Rainbow 90's Computer Logo Nails!

You know you have a problem when a perfectly matched rainbow pot of glitter just isn't that exciting because it isn't holo. I realised the other night that this is stupid and I should try it out. Not everything can be holo, Laura! The hardest part was choosing a background colour because I've done a rainbow over black literally a million times. Let's take a look at rainbow glitter Hooplah from Impulse Cosmetics over Revlon Royal.

I'm still so mad at my middle finger for being an asshole and breaking that even my favourite blue jelly, Revlon Royal, can't even fully distract me from how uneven it is. Blerg. Anyway, I chose Royal mostly because it was already there, on my desk, and it's the best blue ever. It does need a few coats but it's worth it for how shiny it comes out. Once dry, I used my usual technique to create my chevrons. Starting at the top of my nail in the middle, I placed one piece of glitter in each colour, spaced evenly. It's then just a matter of building out each side. Keep an eye on your spacing as you go and you should get a nice even chevron. Voila, mid-90's computer logo rainbow nails!

The Verdict: Have to say thanks to my trainer Ben, because these totally look like a 90's computer logo. Which is good. I'll always love Royal, it's my perfect blue that I think only benefits from being a finicky jelly.

The Other Hand: I'm continuing my streak of being honest about what's on my left hand and this time I used the same base colour and just sprinkled the glitter over my thumb and ring fingers. I find sprinkling better than dunking because then you don't get patches with too much glitter that won't lay flat.

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.
