Review: OPI Incognito in Sausalito with Glitter Triangle Half Moons!

I get asked a lot about how often I do my nails. It's every day. Unless I'm sleeping. That means though that you guys don't get to see all the nails I do. I have to like how the photos came out, how well I cleaned up, etc for me to actually post it. So these nails were from a little while ago and I think they'll do for today. Let's take a look at OPI Incognito in Sausalito, shall we?

I'm obsessed with any blue polish, and that goes double for navies. Even though I have Essie After School Boy's Blazer which is exactly the same as the OPI, of course I had to have both. The drawback with the OPI is that it's that kind of blue that stains all around your nails. I was worried that it would stain my nails but the base coat seemed to hold it off. That's why the edges of my nails look blue. No matter how much I tried, clean up was a nightmare. So be careful, guys! Anyway, it's a gorgeous, shiny, navy when it is on your nails and worked really well with my glitter triangle half-moons. They look like pansies! This is pleasing to me. Usual technique for applying the glitter, just paint on your slow drying top coat and stick your glitter on. I found doing a line down the middle still works well here.

The Verdict: Love the colour of the polish, not a fan of the staining. I think I might have to stick with the Essie for now. At least it's sparkly!

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:

Pink Mega-Sparkly Nails!

It's hardly a secret how much I love sparklies. If it were at all practical, I would make my middle name Sparkly. Laura Sparkly Tucker. That does have a nice ring to it. Anyway, this adoration of all the sparklies means just about my favourite thing ever is dazzle glitter . It's like a bunch of tiny pieces of glitter were smushed together into a larger piece. And oh, so sparklies. I've done red and silver manis using this glitter before so that's the perfect excuse to use the pink. That makes sense, right?
