Beetlejuice Nails!

As you may have noticed, I have a hard time going more than a day or so without having to hit the glitter.  It's my favourite and while time-consuming, I find it really relaxing to do something so methodical.  I've already used this particular glitter before but I wasn't entirely happy with it last time so I thought I'd try to mix it up a bit.  Let's take at my Beetlejuice nails!

First up, a new white polish I picked up the other day.  Turns out LA Girl has a "salon" line that is pretty decent.  Delicate is a shimmery white polish that applies well for a white, only needing two coats.  Next, using my usual glitter technique, I added vertical stripes in my charocal grey square holo glitter.  Quite the mouthful really.  I was trying to decide between vertical and horizontal stripes and after seeing it on, I proooobably should have gone with horizontal but whatcha gunna do.  Beetlejuice! 







The Verdict: I like the Beetlejuice look but I didn't apply it that well and that always bugs me.  I do like my new white too.

The Polishes:

  • L.A Girl Professional Salon Lacquer in Delicate, L.A. Girl
  • Charcoal holo square glitter, ebay

    Love the manicure. It must have taken ages to place those glitters, but looks stunning.

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.
