NAILS: Instagram Nails

Hey guys and dolls,

I have a tendency to paint my nails on occasion. But I don't always post on my blog what I put on my instagram. So I thought I'd put up a collection of those unseen nail looks here.

Taste the Rainbow NOTD

Hey dolls,

If you follow me on instagram you would've seen me upload a NOTD photo. I just felt like doing something fun.

 My nails kind of remind me of skittles like this.

The polishes used:

OPI - The Thrill of Brazil

Barry M - Spring Green

Barry M - Cyan Blue

Avon (Arabian Glow collection) - Sunshine

Sonya

OPI Germany Collection

Hey dolls,

£6.40

I am in LOVE with this collection. Me being in love with something seems to be a recurring thing on my blog lol, but I am.I wish I had gotten to try shades from the full collection cos some of those shades were amazing. But I'm happy with the ones I got to try.

Ger-Minis

Don't Pretzel My Buttons

Beautiful nude polish, which works on darker skin tones. It needs 2 coats to be completely opaque.

Nein! Nein! Nein! OK Fine!

You cant go wrong with a dark nail polish can you? You cant really tell from the photo cos its coming up black (still working on the lighting sitch) but its a dark mossy green/grey shade. The picture is of one coat of the nail polish and its totally opaque. I love a nail polish like this, once coat and you're done. No sitting around waiting.

Unfor-Greta-bly Blue

A GORGEOUS shimmery metallic blue polish. My absolute FAVOURITE from the whole collection. I used 2 coats to get it opaque. I really wish I had gotten this in the full size version. May have to go on the hunt for it.

Suzi and the 7 Düsseldorfs

Shimmery purple polish, up close it looks like it has flecks of blue in it. This needs 2 coats to be opaque. This one I also wish I had the full size version of this. May have to take a trip down to Sally's on their next VAT free day.

PACKAGING

I absolutely LOVE the packaging. Its the main reason I picked up the collection and then obviously for the polishes :)

 

     

    

 DECALS 

 SWATCHES

I'm glad I purchased this set .Who doesn't love a bit of bright nail polish? And the quality of them is excellent. 

Hi Pumpkin!

Needs two coats to become opaque.

A-Rose from the Death

Needs one coat to become opaque.

Morning Glory

Needs on coat to become opaque.

Candlelight

This set is still available via the Internet, not sure about any beauty stores. But if you can get your hands on it do, if not for the polish or decals do it for the packaging :D

OPI Outrageous Neons mini collection

Hey dolls,

 Another lot from the sally's haul.

Neon Collection - £9.59

L-R:

White base

Ridiculously Yellow- So yellow, its beyond understanding.

Formidably Orange - Brace yourself for this powerful orange.

Riotously Pink - This pink has been known to create a scene.

Seriously Purple - I really mean it...its really purple!

Top Coat

 I took one with the flash because the one I took in natural light was blurry :(

I never would've thought to use a white base nail polish to bring out the colour of a bright shadow. I don't know why I never thought about it cos you use a base to show up brighter eyeshadow...duh lol.

The brightness of these colours is NOT coming up in the photo. They are so neon and bright its not even funny.

OPI New York City Ballet Mini collection

Hey dolls,

Another addition from my Sally's haul.

 £3.20

This was a friggin steal haha, it started out as £6.40 went down to £4.16 and then when I  took it to the till it was £3.20.

L-R: My Pointe Exactly, Don't Touch My Tutu!, Care to Danse?, Pirouette My Whistle

These nail polishes are so sheer which was a little disappointing. So to try to get the true colour that it looks like in the bottle I had to apply like 3-4 coats which still didn't do much. Obviously if you're a subtle person these will be great for you. 

 As they re so sheer the colour didn't come out that well on camera unfortunately.

Swatches: 

(The writing under each name is the description on the box)

My Pointe Exactly

See? This gorgeous sheer gray has been right all along!

Don't Touch My Tutu!

Hands off this wispy white - its all mine!

Care to Danse?

 This lilac is up-to-the-minuet in fashion.

Pirouette My Whistle
Drink up! This silver sparkle is just what you need.

OPI The Amazing Spiderman mini collection + some essentials

Hey dolls,

The other week I went into Sally's when they had a NO VAT day. Those are the best day cos you can get so much for so little. I got quite a "few" items. So keep a look out for those blog posts coming up.

 Spiderman Mini Collection - £6.40

 L-R: Into the Night, Number One Nemesis, Just Spotted the Lizard!, Your Web or Mine?

Swatches:
(The writing under each name is the description on the box)

 Into the Night

This perfect midnight blue was made for prowling.

 Number One Nemesis

Show your metal in this sparkling nickel.

 Just Spotted the Lizard!

Be seen in this reptilian yellow-green.

Your Web or Mine?

The perfect pink for sticky situations.

Each nail polish requires 2 coats to be nice and opaque. 

I wish I had bought the full size bottles of Into the night, Number one nemesis and Your web or mine cos I really like them. I'm not a fan of Just spotted the lizard. I might have to pop into Sally's and pick them up.

Essentials

I'm really into looking after my nails and wanted to try some new products. Here's what I picked up.

China Glaze Nail strengthener & Growth formula - £5.19
I've started using this as a base before my base coat. I have seen a slight improvement in my nails. I'm gonna keep using this for a while and see how I  get on.

OPI Top Coat and OPI Natural Nail Base Coat - £4.85 each

I've always wanted to try OPI top and base coats but never got round to purchasing them. As everyone knows you need a good base coat to stop staining and a good top coat to make your nail polish last longer. I think that these are gonna become fast favourites of mine.
