Review: Urban Outfitters Dust

It's tricky, trying to decide on nails to do when you're to attend a networking event.  I want to simultaneously get a conversation started about my nails without being too in-your-face, given it was a tech social.  Of course, neon and glitter was a sensible choice!
I've reviewed both of these polishes separately before but I love them both so here they are again.  First up, my absolute favourite neon orange, Claire's Flames.  It applies really well, only needing two coats while not being streaky.  Next, a coat of the densely glitter-packed Urban Outfitters Dust, a grey glitter in a mix of micro and medium hexes.  The glitter combination just makes the nails look really shiny, always a plus. 






The Verdict: Yay neon and glitter!  That's all I got, but all I need :)

The Polishes:

  • Claire's Flames, Claries
  • Urban Outfitters Dust, Urban Outfitters

    Looks a lot like Forever 21's Silver Sparkle nail polish.

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?
