Lacquistry and Deborah Lippman Haul

I love Mondays for the simple fact that parcels tend to filter through the postal system over the weekends and land all together at my door. I got a super special couple of parcels today, one containing five Lacquistry polishes and one my ultimate lemming, Deborah Lippman Across the Universe. And let me say right up, I was not expecting Across the Universe to not be the best polish I got in the mail!

First up, here's the full set I got today. Keep reading for further description and MEGA CLOSE-UPS.

These polishes, funnily enough, are very clearly named! On the left is Winter No. 1 and on the right, Golf Socks. Winter is a predominated blue glitter with soooo many different sizes and shapes it's difficult to keep track. The big pieces are absolutely huge! My next post will talk about this one more, check back.

Lacquistry Winter No.1

Lacquistry Golf Socks! I love this one, such a good colour combo.

Next up, Lacquistry A Friggin' Circus and Lake Placid on Acid. Circus is the one that really stood out for me, I love a large glitter without the micro glitter mixed in.

Finally, Across the Universe is mine! I'm sad though as it's thoroughly outshined by the over the top glitters! Also pictured here is Shredded, a shredded black glitter. I'm excited to try this one!

Deborah Lippman, Across the Universe. Pretend you didn't just see the others and look how pretty!

Shredded, close up. This one's going to be interesting.

The Verdict: I can't wait to try out all these different glitters. I just wish Across the Universe had gotten here sooner! I've tried A Friggin' Circus and Winter No. 1, check back shortly for the full review.

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

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?

Overlaid Red, Black and White Gradient Nails!

Ever since I did this mani recently I've been wanting to do a better version. The colours seemed like they would work together but it just didn't turn out how I wanted. I wanted to try again and decided to learn from my original mistakes. For example, make sure you use a super opaque creme polish on your top layer, don't bother with horizontal stripes and using thicker lines looks cool too.
