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 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
