Turns out Unicorn Charms Go With EVERYTHING INCLUDING DOTS

So I conceptually get dotting tools. They're a good idea and some people have done amazing things with them but I just can't get a satisfactory result of them. The dots are never completely even. That's usually when I say screw it and use glitter. I LOVE YOU AND YOUR CONSISTENCY GLITTER. Especially circle glitter. And unicorns always make things better.

To start I did the usual two coats of China Glaze Liquid Leather and went to town with my Essence top coat to get the white dots on. It's easiest if you do a row down the middle of your nail first as this will set the spacing for the rest of the nail. Just keep the distance consistent for the next column. You can use a small pair of scissors to trim any excess off the tips of your nails. Once dry, use a bunch of nail glue to stick your unicorns from The Sparkly Shop on. Yay unicorns!

The Verdict: I like the look of glitter so much more than that of dotting tools. Even takes about the same amount of time, believe it or not. And these unicorns go with EVERYTHING.

Ohhh yeah and also, you can finally get the same glitter I use for all these manis! I have glitter sets for sale now at The Sparkly Shop. And unicorns too!

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
