Sometimes Subtle is Too Subtle

You might notice I've been a little light on the posts lately. I have a good reason! Recently I was contacted by an agency in New York that wanted me to help them make content for Revlon's new Tumblr! Of course I was going to say yes. My first entry went up last week and I'm quite proud of it. As a side note, I wouldn't totally hate it if you liked it on Tumblr, because I like winning, even if it isn't a competition. THIS WILL BE THE ONLY TIME I ASK THIS, I SWEAR. Anyway, that hasn't been leaving me a ton of time to do complicated things so it's down to whatever strikes me at the time. In this case it was an attempt at a black-on-black texture thing with Ozotic 623.

You can kinda see what I was getting at here. I started with two coats of Rimmel Black Satin and once it was dry I cracked out my zig-zag decals and added a coat of 623 to my thumb and ring fingers. The other three nails got tape for a triangle half-moon. I love the texture in 623, it looks like granite, which is totally cool with me. It just doesn't really show up over black. Which makes sense because it's black too... oh well. I could tell there was something other than just black going on here, which is what counts.

The Verdict: Always love Ozotic polishes, they're either ridiculously holographic or interesting in the texture. And I really like the decals from Sticky Nails. I get bored with just one colour of polish so I like to throw in a bit of zig-zags in there. Just remember to stick it to your palm first, kids, otherwise you'll have a bad time. Tumblr! Words.

Nail decals were sent to me for my honest review. I really like them :)

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

Review: JENsations Stars in Space and S'mores

Guess what everyone? I'm going to review some indie polishes that you can actually buy without having to wait for email messages! Yay! And sparkly too! Imagine all the holo glory as while my lightbox produces lovely even white light, it saps any and all rainbows from manis, leaving me to try to take pictures in my kitchen like a barbarian. It may not sound that hard but when you use a manual focus 60mm macro lens that has a wafer-thin depth of field, it's not the easiest. Anyway, let's take a look at two, that's right, two, beautiful polishes from JENsations , Stars in Space and S'mores. First up, Stars in Space. I started with two coats of Zoya Caprice, a very bright purple creme that you'll be seeing a lot of as it makes for a great base. Next, two coats of Stars in Space, the most fabulous mix of silver holo glitter. There's stars, squares (man, I love square glitter), hexes and micro glitter. I liked this one as there was enough glitter on

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?
