It's almost HALLOWEEN people!! Soooo I had to make; A HALLOWEEN Sparkles Collection!! Are you excited?? I know I am. Time to get up close and personal;

Peachy Jelly Belly

Rejoice!! The original Peachy Jelly Belly is back in stock =) To celebrate I had to do a manicure;

Then I wrecked it by covering it up with some stamping, it was still cute but I think it looked better by itself. 

What do you guys think? Better before or after the stamping?? 

Graffiti nail polish

My inspiration is running wild, and so has my credit card... This has resulted in a huge increase in different glitters from all over. Since I saw shredded glitters I have been fascinated, but didn't really know how to make use of them in nail polish... Untill I came up with Graffiti nail polish, check it out;

Tape Manicure!

Hello guys, and happy labor day!! I hope everybody is enjoying their long weekend, I know I am =) 

I wanted to show you guys a manicure I did a while back. I started with two layers of Murky Waters, then added tape for the nails that I wanted the tape effect and applied two thin layers of Water Lily. After I decided to do some stamping on my accent nails, and of course added a little bling as well;

Sorry for the lack of clean up! I am a bit lazy when it comes to cleaning up, and it does not show in RL. I also forgot to put on TP before taking the pictures, UPS!! Hehe =)

Here is Murky Waters on its own;

Picture spam;

I love the combination of colors, and will definetly be doing more tape manicures! So easy, yet it creates such a cool effect. What do you guys think?

Oh, and seeing as it is Labor Day, I am celebrating with 20% off in my Etsy store. Just apply the coupon code LABORDAY at checkout. Happy Shopping; Sparkles by Julie

MIA & Out of This World

Hi guys!! Sooo I have been MIA for a while... I finished my Masters degree in May and then I managed to break my wrist one month later. Two months of recovery went by before I felt ready to start searching for a job, while we had to move, and then my little baby mouse Coco got sick!! She's not really a baby, she's just sooo tiny that I always call her baby, or just mini. It has been crazy, I finally managed to get a job temping at a recruitment agency. It is lots of fun and I have soo much to learn, but I basically don't even know if I work the day after untill 4 or 5 pm... I am exhausted!!

The house is still a mess, but right now my focus is on getting Coco well, and trying to get a more steady job situation. Since I have been away a while I have some manicures to show you guys!! And I have even made my own little work station for creating some new polishes. I have something exciting in the works for you!!

But first I wanted to show you a manicure I wore a few months back!!! I think I did this even before my wrist broke. I had seen alot of these types of manicures online and wanted to create my own. And it kinda symbolizes bringing this blog back to life;

This is Sparkles by Julie - Out of This World decorated with Sally Hansen nail polish pen. I also added a little diamond on the heart. The pen was harder to use than I had anticipated as the tip was very thick. Luckily it is easy enough to edit, so the end results was not that bad, I thought it was a very cute manicure.

This is Out of This World before the Heart Beat decoration;

What do you guys think of the Heart Beat manicure?
