Eyeko - Military Polish (for Brave Nails)

Hi everyone,

Today I have my first Eyeko polish and the newest addition to the site - Military Polish for Brave Nails.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this!!! It applied great and had full coverage in 2 coats. It's perfect and smooth and really saturated. This is a very dark khaki green. Quite flattering with my skin tone and I think looks pretty darn chic.

I did quickly swatch my other Eyeko's and some seemed a bit watery but covered well in 2 coats. I ordered Cosmic, Vampira, Indigo, Lilac, Military and got Rain free because I spent over £10! Free delivery was super quick - I ordered Wednesday and got them yesterday.

I'm very impressed with these and will probably be ordering some more when I get back from holiday. Oh by the way I have decided on colours - Travelling in Orly Ole, then taking Eyeko Lilac Polish and Orly Luxe. Think I will even do toes to match!

Hope you have a good rest of the evening.

Tilly, xx

Orly - It's Not Rocket Science

Hello everyone!

I finally have a weekend to myself so can actually do a post for you!
These last couple of weeks have been pretty hectic - last Thursday was my boyfriends graduation which kinda went on til Sunday, and we're going on holiday Wednesday so I've been busy getting ready for that. The graduation was really fun and I was so proud of him when he collected his degree :) ...the after party was quite crazy and we ended up somehow smashing the lense of my camera so for the moment I am taking pictures on my phone! Sorry in advance.

Anyway, today I have the pleasure of showing you Orly's It's Not Rocket Science.

3 easily appliable coats.

This is a mesmerizing colour - olivey/swampy green base with green gold shimer fx.

I find it hard to find words to describe the polishes in this collection they are just so gorgeous.

I need real help deciding what polishes to take away with me. I'd like to go in BB Couture Sea of Cortez, then I'm thinking to take Luxe and I just invested in some Eyeko's and love the look of Lilac. But then I kinda want a coral so would like to take Essie Peach Daqiuri and then I wonder if I might want something vampy...but I'm only going for a week!!! Lol. What have you taken on holiday this year??

Misa - Dirty, Sexy, Money!

Hi everyone. Hope you are ok this Monday.

Today I have the pleasure of showing you Misa's Dirty, Sexy, Money. This is a stunning merky green with a hint of teal. It's really hard to describe actually. Think khaki and then add a hint of blue. Look...


It is actually a bit less blue toned than this in real life, but this is the closest I could get. This is 3 coats with base and top. It is really a 2 coater, but I applied it really badly (due to me being an idiot and not turning a light on) so needed the 3rd to even out the sides where I missed!

This is the first Misa I have tried and I can't wait to try more. This colour is so interesting and unique and it applied really well. It also dried really shiney and didn't actually need a top coat, but I did one anyway out of habit.

I can totally understand the hype over this polish - it is......erm...I can't actually think of an appropriate word. Awesome? Yeah, a less cheesy version of awesome!

Superdrug MUA - Shade 5

Hello everyone. This is pretty late for me so I'm going to be quick because my eyelids want to shut!

I hope you all had a nice weekend. I stumbled across the new £1 make-up range that Superdrug are now doing - Makeup Academy. I got 3 polishes and a really sparkly gold glitter eyeliner (maybe I'll do an FOTD with it?)


These are shade 1 - the deep sapphire shimmer, shade 2 - the black, I actually didn't own a plain black until this :O, and shade 5 - the Tiffany style blue/green.

I decided to give shade 5 a whirl and this was the result.


Taken so you can see the likeness to the Tiffany blue? Is it blue or green? I need help on this one! Anyway, this was 3 coats. I still have a slightly vnl but I quite like it. I actually really liked the look it had with 2 coats (definately more noticable vnl) but decided to do a 3rd to see the true colour. Oh, and sorry for the huge flash - it was night time :(

These are pretty good little polishes! They have a really wide choice of shades and are lovely colours too. I am guessing that for the darker colours you may need more layers than the lighter ones, but we will see. I think that the blue is next on my list to swatch - it's such a deep and sparkly sapphire colour.

Has anyone else got any of these yet?

OPI - Fiercely Fiona

Just a quick post before I go to the boyos for the weekend. I'm going to try and keep it on for the whole 3 days!



Fiercely Fiona is an awesome colour as you probably know - there are mega loads of swatches around.
This is 3 coats. Me and Fiona didn't get on too great. It was sooo streaky on the first 2 coats and I still have bald spots on my pinky and ring finger but I am not doing a 4th coat! (I have to go to work in 10 mins and it will never dry!!!)

Did you have any problems with FF?

I'll be checking comments today and we'll be away Saturday and Sunday. So I hope you all have glorious weekends and that you get some sunshine :)

China Glaze Re-fresh Mint & GOSH Rainbow

As you can see, I've had a bit of a play around with backgrounds and colours. I'm in no way HTML savvy, so I have just used a background from a website. I wanted something a bit vintagey but not too sickly and girly. I think it works, let me know what you think and if you have any help/ideas/input - they are greatly appreciated.

I have something interesting for you today...


My only China Glaze - Re-fresh Mint. 2 coats.

I really like this colour, it's nice and summery. It's sooo grey and cloudy where I am today so unfortunately haven't got great pictures again. But this is colour accurate and in real life it doesn't make my skin look so red. I guess the green in the varnish draws all the green out of my skin in a photograph?

I decided to add something special so I put one layer of GOSH Rainbow over the top.



I LOVE this. Again, it hasn't pictured greatly due to the sun and when I tried using flash it just made the whole picture white. The flakes have flashes of yellow, green and peach when on top of the mint green. I think I may be alone here but I'm going to put this out there...I prefer these flakies over lighter polish. To me it's just nicer as a subtle effect rather than being so bold over blacks etc.

What do you think?
