OPI Sparkle-icious & OPI Body Shimmer
The only glitter I bought from the OPI Burlesque Collection was Sparkle-icious, and I have that to show you today. I also have a swatch of the Body Shimmer, which is one of the products in the promo sets.





Below: The Body Shimmer comes in a good sized pot and is a very finely milled copper color that when applied, gives a foily golden look. This can be used as an eye shadow, or applied very lightly as a highlighter on the cheek and brow bones. It also works nicely as a highlighter on the shoulders and collarbone. I applied it lightly, then blended it in very well and it shows up as tiny little sparkles on the skin. I'm going to try using it in clear nail polish also. It's a shimmer, so you don't end up with any fall out as you would with glitter.

On another note, I'm not happy at all with what Blogger has done to our reading lists. I can only see a few at a time, so I'm afraid I'm going to miss something. Hopefully, that's just a temporary situation and they'll set it back to what we're used to.
I'm not really into glitter but lately I think I've been able to fall for some and Sparkle-icious is obviously one of them! I prefer the colour of the picture you took in the shades, it seems that the glitter is more ........ glittering! It's lovely, but like you mentioned, with another colour as base would be even better :D
ReplyDeleteI thought I was the only one that noticed the reading list situation! It's so annoying. Anyway, lovely colour.
ReplyDeletemy reading list is ok now :) *phew*
ReplyDeletelove this set! hvnt seen it ard in stores yet.. hmm. :)
I like what you did with the Maybelline Water polish!
ReplyDeleteLove that glitter! Good idea to layer this one. I know I'll be buying this one.
ReplyDeleteI love Emerald Water over Sparkle-icious, it gives it such depth! I'm sad I wasn't huge into nail polish when the waters were out. I think they'd be FABULOUS for frankening.
ReplyDeleteI ended up getting the non-glittered Tease-y Does It and The Show Must Go On (after I first purchased 4 minis). I really like the glittery ones from this release but, I HATE removing highly glittered polish. I know there are methods of removing the glitter (including soaking cotton in remover, leaving it on top of each nail and then wrapping the nails in aluminum foil). However, I'd prefer to go without the pretty glitter polishes than standing in the bathroom (for what seems like an eternity) and inhaling dizzying polish remover chemicals.
ReplyDeleteOMG I'm in love with that glitter & shimmer!
ReplyDeleteI think I like the shimmer the best for some reason
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Glitter fanatic that I am, I'm impressed that you only bought one of these. :)
