Dandelion Nails with China Glaze Electric Beat and Others

A little while ago I found someone doing an amazing dandelion mani, complete with seeds blowing across all the nails.  I just had to give it a try!  To create this look I first added two coats of China Glaze Electric Beat, a good match for a sky blue.  I then used a nail art brush to draw in the stems on my middle finger and thumb using Sally Hansen Gunmetal.  Then, using a stiff straight brush, I dipped the ends in Sally Hansen Whirlwind White and drew on the lines blowing out from my middle finger.  I added a few on my other hand too as I liked the idea of having them spread out.  Finally, I added a coat of Joe Fresh Matte Top Coat.  







I love how this came out.  What do you think of the seeds coming around on my left hand too?




The verdict:  this mani was surprisingly easy to do.  A straight brush meant it was easy to create the shapes.  If you're interested, the brushes I used came from this kit. Electric Beat is a nice colour on its own, by the way.  This was two coats and the colour is nice and soft.  The whole techno range from China Glaze is a winner in my books.

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
