Review: TWO (!!!) Finger Paints Special Effects, Motley and Asylum!

I've already started a post with AHHH MMAHH GAAAHD in the past 24 hours so must think of some other introduction.....hmmm.  I'm really excited? That'll do.  But yes, I am soo very super psyched today as I have two more Finger Paints Special Effects!  The lovely Kitty hooked me up with two (!!!) bottles and they're so worth it, so good.  As I couldn't decide which one to use, why not both?

First up, I wanted to do something other than a flat black for a change.  Here I used two coats of Nicole by OPI No Limits, a gorgeous almost black blue.  It's a heavily pigmented jelly and so glossy on.  I'm a fan.  Next, I added a coat of Asylum (orange and purple flakes), one of Motley (green and blue) and then another of Asylum because it's amazing.  The result? A beautiful flakie rainbow!






The Verdict:  These are amazing, I just hate how hard they were to come by.  The rainbow Finger Paints Asylum and Motley make together is beautiful.  I just wish I hadn't ruined this making the bed about 10 minutes after taking these pictures... :(

    What topcoat do you use? I use Seche Vite and can get back to using my nails like normal about 10 mins after putting it on. I could probably do it sooner but I like to make sure it's totally dry.

      I used Seche Vite too but stuffing your hands down the sides of a Malm bed to put a fitted sheet on is too much even for the mighty SV :(

      *crushing jealousy*. I think Asylum is the one I wanted the most, are there any other must-haves?

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.
