Some Nail Lacquer Hauls!

I had been saving like mad and also had not bought any lacquer for a while, so I went a bit mad.

Color Club - Take Me To Your Chateau

I had been lemming this colour for ages.  I finally placed an order and managed to bag this beauty.
So this is the colour I am wearing this week.  I did though have trouble applying it.  It was very streaky and trying to go over the bald patches just seemed to make it worse.  I soon learnt and so just stopped and covered in the second coat.  In the end not too bad a coverage.  A beautiful pale blue creme colour.
A bit picture heavy, I could not choose out of all these!

UPDATE

A few days later I updated my manicure.  I added some random stripes using Sinful Color - Hot spot.  Never again, especially after a long hard day at work and home! This took way too long to do.  But worth it, just.

Then, a day later I went to see Take That at Wembley Stadium:-

Something Happy to Share.

My daughter is into her nails too, (gets it from her mum!!).  Anyway, I have previously done her friends nails twice as she was so impressed with a manicure I did for my daughter.  So weekend just gone the friend had a wedding to go to and she asked if I could do her nails.  Unfortunately I was busy so my daughter said she would do them.  This is what she did with some added nail art and gems.  The orange used was High Hopes by China Glaze.

Catherine Arley 673 Purple

I wore this last week, it is an amazing polish, opaque in two coats.  STUNNING, nothing else to say.
PHOTO HEAVY, no aplogies. To see the holographicness, you really do NEED to click to enlarge.

ENJOY 

 

A Pink Shatter?

I am sorry for being AWOL for a few weeks but I was not well and then had so much to catch up with at home I just did not get to update my blog.
But I still managed to paint my nails and I will share with you in the next few days what I wore.
My first installment is this lovely pink manicure.  I used ASOS Paint - Paris for the nail base and I am afraid I can't remember which OPI pink I used to stamp on my nails!  The BM plate used was BM208 and for the accent nail a few gems (which I don't think really worked, but hey ho).

A few days later I jazzed up the manicure using my sticky back plastic tape and some black polish.  The result was quite striking.
