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.

Glitter Gal - Lizard Belly

Hello Everyone

Is it just me or does January really feel surreal? My whole body clock is out of wack and I'm struggling to get up in the morning. I feel like I've just spent my first week back to normality in a complete daze. Ergh. I hope next week will be better.

Despite the dodgy week, an order which I put in at Llarowe's arrived this week. For MONTHS I had been stalking this beauty and sulking that I couldn't afford any international polish, so with some well appreciated Christmas gift money I treated myself to my own Glitter Gal - Lizard Belly.

In shade

I included the shade shots of this stunner as I think it shows the incredible shade of green which Lizard Belly possesses. Even if this wasn't holographic I think this would still be an amazing polish. I paid $14 dollars for a 9ml bottle. For me it's worth every penny, and Llarowe's delivery was super quick. This is two coats. Perfection.

My only problem is I WANT MORE :-)

Enjoy all

Dollish Polish - Toxic Avenger

Hello Everyone

3 more sleeps til Christmas. I haven't wrapped one blooming present up! so behind tut tut. Today I have for you one of the frankens I purchased off Etsy from Dollish Polish - Toxic Avenger. Saw this on a couple of other blogs and it looked amazing. I wanted it so bad.

Shade

My pictures do this polish no justice, it's 1000 times better then what my pictures show. Toxic Avenger is a glass flecked duochrome holo!! Think Orly Space Cadet with some holo goodness. Toxic Avenger has that same blue jelly base. I paid $4.25 for 5mls (about £2.70). So wish the bottles were bigger...might have to stock up on this bad boy.


ALSO I won another giveaway!!! woo woo. I won Tokki and Oliver's Christmas Giveaway. Her prize was a mystery goody bag and it arrived yesterday! Look at the amazing prizes I got! I got my first Julep nail polish. I'm so very grateful to Tokki and Oliver, so check her blog out it's a great read!

That's all for now folks.

Beetle Larvae - A Scarab Spranken

Hello Nail poppers

Finally the sun came out for a split second this week for me to photograph the holo franken I created using Illamasqua - Scarab and MUA - Shade 7. I also used some Barry M - Red Black and some Nails Inc - Saville Row in this one as sometimes spectraflair can dilute a shade making it less vibrant.

Here it is...Beetle Larvae

Shade

Sunlight

Flash

Really pleased with this one, I think its quite christmassy too. More of a scattered holo in comparison to other sprankens I've made. Of course I could have used my holo topcoat over Scarab, but it wouldn't have been so fun :-)

Have a wonderful evening all!!

OPI - Blue Moon Lagoon

Hello Everyone

Well its mighty miserable weather at the mo, with record storms hitting the UK, I thought I would show you a polish which conjures up imagery of sun, sea and holidays, OPI - Blue Moon Lagoon.

This is 4 coats of Blue Moon Lagoon. Had no problems with application, although it is quite sheer could of done with another coat. All pics taken indoors under flash. Blue Moon Lagoon is a light turquoise holo. Really like this shade, I think it has calming and tranquil properties (waffling again).  On a serious note, it is a very subtle shade and very pretty. Can't remember how much I paid for this one? Although I'm sure it was under £7.00 on ebay.

And now, Blue Lagoon in the Bahamas...I'm so over the winter and cold weather already :-) Can I celebrate Christmas here please??

Midnight Holo

Hello there!

After seeing a bazillion A-England Tristam swatches, I knew what I wanted. BUT I'm skint and currently on a 'no buy' ban til after Christmas. Being a student and having a unhealthy love of expensive polish is a not just a bad mix, it's a damn travesty! There is so many polishes I want right now. My budget just doesn't stretch far enough.

So I needed an alternative until January arrives. I dug out one of my favourite gorgeous blue shimmers, Rimmel - Midnight Blue. I painted 2 coats then used 1 coat of my home made holographic topcoat.

These pics were taken on a sunny but very misty day, as the sun was setting. My camera wasn't picking up the gorgeous holo-y effect I was seeing. So I decided to take some indoor flash shots for you all.

Darker then Tristam I think from the web pics? but I love this combo! I had this on for 3 days, I lurvvve it so much. It looks much linear in reality. THEN I thought well...while I'm at it, why not an attempt at a duochrome-holo like an Ozotic Pro Mish Mash? (another polish collection that I will never see *sob*).

Rimmel Midnight Blue + Holo Topcoat + 1 coat Red-Green Colour Changing Topcoat.

I've been seeing  a lot of Galaxy Nails posts in the 31 day nail challenge. I haven't got the patience or skills to attempt the challenge, but I think this wouldn't be a bad 'Galaxy Nails' mani.

What do you all think? Sorry for the huge amount of pics, I get a little over excited :-D
