Updating the Avon Manicure....

...... a few days later I thought I would add french tips.

I used.........

A pink colour do you think? Nope, I did not. I used China Glaze Devotion, a silver colour. But a few minutes into drying the colour from below seeped through and turned the lovely silver into a pink! I had a top coat on the original manicure so...?

I didn't mind the result, it came out OK, if I do say so myself.

Avon Change Artist Colour

NOTW on 18 April 2010.

This manicure was done using Avon Change Artist Colour.

I used the Shimmering Red/Clear polishes from Avon. The purpose of this duo is that you put on the main nail colour (in this case the red) and then you paint over a pattern like a nail tip, diagonal stripe etc. with the clear polish. This is then supposed to change the colour.






It is not very noticeable at all???


Can you tell?



It is a nice enough colour, it was quite easy to apply and the colour has real depth to it. I am sure I have OPI's and Zoya polishes that are quite similar though. Sorry about the lack of clean up, I am getting better at it now before taking photos.

China Glaze - NOTD on 2 April 2010

This was NOTW on 2nd April.

I love my dark colours, normally blacks or near blacks. But this is just as lovely.

It is a CG polish and I can't remember which one????

It is either Stella or Let's Groove?? Probably the latter! I will have to swacth these again, duh.


Anyway it is a gorgeous colour, went on really well in just two coats.

Love it.

OPI Jade is the New Black

This was NOTD back in March on the 29th!

The polish is a lovely colour. It was a bit thinner than other OPI's that I own, but it still applied ok.

I applied two coats and I must have rushed the application, as there are some "bald" patches! opps!


But I like this colour very much. My colleagues and the children in school were very impressed with the "green" colour. In a good way of course.

A few days later at work we had a mufty day and as it was Easter weekend coming up, I drew a criss cross pattern (to look like baskets) and I drew a little bunny on the ring fingernails. What do you think?

Gosh! Blue Manicure

My daughter did this manicure this weekend.


She used wanted a blue manicure and used OPI Dating a Royal. She is young, so is a bit messy applying. Having said that, this is a huge improvement from about a month ago!

And then.......

..... over the top she put on one coat of Gosh Rainbow.





The flakes on this are amazing. I have wanted to get the NFu Oh version, but can't get it here in the UK. This is very similar. It is also very similar to the Sally Hansen's Hidden Treasure, another shade not available here!

I bought the first bottle of Gosh Rainbow in Superdrug last week, and whilst out shopping today bought another back up bottle!

Thanks for looking.
