Giveaway Winnings - H&M Snow White Polishes

Hi all.

Small post today to quickly show the polishes I won last month from the lovely Marianne from Rainbowify Me.

I won her 400 follower giveaway, and gained three very pretty polishes to my collection. I have a mani coming up later this week using all three, but for now this is the package shot with some delicious chocolates too nnomnomn. Those gold ones were amazing!

L-R H&M - Make Me Blush, Snow White, and Silver Frost

There is shimmer in Make Me Blush, and Snow White has the most beautiful subtle green and red sparkle under certain lights, it looks especially pretty under artificial light. Silver Frost is a mix of medium silver hex glitter, and micro round glitter.

So chuffed with these, so thank you again Rainbowify Me! :D

Hope you're all having a good Tuesday :]

The Polish Bar - Violet Sky

Hey all! Happy Thursday! So close to the weekend I can taste it! hehe.

Small post today to showcase The Polish Bar - Violet Sky. This is two coats over Manhattan - 67n.

I really love the combination of glitters in this one, and I imagine the purple glitter would really pop on a different base, which is something i'm going to try in the future, maybe in one of my Christmas mani's as I find this quite festive in the snowy sense :]

I hope everyone's had a good week so far, mine as flown by but I suppose that is what happens when you're only looking forward!

The Polish Bar - Satellite Swatches

Hi all! Happy Tuesday!

So as I mentioned a few posts back I recently won two Indie polishes from My Nail Graffiti and here's the first swatch. Satellite is quite possibly the most amazing polish I own. I love the mix of glitters, I love the formula. It's just love in a bottle. These pics don't do it justice.

I wore this to go watch some fireworks on Bonfire Night, on the 5th of November. Yes that's how far behind I am with everything! But yeah, when it's on your nails you can't help but just keep staring :P

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colour: W7 - Black

Glitter: The Polish Bar - Satellite

Giveaway Winnings

Hey everyone :]

Thought I'd share with you some pics of the polishes I was lucky enough to win not so long back. I'm totally in love with Satellite, swatches will be on their way soon. A big thanks goes to Amber from My Nail Graffiti for hosting the giveaway :D

The Polish Bar - Satellite & Violet Sky & the prettiest bubble wrap ever!

So yeah, I'm fully in love with Satellite, and now all I want to do is buy a huge amount of Indie polishes, as these are the first two I've ever tried, and if these are anything to go buy, I need to get some PVA glue as I'll be wearing glitter all the time!

Thanks again

Catrice - Genius In The Bottle

Quick swatch for you guys today! Catrice - Genius In The Bottle is a dupe-ish for Chanel - Peridot, I say dupe-ish because comparisons I've seen It's not totally spot on. That being said, it is totally close enough for me as It's a gorgeous polish. I won this from Ingie over at fyeahilovenails.

Genius In The Bottle is a golden green, which can flash blue at certain angles (not really pictured sorry :P) but this is a very, very pretty polish. This is three thin coats, no base coat, no top coat. :]

Catrice - Genius In The Bottle

Happy Thursday!

Catrice Dirty Berry & Black Swirls

Hey hey hey! Today I have a polish that I won from Ingie over at fyeahilovenails, and I've stamped over it using the plate that I won from Dashica Beauty.

Now just before I got wind of the fact I'd won Ingie's giveaway I had seen quite a few posts with Catrice - Dirty Berry, and I really loved it, so when I realised I'd won it; I was very excited :P Downside though it's such a bitch to photograph :P This is my first real holo polish, it's not a linear holo, but its damn pretty. It also applies like liquid bliss, so smooth, the coverage is great, it's not thick; it's just perfect!

 Catrice - Dirty Berry - 2 coats.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: Catrice - Dirty Berry
Stamp Colour: BYS - Black Satin
Image Plate: Dashica Big SpD-A
Top Coat: Models Own - 3 In 1

These were really fun to wear, I feel like I should have changed the image placement up a bit, maybe using the smaller version of the same design on my ring fingers or something. Anyhooo I hope everyone's having  a decent Tuesday. I'm just looking forward to this week being over!

My Recent Giveaway Winnings!

So since the start of this year I have been a very lucky girlie indeed I've won makeup goodies from Lucy's Stash which can be found at the end of this post. A polish ring & hair clip from The Lacquered Nail, an incredible Big SpD Plate of my choice from Shirley over at Dashica Beauty, which I first used in this post.

And the latest, an exciting giveaway from Ingie over at fyeahilovenails. Which was made even more exciting by the fact she shoved a load of extra goodies in as well! Ingie really is such a sweetie, and we both have the pet hate of other people watching TV too loud :P If you haven't visited her blog yet, ch-ch-check it out :]

Anyhooo I would like to take this time to say thanks to all of those lovely ladies! My good luck this year concerning giveaways is counteracting the effect that being unemployed for so long is having on me right now. So thanks again :]

On to the goodies from The Lacquered Nail:

Holographic & cracke hair clip, water marbled ring, & Barielle's Elle's Spell

 Look at how pretty! From swatches I've googled the blue/green flake doesn't really show up on the nail, but I'm dying to try this!

Now on to the crazy winnings from Ingie.

 How cute is that card ^_^

So many flakies.. So little time :D Look at those beauties!

So as if the original goodies weren't enough, she added in seven extra polishes, body wash, fruit nail decals, and a tinted moisturiser. My face was probably a lot like this O_O when I opened them all up hahaha. I was like a giddy school kid xD

So from what I've counted I get to try out eight brands I've never tried before and I'm so excited, I couldn't help but swatch them one on each nail when I got them all hahaha.

This was actually meant to be a short post but I've managed to blab on :P I hope everyone's having a nice Wednesday :]

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
