Layer Sally Henson Laser and DVD HD nail polish, and apply OPI Navy Shatter over top. THese are considerably richer in person—they GLOW bright indigo, and the sparkles show through the shatter, since it isn’t totally opaque. It changes between periwinkle, and aqua, depending on the lighting.
Review: OPI Black Shatter nailpolish

The world knows, by now, that I’m not much of a nail polish nut. I bite my nails, and have genetically tiny nail beds to start with, so fancy nail art is out of the question, and many nail polishes don’t apply easily, due to the shortness of the nails. I’d hoped Black Shatter might […]

I know the world of independent cosmetics companies can be a bit daunting, but some companies are genuinely worth checking out. Shiro Cosmetics is right up near the top of my list, nowadays. Their Loose Eyeshadows can be purchased in jars, mini jars, or sample bags, and in quantities. There’s many options for trying things […]

Cliff Notes! Would I recommend it? Yes, if you don’t mind the cost. What were my main issues/complaints with the product? I still dislike the packaging-it’s difficult to open, and I worry about it suddenly popping open while I try to take the lid off. There’s not very much product for the money. How do […]

I’m actually a wee bit frustrated. I FINALLY got my order from shiro cosmetics(I was so busy looking for the PACKAGE that for four days, I missed the note that said they needed a signature before they could give me the package. Urgh.). I had to make the boyfriend pick the sticky inserts of the […]
Review: Illamasqua Pure Pigment in Conquer

Illamasqua may be my new obsession. It’s expensive, doesn’t give as much product for your money, the pigment has an awkwardly designed lid that scares me trying to open it….. But the pigment itself is so beautiful, that I can’t dwell on any of that. Conquer has a very fine texture that handles more like […]

TheCandiedMango and Helena passed this on to me. Maybe I’ll be better with this, than email chains. Usually I read it, smile, and avoid irritating my internet connection by passing it on. Except for one particularly intolerant one from my grandmother, that merited a reply all to her entire church congregation, with historical citations, philosophical […]
Philosophy Mimosa flavored lip gloss

I am a compulsive lip biter/licker. Every moment my lips aren’t swathed in something moist feeling, they feel itchy. So I carry chapstick or lip gloss with me EVERYWHERE. When you use them that much, you get REALLY aware of flavorings and fragrances. The smell of fruity Blistex makes me genuinely queasy. I’ve recently gotten […]
Review: OPI nail color in Miami Beet

I’m not much of a nail art connesseur, due to YEARS of nail biting, and genetically small nail-beds. But I do wear generally solid colors, in keeping with my work dress code. The Fred Meyer near my work sometimes runs Buy one get one 1/2 off type sales on OPI nail colors, so I figured […]

Yay! Another half-hearted nail polish review. Between my nailbiting, work dress code, and short attention span, I think I’m fairly useless for commenting on nail art My biggest priority with nailpolish is ease of application. I hate colors that require three coats, and wear off sooner because of it. This color is NOT one of […]
