What's Better than a sparkly red polish??

The answer is a sparkly red polish named after my favourite Muppet of course!!
Animal-istic is a gorgeous red shimmer by OPI. Regular readers will know that I'm a cheapskate Student so can't really afford top range polishes but this one I HAD to have. So to ebay I went, and got myself a bargain...well 3.
See I only paid £5.80 for Animal-istic and I found Pepe's Purple Passion for £2.94 and Wocka Wocka for £5.95.
The problem I now face is finding others from the collection at such bargain prices!

Happy Birthday America

The most interesting modules of my degree are the American ones. I totally love how interesting the history of the States is.
Jumping on the band wagon I present my 4th July mani. After applying base I striped up my nails with tape and used a red nail art pen which I gave a coat of red glitter (doesn't show up too well sadly). Once dry I removed the tape and filled in with white. The blue is Wet n Wild Denim Chrome ( I think I'm addicted!) and the stars I drew with a nail art pen. Not bad for a first attempt. Once dry I topped with a generous coat of Collection 2000 top coat.
So what d'ya think? I think with more practice the lines would be more crisp and defined. I definitely need to work on even spacing!
Happy 4th of July, enjoy and stay safe.

Saturday night nails

We're off to see my cousin singing at our local later.
For this I used ELF's red velvet and black. The rhinestones are from a wheel I got on ebay.
I can't complain because the products are good but it seems that ELF have put their prices up. A bottle of polish is now £2.50
