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

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.
