Review: Nails Inc Sprinkles Collection

I don't know about you all, but I should probably take a break from the glitter mosaics for a few days.  I'm going cross-eyed!  For a change, I'll be reviewing glitter polishes instead, which is surprisingly different.  I've been lusting after the Sprinkles Collection from Nails Inc for a while now so when I saw them in Sephora the other day I just couldn't help myself.  Rather than review them individually, a kind of Ombre mani it is!  Exclamation marks! The pink polish in this collection is a little too close to the Deborah Lippmann/Claire's Candy Shop polish so I skipped that one, getting Pudding Lane, Sweets Way and Sugar House Lane.  All three polishes are absolute glitter bombs in a creme base and all of them apply like a dream.  After the hassles with Butter London Knackered, these were so easy to use.  They were opaque in two coats (I used three, you know, cos) and absolutely packed with glitter.  Look how pretty they are!  ...

Review: Urban Outfitters Smush

I've been working on something rather special of late.  I'm nearly ready for the reveal and I'm excited for you to see it.  It's been so time-consuming, however, that I've been left with only enough time to throw together one mani, and a relatively simple one a that.  Said simple mani has to involve glitter though, as my project has been heavily glitter involved and that's as far as my brain gets.  As a hint, my project has so much glitter in it that my personal trainer was making fun of me for having so much glitter on my face.  There's glitter on the cat, on my bf, EVERYWHERE but omg, so sparkly. Anyway, on to the mani itself.  Base colour here is Urban Outfitters Smush, a lovely minty blue-green creme.  The colour's particularly hard to describe though.  The pictures do it justice, but it just doesn't appear properly on wikipedia's colour list.  It's one of those colours that looks great with pale skin tones so it works for me.  ...
