A England Princess Tears

As you may now A England recently had their anniversary promotion and I finally picked up some of the gorgeous polishes.

Here I'm featuring Princess Tears. This photo can not do this polish justice. I was thinking of adding some nail art to it but I can't stop looking at it by itself!

I now understand the hype :)

Santa suits

For my santa suits I used OPI's Wocka Wocka. I think its a bit too dark red but hey ho. The fluff, buttons and belt are acrylic paint.

Enjoy

Snowy scenes

Ahh the christmas break is here! So what better time to get a snowy manicure!

I used Colour Club foils in Cold Metal and Lumin-icent sponged over barry m white. When they dried I added a top coat and dug out my acrylic paints for the snow flakes and threw in a few rhinestones too.

Enjoy!

NYC Persistent Putty

The last of my Cosmetics Fairy polish haul (I got mostly make up this time).

Persistent Putty. Is it brown? Is it greige? I'd call it minx. I think. I do like it though.

I find with NYC polishes the first coat is terrible, very thin and patchy. But on the second coat it transforms! It's gorgeous.

I can see this as being an everday wearer, since you could add anything too it!

Essie Meet Me at Sunset

So I also picked up a bargain with this bottle of Essie . A full size bottle for £2.49.

This was a little different to Super Bossa Nova. Thinner to apply so took 3 (and a bit) coats to become opaque.

The stunning red/orange colour is right up my street.
All in all I'm impressed with my growing Essie collection!

Essie Super Bossa Nova

This week I'll have a few swatches of what I picked up at Cosmetics Fairy last week.

Today I start with Essie's Super Bossa Nova. I got a mini bottle(5ml) for 99p. The polish is a lovely bright fuchsia pink with a subtle shimmer. It only took two coats to make it opaque and dried to a nice smooth finish.


I think this could be an interesting polish to stamp with, so will hope to try that out soon.
