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!

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

31DC2014 Day 6: Violet! Or what happens when you don't know when to stop adding stuff

Dammit this challenge is hard. Taking proper photos is just the really hard part on top of actually doing the nails cos you have to edit them, fix the colours, and then actually write the post. Hence the placeholder posts. I'm totes going to go back and do them proper, I swear. Ok so Violet. Not super feeling it, so hence the mature-shirt-for-older-ladies thing I have going here. Oh well. It's a thing. Onward!

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....
