My first MAC polish....and I somehow don't think it will be my last either!! I love the bottle..its so sexy :-) Thanks J

I adore this colour, was love from first swatch!! lol so chuffed to have it in my stash :-)

Went a bit snap happy... just wanted to capture how sweet, creamy and dreamy it is!! This was 2 coats over 1 coat white - I heard a lot about the application so opted for some nail "underwear"!! Topped with seche (also a gift..mwah!) ...ooo I adore this colour!!

Enough gushing.. lol I'll let the MAC do the talking

TTFN lovelies.. hope your having a sweet Saturday night

Inspired by Lippman.... franken







So... since I am not in the US..I decided to franken up something Lippman-esque... now I did this a couple weeks ago.. recon its pretty much as I wanted, Hex glitter, holo fine glitter on a jelly base... DONE

Used various fine holo glitters, Claires chunky blue, WnW Noctural ..erm..maybe a drop of Black....

Its not a precise science .. but very simple to make! ..Click to see the lovely Hex glitter..yum

Anyhoo... I loves it... got many compliments on this one, any idea for a name???

May have a play around with my other chunky glitter, love this effect..looks like its floating in the jelly base... squishy :-)

Just a quickie post!

Having a quick break from revision... slapped this on... voila... yes I have teeny tiny nails right now.. am kind of getting used to them!! At the moment they feel weird and sore.. haven't had them this short in a long long time!

Anyhoo.. this colour is gorgeous.. applied perfectly, the little brush was perfect for me.. I am not a wide brush lover!

Would love some more of these... anyone know where us Brits can get them?? I know the old stockist has now closed down..boo!
