Lippmann Ruby Red Slippers and Milani Red Sparkle

Both of these are some of the most beautiful red glitters I've ever seen and both have a spot in my current (emphasis on current!) Top 20 from my stash.

Lippmann Ruby Red Slippers. Love!! This is my favourite rendition of the 'black with red glitter' polishes out there. It's also IMO, the best. The glitter is super shiny and isn't lost in the black base at all. This is two coats on black.

Milani Red Sparkle. First of all, I apologise for the awful photos. My camera completely spazzes at these glowy reds. I took a shot in lower light so that the actual glitter was easier to see - it's definitely not as orange as some of my pics make it look.

I've said this before but I'll say it again, the Milani One Coat Glitters are AWESOME! The depth of these are crazy. Lots of tone-on-tone stuff happening here. The glitter is very fine and the colours all blend together seamlessly on the nail so I swatched a little thinly on paper to try and work out the different glitters. From what I can see, there's a couple different shades of red as well as black glitter in there. So badass.

Milani Purple Gleam

Remember back when we were all freaking out when Milani released their One Coat Glitters? Well, I'm still freaking out. They are literally, some of the best glitters I've ever come across.

They all have a multitude of different coloured glitters packed in them which equals LOTS of depth. These are insanely beautiful to look at.

From what I can see, Purple Gleam consists of a couple of shades of purple as well as black(!!) glitter. Awesome!

SO SPARKLY!! Check out the macro... click to make it big. I'm telling you it's worth your while! It's crazy, crazy beautiful.

NOTD Nfu-Oh 52 over Milani Rad Purple

I remember seeing this posted somewhere a while back but I can't for the life of me find it. In any case, I love this combo!

The combination of the predominately green flakies just really works with the red/purple base of the Milani.


And because I have absolutely nothing interesting to say, here's a pic of last year's orchids after a nice shower.

I can't wait for this year's blooms!

Milani Totally Cool

One of my favourite Milani's ever.

So much pretty pink micro-flaky, shimmery goodness! Three coats.

I'm sorry my posts have been pretty short lately. School's been busting my butt and I have a tonne of stuff on my plate. I'm hoping things will clear up by this weekend and I can get some swatching done!
