PRESS SAMPLE 


Hello!
Sorry there haven't been more posts recently, my son isn't taking to school to well so have been really busy,
Today I have another beautiful polish sent to me by nailpolish.co.uk. They have also given me the go ahead to run a giveaway! The prize is a set of mini OPI polishes from the Nordic Collection. All details of the giveaway and raffelcopter widget is after the jump.

This is Do You Have This Color In Stock-Holm? from the recent OPI Nordic collection. This polish was one of the hardest to photograph! It took 2 days to get this picture and I am still not 100% happy with it. 

Giveaway details and more on this polish after the jump! 

Picture Polish Pirouette

I won this polish in a giveaway run by Sally Magpies a while ago and have only just got round to trying it! You can read another post about it here 

It is described as a Bijou Holo and is a collaboration shade with Tenshi No Hana, a french blogger.

This polish really comes alive in the sun! Oh mama, you can see that scattered holo! Its a dusty pink and the formulations is AAMAZING!
I apologize that the pics are not to my usual standard. We have a poorly little boy.

Please note I found it hard to photograph this. The picture MOST true to the shade is the bottle pic!

I could have worn this as a one coater if I was in a rush and its sooo smooth! Theres NO glitter! Also it was quite shiny without a topcoat. My pictures show it without topcoat (except for the artwork nail).

I didn't think I would like this as its pink and a tad girly but I really love it!

If you are in the UK you can purchase it from Sally Magpies or there are various other stockist available, you can check them HERE 

Reverse Waterfall Nail Art

I have to start off by saying YAY!!! 

My Facebook blew up today and I have gone from 182 like to 305!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because of this I will be doing a GIVEAWAY soon!

Anyway.......

Here is a twist on a waterfall mani. I first saw this type of mani over at The Nailasaurus. 

I used Zoya Perrie as the base. Not really my colour if I am honest as I don't think it goes with my skin tone?

I then used Color Club Fashion Addict to fade some holo in from the tips. 

To do the waterfall type effect I used some of my new Stripers. I believe they are also by Color Club. 

The sripers are actually really good, plus they are bloody cheap! 

So what do you think? 

Oh and if you want to pop over to facebook and give me a "Like" you can HERE

Winner of HPB Giveaway

On New Years Eve I received the BEST email ever!

I had won 3rd prize in the Hobby Polish Bloggers Winter Giveaway !

I got the email at like 11pm so rang in the new year in a fantastic mood!!

Last New Years Eve my son was admitted to hospital and it was a very stressful and upsetting time and the rest of the year didn't seem to go much better.

Hopefully this is a sign of things to come in 2014!!

I had a choice of a $100 voucher for Llarowe, Ninja polish or a paypal transfer of the money.

I choice Paypal transfer as I had my eye on some polishes from TNBL.

Here is what I spent my winnings on.....

After a LOT of research I found these beautiful Color Clubs! They are Holos but are not part of the holo hues collection so work out at like £3 from TNBL!

Here is (In no particular order) Fashion Addict, Revvolution, Worth The Risque and Wild At Heart.

I saw these and couldn't resist them really. I didn't get black or white as I already have some from the Born Pretty Store but on reflection I should have bought new ones as the ones from the Born Pretty Store are crap.

I also bought a few top and base coats (not pictured)

I had a massive problem ordering from TNBL as it just wouldn't go through but somebody talked to me the whole time online, for around 4 hours, no joke!

As an apology for their site not liking me they gave me a free Color Club polish and bumped my shipping up so I would get them the next day (I ordered at nearly 6pm!)

I thought that was really good customer service as i have had problems with other sites and they don't seem to care. Way to go TNBL!

These are really good stripers. Stay tuned for a nail art with some of this stuff soon.....

What do you think of my choices? What would you buy if you won $100 (about 58 GBP)
