My Head2Toe HAUL! - WARNING............

.....................PICTURE HEAVY.......

Would like to say a big thank you to Head2Toe Beauty for shipping my order so quickly.  Perfectly packaged, even the little CG boxes had the poly chips in them.  Only hold up was this end in the UK in customs (nearly 3-4 days!), and unfortunately had to pay a small sum for customs and handling etc.  But it was still worth it.  I managed to get more of my blue lacquer (which I simply can't have enough of) but I also got my Crackle polish YAY, can't wait to play.  I also got the Anchors Away collection, I could not help it.  But as you can see as well as the Seche Vite Restore, I also got a few other shades to add to my ever growing collection!  I also got my first Color Club Lacquer.  I hope to get more soon!!

Half Moon Manicure

My manicure after my disastrous green patchwork one, is IMO much more subtle and I think more elegant.
My Manicure is inspired by Ditta Von Teese.  In my version I used a grey lacquer by ASOS Paint by ciate called Kate, paper ring reinforcements for the moon shape and Double Platinum (Rockstar collection ) by LA Girl to fill in the moon shape. To top it off a coat of Seche Vite.
 What do you think, what are you thoughts on this manicure?  Do let me know.

Patchwork Manicure.........

 .......... Gone Wrong.

I should have left my nails alone. But nope, I thought "how hard could it be?"  Well it was hard, Chloe, hats off to you, you are a master at this.  Mine just looked messy and just not right at all.  If I had applied the black and left it at that, it looked great, but adding the other green, it just did not work for me. This will go down as a disaster manicure for me unfortunately.  But I am not going to give up, I will give it another go!  But for now, off with the polish, file down and shape those nails (been growing out splits) and re-polish a-fresh.

LA Girl - Can U Dig It?

I have a new colour on today.  I got this a few weeks ago from Cherry Culture. It is from the Disco collection by LA Girl.  It is a lovely lime green colour, just the reminder I need that Spring is on its way, especially today with the sun shining.  Anyway this is called Can U Dig It?  It was very sheer and I put on two thick coats (really should have been 3 even coats but hey no).  None-the-less it is still gorgeous.  The photo's are showing a slightly lighter shade, in real life it is just ever so slightly brighter.

OPI - I've "Red" The Script

Today I am wearing another one of my un-trieds.  I got this about a year ago.  It is by OPI and is called I've "Red" the Script.  It is lovely red with a slight blue tone to it.  It went on lovely although I must admit for my nails the wide brush, is not so good.  It was almost opaque in two coats (I should have done three but couldn't be bothered!). It is topped off with OPI top coat.
