Review: Pretty & Polished Candy Coated

Onwards to review all the indie polishes!  I've got another from the haul I received last week to show you today, this time Candy Coated from Pretty & Polished.  Look at that, my shorted segue into actually talking about the polish yet!

Candy Coated is a pretty baby pink with a ton of purple and silver glitter smattered throughout.  As a side note, I'm really having to get creative lately with my use of adjectives.  There really is only so many ways to describe glitter in a polish :).  Anyway, application for this was really good, this is three coats as I'm not quite done growing out the terrible green stains on my nails.  The glitter distributed itself evenly which is always nice. 







The Verdict:  Looks like candy, as advertised.  Reminds me of those chocolate eggs you get at easter which makes this quite well timed.  Super girly, super cool.

    This color is beautiful! I wish I could get a hold of it. :( I was never one to really paint my nails, but thanks to your blog, I'm now obsessed and loving it!

    You know what? I'm so jealous if you it's insane.
    You have so many amazing indie polishes, but when I look on Etsy they're either on holiday or the shipping to the UK is horrendous :( I would love to find some UK indie nail polish sellers but I don't know any!

      :( I'm super jelly of people that live in the States. We in Canada get charged ridiculous shipping despite being so close to the border.

      Is there anything I can do to help? Want to do a swap? For example, I'm dyyyyying to try Fantasy Fire but hate to resort to ebay for such things.

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:
