Rainbow Nails Challenge - Day 2 - Orange...

I am going to admit now that orange really isn't my favourite colour. However, due to a recent donation from my lovely mum I did get into it a tad.

Well you asked for orange and you are going to get it.

I started with these, I couldn't choose a favourite. So, had to improvise

The polishes I have used are.... ( from left to right)

Miss Sporty 452

Technic - Juicy Jelly

Color Club - unnamed (came in a set)

Nina Ultra Pro - Orange Flame

Color Club - unnamed ( came in a set)

Miss Sporty - 326

I used Miss Sporty 452 as my base, and my thumb developed spots of the lovely Technic Juicy Jelly

Then came some dots of the colour club peach on my index finger

Then we got some dots on my middle finger with the lovely neon Orange Flame

Dots on my ring finger in Colour Club orange sparkly no named!

Then finally my pinky gets some dots in Miss Sporty 326

 

And this is the final result on all the nails!

MSE Nail Art Challenge - 1st Week - Red Nails

Buoyed up with enthusiasm a few of us girls from the MSE nail polish addicts thread ( http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=3779621) decided to do our own little challenge. So, we are taking the 31 day challenge a little more leisurely at 1 challenge a week.

This week is red, so to do something different I decided to have a half shiny, half matte finish.

I started with a wonderful coat of Revlon Cherry Crush as it is such a rich red, then taped the middle of my fingers using french manicure stickers. Then, I painted everything below the line with Rimmell Matte finish. I am quite pleased with the result, but think it would have looked even better with a colour which showed the difference more. Maybe on top of a neon?

What do you think?

Rainbow Nails challenge, day 1 - Red

It is the first time I have taken part in anything like this, but I quite fancied the challenge. So, here is my attempt.

I decided to do the most red thing I could imagine, so started with a layer of China Glaze Ruby Pumps on all my fingers, but wanted to do something a bit more special as in such good company even Ruby pumps wouldn't cut it. So, I have done a feature nail on my ring finger with China Glaze 'Love Marilyn' which I absolutely adore. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I have!

Roll on day 2...

So Many Polishes, So Little Time!

I cannot believe it has been a month since my last post, and such alot has happened in this time. I had so many good intentions, but within two days my sister broke her leg and is in a cast and I had a new puppy, so time for polish and blogging has completely gone out the window.

However, having recently returned from a wonderful break in Tenerife I am back with a bang. Decided before I got there that I would indulge myself with some new polishes from brands that I can't get in the UK. All good so far, except I didn't realise how bloomin difficult it would be to find the things. All of the main perfume shops have unbranded polish and the usual Dior/Chanel/Lancome etc, but I was really after Essence and Catrice, and in the end I wasn't disappointed.

So, my purchases were...

7 Catrice beauties and from left to right they are...

600 ~After Eight
740 - King of Greens
400 - Blue Cara Ciao
C04 - Be Indieglow
350 - Hip Queens Wear Blue Jeans
200 - From Dusk till Dawn
770 - Put Lavender on the Agenda
630 - Sing : Hey, Dirty Lilah!
420 - Dirty Berry

Then some lovelies from Essence

01 - Circus Confetti which appears to be a bit of a dupe for Models Own Ibiza Mix
03 - Hello Holo - a holographic multi coloured glitter
11 - Disco Disco - holographic glitter with holographic glitter squares
09 - Copper'ize Me! Copper/Red/Russet holographic glitter
01 - Purpulicious - holographic purple glitter
10 - Glorious Aquarius - multi sized holographic glitter with square glitter pieces


08 - Love potion - Copper magnetic nail polish
01 - hex hex! - Charcoal Grey magnetic nail polish

 -

L to R
Ciate Bon Bon - Free with Marie Claire Magazine
DP Cosmetics green magnetic polish
Sinful Colours - Opal Glitter
Sinful Colours - Tokyo Glitter
Sinful Colours - Noelle
Sinful Colours - Daddys Girl ( this is a very deep purple with a glitter undercurrent, but doesn't photograph well at all)

L to R

Essence - 77 In Style
Essence - 56 Got a Secret
Essence - 78 Blue Addicted - blue/green glitter
Essence - 43 Wheres the party - a chrome looking colour shifter from green to purple

I cannot wait to get these little beauties on my fingers, just wish I had brought more!

EDITED

Well, I have had a bit of a bargain over the past couple of days, so I thought I would share it with you. I popped into our local town centre to Superdrug hopefully to get my hands on the new Barry M colour changing polish. But came across a sale on their Accessorize range. All of their metallic one coat chromes were half price! So, I helped myself to one of each on the basis that they would be good to stamp with.. here is a picture of the little darlings...

While I was there I also got my hands on the wonderful NYC Mint Macaroon and Lavendar Cupcake for £2.49, another 2 accesorize normal colours for £1.50 each, a colour changing Barry M ( the original intended purchase). I also was given a free Barry M polish in superdrug by the lovely lady in there, and my husband got me a technic seafoam!
