Models Own Silver Fox & Some Glittery Layering

Well everyone I am really getting into the party season and was craving some glitter.

I chose Models Own Silver Fox.

First I did 1 coat of Essie Loophole and then layered 1 coat of Silver Fox. I LOVE this sooo much. It was subtle enough to wear for work but pretty enough for people to notice. The only down side is that it took 3 coats of Orly Sec 'n' Dry topcoat and it still was a tiny bit bumpy. Sec 'n' Dry is the thinnest topcoat I have ever used though. Does anyone else have a similar opinion?

So I got home and went absolutely crazy with my other Models Own Glitters and Color Club's Magic Attraction.


Thumb - Silver Fox & Magic Attraction, Index - Silver Fox & Magenta Divine & Emerald City & Gold Finger, Middle - Silver Fox & Magenta Divine, Ring - Silver Fox & Magenta Divine & Gold Finger, Little - Silver Fox & Gold Finger.

All of the above are topped with 1 coat of Magic Attraction to give it extra sparkly holoness :)

I think these could give some of the OPI Burlesque glitters a run for their money!

Now I've got to try and get these off. Does anyone have a chisel?!

Nails Inc London & 17 Cosmic Heather

After reading The Swatchaholic's post about jazzing up your nudes, I decided to give it a go.

I did 2 coast of Nails Inc - London (Part of the buy 2 bottles of diet coke and get 1 Nails Inc polish free)


This is a lovely light taupey beige. Apologies for the blob on the middle finger - I had a hair on my nail and this was the result after brushing it until the little mite came off. I fixed this with Avon Smudge Fixer afterwards.

Then I put 1 coat of 17 Cosmic Heather...


Cosmic Heather is a lilac based sheer with a golden shimmer. I'm not sure whether this is still available as I got it quite a while ago. I hope you'll agree that these are a winning formula together.

Thank you to The Swatchaholic for putting this idea in my head - it's perfect for someone not wanting to wear a work appropriate colour!

I hope you've all had a nice weekend.

Ahhh! Something Good At Last!

Today I picked up this little pretty. It's a Superdrug make called 2True and this is shade 10 - £1.95! I bought it because I thought I could make an Adina looka-a-like with it in future. A pink base with a green shimmer - SO gorgeous!!

I put one coat of this over one coat of Nails inc Belgrave Place. Belgrave Place is the most perfect blurple. It is quite blue - reminds me of a spilt ink cartridge from when I was at school.

Anyway...then I tried 2 and got this...

One coat gives it a subtle green shimmer but 2...woah! The green shimmer PLUS pink duochromeness!!! The duochrome was hard to capture but you can see it a bit in the picture above.

Aaaah. I feel much better now. This is just what I needed. I am a happy girl again :)

Hot Glittery Neon-ness!

Above is 2 coats of Essie Mini Shorts - An orange neon. I love this colour - it is actually a few shades redder and MUCH neon in real life!

I wanted to try out my nfu oh so I put one layer of #81 over the top.

This has a pinky orange base with pink and yellow/gold glitter. As you can see it is very fine and subtle on the nail but I really like it. I wanted to try and make a colour similar to BB Couture's Painted Lady. I saw a swatch on Dr. Frankenpolish's blog a while ago and have been lusting over it ever since and although this is close, it's no cigar!

There are definately quite a few BB's that I NEED in my collection so I think I will be doing a mini haul later this month.

Do you have any recommendation for where to get BB's from?

Gosh - Golden Brown

So today is day 3 of my mani with Prince Charming! Can you believe it? I normally change my polish every day/every other at the very least. I just can't get enough of Prince Charming though. I had some tipwear - not alot, could have got another days worth - but just really couldn't be bothered to remove it and start again, so instead I decided to do a little layering.

I put one layer of Gosh Golden Brown over the top of PC.


I can just sum this colour up by likening to a bar of galaxy caramel. It looks simply edible. This is a little sheer as you can still see the tipwear, but it's fine over another colour.

I bought this in the beginning of the year. It was in a basket of discounted random stuff put at the tills in my local Superdrug - so don't know if it's continued or what?

Anyway, it's Thursday tomorrow which means we're at the home run til the weekend!
