OMGWTFJSKDJSLDJ 24 COLOURS OF TEENY RAINBOW SQUARES AM DED

Ok! Long time no see, blah blah, look, new glitter! CAN YOU EVEN WITH 24 DIFFERENT COLOURS OF 1MM SQUARES???!!? SPARKLY, SPARKLY SQUARES. Seriously, the glitter is so sparkly and the squares nice and even, you can create even the most intricate patterns. OMG I SHOULD DO MARIO. Shh, pretend I didn't say that. Anyway, shall we look at the newest glitter available at The Sparkly Shop?

Alrighty! So squares work just like hexes in terms of glitter placement. You might say even easier because there's only two ways the pieces can be rotated, unlike hexes. It would be nice to have perfect squares but when you're dealing with this scale, I'm not fussed they're slightly rectangular. At least they're all the same amount rectangular! I started here with my usual black base - two coats - then went to work with my usual slow top coat. I'm still using Essence top coat because it's cheap and decent to work with. Applying a thin stripe of TC down the middle of my nail, I started with my usual center column of glitter. If you pay attention to the alignment and spacing in this first column, it's much easier to build out either side, following the same pattern. Just keep at it, and make sure you top everything off with lots of top coat to seal everything in,

The Verdict: I love this glitter so much. I didn't even think I could get this many colour variations so :D. Plus sparklies.

1MM Square glitter is available from The Sparkly Shop, starting at $6.99. Use SPARKLY10 to get 10% off your order!

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.
