Neon Color Club Watermarbling with Gold Unicorns!

Oh hi! Did you have a good holiday/break time thing? I did. I did lots of sleeping which, when it's cold, is just about my favourite thing. So cozy, with so much cat hugging time cos she's cold too. I've been doing some nails but I've just not been super feeling many of them. My real nails have having a bit of a rough time with the weather and then using acrylics doesn't help in the long term. Anyway, time for some eye-meltingly bright neon watermarbling! With gold unicorns! Cos they go with everything! Woo!

My favourite thing about doing my own acrylics is that I get to experiment with the nail shape without having to actually commit to changing my real nails. Turns out I really like almond shaped nails. Not super pointy, just a shape like an almond. Turns out said shape makes watermarbling be even more awesome than normal. I picked up a neon set of Color Club polishes from Winners and they make for excellent marbling. I've found that the newer the polishes, the better the result. This turned out perfectly even in terms of spread because all the polishes were the same. Also, liquid latex works really well to tape off your nails. The unicorns were just stuck on as usual with nail glue.

The Verdict: Love neon, love almonds, love unicorns, so of course this is win for me :D

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
