Ozotic Gradient with Hex Nail Jewelry Accents!

Guess what guys? The ridiculous amount of Hex Nail Charms I ordered a while back arrived! I've been seeing them all over the internet so of course I need them too. I probably shouldn't have ordered ~25 of them but whatcha gunna do. I needed something awesome to pair them with so why not a gradient with Ozotic holo polishes? Unicorns need rainbows, it's the law.

To start, I applied the usual two coats of Rimmel Black Satin. Once dry, I painted two thick stripes of Ozotic 531 (orangey) and 534 (purpley) on a makeup sponge and daubed it on my nails. I only did two coats of the gradient as I really like the scattered rainbow effect you get when you really lightly apply a holo polish. Once dry, I placed a drop of nail glue on my nail, attempted to stick the charm on, peeled it off my fingers/tweezers and finally got it stuck to my nail. I've used top coat, cheap nail glue and proper 3 second nail glue and trust me, if you're going to invest a dollar or so for each charm, get the proper nail glue. Even though my ring finger is a bit too curved for the unicorn and the horn sticks up a little, it still lasted all day. That's less likely to happen with other methods.

The Verdict: LOVE the charms, love the Ozotic polishes and my sparkly shoes, of course. These charms are just such a nice way to accent a nail without having to do anything complicated. And if you can get some rainbows in there too, of course that's going to make it even awesomer. Sparklies!

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

Review: JENsations Stars in Space and S'mores

Guess what everyone? I'm going to review some indie polishes that you can actually buy without having to wait for email messages! Yay! And sparkly too! Imagine all the holo glory as while my lightbox produces lovely even white light, it saps any and all rainbows from manis, leaving me to try to take pictures in my kitchen like a barbarian. It may not sound that hard but when you use a manual focus 60mm macro lens that has a wafer-thin depth of field, it's not the easiest. Anyway, let's take a look at two, that's right, two, beautiful polishes from JENsations , Stars in Space and S'mores. First up, Stars in Space. I started with two coats of Zoya Caprice, a very bright purple creme that you'll be seeing a lot of as it makes for a great base. Next, two coats of Stars in Space, the most fabulous mix of silver holo glitter. There's stars, squares (man, I love square glitter), hexes and micro glitter. I liked this one as there was enough glitter on
