Ember Nails - China Glaze Lubu Heels and Barielle Elle's Spell

Before I started blogging, another of the polishes that really helped tip me over the edge in terms of being totally amazing was Barielle Elle's Spell. A flakie in a red jelly, it just seemed really interesting. I finally found it a little while ago in a Winner's and decided to see what it would look like over another interesting polish China Glaze Lubu Heels. They are both so awesome!

First up, let's look at Lubu Heels. This one's a black pigment with red glitter throughout. It applies really nicely - what you see here is two coats - and just looks dangerous on. Like a spider sitting on my nails. Win for the first one.

Next up, Elle's Spell. A red jelly with orange to red flakes, it also applies well. I added two coats on top and bam, EMBER NAILS. This one was just so sparkly, so multi-dimensional, very cool. Bit of a shame I ruined it before I could take proper pictures :(. This is still a great combination though :)

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 big...

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:

MOAR FLOWERS, NOW SPARKLY

Ok! So you may be feeling a sense of deja vu but WHO CARES SPARKLIES. I actually did this flower mani before the neon one - I held the the neon glitter under my blacklight and there was no way I could not immediately apply it to my nails. Running The Sparkly Shop just continues to have perks... And yes, I do have a blacklight bulb that handy. Anyway, this glitter is just as amazing as the neon, it's RIDICULOUSLY sparkly. Same thinness, nice and easy to work with. Let's take a look, shall we?
