Ember Nails - China Glaze Lubu Heels and Barielle Elle's Spell

Before I started blogging, another of the polishes that really helped tip me over the edge in terms of being totally amazing was Barielle Elle's Spell. A flakie in a red jelly, it just seemed really interesting. I finally found it a little while ago in a Winner's and decided to see what it would look like over another interesting polish China Glaze Lubu Heels. They are both so awesome!

First up, let's look at Lubu Heels. This one's a black pigment with red glitter throughout. It applies really nicely - what you see here is two coats - and just looks dangerous on. Like a spider sitting on my nails. Win for the first one.

Next up, Elle's Spell. A red jelly with orange to red flakes, it also applies well. I added two coats on top and bam, EMBER NAILS. This one was just so sparkly, so multi-dimensional, very cool. Bit of a shame I ruined it before I could take proper pictures :(. This is still a great combination though :)

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.
