Nicole By OPI, Rainbow In The S-Kylie!

Uh oh! New love alert. I was in love with the Muppet collection 'Rainbow Connection' and i was completely gutted when i couldn't get hold of it, but then i spotted a uncanny dupe in the form of a differnt OPI. Had to be brought! I ended up getting this from ASOS, and yes, i did buy 3, not all for me!
This polish is part of the Kardashian Kolor range and is quite simply rainbow glitter, all different sizes, in a clear based polish. Isnt it beautiful!
Now with glitters, and different formula's its hard to estimate how thick its going to be, hows the glitter going to come out with one coat etc, so i thought ild try it on its own first, and see how it would go on.
 This is with a couple pretty thick coats, and i think it just looks amazing. Like literally nothing I've ever seen on my nails before! I like it like this, but i really wanted a differnt base colour, something to make it stand out even more, and im a sucker for a bit of pink so i thought ild team this beaut up with my favorite pink at the moment which is MUA in shade 16.
Quiet a cute couple, dont you think ;).
Without flash, sorry its a bit of a naff photo! This is mainly to show you the glitter.
With flash, the glitter looks a bit funny, but i wanted to show you the pink, this is my favourite pink at the moment!

I absolutely love this polish, my new found love, and i brought one for my friend and i cant wait to give it to her tomorrow! I also brought one for a cheeky little giveaway I'm planning for pretty soon, so please keep your eyes peeled, as i all want you to enter!

Lots of love.

OPI Katy Perry Last Friday Night!

Okay so, on my little spendout i brought my last piece from the Katy Perry collection, which is pretty much a blue version of Teenage Dream and its called Last Friday Night, i LOVE it!!
Also like teenage dream, its glitter, so if your just going to use this alone it will take a good few coats.
This is it with a couple coats, i do like it but i defiantly think it will look better with a base colour underneath, if you like a subtle hint of glitter though, this would be perfect!
I decided to match mine up with MUA love heart collection in 'U Rok!', which is a very parma-violet colour.
Heres the two together, what do you think? I also brought Zoya in Breezi (post coming soon) and reckon it will look great over that.

Opi Heart to resist!

Oh my god, thats all i can say. Im in love, complete love. This has got to be the best thing i have brought in a very long time. So much so, i have brought the exact same thing in blue (post coming soon when it arrives in the post!).
 May i introduce you ladies, to Opi's grand masterpeice that is 'Heart to resist'.
Its a clear polish, with flecks of glitter and small hearts. Im in love. 
Im guessing this was part of Opi's seasonal ranges, but it was really hard to find. But when Lauren sees something she likes, she has to have it.
I teamed mine up with Blue Moon by Barry M. 
I must admit, it was a challenge in itself just to try and get the hearts on the brush and onto my nail, but what do you think? I absolutly love it, and am tempted to buy another for when this one runs out!

Opi Big Apple Red!

Everybody needs a red in their nail varnish collection, so i was very surprised that i didn't. To me red nails are a symbol of femininity, of women pin ups in the 50's, and the ultimate sex symbol. With red being one of the most traditional colours, i knew i had to invest in a good, sex symbol-Esq red.

Marilyn Monroe and Dita Von Teese work the red nail look.  
To me, red nails make me feel more of a woman, more lady-like and vintage glamour. I really like Dita's backwards manicure.
OPI, they do my favorite polishes and they are the best make for high-end varnishes (in my opinion), so i wanted to purchase a really vintage red i knew it had to be OPI. I spotted 'Big Apple Red' and LOVED it. 
To me, this shade is the 'typical red'. It applys beautifully and drys glossy and fast.
I love this colour. And its a very strange sight for people not to see without glitter nails!

Whats your favorite red shade?

Nubar Pink Dot!

I thought ild add to the Nubar collection, and if youve seen before i am slightly obsessed/addicted to glitter. I just seem to get drawn it, and have to buy it. I spotted this lovely little number from Amazon and i loved it. Its a beautiful peach/pink clearish colour with spots of multicoloured glitter. Looks great on top of any shade.
I paired mine up with the beaut that is Peach Melba by Barry M.
This is just 1 coat, so next time im definatly going to load it up!

Nubar Treasure!

Okay, so finally a day off and with my new packages delieverd this morning and Four weddings and Big Bang Theory on back to back i had to show you my new purchases! (For those of you that have never seen Four weddings, shame on you! And yes, im addicted to the big band theory).
Im a Nubar virgin, never seen it in the shops and never thought to buy any, but ive seen alot of swatches and thought ild try them out. I buy most of my 'not in the shops' brands from amazon.
I LOVE this shade, its part of the Nubar Prisms collection, its hard to explain, but its a stunning lilac shade packed with holographic glitter. It looks almost 3D on, i think, but it just looks amazing. 
 Its almost mesmerising to look at and it looks so good on. 
I love it! What do you think?

Barry M Berry Ice Cream And Peach Melba Mash Up!

What has everybody done on there day of rest then? Actually, don't tell me, i was working all day so any story's of pyjama days and Sunday roasts are sure to make me envious! Anyway, i hope all of you have had a lovely weekend.
One thing i love doing is rediscovering old possessions and old loves, as i was riffling through my nail varnish tub (yes a tub, i have that many!) and re-discovered why i love Barry M so bad. There bold daring brights and there stunning pastel colours make them one of the most (in my opinion) popular nail varnish brands, i for one, have tons, and i know pretty much all my friends are obsessed with them as well. 

Berry Ice Cream
I cant remember how long ive had this for, but its defiantly been for a couple years, my beautiful sister brought me this on a 'i saw this and knew yould love it' kind of moment. And she was right, i fell in love with this pot of joy, i think this is one of the very few polishes i kept on til last possible moment all chipped, took it off and straight away put it back on again, and that NEVER happens! Its a beautiful lilac colour. 
What do you think? Do you have any lilac shades nicer then this?

Peach Melba.
I also have had this shade for a couple years now and know its still popular to this day. I remember buying this when i was shopping with my sister she wanted this shade for a givaway and our local boots didnt have ANY at all! For months! I spotted one last lonely pot left. And i snapped it up qwick. I love this shade, it always makes an appearance when the sun comes out and the shorts find there way into my wardrobe again. Its a georgous shade of peach. I have never seen any other brand make a shade like this, unless im blind! 
Its offical. Im in love. 

They go so well together, so i knew i had to do something with them both. Im not the best nail artist. So excuse my wobbly lines. 
Ive used Berry Ice cream as the base coat, Peach melba for a few details, China Glaze Snow Globe for the two glitter nails and my amazing MUA extreme eyeliner pen for the black outlines. I love the two colours together!
Do you own any of these colours?
Thanks for reading!

Barry M Blue Moon And China Glaze Snow Globe! NOTD!

Just a quickie today, i had to show all you stunners my nails of the day, and I'm in love. I'm a China Glaze virgin, so this is my first purchase from them and I'm very impressed! I brought snow globe, a clear based glitter with what genially looks like the glitter from snow globes inside it, its gorgeous and perfect to go on top of any colour! 
I decided i was going to pair this up with a stunning number from Barry M, Blue Moon. A beauty colour of baby blue with subtle ultraviolet blue shimmer only visible when on direct light.
Blue Moon on its own, with flash.

With China Glaze Snow Globe on top, with flash.
Without flash, sorry for the dark light!

Do you have any China Glaze or Barry M polishes you love?
Thanks for reading,
