I've had Essie Bikini So Teeny (Sparkling, Cornflower Blue) on for 4 days now and not a chip in sight! I put Dior Crystal (Shimmering White Top Coat) 205 on top.
That is just beautiful - I suspect the topcoat makes it, looking at the bottles. Really lovely.

I love soft colors---pastels so I decided to try a shade that I don't have in my stash. Victoria, Victoria Beckham for Nails Inc Bamboo White but it's not a stark white. The packaging is unbelievable. It arrived in an oversized box, and if the color doesn't work out for me I can put the NP in a sock and use it as a weapon because it's the heaviest bottle of NP that I've ever had!!!









I also got Alexa Hearts (Clear Polish w/red hearts) because I love and collect heart shaped objects---jewelry, etc. Thee are so, so cute--I couldn't resist!!!
They do look really elegant! Not my colour at all - I was disappointed with the colours of the VB offerings, but they have definitely nailed the packaging! A spare weapon never goes amiss either! I hope to see how it looks on you soon.

This was a mini haul of D & G NP that I purchased several weeks ago, but I've not yet worn any of them.
What a vibrant haul - screaming of summer, I need to feel the temperatures that go with those! A fun selection, I'm sure you'll enjoy wearing them.

My latest mani is an unnamed ancient Special FX topped with Maybelline Colorama Shimmer Girl:






A combo of two very old and very cheap polishes that somehow (at least to me!) seems really up to date and looks like something that the expensive indie brands were bringing out very recently!
And a vast improvement on the last mani!

Hello ladies! Because I had kind of a crappy day I was really cheered up by my llarowe order that just arrived and I thought I'd share!

And here's my latest mani, done with the mini set from the OPI Hawaii collection (the light green was really difficult to apply, but I like the flower design)

Hello, I'm back! Got home yesterday morning with a major jetlag, no sleep on overnight flight, so only just managed to get around to coming on here to show you my hauls and manis. I will try to comment later too. I was reading while we were away, but didn't really have much time to post.

It looks like i haven't missed the Pshiiit EP restock and I managed to get someone on FB to buy me a Dream On during the NPC restock, so that's good. Did anyone see there was a surprise restock on EP yesterday? It was for cremes/shimmers, so I would've passed anyway, had I known about it.

Here's my little US birthday haul:





The polishes are Sultry, Wild and Too Dimensional? Sultry is actually much prettier irl, it's a very vibrant blurple.

The Rainbow Connection order I placed while away came yesterday.









My "going away" mani and pedi were Ethereal Lacquer Worlds Apart over OPI Plum & Get It and CbL Waters of Belize.





I'll come back in a minute with the rest.

My manis while I was away weren't that interesting, I only took some old ones I wouldn't have minded breaking in transit. I didn't take picture of all of them, but the ones I used were all Andrea Fulerton trios (well, duos, but you can use them on top of each other for an extra colour).


This is Rain Fall (on the accents I used both colours, the top one is flakies)


Smile in a Storm (both colours layered on top of each other)


Foxy Lady (copper colour only)

Like I said, not very exciting. I also used a pink and a purple polish, also from Andrea Fulerton, but didn't take pictures.

It is! I don't usually have problems with the wear time of any NPs except from a few Essies, so I'm impressed. It's funny that we're wearing the same nail polish, especially since I received a few comments from friends and relatives that the shade is "weird"

Perhaps they're just not used to seeing you in it. It's a cult classic!!!! i've since changed my polish to Victoria, Victoria Beckham for Nails Inc., Bamboo White and I'm loving it.

Here is Revlon Sultry. Managed to capture the purple shift, but it's still so much brighter irl. Really pretty polish, pictures don't do justice to it.







Sorry I still haven't commented properly. Not having the best day, the children have been little sh!ts, ended up at A&E with my younger daughter as one of them slammed a door on her toe. Luckily it's not broken, They have been constantly fighting, arguing, misbehaving, they were pretty awful in Florida too. Argh!

Very pretty! I love my only LD polish too, always fancied a couple more but never got round to them.
