Taxi Nails with Maybelline Fiercely Tangy!

I'm not really sure why but I've become a little obsessed with yellow polishes lately. I guess I want to make it up to the colour after ignoring it for two years. Shh, that's a normal thing to do. Totes. Anyway, Maybelline Fiercely Tangy is good at fitting in that colour cos it's yellow. Which means I of course have to put glitter on it. Taxi nails!

I guess I so neglected yellow polishes because they have a habit of being really difficult to apply. Turns out Fiercely Tangy doesn't have that problem. It's just a nice, bright yellow creme. After applying three coats I went to work with my black and silver holo square glitter. WHY IS IT THAT LARGER "SQUARE" GLITTER ISN'T SQUARE? Surely it's not that hard to do. My placement isn't the greatest here because I was having problems with the two colours being different sizes and not being cut evenly. I think I'm ok with how it turned out.

The Verdict: Love the polish, eh about the glitter. Good in theory, just not executed terribly well by either myself or the people that made it. It is sparkly, so there's that. That's always a good thing. Sppppaaarrrrrkkklllyy.

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....
