Review: Lacquistry Hey Cowboy Swatches

I've been having quite the love affair with Lacquistry polishes lately.  Every single one I get and try is better than the last and is always just perfect.  Some have massive hex glitter that I always like, some are just rainbow glitter and all are so sparkly, so pretty, so unlike just about everything else on the market.  Hey Cowboy is no exception.  It's different to the other Lacquistry polishes I've tried so far but this just might be one of my favourites.

Hey Cowboy is a massive glitter bomb consisting of blue and gold micro glitter accented with larger silver pieces in a clear base.  I was really happy with the application with this one, the pictures below are three coats but it was pretty much opaque at two and doesn't need a base colour.  Once on, I couldn't believe how sparkly this was.  I kept twinkling my hands around all day today and getting distracted in meetings, it was too good.  It reminds me of something my Jem doll would wear when I was a kid, it's awesome. 






Man, doesn't this look awesome on the close up?  Dried super fast too which always helps. 

The Verdict:  I've long since touted the virtues of the huge hex glittered polishes from Lacquistry but I think I almost prefer Hey Cowboy.  Sure, the glitter is more understated (heheheh) but it's smoother and super sparkly.  Keep it up, Jenna!

Lacquistry polishes are available from Jenna's Etsy store at http://www.etsy.com/shop/Lacquistry.  Her shop is currently closed but if you can get your hands on these, it's super worth it!  Just don't go the ebay route, that doesn't help anyone :)

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.
