Review: Nerd Lacquer Event Horizon

I realised that when I got my previous two shipments of Nerd Lacquers, I never actually WORE them.  I swatched them and cos the glitter is a PITA to take off, I usually scraped it off before it dried out completely.  I now am bummed as I don't feel I can wear them now as you've already need them and I have million other polishes to try.  NOT THIS TIME, DAMMIT!  I am wearing these bastards so I'm afraid you might be seeing quite the few pictures of these in the next week or so.

I reviewed All of Time and Space the other day, now let's look at Event Horizon.  I'm not normally too into greens but this is so packed with glitter I couldn't resist.  Event Horizon on is the prettiest jelly I've seen in a long time.  When you add three layers like I did here, the silver, blue, green and holo glitter look like they're suspended in some fabulous pool.  It looks so deep you could practically dive in, it's awesome. 






 The Verdict:  I <3 Nerd Lacquers and I think that Event Horizon might just have taken the #1 spot for my favourite green.  It's so deep, sparkly and interesting, I love it.

      I spend a looooooooooooooooooooot of time on the webs. It started with Harlow and Co selling them and then I hunted down other places to buy them. That then led to me finding Lacquistry, Pretty and Polished, Dollish Polish (which I'm waiting for my first shipment of) and so on. They're usually different be with massive amounts of glitter or a unique colour so I try to hunt down as many as I can.

      I get sick of just having boring single colours so indie polishes are perfect for me :)

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:
