OPI - Lady in Black

This weekend I wore Lady in Black by OPI on my nails.  I bought two of these beauties at half price about a month back when ASOS had their sale.  It is a beautiful true black.  Lovely in two coats.  Finished off with a coat of OPI top coat for the lovely shine.

OPI Coney Island Cotton Candy

 NOTW at the moment is this lovely soft pinky/peach colour from OPI - Coney Island Cotton Candy.  I have had this colour for well over a year now, and it is the first time of wearing.  It is quite sheer and I have put on three coats and you can still see VNL.  I don't think any number of coats would have hidden my NL as I think the tips of my nails are very opaque anyway.  No top coat on here either and it is still lovely and shiny.  I love this colour, so calming and soft.  I needed this as I have an awful sore throat and cough and couldn't bare to wear anything too bright.

GOSH Miss Minty and China Glaze For Audrey

Just a quick update on my manicure of last week.
Here is a quick comparison of Miss Minty by GOSH and For Audrey by China Glaze.
Left is GOSH MM and right CG For Audrey.  I love For Audrey but I for some reason or other prefer GMM.  What about you?

GOSH - Miss Minty

I was in Superdrug last week and I seem to have caught one of the sales assistants eyes!  She remembered me from the last time I was there telling her of my nail polish/lacquer addiction.  She immediately told me that they had loads of offers on most nail brands and that GOSH had some new colours in.  I went straight to the counter and picked up Miss Minty along with two other colours (offer was 3 for 2, not bad).  Anyway I thought Miss Minty could be a dupe for China Glaze For Audrey but think it may be a bit light?  I got it anyway.
so.....   NOTW is this lovely colour by Gosh - Miss Minty or number 597.  Application on first coat looked a bit streaky but with the second it evened out and was opaque, no streaks.  So base coat of OPI Nail Envy, two coats Miss Minty and a top coat of OPI Rapid Dry.
I love this colour, how about you?
p.s.
But before I did my NOTW, I cut back my nails this weekend by half the length!  Last week the length was.......What do you think of the new length?

Nails Inc - Halkin Street

New NOTD is this dark sulty blue manicure.  I am using the lovely Halkin Street by Nails Inc.  Another one of my MANY nail polishes getting worn for the first time!  This is two coats over my Nail Envy (which I use all the time as a base).  This went on like a dream.  I could have gotten away with just one coat as it was almost opaque but as I wanted to wear it for a few days more I put on two.  I topped it with OPI top coat this time and voila.  I love it, how about you?
