Pros & Highlights
+ Glossy Angels is a pretty new (launched January 2007) glamour style teen site, though as with many other supposed "teen" sites they are bending the truth a bit with that label, which fortunately doesn't make the 18 to 20something babes at Glossy Angels any less hot.
It's all softcore (nude posing) solo photosets and a so far (too) limited selection of short videos with beautiful babes, including quite a few of the usual popular East European hotties like Zafira, Nella, Peach, Anetta Keys, Peaches, Ariel, Lenka, Monika Vesela and several others. In total there are currently 50 gorgeous girls on the site
+ Great looking and very sexy photosets, as you would expect (and need) from a site of this type, but as usual with strictly softcore content, you really need to be able to just appreciate a naked body, no masturbation, no toys, no lesbian sex, otherwise you will probably get bored very quickly. As mentioned in a few other reviews I've sort of grown to like this type of content recently though
+ Great technical quality. Photos are available in two large resolutions, 800x1200 and 1333x2000, and the latest few videos are in full HD at 1280x720, 5200 kbit. The remaining videos don't exactly look bad either at 720x540, 2200 kbit
+ The site design looks good, but in terms of features Glossy Angels unfortunately isn't up to the high standards of the best sites it's competing against. Check the cons below for details
Cons
- One new photoset every 3-7 days and a new short video roughly every 10-30 days just isn't cutting it compared to the daily updates of other similar sites
- Glossy Angels is a bit lacking in site features as mentioned above. Given that the site is still relatively small (compared to its competitors) I can live without extensive model and photoset/video search options (hair color, body type, breast size, photoshoot location and assorted other options some sites offer), but at least they could have put the model directory in alphabetical order.
A more serious problem is the lack of zip file downloads for photosets, and that missing option is made even worse as you will have to spend extra time manually renaming every photo you choose to save (regular right-click manual save), as they are all named "image.jpg", rather than being consecutively numbered within a set
No slideshow option either (something that seems to be bordering on becoming standard on many photo heavy sites) if you just want to view the photosets online, just "previous" and "next" buttons
- Videos are only available in one quality, though given that the videos are very short (arguably another con, though short videos tend to be common on softcore sites, there's afterall only so much you can do with a naked girl lying around doing nothing but looking hot before you get bored), file sizes even for the HD videos should be easily managable on even fairly slow broadband connections
- Overall my main problem with Glossy Angels is that it's just not good enough compared to the competition. Sure, the girls are hot and the photosets look great, but most (possibly all) the lovely ladies aren't exclusive to this site (though these particular photosets and videos are), and there's really nothing that would ever make me choose Glossy Angels over a site like MC Nudes, or if you want a bit more than just softcore nude content, Xisty or the old, but always fresh giant Twistys.
These problems are also reflected in the scores I've given Glossy Angels. Looking over them I actually thought I was perhaps being a tad too harsh, but when compared to the competition that's probably not the case in most if any cases.
It's unfortunate that great content like this is delivered in an otherwise unimpressive and subpar package
