Taping Experiments with OPI My Private Jet and Ozotic 534

For most of today I've had a wonderfully sparkly blue mani using Lacquistry Winter No.1.  As I applied it far too thick I couldn't help picking it off this afternoon >.<.  Given that it's movie night tonight, I had to throw something on quickly so why not OPI My Private Jet?  I've had this one in my drawer for a while as I was mad at it for not being the crazy holo version.  I consider it forgiven as on it's own it is actually the most interesting colour.  Not really brown, not really olive, so very nearly a holo, it's just interesting! 

As I wasn't sleepy yet when I got home, I though I'd add the holo this polish so deserves with one of my favourites Ozotic 534.  You can see a full review of this beauty here, if you're interested. Anyway, I thought I'd experiment with a new taping technique.  Check the pictures first, see if you can tell what I did:






I love the effect this creates although now its on I'm 100% on the colour combo.  It's pretty rainbowy though so I'll let it off.  Anyway, I created this effect by cutting little triangles of tape and sticking on three per finger.  Paint over the top, peel off carefully and voilà!




The Verdict: Despite getting the non-holo version of My Private Jet, I'm still really happy with the colour, just because it's different! As you would expect from OPI, application was a breeze, this barely needed two coats.  I also love the tape effect although I think next time I'll choose a nice bright contrasting colour pair.

Review: Nicole by OPI A Million Sparkles is Accurately Named

It's amazing what you can find when you wander around at night.  My favourite time to go shopping is ridiculously late and I'm extra happy when it pays off.  I've been looking for Nicole by OPI A Million Sparkles for a while now at that couldn't be more up my alley if it tried.  I finally managed to find it in a Shoppers last night and it really does live up to its name. A Million Sparkles is a predominately blue glitter that has an amazing ability to look like a foil after a couple of coats.  Combine that with gold, silver and pink bar glitter and you have a winner.  It's seriously so sparkly I got distracted from what I was saying at lunch today.  Application is decent but you really need four coats to get completely opaque coverage.  That's ok, glitter dries fast.  It's a little rough too but nothing Seche Vite can't fix.  The Verdict:  Yay glitter! If, like me, you like sparklies to the point where it's the biggest tag on y

Review: JENsations Stars in Space and S'mores

Guess what everyone?  I'm going to review some indie polishes that you can actually buy without having to wait for email messages!  Yay!  And sparkly too!  Imagine all the holo glory as while my lightbox produces lovely even white light, it saps any and all rainbows from manis, leaving me to try to take pictures in my kitchen like a barbarian.  It may not sound that hard but when you use a manual focus 60mm macro lens that has a wafer-thin depth of field, it's not the easiest.  Anyway, let's take a look at two, that's right, two, beautiful polishes from JENsations , Stars in Space and S'mores. First up, Stars in Space.  I started with two coats of Zoya Caprice, a very bright purple creme that you'll be seeing a lot of as it makes for a great base.  Next, two coats of Stars in Space, the most fabulous mix of silver holo glitter.  There's stars, squares (man, I love square glitter), hexes and micro glitter.  I liked this one as there was enough glitter on

I'm a Proper Mermaid This Time Beeeeaches

Ermerger guys, I don't have any glitter on me!  Well, I do, just on my nails.  I always have glitter on me.  And cat fluff.  It's funny how often my bf comes home with glitter in his beard.  That means it's been there all day... Anyway, new nail vinyls mean something a bit different.  I swear I'm not actually obsessed with mermaids, it just seems like it... Anyway, again, shall we?
