Last Week Wasn't Sparkly Enough So MORE HOLO!

Ok so I did this mani last weekend. It was good, but it could be sparklier. I know that was a lot of glitter last time but JUST NOT SPARKLY ENOUGH. So realising I now have the full rainbow of holo colours in my small hexes, of course I'm going to do proper. Sparkly.

I tried to do this at a reasonable time last night but that meant applying glitter while watching the last episode of Breaking Bad and that clearly wasn't a good idea. So late night glitter it is! I think you know how to do this by now (see here if you want a tutorial) so let's assess composition and placement. What bugs me, looking at this closely, is that the spacing isn't consistent between my fingers. My thumb and ring finger - being done first - are loosely spaced but the other three fingers are closer together. I don't like the difference. This is what you get from doing glitter while tired and not taking out a colour or two for shorter nails. I also which I hadn't added the silver. Cover it up, and the rainbow is much smoother. I know you'll think I'm nitpicking but I've done so many of these by this stage there isn't any harm in critically evaluating my work. Fortunately, it is rainbowy and sparkly, so there's that.

The Verdict: I like this, save for the reasons outlined above. It's sparkly! No macro photo today because apparently that's too hard for me to do, four times. Sparkly! Rainbows!

NEON FLOWER EYE MELTY GOODNESS

Alrighty! So I recently got a hold of some very interesting flower glitter as a sample for the shop . In the past I've stayed away because I've found it really hard to work with because it either won't lay flat or it's too thick or it sticks up or something, and generally just hasn't really been worth it. UNTIL NOW. Now, not only is this glitter thin enough to behave it also literally explodes under blacklight. LOOK AT IT. Makes me want to carry around my blacklight bulb all the time...more....

3D Glitter Cubes Over Orly Smoked Out

Ok! So. Stuff. I've had an interesting few weeks lately. My mum came to visit and we got to surprise her with a trip to Curacao and it was so awesome. I saw soo many fish, seriously, if you like diving or snorkeling even a little it's like paradise. All this plus work means blogging is hard so here's something I did a little while ago. It's glitter, but it doesn't take a million years to do. Hooray! Sparklies, stuff, blah let's go.

31DC2014 Day 17: Glitter! AKA OH GOD THE CRUSHING PRESSURE

The challenge isn't going super well for me. I could do it, but it's bringing up this whole complex mess of procrastination, pressure and something undefinable that makes me just want to avoid doing it. I feel like I'm rebelling when I don't do a day. Screw you Past Laura, you can't tell me what to do! Add the pressure of choosing something for "Glitter", well, that's clearly not going to be done on time. It's late, but look, rainbows!
