Confetti Tasmanian Devil

     Hi guys! The past week has been really hard, so I wanted to wear something festive and fun. I couldn't think of anything, but then I noticed Confetti Tasmanian Devil sitting on a shelf, and decided to just put it on. 

Tasmanian Devil is really complicated. There's purple, green, orange, blue, gold, and silver large and medium sized hex glitter. And in between all of that is a bunch of square silver microglitter. I also noticed some triangular pieces of glitter in there, although those were few and far between. 

It has a clear base, but I layered it over Diamond Cosmetics Matte Black.

       Tasmanian Devil is such a party polish. It's so super blingy, and I love how all the colors of glitter catch and reflect the light. I do think that the microglitter made it look a little messy though...I would have liked it with just the large and medium glitter. But the microglitter does give great coverage and helps set Tasmanian Devil apart from the other numerous DL Happy Birthday! incarnations. 

    Tasmanian Devil was also very easy to work with. I used two layers of it, and they went on really smoothly and dried very quickly. I went to wash some plates about 20 minutes after applying this, and it still looked perfect when I was done. 

But that's all I have for you guys today! Thanks for reading, and have a awesome Wednesday!

Confetti Moonstruck

    This is gonna be a quick post, since I'm supposed to be packing my stuff to leave this place and am wayy behind schedule. I wish I could press a button and fold my room into a little box, like they used to do in the cartoons. But anyway, here's Confetti Moonstruck.

Moonstruck is a pale grey-ish taupe creme.

     I'm going to keep Moonstruck. This type of color has been everywhere since last fall, so it's not unique. But still, I am fond of it. It's very simple, understated, and clean...perfect for when you don't want your nails to take center stage or just need to cleanse the palate. Plus, I like how it looks on my nails.

   I also liked how Moonstruck applied. It was a bit too liquidy, but went on like butter and leveled itself beautifully. Three coats of color and a layer of topcoat gave me a perfect, creme-y look, with very little effort on my part. Ooh, also, the brush in this bottle was indeed doing the gangsta lean, but really, I don't understand...like what people are moaning about. I turned the brush to accommodate for the direction of the slant in relation to my nail, and all was well. It was a little inconvenient, but I really don't think it's a big deal. 

And that's all I've got for you today! Thanks for reading, and have a lovely hump day! 

Confetti Smitten

           Happy Mother's Day!! The color I chose for today is not very Mother's Day-esque, but I do love my mommy dearly, so I felt the name was appropriate. Here's Smitten, from what I assume would have been Confetti's core lineup, if the brand hadn't been cut down in its infancy. *plays taps*

Confetti is a midnight blue polish with purple and blue flecks of shimmer. 

This one shows more of the colors.

   Smitten is okay. It's not the most exciting polish ever, but it is a good-looking one. It also has the rather unusual distinction of looking better on the nail than it does in the bottle (as it should always be). I really like how the flecks of shimmer sparkle from the base in sunlight, and in regular light, it doesn't go completely flat. Plus, I think it's unique in my collection, so Smitten can stay.

   Formula-wise, Smitten was what I think is typical of Confettis: thin but controllable and quick-drying. I needed three layers for opacity, and another layer of topcoat to get some gloss out of it. I've also heard complaints about wonky brushes, but the one in this bottle was fine and did the job.

Thanks for reading, and I wish all the mothers a most magnificent day! ^_^

Vampy Week: Confetti Masquerade Ball

            Woww, this has been the wackest vampy week ever, huh? LOL. Foolish life, getting in the way of all my  hopes and dreams. But anyway, for today, I tried to pick a good one to end the week on, and (if I do say so myself) I think I did a pretty good job. Behold, Confetti Masquerade Ball:

Masquerade Ball is a thin black base with a crapload of coppery-red microshimmer. The shimmer is like the colored of freshly dried blood. The overall effect is a glowy, blackened burgundy polish.

          Masquerade Ball has to be one of the best reds I own. To be fair, I own like pretty much no reds because I tend to hate them, but still...this color is seriously hot. The shade of red itself is super rich, very pretty and flattering. And the overall effect of the polish is gorgeous...there's a ton of depth, and it does that thing where the center of the nail is red and the edges are black. It's not the most unique thing out there...I'm sure you'd be able to find a dupe for it. But but but...Masquerade Ball was only $1.99 so I think you'd be hard pressed to find a cheaper dupe.

         Masquerade Ball's formula was pretty middle of the road. It went on okay, but was a little thin, so I needed three coats to get it to bottle color. Dry time was pretty good though. 

        And as a reminder, this is the last day to enter my wittle giveaway. So if you'd like to enter, please leave your comment by midnight, EST. 

        Have an awesome Saturday, guys!
