W7 Blue Lagoon & Flakie Magic

This polish is an oldie for me, it's about 3 years old, if not a little more. I didn't need to thin this polish at all. And there was no clean up required. NONE! It was seriously the perfect consistency. Sadly most of the pretty purple shimmer and the micro glitter hide in the bottle, but from what I remember when I got this the glitter was always really sparse and random, which I love quite a bit. The colour is very vivid, and I thought it would be a perfect blue for some flakies as I never got around to showing George Boom with Nubar.

Two coats of W7 - Blue Lagoon


Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: W7 - Blue Lagoon
Flakie: Nubar - 2010 G188
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat



Mmm Matte. One coat of Rimmel matte top coat.

Just to show the pretty glow :]

Pink & Silver Paisley

Not Christmassy at all; but I just needed something to brighten up my day!

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: Miss Sporty - 302 (possibly Hip Pop)
Stamp Colour: China Glaze - Millennium
Plate: Konad M64
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat



This stamp never fails me, always good first stamp, and always transfers really well. I really wish I knew the name of this polish though, a few weeks back I thought that it might be Hip Pop, but now I'm not sure. I now know though that it' number is 302. So if you call into Boots or Superdrugs ladies, please let me know!

Atomic Tribal

Base coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: L.A. Colors - Atomic
Stamp Colour: BYS - Black Satin
Image Plate: Bundle Monster 222
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat
No festive nails today, but wearing this was really fun as the colour of Atomic is sooo gorgeous, it's just a pity it's so sheer ¬_¬ Maybe it's just the way I apply it, but this was three coats, which looked fine, until I was in the light to take photos. I hate that you can see my nail line.

I never actually thought I'd wear this image, as I'm not a massive fan of tribal patterns like this, but I fancied a change and I was pleasantly surprised.

Green & Black Vertical(ish) Stripes, With Bundle Monster

Just a quick post today. I've fallen behind in editing/sorting photos, and I really should have done this yesterday but I took a trip with Scott to Tynemouth beach/ Blue Reef Aquarium for our dating anniversary. The aquarium was kinda pants, but the otters were so effin cute! Twas a good day :]

This is the first time I've used this image from BM214 as a vertical design. I used it here for horizontal imagery. If there's a plate out there somewhere that actually has vertical /horizontal lines in different thicknesses I will find it!!! Maybe I wont, but I love vertical striped nails, and when I'm lazy it's often what I lean towards just with stripers.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: George - Martian
Stamp Colour: BYS - Black Satin
Image Plate: Bundle Monster 214
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat
