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.

A Sad Day

I have been to a funeral today. My husband lost his uncle, so my nails were suitably sombre. It felt strange, because I usually love them bright. but it was perfect for the occasion.

The colour is W7 'Cosmic Black'. It goes on matte with a very slight shimmer. But I wanted things to be more dull if possible, so used a coat of Leighton Denny 'Make it Matter'.

RIP Ray, the world is a poorer place without you.

On The Train To 50%

Today feels a little momentous really. I have reached 1/3 of my stash which has been used. It actually feels quite liberating. Also, when I have got most of the way through my stash then I can buy more :)

Today is the day for a lovely red. Not a colour I wear often, but I think it looks quite lovely. Its Ma Cherie by Orly. For the tips I have used W7 Lava Flow which is a pale grey/white with tiny black, grey and metallic red glitter in it.

Must admit I really like the effect, and would like to try something similar with W7 Mosaic ( but can't as I have already used it :( )

Tuesday's Blue

Bit of a pun on the song from The Cure, but its a good one so why not. 

Got this new polish from W7, 'Multi Dazzle'. it is really lovely. This is one coat over Catrice, Blue Cara Ciao. It was a bit to bright for what has been a grey almost flooded day. But I think bringing a bit of brightness into the world is a good thing. 

Although this was tip wear after 12 hours with one coat of Seche Vite, so its pretty awful. I do spend most of the my day typing though, so that does give it a bit of an excuse. 

Inside I know I want to try Multi Dazzle over other polishes, maybe a bright orange like Rusty But Sexy. Oooh yeah!

 

31 Days Nail Art Challenge #24 Inspired by a Book

Yesterday was a rubbish day, and even though I had planned my post I never had chance to make it. I apologise to the other challengers, it was never my intention to be late.

Anyway, enough grovelling lets get onto the nails.

I based my manicure on a book which touched the heart of someone I care alot about. It is called A Million Little Peices by James Frey. It is written as a memoir, although he has since admitted that it is partially fiction. The cover looks like this.

As I don't have a glitter which fits the bill properly I decided to mix my own and used a bit of Sinful Colors Opal Glitter, W7 Cosmic Green and Color Clubs Candy Cane and placed them over a base of Color Club French Tip. Here are the results

31 Day Challenge #5 Blue

So we are already on day 5, and it doesn't feel so bad. Still got the stamina in me to keep going.

For my blue I have just gone for polish, no stamps, no stripes. But the polish does have little shimmery sprinkles! I chose W7 mosaic which i similar to the new Nails Inc polishes. The formula was lovely, and went on really well. I loved the finish, but wish I had put something on it like a deep blue or gold stripe to match what was in the polish itself. Maybe next time.

Overall I would buy more from this range ( I already have the Lava Flow untried)
