You know you have a problem when a perfectly matched rainbow pot of glitter just isn't that exciting because it isn't holo. I realised the other night that this is stupid and I should try it out. Not everything can be holo, Laura! The hardest part was choosing a background colour because I've done a rainbow over black literally a million times. Let's take a look at rainbow glitter Hooplah from Impulse Cosmetics over Revlon Royal.
I'm still so mad at my middle finger for being an asshole and breaking that even my favourite blue jelly, Revlon Royal, can't even fully distract me from how uneven it is. Blerg. Anyway, I chose Royal mostly because it was already there, on my desk, and it's the best blue ever. It does need a few coats but it's worth it for how shiny it comes out. Once dry, I used my usual technique to create my chevrons. Starting at the top of my nail in the middle, I placed one piece of glitter in each colour, spaced evenly. It's then just a matter of building out each side. Keep an eye on your spacing as you go and you should get a nice even chevron. Voila, mid-90's computer logo rainbow nails!The Verdict: Have to say thanks to my trainer Ben, because these totally look like a 90's computer logo. Which is good. I'll always love Royal, it's my perfect blue that I think only benefits from being a finicky jelly.
The Other Hand: I'm continuing my streak of being honest about what's on my left hand and this time I used the same base colour and just sprinkled the glitter over my thumb and ring fingers. I find sprinkling better than dunking because then you don't get patches with too much glitter that won't lay flat.
