Tale of Two Glitter's

Recently I have been quite intrigued by glitter nail polish ever since I got a manicure recently for an event, which I unfortunately did not remember to take a picture of. So when I was these two nail polishes, I thought it would fun to test out which is better; light or dark?



 With most glitter polishes they are just a clear coat with sparkles so it looks better to put a solid colour coat underneath it. The first one I tried out was on the dark side spectrum and I was surprised at how well it turned out. The glitter polish I used is the Kardashian Kolor collection from Nicole by O.P.I called Rainbow in the S-kylie with Essie's Over the Edge. The first set are from my Instagram account but really none of the pictures do justice to what my nails really looked like. I loved how it looked like someone neatly spread confetti onto my nails, I couldn't stop staring at them. I was a little hesitant since I am not the biggest fan of the Kardashian's but this nail polish was so amazing and I would definitely do this manicure again.




The second manicure I tried had more of the bling bling and took a couple days for me to get used to with all it's shine. I tried Set in Stones from Essie's Luxe Effects collection with O.P.I 's Alpine Snow (which is a pure white colour) and I didn't mind the manicure. I usually wear a fair amount of shiny jewellery since I wear basic clothes and just funky accessories so it was a bit much for me. But it would great to do if your going to a nice dinner or fancy event, not so much for everyday.

Butterfly Fly Away


So I promised I would a review of the butterfly nails I had in my previous post and I always try to keep my promises. First of all this I this not a sponsored post I just wanted to give my honest opinion on products that I try and I will always give my honest opinion.


I have actually tried the exact same strips before back in the summer and actually wanted to do a post but didn't bother to do one. First time I did them it was a sticky, chipped, & frustrating mess, and the second time around was slightly better because I knew how to use them.



 Still kind of frustrating and I only kept them on for a about two days before I was able to pull them off. Although I do love the pattern, it just isn't worth the time and effort to wear them for such a short time.
