Current mani, just finished stamping. Inglot 139 with Barry M Superdrug Birthday and a couple of Konad plates and white Konad stamping polish. The wonky butterfly is annoying me, but couldn't get it straight, so gave up.
I will of course include a pic of said dress...

Gorgeous manis. I hate you for having February 2014 and La-La-Land, I don't have either. Okay, I don't hate you, but I do envy you!A quick mani post again: first Enchanted February 2014 and an accent with CbL O Holy Night
and Enchanted La La Land with KBS Snow Much Fun.
I'm really annoyed with Models Own, I placed an order literally one hour into their sale on Thursday and I still haven't received it. Apparently it was dispatched on Saturday by courier. Grr!

Those are cute colours, especially the metallics. They all work well together. What a shame about dropping a nail's worth!A quick mani post again: Elevation Arabic Sea 2, Elevation Tre Cime di Lavaredo, and Enchanted Amazing which does not photograph at all; it's such a sparkly foily glitter. A funny thing happened this morning. I noticed something turquoise on the floor - "what's that?". It was my right hand ring nail polish (Amazing) up side down.

So many pretties! So many Takkitos! I think you've managed to overtake me in one fell swoop!That's odd. But pretty mani anyway.
I have lots to show you. 3 of my orders came, 2 of them from MeiMei, including my Takkos. I did notice that she charged $50 for shipping and the actual postage on the box was just over $30, so I e-mailed her and asked for a refund. I don't mind paying a few extra $s, but $20 is just pushing it! She did refund me which is good.
2015, Lights Out, You've Been Served - these were the only polishes from the CbL 2015 collection that I fancied the look of.
Wynwood Walls, Wooster St., Surrealistic (these 3 are flakies), Createur, Dazed & Confused
Chesire Cat, Absinthe, Curiouser & Curiouser, Jabberwocky
Alchemist, Diamonds & Tulle, Fullmetal, Lavender Macaron, Physical Graffiti
Pretty 2.0, The Cat is Mad, Fat Belly, Love Bytes, Into the Wild, Dreamcatcher
Finally, my recent mani. Not really happy with this, the FF glitter was too gloopy and the colours didn't work together, plus the stamping didn't come out great. The base is China Glaze Swanky Silk and the glitter is Femme Fatale Lunar Halo.
I like your mani, sorry you don't!

That's just my sort of purple, lovely!My newest mani, China Glaze Coconut Kiss with CG Marry a Millionaire on the accents. I'm happy with this one (except for the small chip on my thumb).

Lovely manis! Especially Black Orchid.... I so need to get that!Speaking of which, I ended up receiving two of these for Christmas, so I have a spare. If any of the UK girls would like it, drop me a PM! (If you have something to swap for, even better)

Very nice in both colours! I feel your pain, I was utterly fed up by the time All Wrapped Up was (nearly) off my nails - I'm so glad I didn't get more circles on in the end, I'd still be stripping the stuff off days later! My pot remover didn't help at all.

I love both of these, especially the first one! Haul central in my house today, I got 5 more A-Englands and my Models Own order. Love the box the Models Own came in, kind of makes me begrudge paying for P&P a bit less lol! Let's see if I can get any pics, light's not great here.A quick mani post again: first Enchanted February 2014 and an accent with CbL O Holy Night

I was just very lucky as I happened to see her Instagram post pretty much immediately, so I quickly ordered it all.
Thanks. It was okay, but not my favourite.

Try the foil method next! Honestly works so well and quickly.

OMG, where did my other Takko go??? I left them all out because when I went to take the pic I needed to recharge my batteries, it must have disappeared between times. Ozzy thinks Nail Polishes make great toys, could be anywhere!!! Will add it to the next list (assuming I find it!) - and I've just noticed my rechargeable batteries which were with them have gone too, he's a little ****! I love that you knew that it was missing before I did!
New mani will follow in a bit!

So last week I had an email from a Survey Panel I belong to saying they were running a nail polish test, so I decided to apply and this is what they sent me:
It's by l'Oreal and I think it's called Crystals, and looks like a glass fleck finish.
So as I have to review it for them, it's this week's mani:
It has a subtle duochrome effect in the right lighting, with a shift from orange to peach to gold, and in the sun (which only appeared when I didn't have a camera!) there's a slight sparkle from the flecks. I was concerned it was more of a topper, but I got away with 3 coats!
They said it was OK to discuss it, so I guess I can post here!
Not a colour I'd have picked out, but that means it's nice to have something a bit different in my stash!

I'm trying to get back on commenting but there's just too much stuff going on now. Here's the latest mani: BL La Moss and EP The Sea Was Red. I was able to snap a pic in real
sunlight
. Anitascka, you see, it's a bit warmer than what it shows on IG, a champagne I'd say (the colour is the same as some yarns in have in 'champagne').
