This gorgeous shimmer explosion of a nail polish had a ridiculous wear time, and was constantly changing colour with the lighting. It had me staring at my nails all week long.</div>
<a name='more'></a>The main tone to this polish is a pale gold shimmer, but depending on where you are and in what lighting, there seem to be flecks of green and blue prominent in the multi-faceted shimmer. The application was flawless, the shimmers were well distributed and I didn't get any patchy spots.<br />

One coat was decent, and two coats gave me a practically opaque finish. I layered this colour over ELF's nude polish just to give it a strong backing, and it really let the colour shine. It did take two coats of topcoat to get a more glossy finish, but the texture of this glitter is very well milled for what it is.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall, I love this polish. It had a lot more appeal to me in the bottle than on the nail, because I mean, come on, sparkly. It would be perfect for New Years for a more understated glitter polish. </div>

<b>Hey guys!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>So the other day I was walking home from a walk with a friend, and I saw this poor old bike just sitting on the side of the road, with its tire just sitting on top of it, stripped bare, right down to the metal and spokes. For some reason I instantly fell in love with it, picked it up and walked it home.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A few days later, I got this brilliant idea to make it into a Christmas wreath!! Look what I made, I love how it turned out!</b></div>

<b>In the end, I found that the more variation you have in the shades you choose, the more the marble will stand out. Having a very light base and a very dark contrast colour really allowed the marble to shine and gave the look much more texture and tone. Definitely a win (:</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>SO gorgeous, right? And it only took a little time and some saran wrap!</b></div>
<a name='more'></a><b><br /></b>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Here's the super simple breakdown...</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">-Revlon Brilliant Strength Polish in Hypnotize</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">-OPI Royal Rajah Ruby</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">-Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>To get this look, all I did was apply two coats of the gold underneath and let them dry completely. After that, I applied a generous coating of Get Reddy and, while it was still wet, I scrunched up some saran wrap and dabbed it on the nail so it would pick up some of the colour, and voila! Instant marble nails.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>So recently I got a big haul of goodies from ELF, including 8 brand spanking new nail polishes (<a href="http://rivuletsbeauty.blogspot.ca/2012/09/elf-megahaul.html" target="_blank">click here</a> if you wanna check out my haul blog!) including one named Fairy Dust. Upon seeing this polish on the website, I fell in love, and it was the first one in my cart.

So if you're an ELF Cosmetics lover like I am, you may know that they recently had a promotion where you spend $20.00 and get 8 free nails polishes.</div>

Within ten minutes of seeing this, my order was placed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was also surprised, it only took them a week to get my order shipped to Canada! I was very pleased.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check out what I got!</div>

So at the top of the pyramid is my favourite polish out of all of these, aptly named <span style="font-size: large;">Fairy Dust</span>. It's a clear base with golden shimmers that shine blueish and almost green in the bottle, but when you put it on they actually shine with more orange than you would expect. Gorgeous.</div>

I love the application of all of these colours... except for the Light Pink. They reformulated this colour, and now one coat looks fine and even, although sheer, but two coats and it looks really streaky. Kind of odd. The one coat is nice for a clean look though.<br />

I know, I'm kinda crazy for buying three bronzers, but I've heard a lot of great reviews about these ones, and they'll be useful for my kit. The last things I got were some powder puffs, a face powder in Porcelain, and two sets of the Natural lashes for my kit.</div>

<b>Hey there!</b></div>
<b><br /></b>
<b>A while back I bought my first two nail polishes from Maybelline's Color Show line. I got them at a fantastic price of $2.97! For the price I wasn't expecting very much, but I was pleasantly surprised when I got around to trying them out! Here they are...</b><br />

<b><br /></b><br />
<b>Today I come to you with this really detailed, really stand-outish nail look! I've seen tribal nails around more than a few times and I can't believe it took me this long to get around to doing them, but I finally did, and I'm in love! Check these puppies out...</b><br />

<b>REALLY bright and colourful, which brings that kind of pop-art feel, the combination of the two styles is super eye catching. If you have the time, this look is very fun to wear!</b></div>
<a name='more'></a><b>Here's the breakdown...</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">-Sally Hansen Diamond Shine Base Coat</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">-Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in White On</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">-SILKline detail polish in Yellow</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">-Orly Instant Artist polish in Hot Blue</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">-Orly Instant Artist polish in Jet Black</span></b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>I've always been a fan of geometric lines and angular patterns, so this look is right up my alley. I knew I wanted to do different patterns on each nail, and changing up the angle of each pattern really made this look go wild.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>I also did the dots with the tip of a dull pencil this time around, for a smaller dot, and it really turned out to be the perfect size! Score 1 for DIY!</b></div>
