Haul: THE FULL PRISMATIC COLLECTION!!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee has been the sound I've been making all night tonight as when I happened past my local beauty supply store they had just put out the new China Glaze Prismatic Collection!! After the bitter, bitter disappointment about the Finger Paints Special Effects, there was no way I could let this amazingly sparkly, duochromed collection pass me by!  

I'll be swatching these shortly but I just had to show you how pretty and complex they are in the flesh!




Left: Polarized and Right: Liquid Crystal

Left: Full Spectrum and Right: Ray-Diant

Left: Optical Illusion and Right: Prism

Optical Illusion: primarily green with alllll the glitter colours in there.  Medium duochrome. 

Prism: Mainly pink, again with all the coloured glitters.  Medium duochrome.

Ray-Diant: almost a gold colour with a total glitter rainbow.  No duochrome. 

Full Spectrum: also kinda pink but looks more different to Prism in person.  Strong duochrome, pink in the light and silver at the edges. 

Polarised: Silver with a glitter rainbow.  No duochrome. 

Liquid Crystal:  My favourite, complete duochrome rainbow with pink and blue coming forward, depending on the light.
The Verdict: Nothing much more to say other than EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE these are amazing! I haven't seen anything like it before, at least not tiny rainbow glitter in a duochrome base.  I can't wait to try these!

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.
