I have been pretty much obsessed with this polish since it found its way into my claws (and onto my toes!) on Christmas eve. It's a pigmented coppery shade packed with small silver glitter and larger round pieces of holographic glitter. It applies beautifully, and looks better! China Glaze's Ginger sparkles so much that my toenails were shimmering through black tights over the holidays!

And now, as you can see, it's made its way up in the world - to my fingers. I can't stop staring at this polish. I could see this used in a single coat for a quick lick of colour, and having no problems with that. I've used two for more intensity. Another thing to note is that the lower the lighting, the deeper and richer the shade of copper seems. This has very quickly become my favourite copper polish. Hurray!

Tsk tsk, these guys missed the bus so they're a bit late to the party. Hopefully this is the end of them! I mean, I don't think I've missed any of what I have. Hmm. Right! So here, to finish out the pigment party, are three more pigments and one glitter.

Oooh, more glitter!? HELL YES. I've been all over the glitters for my nails lately, and this one is another goody. A dark navy with, again, multi-coloured glitter in different shapes and sizes? Dudes, what's not to love! Come to think of it, I need to try layering this over Illamasqua Phallic, one of my favourite polishes. Mmmm.

Oh, I'm sorry, am I teasing you? You don't just want to see the bottle? Well, alright -

Now, let me start by saying that I am totally not a pretty-in-pink kind of girl. I much prefer dark and dramatic. That being said: this polish is so pretty! It's so... cheerful looking. The different colours and shapes of glitter make it shimmer happily in any lighting. Unfortunately, I do it no justice in this picture since it's in artificial light - I'd need some of that sunlight stuff I haven't seen in eons to really show it off, I believe. This is three coats with base and top coat. I normally prefer polishes that are opaque in two coats, but in this case I love the hint of sheerness as it makes it absolutely wonderful layering (as I demonstrated in my NYE manicure!). With the three coats here, I have a hint of visible nail line, but nothing obnoxious. This is certainly quite wearable like this! Also worth noting is that the NYE manicure came off easily - no fighting forever with the glitter, huzzah! I have yet to determine how hard it is to remove when it is used as the sole colour. I'll have to report back with that when I switch it up to something else. So, what do you think?

Glitter! I know this is considered more of a thing of the holidays which we're pretty much past now, but that won't stop me! Glitter is a year-round thing, if it's the sort of thing that makes you happy. And the best part? Where this was a holiday thinger, you might be able to find it on clearance now! WIN!

Hey all! Here are some product photos I shot of the MAC glitters I have. In case you couldn't guess, I heavily favour the 'reflects' glitters - I love how fine they are! Enjoy.

I've long had a love affair with China Glaze's Midnight Ride - a deep, dark blackened purple that is smooth and pigmented. For New Year's Eve, however, I decided to kick it up a bit, with the help of one of the China Glaze glitters!

Hi everyone! Hope you had a super awesome weekend. I'm still sceptical you all aren't sick of looking at smears of purple on my arm, but since you said to keep going... I will! Today are various non-MAC pressed purple shadow swatches (and one glitter liner!).

Here you are looking at Urban Decay Deluxe shadows in Fishnet and Ransom, and the purple from Smashbox's Celebrita quad.

WOOOO! Crappy swatch time! Forgot my cam, so I had to get these home to photograph. Ech. Sorry, dudes. Also, if my internet doesn't stop crapping out, I'm going to go a little insane.
