I've had this baby sitting in my collection for a little while now and decided to give it a shot tonight. Man, I'm glad I did. This manages to be completely black yet so sparkly at the same time and really is unique. Application, however, was a bit of a pain as this is super thick to apply and yet still manages to have bald patches. What you see below is actually three coats, to ensure full opacity. Despite the minor annoyance, it's absolutely gorgeous on and worth a look.
It's no secret that when I get bored, I troll ebay for glitter. I set myself a $10 budget, search for "holo hex glitter" or something, sort by buy it now and lowest price + shipping and go nuts. I got a new package in the mail today and turns out we all have different definitions of "rhombus" as my rhombus glitter was distinctly hexagonally shaped. Whatever, it's an excuse to the most rainbowy nails I've ever done. They're so sparkly they're actually casting little rainbows on my keyboard as I type this. Sure, they took a long time to do but look how sparkly in these static images! To start, I did my usual base, two coats of Rimmel Black Satin. It cleans up well and doesn't do weird things to my glitter so it's a good base. Then, using my usual technique and Sally Hansen Invisible top coat, I got to work with my glitter. I've been having a lot of luck lately with starting with a column of glitter straight down the middle
This really is gorgeous!! :D
