night.  I'll be looking at the later first as it's so pretty I had to try it.

OPI Last Friday Night is a sheer blue polish, filled with small and medium opalescent glitter.  It kinda reminds me of a blue version of China Glaze Snow Globe.  Being so pretty in the bottle, I was torn with what to pair it with.  It would look great over black but I had to try to match the blue.  Turns out Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Pacific Blue is the perfect match for the bright blue!  Last Friday Night is very sheer on it's own, I'm glad I used it over another colour.  Application was decent although it did take three coats to get to this level of glitter. 








The Verdict: I LOVE this glitter.  Such a pretty, bold blue with so much opalescent glitter packed in there, it's just beautiful.  I'm especially happy with it as it will do for a substitute for the China Glaze Snow Globe I broke all over the floor >.<

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?
