Argyle

Miss Sporty - Fatal Black was a Christmas present from someone at work.

And it's so pretty. I'd describe it as a dark charcoal-black, it's a strange one though as it has a slight rainbow shimmer to it.

The formula's amazing too; it dries so so quick. And I only need two coats to totally cover my tips.


Konad: M60
Stamping Colour: Scarlet & Crimson - Ruby & Millie - Unknown Name
Base Colour: Miss Sporty - Fatal Black
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

My First China Glazes!

I recently went into Sally's and seen China Glaze on offer, buy two, get a "No Chip Top Coat" free.
I'm not sure what happened, but I paid full price for all three, and I haven't got a discount card either ;(
Bad times.

On the plus side: I'm in love! It's been, a few years probably since i really liked shimmering polishes.

Awakening is a soft rose type pink, but with flashes of warm bronze.

3 Coats

Models Own Nude Beige.

I'll start by saying I love the formula of Nude Beige.

With Models Own  Pastel Pink I sometimes have a little chunky monkey problem. But that could be because I tend to be a little heavy handed.

Easter Egg - Leopard Print

I was in the mood for colour, but it wasn't until the second day of wearing this combination that I realised these looked more like crazy easter nails, rather than fun leopard print.

Needless to say they were still fun to wear ^-^

Stamping Plate: M57
Stamping Colour: BYS - Satin Black
Base Colour: Collection 2000 Hot Looks - Button Moon
Dot Colour: BYS - Fools Paradise
                 Rimmel - Pop!
                 Miss Sporty -
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

I think my nails are the strongest they've been in years, and I honeslty believe that's down to the top coat that i've been using religiously since I bought it.

Flowers & Sparkles.

So I have quite a lot of photos of my nails, even pre-konad but the photos themselves really don't look that great. So I'm going to post what i'm half happy with; until i get the hang of my new camera :]


You can see the colour better here.
