NEON FLOWER EYE MELTY GOODNESS

Alrighty! So I recently got a hold of some very interesting flower glitter as a sample for the shop. In the past I've stayed away because I've found it really hard to work with because it either won't lay flat or it's too thick or it sticks up or something, and generally just hasn't really been worth it. UNTIL NOW. Now, not only is this glitter thin enough to behave it also literally explodes under blacklight. LOOK AT IT. Makes me want to carry around my blacklight bulb all the time...more....

I initially tried this glitter out over a neon orange base. Turns out, neon orange is a liiiiiiiittle bit overwhelming for this glitter. It's very thin which was the initial problem but this can be used to your advantage. Here I started with two thick coats of white polish then used my usual slow top coat to do a rough placement, usual layout. When it was dry, TIME FOR TEXTURE. I applied more top coat and filled in all the gaps with more glitter. Sure, this isn't going to last forever so think of it more as a special occasion look. Or cos you can. Cos glitter. And blacklight. ARE YOU READY FOR EYEBALL MELTY?????????????????????????

The Verdict: There isn't an onomatopoeia for the sound I made when I first put a finished nail under the blacklight. It's just so neon and so rainbow and fairy magicness that once again, am ded. I don't even care there's no top coat and that some of the glitter feel off. NEON RAINBOW FOR EVER.

This glitter will be available on The Sparkly Shop soon. Maybe have a look at our newsletter? I promise we're people.

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.
