TRIANGLE GLITTER EVERYONE AHHHH

How has it taken me this long to realise that triangle glitter existed and that I should be all over it?? I'm silly. Anyway, it's a thing and it's amazing and I love it and it's so nice to have a change from hex glitter. It's so even and beautiful and matte and sparkly, there just aren't enough adjectives. Yeah so this is what it looks like when you mix 15 colours together on your nails. WONDERFUL THINGS. You might even be able to get this glitter too - it's going up on The Sparkly Shop this afternoon at 3pm. I swear though I just want to share the sparklies. Sorry for the self-promoting. Anyway, focus, glitter time!

Triangle glitter is such a dream to work with. You just have so many options for patterns! Mixing matte and holo glitter is the best too. The matte glitter has such great definition and holo is sparkly so together they are magical. I did my usual thing here, placing my column of glitter down the middle of my nail - I did three pieces of each row to make sure I was heading evenly - then building out the sides. I did try something different with the top coat! I bought a two pack of Sally Hansen Miracle Gel polish and it turns out the top coat is amazing. No shrinking, wears really well and dries fast. I get nowhere near the tip wear I'm normally plagued with. The gel is eh but the top coat is awesome. Anyway, yeah, two coats of that and I was set.

The Verdict: I think I have a new favourite glitter. Hex will always have a place in my heart but it's so much fun to create new and interesting patterns with triangle glitter. There'll all super consistent in terms of size too.

Four different triangle glitter sets are going up on The Sparkly Shop at 3pm today, starting from $6.99. Woo!

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.
