Nicole by OPI - Candy Is Dandy Swatch

Hi all

Sorry I've been a little MIA recently (again?!) myself and my bestie got re-motivated to start up our weight loss/fitness mission again, and finally reach out last goals. We actually joined a gym, so a few times a week (or more if i can muster the energy) will be dedicated to gym time, so even though I'm pants at blogging already, posts may become even more infrequent.

Today I have a some swatch pictures of the lovely Candy Is Dandy which is by Nicole by OPI.  Candy Is Dandy is a lovely pink polish from the Gumdrops range, It's a sugary pink with tiny little flecks of Silver, with holographic hex glitters (which I didn't manage to capture too well).

And here's a bottle shot where you can really see the holo hex.

Pretty!

Until next time my lovelies!

Born Pretty Hex Glitter

Hi all, Happy Sunday.

Just a little post today as I'm not feeling too grand.

The Born Pretty store contacted me maybe some time back in July and sent me a few items to try out, the first I've shown was the flocking powder, here. I was kind of putting off using these glitters, because after obsessing over manicures that covered the nail entirely with different colours, I wanted to do something epic. But It came to 9pm one Sunday evening and I realised I had naked nails, and that would mean naked nails for work so I did something really quick.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colour: Zoya - Carey

Glitters: Born Pretty Store Hex Glitters

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

This kind of thing is actually something I used to do way back in the day when I was about 13, I used to do glitter flowers on every nail, but the hex glitter was much smaller than this.

And here are the colours I used, Pink, Aqua, and a pretty pale gold.

NOPI - Jade In The Shade & Technic - Mermaid Swatches

Happy Saturday guys! Hope you've enjoyed yours as much as I've enjoyed mine (spent it internet shopping... and bought nothing, aha!)

Small post today, just some swatches from a few weeks back. Nicole by OPI - Jade In The Shade is a pretty blue metallic that sometimes has a bit of an aqua look to it, it's the kind of colour that you can get from pretty much any brand, nothing special. The formula on this isn't great, and these pictures show three coats.

And this is with one coat of Technic - Mermaid

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colour: Nicole by OPI - Jade In The Shade

Glitter: Technic - Mermaid

Top Coat: Rimmel 60 Seconds Clear

Pretty pretty, I think it'd look great over a dark blue creme.

That's it from me. I'll be back tomorrow for the Adventures In Stamping challenge :]

2true Glitterati Shade 1 - Sapphire

Hi all, no Adventures In Stamping post for me today as I just didn't get round to it.

So instead you can have a couple of swatch shots of a polish that's unique to my stash. This is two coats over black with a top coat. I still haven't tried this by its self, but its really pretty for layering. and it dries really quickly too. Its a blueish base, with fine blue micro glitter, silver hex glitter, and iridescent hex glitter that flashes blue and green.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colour: W7 - Black

Glitter: 2true Glitterati Shade 1 - Sapphire

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

It was kind of hard to capture the iridescent flashes that a lot of the glitters in this have, just look to the bottle for what kind of other colour flashes you get while wearing this.

That's all for me today I'm afraid.

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
