33DC #crumpetsnailtarts - Indian!

Hey all!

So I missed out on posting this on Friday since I had  no manicure ready for 33DC- Indian! I did some stamping today and I chose a design that reminded me of the lovely patterns you can find on Saris and dresses, Indians wear :)

I'll admit the colour combination is not the best, Black is Barry M's - Espresson and I uses KIKO's - Silver Holo :) I do wish I used brighter colours since that's what everyone things of when you speak of Indian!

Here it is!

Well another failed manicure! Thanks for reading!

Check out the other ladies :)

Bye for now!

Frankenstein Lovers!

Hey Lovelies!

Finally the weekend, I'm going to enjoy this weekend doing nothing at all :D!! Tired of University this week, the work load is just piling up and im like walking away from it...

Inspired by Halloween this year I decided to make an effort and do some Halloween manicures but properly this year (not like last years major fail!) my first Halloween manicure is inspired by Frankenstein :) but today Mr Frankie is in love! with his little Mrs :)

I've had this manicure on for like 3 days and only managed to take a picture of it last night in the dark with a light, so ignore the terrible lighting....but it adds a halloweeny feel right? lol

Here it is!

How do you think I did? :)

Thanks for reading! Stay tuned for my next Halloween mani :D

Bye for now!

Swatcher - Rimmel London Lasting Finish Pro - Violet Metal!

Hey ladies :)

Have a quick swatch post for you guys, I have this AMAZING purple nail polish my mum bought for me recently! It's an absolutely stunning duochrome polish, shifting from purple to blue to pink in natural light....really makes you go "oooOOooOo" and there's shimmer in it!

I think this is one of Rimmels really old shades from like 2010 or something :)

I like the square bottles much better than the rounded ones they have now!

Here are the swatches :) I have two coats on which is a plus!

Its just so pretty! What do you ladies think!?

Thanks for reading!

33DC #crumpetsnailtarts - Oldest Untried!

Hey All :)

1 day late with the Crumpets 33DC! Can't blame me I'm a good girl doing my school work muahahah!

The theme was Nail art with your oldest untried! Well to be honest I have so many polishes I haven't used in a while and the oldest I can remember is Orly - Solid Gold! I haven't used this polish since last swatching it about a year ago I think :)

It's a lovely gold matte polish which I adore! I have one coat on here :)

It's really lovely :) So I just did a simple nail art skittle design to go along with it!

Here it is!

I really like how my thumb turned out :) What do you guys think?

Swatcher - NYC Smokey Topcoat - Greenday!

Hello lovelies!

Whatcha all up to this Saturday?! I'm working on a new crochet project which I'm gonna keep a secret for now, when its done I'll do some nail art to match it! So keep your eyes peeled!

Today I have for you all a swatch of NYC Smokey Topcoat - Greenday. Firstly, I didn't even know this existed!! I went into superdrug to just have a look and just go "I wish I had money to spend on nail polish!" lol then I saw this beauty along with a gold topcoat on the shelf! I was like oh hell, I have to buy this! Picked it up and went to the till. I had no spare change, Nooooooo :( So I asked how many points I had on my Superdrug card and wow, I had enough!

(I'm not cheap, I spend about £150 a month on travel from my student loan which isn't enough to spend carelessly!)

My thoughts on this polish is that it is amazing, I knew it would be similar to the Smokey Muse I swatch a few months back HERE. It has amazing green hex glitters along with some duochrome little glitters which shine blue, green, gold and purple in the light from what I can see! They are all suspended in a black gelly :) My swatch is one thin coat and one thick coat which both dried averagely. This is definitely my favourite polish to date!

Here it is!

What do you guys think of this polish? :)

Thanks for reading!

Bye for now!

Swatcher - Revlon Scented - GrapeFruit Fizz!

Hey lovelies!

Thank bloody goodness grief it is FRIDAY! I am tired of travelling with the train, Flipping Metropolitan here in London keeps getting delayed or terminating earlier than I want it to! Can you believe I took 7....YES 7 trains on Tuesday due to flippin signal failures!

Phew! Now onto today's postie post :) I have for you another Revlon Scented polish and it is GrapeFruit Fizz, another extremely sheer polish that took about 4 layers and you can still see my nail line. I love the sparkle it but I am really not a fan of the smell! It smells like grapefruit but more like those cleaning products that have the scent of a flavor! I don't like it at all!

Here it is :)

Overall, I am not a fan of it...glad it was for £1 and not the original price lol since I would have defo regretted buying it!

What do you ladies think?

Thanks for reading!

Bye for now!

33DC #crumpetsnailtarts - Texture!

Hey lovelies!

Seriously flippin glad it's Friday, Literally in my PJ's after returning from uni and I never want to leave the house!

So today it's Texture time! I went for something utterly simple and a total no brainer! I used textured polish and caviar beads!

Can't get much easier than that can it?!

I again don't like how it turned out but I guess i'm still gonna keep it because I really am loosing motivation slowly due to University being in the way!

Here it is!

How do you guys think it turned out?!

Thanks for reading!
