Topshop - Nails in Lead

Hello Everyone,

It's been quite a while since my last post. Today I have Topshop's - Lead. This colour was originally released in 2010 as part of their Heavy Metal Collection but now Topshop have released it into their core line.

This is 2 coats of Lead. Great coverage on this, really opaque in one coat. Lead is a gunmetal grey almost black with a green/blue/purple duochrome. Has tiny micro-particles which shimmer in direct light. Really pretty. Glad Topshop brough this back. Price £6.00 from Topshop.

Hidden Shimmer...Accessorize - Colorado

Hello Everyone.

Yup its still raining here in London. We've had approximately 0% sunshine this Summer. I know moaning about the weather is a British pastime but seriously, I've not worn my sandals at all this year! Eurgh. Onto polish talk. Today's polish was released by Accessorize for the Spring, its part of a collection consisting of American themed shades. This one is called Colorado.

Flash 

Natural Light

This is 3 coats of Colorado. Its a light grey shade containing the most pretty pinkish hidden shimmer. It has a real ethereal feel to it. Thought I wasn't going to like this one much but I think I like it the most. The shimmer isn't as prominent I would have hoped, but still a very nice and unique colour. Price £2.95 (I think?) from Superdrugs.

Tried this one?

A-England Legend Collection - Ascalon

Afternoon Everyone

I'm supposed to be on a study day today, although not much studying happening to be truthful. Today's choice of polish? A-England -Ascalon. 

FLASH 

The sun wasn't being my friend today. I went to work yesterday in the blazing sunshine. Day off today...it's cloudy!. Sods law. This is 2 coats of Ascalon, a grey base holo with a purple/green duochrome. Formula was once again perfect. Loved this one on. You can see the purple colour shift more in the flash shots. Dragon is still my favourite so far though.

Glitter Gal - 10 to Midnight!

Afternoon nail poppers

Today I have the luxury of having a very rare day off :-) so I'm relaxing in front of the computer. Remember when I said I wanted more glitter gal holos? Well I made another polish order at Llarowe's shop and ordered myself this beauty, Glitter Gal - 10 to Midnight.

Flash 

Natural Light

This is another polish which I think is gorgeous in natural light without the holo effect. This is 2 coats, not as opaque as Lizard Belly but still applied superbly. 10 to Midnight is described as a charcoal grey holo. Looks a slightly gun metal grey in certain lights. This is also a limited edition colour so get it while you can. 

ALSO don't forget to enter my 400 follower giveaway where you can win the complete W7 Metallics (Duochrome) Collection!! (here)

Available @ Llarowe's shop here and Glitter Gal online.

LA Girl Addict - Disorder

Hello Everyone!!

I feel like its been ages since I wrote my last post...I was getting blogger withdrawal symptoms big time. I'm finally at home for the holidays (yay!) although last week was so crappy, but at least it will make me appreciate this week more.

Today I have the second of my LA Girl Addict collection - Disorder. I actually thought this was a khaki shade, but it's a murky grey. Still gorgeous.

Indoors - Artificial Light

With Flash

This was very nearly a 1 coater like Idol although the gold shimmer is much more prominent in Disorder, making it a warm grey. It does have a green tone so I wasn't totally mad thinking it was a dark khaki.

I wish I ordered more of this collection, I love the murky/dusky shades combined with the gold shimmer. I have one more to show you which I will hopefully get done this week.

Have a great week

Liquorice Nails - Boots 17 Magnetic Nail Polish - Grey

Howdy folks

After showing you three Boots 17 Magnetic Nail polishes last week, I was still missing one of the collection, Grey. So of course I had to have it!

I love it! It looks like liquorice. I'm liking this season's nail trend very much. My boyfriend even let me paint his nails with this! I already had polish on and we were round a friends house. I wanted to try it out. He agreed for a laugh.  He usually takes the micky out of my nail polish obsession, but when I painted them, he seemed quite taken with it and kept on staring at his nails, it was hilarious! He wouldn't let me take any pictures though, which was a shame :-)

So verdict? Boots 17 Magnetic Polish Rocks or Not?...IT totally Rocks!

My 50th Post - Gosh Holographic

Hi All

My 50th post!!! So something special is required - Gosh Holographic. It's a pain to apply but when it's on the nail...Wowza booooootiful. Warning super duper pic heavy.

I was totally lucky with getting this one while it was available, which makes a change! I don't own many holographic polishes but this is the most holographic one I own. I have ordered some spectraflair off the lovely Kitties26  @ More Nail Polish and eagerly awaiting its arrival. So excited!! I'm going to make some concoctions yay!!

I am also planning to hold a giveaway if I reach 100 followers. I already have a rare discontinued OPI polish lined up as one of the prizes. I'm going to pick up a few more bits though.

If any of you lovely readers could help a gal out and add me to their blog roll I would really appreciate it. :-)

Once again thanks for reading!

Andrea Fulerton Nail Boutique- Nail Tattoos Skull and Cross Bones

Hello All

Since my Andrea Fulerton pics have been generating a lot of interest, I thought I would show you some pics of Andrea Fulerton's Skull and Cross Bones Nail Tattoos. I used this in my mani ages ago but never got round to posting.

I used Color Club Revvvolution as a base and used one of the Nail Tattoos on my index finger. The pics of Revvvolution do not do it any justice because it was indoors, so I will probably swatch this one again for you. The nail tattoo looked great on and removed easily with polish remover.

Purchased from Superdrugs for £1.99

Enjoy
