Posted on September 3, 2009 by

I’ve been really digging the greens recently for some reason. This is two coats of OPI Hey! Get in Lime!, which is a strange name for the color, since there is no hint of lime in it whatsoever. It’s more … Continue reading →

I’ve been making a lot of glitters lately. (Surprise!) Although I’m a glitter troll, it has to be a very specific kind of glitter. I’m not crazy about rough glitter and I generally prefer smooth to chunky. My favorite is … Continue reading →

Mom’s A Glittertroll Too!

Posted on August 11, 2009 by

300th Post! Well,  I think being a glitter junkie might just be hereditary.  I did my mom’s nails and first off, she chose OPI Hollywood Blonde, a dirty light pink with lots of silvered shimmer.  It’s a nice color- an … Continue reading →

Foil Tutorial

Posted on June 7, 2009 by

A while back, I talked about how to get true metallic nails. Currently, there is no really mirror-like metallic polish on the market. There are some foily shiny polishes, but nothing truly reflective. Maybe in a few years, but nothing … Continue reading →
