Sinful - What's Your Name?

Another Manicure from about a week or so ago. See my shortened nails! But it is ok they are growing again :o) Anyway, this is from my small nail lacquer haul in September from Cherry Culture. This is a most beautiful black with blue/green glittery shimmer running through it. Love it! What about you?

Pink Sponge Manicure and the Chop

Another manicure to share with you from a week or so back. My Favourtie manicure technique I think. This is so easy and quick I love doing this type of manicure.I used three colours, Nails Inc Oxford Circus for the palest, Gosh Pink Rose for the mid tone and Nails Inc Embankment for the tips and a top coat to finish it. In all must have taken me 10 minutes to do.
A few days later however, my thumb nail broke, and I could not rescue with a patch and I cut them back.

OPI - Absolutely Alice

My daughter loves anything with glitter in it. She begged and pleaded to use this as she has had to cut her nails right back! To make her happy I said OK. This is the second time she has had this on. Luckily I got a backup in the ASOS sale this weekend, otherwise I would not get a look in!The colour is a bit more deeper in reality, but the weather is not good and I can't seem to capture the total beauty of this lacquer, therefore apologies.

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 CiatĂ©, 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.
