NOTD - Essie Lady Like and Lace Tips

Hello Lovelies!

Today I am wearing Essie "Lady Like" - one of my favourite polishes! It is a nude pink creme polish and requires two coats for full opacity. I wore this as my manicure for a day and then got the urge to do some stamping. So using Konad plate M57 and the lace tip design and my trusty Konad Black stamping polish I stamped the lace design over the tips of my nails. I am really happy with how it turned out, so simple and quick and a great way to add art to your nails!

NOTD - Lush Lacquer Clowning Round

Hey Lovelies!

Today I am wearing OPI's "Kiss Me On My Tulips" a hot pink creme polish. I used two coats for full opacity and love the formula and application.

For my accent nail I used two coats of OPI "Alpine Snow" white creme polish and then used two coats of Lush Lacquer "Clowning Around" which is a clear base polish packed full of neon glitters in small medium and large sizes. Colours include neon blue, neon orange, neon yellow, neon pink and neon purple - this mix goes so well together and it is such a gorgeous polish! It looks like I have splattered paint over my nail! I absolutely love it!!!

NOTD - Models Own Bubblegum

Hey Lovelies!

Today I am wearing Models Own "Bubblegum" from their new neon collection.

Bubblegum is a hot pink neon creme polish and required two coats for full opacity. It was quite a thick consistency.

I am really happy with this polish it is much more brighter and neon than it appears in my photos. Such a lovely colour for the summer!

Nail Mail - Essie's, OPI, China Glaze & Milani

Today I received some fab nail mail from a lovely MUA'er! I sent her some brand new Barry M polishes in exchange for a some brand new polishes from my wishlist and a few polish surprises from the US! I am over the moon with the selections that she sent and felt like it was my birthday when unwrapping each one this morning!

I received the following:- L to R

Essie "Very Structured"
Milani "Garnet Gems"
China Glaze "Brownstone"
OPI "Servin up Sparkle"
Essie "Smokin Hot"

I cannot wait to try them all out! I was so intrigued by Essie Smokin' Hot and so I have painted my nails with that first (pics to follow tomorrow!). Sorry the photos aren't up to much as they do not do the bottles justice but it was dark when photo was taken and from my iphone! Swatches and manicures will follow of these soon!

My First Post and it's a NOTD

Well this is my first official post and hopefully will be the first of many NOTD's.
Today I am wearing Essie Carry On from the Fall 2011 Collection. It is a deep plum purple creme. The formula is good and I used two coats to achieve complete opacity. The polish is vampy and perfect for fall! As much as the mani looked lovely on its own I decided to put some Color Club Covered In Diamonds of the ring fingers for something extra - not to mention the fact that I love the accent fingers trend ATM. I feel like the polish looks almost black on me and is perhaps a bit too dark but at this time of the year it is warming!

I used OPI Nail Envy as base and Seche Vite as Top Coat.
