wholesale-dress.net - website review & haul

Posted by Sarah Ali / Glossicious at Saturday, October 29, 2011 2 comments
a month or two ago , i read a tweet from mehak that she ordred few things from wholesale-dress.net . Out of curiosity , i opened the site and few days later i was placing my first order. The prices were incredible (cheap) and i paid with paypal. 
Wholesale-dress.net is an Asian online clothing wholesaler that sells super cheap clothes, shoes and accessories. They accept payment via Credit Card, PayPal and Western Union money transfer.

I was waiting my items to be shipped , it was like after two weeks when i got an email that one of the bags i ordered is out of stock , and i should let them know if i want a replacement or credit transferred into the website account. I replied back with the back i wanted + few other items to adjust the amount. It took ten more days and i got an email that my order was shipped . Guess what ?? They only shipped one bag and other amount was transferred as site credit. WTF . I was angry but asusual my carefree nature took over . My order was trackable as i chose the dpex shipping method and it came in a week. I had to pay a little custom fee.

Things i ordered were



and here are the photos 
Overall i am really happy with the things i got.  I absolutely love the bag. Its exactly like the photo i saw at the website. I wish the clasps and chain of the necklaces were of good quality but i can always use my own chain . I wanted a key pendant for so long. I have like $27  credit which i have to spend. so i am waiting for nice new bags on the website. I will keep you all updated. 
Will i recommend this site : It depends what are you buying ? I will recommend checking out reviews and ask question about the products . I asked where ever i had to about color, bag straps and even bag sizes. I took my time in ordering. I read not  so good reviews on the clothing and the shoes categories but i will suggest you to check out their bags and jewellery items.Shipping is expensive but atleast its reliable and trackable so you can sleep not worrying about customs eating your package. Some of the cons i could think of are that  Refunds or exchanges not given for faulty or incorrect items and if you dont mind waiting time long between payment and shipping of orders. Once its shipped it reached  me with in a week,

Glitter Gal Not Another Red - NOTD

Posted by Sarah Ali / Glossicious at Tuesday, October 18, 2011 8 comments

When the 3D Holographic colours are seen under lights or sunlight  these high impact polishes show the full spectrum of sparkling Holographic colours. It is hard to photograph them but the effect can be seen clearly in the "Copper" "Green" Silver" and "Blue" colours shown below. All the Holographic polishes below show this same rainbow effect. It is truly magical to see.
Glitter Gal is an Australian based company which is owned by two very talented and all awesome ladies Kerry and Anna.


Glitter Gal's not another red is a strong red holo with rainbow sparkles. It says red but it definitely leans more towards pink .



Australian made”3D/holographic” nail polish
: AUD$11.95
Colours: 27 holographic and 300 salon colours
Summary: The holographic range are light reflective, chip resistant and long lasting
Shade :  3d “Not Another Red”




Tell me you dont love the holo awsomeness ??  I was blown away when i went in the sunlight and started to take the photos. The magic of holo just sucks you in when light hits . The formula of Glitter Gal's not another red is smooth , i only needed two coats on bare nails. But in these photos i am wearing OPI's opi pompeii purple and over that i applied not another red. The formula was thick so i needed one coat over another nail polish. I didn't notice any streak. So overall applying Not another red was delightful.

Below photos were taken indoors with a flash 





 indoors , natural light



The size of polish which is smaller than your average nail polish full size bottle.  The Glitter Gal holos are 9ml/0.33 fluid ounces.
Considering the size , many people thing that the price is quite high but they use “true” holographic particles in the formulation.  This one ingredient is 30 times more expensive than any other nail polish ingredient.  Thus making our holographic nail polish the highest quality possible. They claim that You will notice the smoothness to the finish of polish, and reflective effects are amazing.  They are also the “Big 3 Free”.

You can purchase Glitter Gal polishes from their website only accepted method of payments is  PayPal for international shipments.
