Review: Lacquistry Cassandra's Peacock

Ohhhh do I have a doozy for you ladies (and gentlemen, can't make assumptions). As you may have noticed, I've been working my way through my pile of Lacquistry polishes - first world problem, that's for sure. I initially tried this one out when I first received it, realised I should have layered it and put it back in the pile. Consider it now having had justice done, because it's totally awesome!

Being such a chunky glitter, adding enough layers to be fully opaque can cause wear issues. Not a fault of the polish, more of physics. So instead of adding three-four coats, I started with a coat of my favourite sparkly blue, Orly Sweet Peacock. Then, two coats of Lacquistry Cassandra's Peacock. I can't even begin to describe how much glitter is in here. There's blue, green, silver, all of different sizes and shapes, it's so amazing. Because there's plenty of fine glitter in there too, it's just so sparkly and glittery. It's just the right tone to go with the Orly polish too, so that's a win.

Tip: To get these thick polishes to dry, add a coat of Seche Vite or the like, then add drying drops. I didn't think they'd actually do anything but I've had far less problems with wrinkling and marks with them.

The Verdict: I mean, look at it. What else is there to say?

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.
