The Most Glitter Feasible to Fit On My Nails

I don't even know how to introduce these any more. It's a lot of glitter. Like, a lot. I was showing off my glitter stash to instagram yesterday and realised I had more holo glitter than I thought, in the smaller size that fits with my matte and metallic rainbow glitter. So of course I'm going to do something excessive with it. Cue the pictures!

I know there aren't too many people out there that would spend so long gluing 150 pieces of glitter to each nail. That's ok. It's sparkly and that's enough for me. To do this, if you're curious, uses my usual process. Three coats of black polish, thin strip of cheap top coat down the centre of your nail, line of glitter - this is the place you want to focus on getting everything evenly spaced and straight - then build out each side. Top with a top coat and you're done. Sure, there's a lot of time in there but rainbow sparklies!

The Verdict: I know a lot of you don't spend this long on your nails in a month. That's ok too. I like to be the one that puts the time in, is a bit crazy with the glitter. Makes me happy. And sparkly. My preferred state of being. Yay glitter!

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 big...

Review: Sephora X Outburst

As you can imagine, I was pretty excited when the new Sephora X polishes came out. Not only were there a million of them, but I could go see them in person, circling the huge stand and singling out my prey. I'm not the most happy that the good ones are FIFTEEN dollars each but what am I going to do, not buy any?? That's silly. I have few now but my favourite so far as to be the incredibly Outburst. LOOK AT IT:

MOAR FLOWERS, NOW SPARKLY

Ok! So you may be feeling a sense of deja vu but WHO CARES SPARKLIES. I actually did this flower mani before the neon one - I held the the neon glitter under my blacklight and there was no way I could not immediately apply it to my nails. Running The Sparkly Shop just continues to have perks... And yes, I do have a blacklight bulb that handy. Anyway, this glitter is just as amazing as the neon, it's RIDICULOUSLY sparkly. Same thinness, nice and easy to work with. Let's take a look, shall we?
