Crackling Hell This Is Amazing

Still on Breast Cancer Awareness, so still pink, yay.

Sometimes you do your nails and they look okay. They even look quite pretty. Other times I find it so difficult to take the polish off because its just so damn pretty. This is one of those times.

The base is Ciate BonBon which is a pale dusty pink with hints of lilac. On top I used W7 Mauve Crackle, and now I have got crackles working I adore it. Its almost glittery crackle, but not quite.

I think the polish fairies are going to have to prize these two out of my fingers.

BFF Challenge - Texture and awesome nail mail

Must admit the texture challenge had me stumped for days, i just didn't know what to do. I did dabble with a glitter gradient, but it just wasn't getting me. Then I was going to do a ciate style caviar manicure, but to be honest it looked pants and I hate the way there are gaps. So I used the balls to go on like studs in a leather jacket. But instead of a leather jacket I used my new Kiko Duochrome pinky/gold. Must admit I am completely in love with the results.

What do you think?

Here are the other lovely ladies taking part in this challenge

In addition to the lovely nails I have received some fabby nail mail. Last weekend I got a few Sally Hansen Insta-dri's from a £1 shop near me. They were such a joy to apply and to use I had a scout on the internet and found some more of the lovelies. Also, they are good to stamp with :) So, I got the following shades!

From left to right : Grape Going!, Lively Lilac, Presto Pink, Instant Iris, Flashy Fuchsia, Speedy Sunburst, Magenta Motion and Wined Up

From left to right : Petal Pusher, Slick Slate, Quick Sand, Essie Ridge Filling Basecoat, Silver Sweep, Golden Flash and Metallic Moment

 

Finally there was Whirlwind White, Blue Streak and Blue Brisk.

I paid £1.50 each for the Sally Hansen's and £2.50 for the base coat from http://www.fragrancedirect.co.uk and the postage was only £2.99 for first class and my order from Thursday night arrived this morning (Saturday). Would thoroughly recommend them for anyone interested. They have lots of discounted brands. ( even Butter London for £9.99)
