Rimmel Hard Edged - Flakies & Stamping

So today we have a polish that's very gorgeous. This is actually one of the colours in my giveaway too.

This polish is so gorgeous, It's a dark brown with highly visible purple shimmer, that shifts to gold shimmer in certain lights, there's also some green shimmer lurking about but it's hard to photograph.

Such a gorgeous colour! & two amazingly perfect coats. The formula on this was so so nice to work with.

The next day though I couldn't help but put some flakies on and I felt like stamping too ^_^

 The stamping did look a lot more gold in real life. I'm loving the layering combo on this one, Hard Edged does something special for Nubar flakies. Nomnom!

OPI - Nevermore Swatches

I thought I'd share my swatches of OPI's Nevermore, Which I received from Iris along with some other crackers! I also though I'd share some other news about the giveaways I've won. I've had some great luck recently :]

First up the swatches. Nevermore is a stunning dark blue-purple, kind of duo chrome, with blue shimmer, and purple flecks. I seriously love this colour, I have nothing in my stash like it.

Look at all that gorgeous In the bottle!

Pretty certain none of these photos do this beauty justice!

This is how I received the polishes I got from Iris. How pretty is that paper!

Revlon - Whimsical, Claire's - Candy Shop, OPI - Nevermore

All so gorgeous, and all graced my fingertips the same day as I got the package - Even though I had just finished my nails :P So a biiiig thanks once again to Iris at Polish Amor for these ^_^

I thought I'd also share my winnings from Lucy's Stash. I won prize number two in her Blogiversary Giveaway. I don't think I'll share swatches, but from what I've tried so far I'm loving Elf, the shimmer pencil is gorgeous. Downside - I'm obssessed with trying to pull off the Lipstick in the sleek box. I love the colour, but I'm not sure I rock it :P

Ah this seems like a long post! I've also just had news that I won The Lacquered Nail's first giveaway, And the main goodie is a Barielle! I'm so excited!!!  :D

More Interview Nails

Another boring set of interview nails. These looked much better in real life, as the shimmer in Peach Smoothie popped against the Chrome. But in pictures you can hardly see the shimmer.

Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

Like I said, in person these looked much better. And I still love the scent of Peach smoothie. Nomnom.

Happy Mondayyyyy :]

Using A Plate Ending In 4 - We Stamp On Sundays

This weeks challenge over at Adventures In Stamping was to use a plate ending in 4, I wasn't really feeling up to doing my nails when I did these; so they're a bit boring.

The base colour is a serious stunner though, OPI - Nevermore, which was sent to me as part of a swap from Iris over at Polish Amor. But more on that some time in the coming week ^_^

For this I used three different chrome polishes, a bright and pale pink, and lilac.
