Halloween Colour Camo.

Hi all! Happy Tuesday!

My interview went well yesterday, and I believe things are in motion *touch wood* I apparently have no free time these days though, so this will be a quicky quick post today, but it's better than nothing right?

These are some nails that I was inspired to do from A Girl and Her Polish sadly, hers are wayyy wayy better. I have like zero dotting tool skills :P And I reallllly love her colour combo :]

Colours used:

ELF - Desert Haze

Yes Love - K011

Essie - Orange It's Obvious

Kiko - Light Grape - 292

And that's all from me today as I'm so pooped. been up 19 hours now o_o on about three hours sleep. Need sleep!

Giveaway Winner!

Hi all!!


I know it seems like I must be full of excuses these days, but by the end of this month I will be more settled for sure :] and I'm trying my best to keep my mind on the blog.
Today I attended an assessment, and have an interview on Monday to try and get onto the "admin pool" so I can actually get a permanent job with the NHS - hopefully where I work now *fingers crossed* so i'll have less notes to read, and more time to paint nails :D
Here's the winner!

I've just emailed Ananka & will give her 48 hours to respond to the email before picking a new winner! :]

Gosh Holographic Hero & Black Flowery Snowflakes Using Bundle Monster

Hi all! Happy Thursday!

Today we have swatches, and stamping.  Gosh - Holographic Hero Is my favourite holo polish that I own. It's stunning, bright, it dries well, there's not really a problem with application, the wear isn't that bad at all, and I think out of all the holographic polishes I own (five or six) it has the the most impact.

I spent weeks stalking Superdrug, both in my town centre, and in the city centre, and I'd almost given up, when I came across a bottle in my local store! yay! Since this time (the back end of September) I've worn it three more times after swatching, I love it that much.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colour: Gosh - Holographic Hero

Stamp Colour: BYS - Black Satin

Image Plate: Bundle Monster - BM 323

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

 
And here's some swatch shots, taken in various lighting, I must have taken about 100 photos :P

Sunny daylight, but not direct light

The next two shots are in direct sunlight. So pretty!

Cloudy daylight = subtle rainbow

Hope you're all having a good Thursday! :]

NOPI - Fell From The Tree & Color Club - Hydrangea Kiss Swatches

Hi all! Happy Tuesday!

Today I have swatches of Nicole by OPI - Fell From The Tree & Color Club - Hydrangea Kiss. These swatches are from the start of September, and were the base colour for separate mani's that I never got photos of; but I thought I'd still share them.

First up is Color Club - Hydrangea Kiss, a medium dusky blue, with an effortless formula. looking back at photos now Kiko - Cornflower reminds me of Hydrangea Kiss, but a little lighter.

Next up is Nicole by OPI - Fell From The Tree. Formula wise this was a little on the thin side , needing three coats to fully cover nail line, but it was quite an eye catching colour to wear because of the lovely shimmer in it. I actually Think this looks more green in real life.

Hope you've had a good Tuesday! Hopefully i'll be back with some stamping on Thursday =]

Stamping Over Glitter - We Stamp On Sundays

Superrrr late post today, but it was either post it this late, or not take part in the Adventures In Stamping challenge again, which is something I do not want to do. Maybe after I've shown you my mani I'll explain a little bit about what the frak is going on with me lately.

Base Coat: La Femme

Base Colour: Kiko - Violet Microglitter

Stamp Colour: Barry M - Gold Foil

Image Plate: Bundle Monster - BM319

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

And here's some shots of this little stunner without the stamping:

And here is two coats without top coat, looks a little bumpy, but you couldn't feel it to the touch:

Okay so explaining myself; I’m not writing this for any sort of sympathy, and I’m in fact already struggling of how to go about explaining things, but I feel like a bad blogger and want you guys to know why. I've not been keeping up to date with my reading list for a couple of months now, generally always being a week behind. Recently I'm not posting to my normal schedule, and I'm not as active as I should be. I'm not even painting my nails like I usually do, and I've even went weeks at a time without stamping.

This is pretty much because I'm adjusting to life now things have changed.  I've split up with Scott, so I've been trying to distract myself, from dwelling on things really. And this is why I've been a bad blogger. But I really want to get back into being organised! I've got photos from back in August that I need to edit and post; I need to get back into Sunday challenges too, as I've missed them.

I’m gonna try to get back to normal blogging ASAP so bear with me :]
