easily bored with mani.....Attention: ModelsOwn 50% off sale!

So I just couldn't leave it be last night, so added Nailene pearl white on tips and put another coat NYC over the top... soft..but nice effect







Had a chance to give the Sally Hansen Purifying Hand wash a good go, really like it, I always apply cuticle oil after washing. Gives a really good clean hands feeling, lavender smell...light not sickly! All in all great, especially for 99p!!



Assuming this is a discontinued product, or something available in US. If you have a Poundland or 99p store- have a rummage, they always have tonnes of Sally Hansen goodies!





Okay so here are polishes to be tried


Beverly Hills Plum topcoat- have used, but technically not for a full mani as it was intended!


Rimmel wear maxx - fantastic deal...99p land


And..the two previously mentioned Nails inc xmas pressies- this week I will use these!!! my boyfriend keeps going.." is that one I got you...." ...err this week I will say.. Yes it is!!


Need to thank MUA nail board...and this lovely blogger www.just-nice-things.co.uk

for alerting me to the fab sale @ Models Own this weekend, its 50% off, code FIFTYFIFTY. Go get em!!

After seeing all the fabulous swatches.. I had to have some, my lovely boyfriend got these for me as valentines pressie!!

Ordered : Utopia, Silver sparkles, Blue Sparkles, Disco Mix & Bubblegum!! cant wait to get them...will review and swatch em!

Anyways am feeling a little under the weather still so thats all for now

NYC East village...




Bit of a flop to be fair!!


This is four coats, its super super thin!! Will see how it wears.... looks nice, topped it up with two coats of super shiney after the photos.

I am re-trying an old product...SH Hard as wraps... okay so..I am not content JUST with no breaks in 5 weeks..I want gorgeous..fake looking..THICK..nails lol..so going to try this..along with my trusty nail envy...one break..and its off...

I really should just stick to one product lol...I blame makeupalley lovely nail board for making me a product junkie lol

Anyway....it is a nice teal..but I wanted..deeper..richer..lush...and it isnt quite there!!

Currently am creating a list of China glaze polishes to get next month- never tried any, so its a bit hit and miss. Fingers crossed they are better than OPI!! Any suggestions on colours, leave a comment

Anyway...have a feeling me and East Village will be falling out of love within a day!!

GOSH Holographic





Three coats, bit tricky to work with...but well worth the trouble!!

Just a quickie...

Got some fantastic deals today

99p store, Sally Hansen hand wash- moisturising, lavender and citrus & Maximum growth colour in Opal Truth. Was looking at getting some Sally Hansen from Cosmetics4less , thought I would try out the formula first.

Everything is better with sparkles...



I just couldn't keep a plain nude mani....so...tada..Bling my nails!! Much better!!

Am itching to do a manicure but managed to cut my thumb....so keeping acetone out of it is a priority!!

Have been very bad...bought a few things, Superdrug have half off selected GOSH polishes right now, too good to miss!!

NYC- East village....drooled over this colour for a whole week...so enough already

GOSH- Holographic...OMGGGG

GOSH- Snow..so sweet.. bit opal like.. think it will rock for nail art..or a I don't have time mani!!








OMG...the GOSH halo...is just...gorgeous...cant wait to do weekend mani!






My ebay stuff is still AWOL..guess I only did order it a week ago..patience is not a virtue I possess!!
No more hauling for me for this month..seriously...lol at this rate will be a super skinny and surrounded by nail polish!!

Waiting for my nail looty!

Yes I still have xmas polishes I haven't used...

I love the glossy finish of nails inc...gorgeous!!

This is Basil street- perfect nude for darker skintones, Duke street- grey, lilac (more grey than OPI Lilac it) and Savoy court - ultraviolet...gorgeous!! My boyfriend got me these..all came with gorgeous charms... (oh on the end is just the Caviar top coat!)

Okay so I am eagerly waitin for a delivery of nail stuff at the moment, However am completely lusting after the OPI Alice in Wonderland stuff... I think I may have to order the miniatures!!

Trying to get hold of the Nubar glitters- blue and red...but so pricey in the UK, cheapest I found was £8.99 which is about $14!! a lot for glitters!!

ohhh...makeupalley guys have convinced to me to get the Seche vite...my Nails inc topcoat is nearly finished so..why not!! I have a CND Super Shiney on its way...I guess I better give it a go first!!

Hoping my ebay stuff comes by the end of the week.... I feel some haulage coming on tomorrow..on the hunt for the Claire's megaglitter polishes..not sure if they even do it here..gonna have a wee look tomorrow

Anyways...TTFN fellow nail junkies
