FULL RAINBOW GLITTER INSANITYYYYYYYY

I don't know what it is, but there's something about hex glitter that is very pleasing to me.  The tessellation, the way the colours can interlace, it's just great.  The problem is, the tiny glitter - my favourite - is actually quite difficult to find. The red, especially, difficult to track down.  I FINALLY FOUND SIXTEEN COLOURS BIATCHES.  THUS, RAINBOW-Y-EST RAINBOWS EVER AND I'm sharing too at the The Sparkly Shop... But we're here for this rainbow today.  LOOK AT THIS WOULD YOU.

I get asked all the time to make a tutorial for this kind of glitter placement.  The problem is, a tutorial isn't really going to show you much.  It'll just show me individually placing around 160 pieces of glitter per nail.  However, if you follow the following steps you will be more likely to have an evenly spaced result.  Apply two coats of your base colour, and choose something dark because it just looks better with a rainbow.  Then, apply a stripe of top coat down the middle of your nail and place a column of glitter.  This will set the spaced for the rest of the nail.  You then just keep applying small, thin amounts of top coat and just fit the hexes together.  That's it really.  I've had good luck with gel top coats - either Sally Hansen or Nailene Ultra Quick Dry Gel.  Any regular top coat is fine too.  That's it really.  Other than basking in the sparklies and attention that is. 






The Verdict: This is so close to perfect.  I love how I managed to fit all sixteen colours on each nail, and that my spacing is decent.  One day I'll do a placement where the cuticle or a stray piece of glitter doesn't bother me...

Rainbow glitter is available from the The Sparkly Shop here.

Review: Sephora X Outburst

As you can imagine, I was pretty excited when the new Sephora X polishes came out.  Not only were there a million of them, but I could go see them in person, circling the huge stand and singling out my prey.  I'm not the most happy that the good ones are FIFTEEN dollars each but what am I going to do, not buy any?? That's silly.  I have few now but my favourite so far as to be the incredibly Outburst.  LOOK AT IT:

All the ILNP Ultrachromes! Like Shiny Beetles!

Guess what guys, it's not glitter today!  Instead, I have the incredibly amazing ILNP Ultrachrome polishes to show you!  I saw a picture of these on the ILNP site and gasped out loud when I saw the colour shift.  I totally didn't sit for an hour at work, refreshing the page when the preorders went up.  That would be silly.  I was so excited when they arrived as they looked as amazing in the bottle as they did on the site.  I swatched each polish over black, took the photos, but no matter what I tried, I couldn't get the finish to a place where I was satisfied.  I'm sure it's something about the way I was applying it, but there would be little bumps or inconsistencies in the finish and it was annoying.  So I didn't post them.  I gave them another shot in a taped mani and YES THIS IS BETTER LOOK:

Pink Mega-Sparkly Nails!

It's hardly a secret how much I love sparklies.  If it were at all practical, I would make my middle name Sparkly.  Laura Sparkly Tucker.  That does have a nice ring to it.  Anyway, this adoration of all the sparklies means just about my favourite thing ever is dazzle glitter .  It's like a bunch of tiny pieces of glitter were smushed together into a larger piece.  And oh, so sparklies.  I've done red and silver manis using this glitter before so that's the perfect excuse to use the pink.  That makes sense, right?
