Review: Deborah Lippmann Va Va Voom, LOOK AT THE SPARKLY

I'm trying really hard lately to not buy nail polish. Or at least buy less. It's hard because nail polish is my fun thing to buy, my luxury, even though I have ten times what the average person would consider an excessive collection. A lady at the beauty supply place joked about an intervention today! Like, shhhhhhhh this is my safe place. Anyway, I saw Deborah Lippmann Va Va Voom the other day and it was too sparkly and I bought it so there's that. LOOK AT IT.

I don't know what it is about the glitter jellies, I just can't resist them. I love how they build to have this incredibly complex, deep finish. Va Va Voom is no exception. It's several different sizes of hex holo glitter in a deep blue jelly base. Here I layered it over one coat of a similar blue creme polish but I don't think you need to do it, it builds up to be opaque enough on its own. I applied three coats here because I wanted more glitter but you could get away with one or two. THIS POLISH IS AWESOME AND I WANT MORE LIKE IT PLEASE.

The Verdict: This polish was totally worth breaking my I-shouldn't-buy-polish thing for. I can't resist glitter and this is sparkly and that is good, the end.

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
