Wet N Wild - Sagreena The Teenage Witch

Hello Everyone

Today I have for you one of the polishes I received from the lovely Carla @ Deuce beauties in a swap. I received some amazing polish from her and Sagreena The Teenage Witch was one of the many included. This one however made squeal a little, not just because it's a wonderful green polish, Sabrina The Teenage Witch is my favourite show ever!!

Flash 

Artificial Light

This is 3 coats, not the best formula in the world but it sure glows. The flash shots are really amazing, and it's green! what more could a gal want?

So while I'm at it I thought I would take you down my childhood memory lane and introduce you to some of my favourite TV programmes as a kid. Wouldn't some of these be a great nail polish collection theme!

Sabrina The Teenage Witch

I swear, I'm such a big kid. I have the whole Sabrina collection on DVD.  To be fair, most of my DVD collection is either nostalgic TV shows or modern animation like Studio Ghibli. I can't stand films that are aimed to depress. Give me a good cartoon any day. My favourite character out of Sabrina? Salem Saberhagen of course!

Round The Twist

Round The Twist, another DVD box set in my collection. I loved this programme, it was so different and that little bit more gross then anything else on TV at the time. Particular favourite episode is the one where Bronson finds a green cabbage patch baby.

Moon Dreamers

I just loved this show as a small child. I did have it on VHS although I think I watched it to death.  Queen Scowlene used to scare the hell out of me.  

Knightmare

Ha ha, state of this! How dated does this look? Another show which sticks in my memory. I especially loved it when the contestants flew on the back of the dragon. I could never however grasp the concept of time freezing at that age and always wondered how the contestants ate and went toilet when frozen at the end of the show.

Fun House

I so wanted to be on Fun House as a kid and Finders Keepers. I totally thought my parents were not doing their parental duties by not getting me on the show ha ha. 

And a few others 

My So Called Life 

Morph 

Five Children and It

Galaxy High

This post was so self indulgent but so much fun!! So, any nostalgic memories? There are so many more to add to this list! Button moon, Thundercats, Racoons, Gummie Bears, Moomins, Stop it and Tidy up... I could go on forever!!! Okay I'm a little obsessed :o)

LA Girl Addict - Intoxicate

A very merry Xmas to you all!!

I haven't got a Christmas mani for you, tried a little stamping yesterday and it failed miserably! So I thought I would show the final polish out of the LA girl addict collection which I got from Cherry Culture - Intoxicate. My application was slightly sloppy on this one for some reason. I did try to be neat, honest. I just had one of them days when your really clumsy for no reason.


                                                                      Direct Sunlight

Shade

                                                                 Indoors with Flash

Eeek! sloppy application but swit swoo what a stunner of a polish! Intoxicate is a rich plum shade containing the same golden shimmer we've seen in the other two polishes I swatched here and here. The golden shimmer only really shows under artificial or direct sunlight. But look at that glow! AND nearly a one coater like the other two. These are currently still for sale on Cherry Culture online for $2.50 each (approx £1.60).

On another note, after seeing the upcoming Hunger Games Collection from China Glaze (google it if you haven't) I was like "Hunger Games? Huh? Who??" (Yes I'm light years behind everyone).  I've now bought the first book, and I'm currently at chapter 6. I'm liking it a lot although I keep on picturing Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Running Man for some reason?

Once again, enjoy your day tomorrow!!

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

LA Girl Addict - Idol

Afternoon Nail Poppers

Today I have one of the LA Girl Addict polishes I ordered from Cherry Culture a couple of weeks back. This is Idol, one of three which I ordered and the one I was looking forward to the most.

Outside - Natural Light

 Indoors - With Flash

Idol is a dusky navy creme containing golden shimmer. This is 1 coat, such good coverage. The shimmer didn't really show in the outdoor shots or much in real life, but it was a very gloomy day without much natural light. The flash shots show Idol's potential. Really like this shade, can't remember for the life of me how much I paid for this, although it wasn't much, a couple of pounds i think?

What do you think? Do you Idolise Idol?

LA Colors - Cactus

Hello Everyone

Hope your weekend is going wonderfully! Today I have another nail-tastic bargain, LA Color's - Cactus, a shade from their Color Craze line. I picked this up when I visited Westfields in Stratford last week in Beauty Base for an amazing 99p. Best 99pm I've spent in ages.

Cactus is a blue based jelly containing green and gold metallic shimmer. This was 2 coats. No problem at all applying this one. You've probably seen this already on a few other blogs. I love love love it. Best of all, I don't feel guilty about buying it at 99p.

Any LA color favourites? Recommendations?

Thanks for reading

Fugly Nails

Howdy Peeps

Today I have a very unusual colour a no name HCMJ polish which I picked up in a pound shop. It's a tan brown with green iridescent shimmer.

Excuse the middle finger, I knocked it then had to touch up which didn't work very well

This is 4 coats, very sheer and formula totally pants, it really was a nightmare to apply. Gloopy and smelly, but I kinda like the colour. I might see how this would look layered over something like Topshop's Bourbon.

Have a lovely week all
