Screw it Day 2: Nails Inc Disco Lane with Holographic Studs! Woo!

So it's totally Day 2 of my Screw-it challenge - where I do what I want, as long as I post! We'll just pretend for now that I posted yesterday, and didn't nap instead. I love napping. Anyway, I saw on Instagram a while back that holographic studs existed and once I'd resuscitated myself, I had to buy them. I can't remember where now, just google it. I tried them out once before but was kind of disappointed because they seemed all plasticky and not all that holographic! Turns out, they have plastic over them. Peel off and BAM most holo. So let's take a closer look at these, shall we?

I wanted a black polish to go with my silver studs and Nails Inc Disco Lane is a good match. Cos sparklies. I first tried just using the wet polish to stick the studs on but nail glue works so much better, once you've un-stuck your fingers from each other, and peeled the tweezers off your hand. So, after applying three coats of Disco Lane - topped off with Seche Vite - I applied a little nail glue in the shape of a triangle, then stuck my studs on with tweezers. I splashed out an bought proper nail glue, believe me it's worth it because it dries fast and is super glue-y. Just be careful not to get it pooled in your cuticles because that will not come off easily. Once the studs were dry I peeled the plastic coating and BAM shiny. And hard to photograph.

The Verdict: Yay Day 2! I love these studs, because what's not to like. Holo, ffs. I <3 it. And Disco Lane is a good polish too. Like lots of little rainbows stars. So win all round!

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?

FULL RAINBOW GLITTER INSANITYYYYYYYY

I don't know what it is, but there's something about hex glitter that is very pleasing to me. The tessellation, the way the colours can interlace, it's just great. The problem is, the tiny glitter - my favourite - is actually quite difficult to find. The red, especially, difficult to track down. I FINALLY FOUND SIXTEEN COLOURS BIATCHES. THUS, RAINBOW-Y-EST RAINBOWS EVER AND I'm sharing too at the The Sparkly Shop ... But we're here for this rainbow today. LOOK AT THIS WOULD YOU.
