Review: Lacquistry A Friggin' Circus

 Lately I've gone just a smidge overboard with the Lacquistry polishes.  They're just so different and so sparkly, I can't help myself.  One of my favourite types of glitters are those that just have large pieces, none of this trying-to-break-it-up-with-micro-glitter nonsense.  So when I saw A Friggin' Circus on Lacquistry's Etsy store, I just had to get it.

On to the application.  Application is always tricky with large pieces of glitter but this was pretty decent.  The pictures that follow are two coats over Rimmel Black Satin (my go-to black polish, by the way) and I've got some decent coverage happening.  To finish off, I added the usual coat of Seche Vite.  Omg, this was so sparkly on.  Take a look at the last picture in the group, just look at all the points of light happening!





Dammit, I love this polish.  If I had more patience, I'd spread the pieces out more but it still looks awesome. So many colours and I just love the lack of micro glitter.



The Verdict: Seriously, look at that last picture, how much more sparkly could you get?  This was a great polish, no chips or wear and just a dazzling array of hexagons that kept distracting me from conversation.  Keep up the excellent work, Lacquistry!

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

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?

Overlaid Red, Black and White Gradient Nails!

Ever since I did this mani recently I've been wanting to do a better version.  The colours seemed like they would work together but it just didn't turn out how I wanted.  I wanted to try again and decided to learn from my original mistakes.  For example, make sure you use a super opaque creme polish on your top layer, don't bother with horizontal stripes and using thicker lines looks cool too.
