Dynamo

This is a foil.. coming in at £3 on offer, half price... I wouldnt go up to £6 which is the RRP!!

Applied well, two coats over 1 coat SH NQ

Nice finish.. I am a bit anti shimmer, but this foil finish is gorgeous! One thing I must say is that the AVON swatches in the book dont look anything like the polishes..so your better off searching for swatches!

Liking this one a lot... have gone ahead and ordered the famous greens..hurrah! Be two weeks till they land, but well worth the wait :-)

Looking forward to a weekend in bed, reading and relaxing, have a great weekend guys!

Ciate topcoat revisisted....

yes I know..unheard of..3 days wearing something!! a/ have been too tired and b/ wanted to road test the topcoat for you lovelies!!

Well.. super shiny, good wear, no shrinkage! For me..the shrinkage is the bug bear with seche...

Its definitely comparable to seche, I may end up liking it more..but... its a bit early to say!!

It has dulled a tiny bit but I have been using oils, sunscreen yadayada! Overall I love it.. you apply just the same as SV..and its gorgeous,normally I would have tipwear... NO tipwear! Hurrah!

Here it is today.... not bad heh! ...it could go longer..but you know.. I cant go longer than 3 days with the same polish!!



Its definitely time for a fresh mani! phew!

The topcoat gets 5*

Getting good marks.. well some of you will know I was stressing so bad over my last assignment, ended up having a huge flare.. well I got a good mark.. I was so so chuffed!! My mummy even sent me a voucher for Primark to say well done! :-)


Paperchase .. I love stationary.. and I adore Paperchase.. went in for some gorgeous postcards to pop into a couple packages, could of stayed in there for hours..Mmmm.. girly goodness!!


OUT

Studying.. yes.. My energy is so **** right now, its a struggle, gonna get back on the bandwagon this week.. EU Law ahoy!

Fx ... I was hoping for new Tru Blood..oooh no..its old reruns.. I am chomping at the bit for season 3!!

Glitter .. I am just too tired, too lazy..or something to be scrubbing/foiling/toiling over removing polish for an hour every time I want a change!! ...if there is a magic trick..please someone tell me..I want to love glitter again!!


My unorganised stash...somehow I seem to have a lot of brands.. now this means a lot of odd bottles!! Am on the hunt for my helmer.. just finding someone to get it for me atm.. soon as I tidy the so similar-ish bottles are together, they get messed up!!

Smokey lilac ...& new topcoat!

So... I had a bit of a pootle on Thursday late night shopping, as usual Superdrug is my favourite! Picked up some bits for a friend....saw these BeautyUK polishes..they are on offer 2 for £3 ..have some lush colours.. Pretty much £3 is my limit per polish so these are fantastic!

Loving the colour - Smokey lilac, it dried fast, applied really well.... superb, will have to come back to rate the wear..but generally I think everything lasts with a good base/topcoat!! Applied better than some pricier ones I have!

Definitely check them out (and use your superdrug receipt 10% off code)

Oooo BarryM has 2 for £5 currently at Superdrug OR Boots has a deal, if you spend £6 on BarryM get a free limited edition gold top polish(is a pink -I wasn't fancying this..so gave it a miss!) ..also GOSH has some offers atm on various lip products & polish ...worth checking out!!

My beloved seche is nearly empty..and although I can go without easily ..especially with creme polish.. I thought I had better replace it.. finally went for Ciate top coat, was £3.99 ..so not too bad..plus postage.. this should last me a few months!



On first use.. dried fast, super glossy.. It even says on the packaging to wrap the tips!! which I did, and the finish is silky.. thumbs up so far!!

That's all for now folks..

I need a HUGE dramatic statement ring... help!

Yes I need to find a very big one..

I saw one of the judges on BNTM wearing one..and that was it..gotta find one!! ..Ooo it was Grace Woodward... mmm ..I want her ring..and her glasses/clothes!! (found this on Show me your Wardrobe)


you see that..THAT is a ring!!

Been getting more into jewellery.. obviously wear my engagement ring all the time, but the other hand needs jazzing up too! Have been picking up rings here and there..mainly Primark...

I got this one tonight in H&M for £1.99... DEAL!!

Really am looking for something even bigger than this, maybe round ..if you guys spot anything like this, a real statement ring...please drop me a comment!!

For now this faux pearl has brightened my evening... such a hectic day... My brain is zapped!! Time for a cuppa!!

AVON Mambo Melon

Avon Mambo Melon... this is one of the speed dry ones.. they really do dry fast..no seche needed, although of course I did go ahead and topcoat these!

Ordered with this one Dynamo..well for £3 they were a steal!!




Must say I like Avon polishes a lot!! The offers are fab too.. oh and they finally have the GREENS in the UK Catalogue this month, hurrah! They have different names, but are the same ones.. Peppermint leaf (the jade) & Green with envy are the UK names! £3 at the moment, hurrah!
