Suzi loves cowboys



This little lovely came with a recent QVC purchase... oops... was a bargin, avoplex lotion, cuticle pen and polish for under £20... had to be done!

This was
1 coat bonder
2 coats OPI
2 coats - Save the nail 45 second top coat (made by Nails inc)

I do love OPI ..only wish it was a tad cheaper here...now dribbling over the muppets collection!

I am hosting a NP swapshop in the morning, should be a lot of fun...will snap some pictures..and hopefully come home with some new NP - Have a whole bag full to take!! as well as nail art stuff!!

Not like the movies








Not like the movies

This one I have wanted for a longg time... was going to wait until my nails grew, but couldn't wait to swatch it!! Thanks again to J for getting it for me :-)

This is 3 coats, it doesn't want to photograph nicely, but I think you can see the shimmery duochrome.. yummy :-)

The nail envy is working..veerry slowly but surely.. my non swatching hand seems to be growing faster- fantastic! LOL They are slowly getting there!! Have started wearing washing up gloves for everything in a mission to preserve my nails!

Thanks for all your kind comments - you guys are migraine experts & nail experts :-) I have another migraine review later this week, hopefully changing some of my meds will help!

Have a lovely week lovelies

Red my fortune Cookie






So.... this one I have been wanting sooo long..finally I took the dive..ordered it from ebay..cost me around $4.99.. pretty damn good!

I don't have many OPI so I forgot how tricky the big brush is ...ha.. so messy!! I found it very hard to control..but it was worth it...man the colour is gorgeous!!

This is 2 coats, topped with seche.. excuse the random shrinkage on two fingers.. I should of used the fresh bottle of seche ... (me being tight and wanting to finish the dregs up in my old bottle!! doh!)

I have a love from creme polish...and this is..on the cusp...nearly not.. nearly jelly.. but deffo creme..gorgeous!!

I have so many lemmings its unreal right now..but my NP has outgrown its home..till I sort out my helmer .. yes I have been trying to sort it for a year..LOL I really shouldn't buy anymore lol ... I have a feeling the fiance's daughter may help me in purging some nail polish out next week mind!!

I got a few little bits from ebay... Seche...essential.. This little beauty.. Starboard and First Mate..those will be coming up shortly :-)

Show it & glow it




.... Show it & Glow it

This is one of the Burlesque collection...wee so chuffed to have two of these :-)

This is two coats, topped with seche! A thin coat.. my seche appears to be vanishing at an alarming rate!! lol ...A little bumpy..but sure another coat would smooth it out!

I thought these would need a full 3 coats, but 2 is pretty good coverage! Ace..cos I just know removal of this one is going to be a serious chore!!

Can totally see this one as an xmas mani :-) .. will see how well it wears for the next few days! Got a hectic schedule... so hoping this will wear like iron!

That's all for now, the silly snow is driving me nutty now..cant get out and about properly! Boo! -3 Tonight... brrr... Keep warm lovelies!!

.. MPJ .. well (my mums MPJ)



This isn't mine, its my mums..she kindly let me use it for a party :-) ...I think it must be her topcoat cos it was chipping off like mad after 1 night!! I made a wee pitstop in London last weekend.... of course my previous mani did not survive travel, suitcase and many many revision notes!

Either way..its gorgeous.. this deffo has a lot of holo in it..but is not THE HOLO version...

My ma has been frankening polish with this..(omg!!) lol Glad I got to try it out for one mani, deffo would love to get my grubby mitts on the holo one!

(my nails are wrecked...excuse them.. need to chop them off ASAP!)

Anyways lovelies that's all for now... back to studying

Forget what I said about Shimmer... OPI Wing it!







OPI Wing it...

I wanted to make this look as close to in the bottle as possible, Pink & Orange shimmer, so I layered this over Sinful Pink Creme - after playing various layering games with it on a nail wheel...and.. I think it brings out the shimmer.. on its own it would be very sheer!!layered up like this.... I love it!

Yesterday I said I usually don't like shimmer.... well I think I am warming to it :-) Thanks to J for this one :-) So pleased with it, I only have maybe 4 OPI so pleased to have another one :-)

I took lots of snaps.... I will let the OPI do the talking!









Have a fab weekend all... day of snoozing and studying for me!
