BFF - Punk

The 5th instalment of the BFF Challenge bought to you this week as chosen by Bec of lacquer dreams.

This was quite a challenge to start with as all I could think of was the Mohican hair.  But my DH came to the rescue and showed me some punk fashion, and reminded me that tartan was a big influence.

So my inspiration for this challenge is the tartan trousers punks wore.  This manicure I have to say I am very pleased with, it turned out just as I had imagined it.

Items used:
Asos Paint by Ciate - Lauren - Blue base
LA Colors - Art deco blue glitter
Acrylic Paint - Black and white
Seche Vite

ASOS Paints - Megan

I wore this colour last week. It is from my ASOS haul a few weeks back. It went on a dream, lovely formula. This is base coat as per usual of OPI Nail Envy, two coats ASOS Megan and a top coat of Seche Vite. Looks like glass. Not bad for a £1 Nail Polish/lacquer.Unfortunately my camera does not pick up the true loveliness of this shade. This second picture is probably the best true colour.

ASOS - Sale and My Haul

ASOS have a sale at the moment and I took full advantage of this at the weekend. I spent wayyyy too much, but it was for colours and makes I could not otherwise justify buying. For example the Illamasqua which retails at £12.50 - sale £5 to £6.50, OPI £9.95 - sale £4-£6. I bought a few, and hope to swatch some in the near future. I also bought some ASOS Paints by Ciaté, A Barry M, Models Own and some Eyeko. Naughty me :o) But I have a chest infection, bad cough and cold so this retail therapy really made me happy (not my purse strings though).

I ordered Saturday and they came today. I must say their packing was not the best. All bottles were in a bag padded by the big plastic bubble wrap and that's it! One bottle of my OPI has a chip in it, but other than the rest were ok. Overall I am happy.
