Happy Easter!

I hope the Easter Bunny is generous to you all!

My Easter NOTD is Missha BL002 sponged with Missha GR001 and then a free hand bunny for an accent. It's pretty messy and you can see all the mistakes in the close up but I think it turned out pretty good.

And now for Mario's annual Easter appearance :)

Recent Glitter Haulage - Bottle Spam

Trying to get back in the swing of things here sooo let's start with some sparkly bottle spam. This is some of the polish stuff that has arrived to me over the past couple of weeks. As always, you can click to enlarge anything for more detail.

First of all, Aussie ladies - check your Pricelines/Targets. There are a whole bunch of new Essence Colour & Go shades. I picked up these three along with a couple others. Blue Addicted is a supposed AtU dupe.

Blue Addicted, Time for Romance, Make it Golden

Oh how I despise Nicole bottles... and not to mention "Kardashian Kolors" makes me gag. But I caved and bought one anyway. And I think the Missha I found is new(ish).

Some stuff from Transdesign...

Marry a Millionaire, Gingerbread, Beyond the Mistletoe

Guppy polishes from the bay. Love the frosted glass bottles but these smell like Kleancolors. As in, they smell like a mix of insect repellent and death. LOL

The polish companies are pouring glitter upon us this season. It's practically raining sparkles! I love it.

Missha JBL01 and Pink Pearl

You all know I love Asian polishes and Missha are right up there... they are amazing.

They look so pretteh in the bottles. So pretteh!

JBL01. Woah. This is so gorgeous and it's so complex. It's a slightly greeny blue base and it's packed with silver microglitter as well as blue and green microflakies. Totally insane. Here's a macro to try and convey the awesome. Please click to enlarge it.

Pink Pearl Top Coat. This is three coats on black. I've shown this one before but man I can't get over how cool this is... rainbow shimmer!! It's very sheer and the shimmer is a little sparse so it's best in multiple coats over a dark colour but the end result is SO worth it. Crazy multi-coloured shimmer!!

Holo Spammah!

In honour of my newly acquired Ikea Jansjo, I've whipped up some holo spam! Well technically a couple of these are holo glitters... but they are just so purdy!

I apologise if you notice any bumps on my middle and index fingers since I've got silk patches on those and haven't buffed down quite enough.

Nubar Reclaim. Green holo! Going Green was such a beautiful collection. A green lover's dream.

China Glaze Octa-Gone Wild. There are several versions of this floating around. I *think* I have the original release.

China Glaze Techno Teal. I know a lot of people were disappointed in the Tronica collection because they were hoping for more in your face holos. I love them for what they are though. The subtle holo effect is beautiful in the sun.

Ozotic 524. This is a strange one. It's a bronzey-brown frosty holo... weird. The first pic I took in the shade to show the frosty base a little better. This is certainly very unique, I've never seen anything quite like it, but it's still not my favourite.

BK 20. I've shown this one before but it's so beautiful it deserves more pics. Linear red holo. It pulls a lot less pink than Ozotic 518 and it also has a foily finish so it's still sparkly and interesting indoors when it's not spitting out rainbows :D

Missha HKH01. I've swatched this probably over five times before and I've never got colour accurate pics until now. It's so awesome. HKH01 is a crap tonne of dirty gold and holo microglitter chucked into a matching base. The glitter is so fine that I you can't actually discern any of the holo pieces - you just know they're there because they sparkle and dance in the light so prettily.

Kleancolor Holo Chrome over Color Club Pucci-licious. Eeeep, my skin is so yellow here! Well, at least the polish is showing up as colour accurate. Holo Chrome... a $1.75 masterpiece.

Economy Class (an MPJ franken) over black. I made this guy ages ago... I think it was sometime in April last year when I was really lemming the original MPJ something bad. Recipe: ~2/3 Ozotic 509 and ~1/3 black. Holo frankens are so simple to make!

China Glaze OMG. I don't wear this by itself a lot since there are so many other silver holos out there and this one konads so well. Example here.


Yay holos! They are probably my second favourite finish right behind duochromes and just a smidgen ahead of glitters.*
