Balls-out Nuts 2: The Hex Nail Charms!

Ok so I loved those nails I did last weekend. Balls-out crazy pants, rendered me unable to get my shoes and actually woke me up because they got tangled together, and 100% amazing. These are it. I'm basically jelly that I can't do them again this week so I'm improvising and applied all my Hex Nail Charms. So much classier than last weekends' and coincidently the most expensive nails I've ever done. So yay for sticking all the charms!

Yeah it was really hard to get excited about just about anything after last weekend. I was looking longingly at my charms case and noticed I hadn't used my Hex Nail Charms in a while. After applying three coats of Demolition Polish Dead Man's Touch which is a nice black holo polish I just went nuts with my nail glue. Just like, pool it on your nail, try and fail not to stick your fingers together or get it in your cuticles then bung the charms on. Tweezers are ok but if you have sharp sewing scissors, they're really good for picking up and placing the charms. If you use your finger, you'll get it stuck to it and get fingerprints on the charm. But yeah, bam I'm a fancy ladyyyyyyyyyy.

The Verdict: I'm happy with this on two fronts: it actually stands up as being interesting and cray after last week and I have close to $50 worth of charms just on my right hand. Yiissssssssss.

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.
