Purple and Silver

Hey! Kinda loving this mani, even with my shorter than short nails, and loving how amazing well the Barry M Instant Effect Foil polishes stamp! I can tell I'll be using them all the time! Although I do wish the gold one was more of a gold colour... Anyway, the purple is NYC Prince Street (which is my favourite purple polish evah), used Barry M Instant Effect silver foil and the BM-212 plate.

Late Pink Wednesday

Hey! I'm so bad at posting my Pink Wednesday nails on Wednesdays, oops! But better later then never eh? For this mani I was inspired by Vettelicious, as I always love her mani! Mine looks no where near as good as hers though. A few of my nails were a little messy and didn't like how they turned out, but I did like the polka dots and glitter! Polishes I used where Missy Sporty nameless pink (Y U NO NAME POLISHES?!), NYC Prince Street and Accessorize Ruby Sparkle.

I really hate the scar on my thumb :/

I ordered some more BM plates and they came today (YAY!), I'm so excited to try them all out!

Purple Glitz

Today's mani is NYC Prince Street with NYC Gramercy Glitz on top. I'm really into purple nails atm, and as I haven't tried Prince Street yet I thought I would give it a go and then of course I needed some glitter on top. At first I thought Gramercy Glitz was just a peach glitter, but to my surprise it's this gorgeous blue and pinky/peach glitter, in the bottle it really doesn't show the blue!

I've also made 3 frankens today, it's kind of addicting! Swatches of those will be up tomorrow. I have 2 more empty bottles, just don't know what kind of franken to make! Any ideas?

Another Weekly Haul.

I've brought far to much this week, so I've decided I'm going not buy anything nail related for like 6 weeks, although knowing me I'll probably crack way before then! So here's all the nail polishes I've brought this week:

These Missy Sporty nail polishes were 2 for £1.99 in Superdrug, so I just had to a few, they were practically free!! In real life the yellow doesn't look like that, blame the flash. My favourite of the 4 is the middle pink one, soooo cute! For some annoying they don't name the nail colours, so I can't tell you want they're called.

Of course I had to buy Barry M and they were 2 for £4.99 in Superdrug! So another bargain there! The pink is called Pink Flamingo and it's a bit coraly. The purple is Berry Ice Cream.

These were another bargain (I was all over the bargains this week!), the purple is called Prince Street (bit of a weird name) and the peachy glitter is Gramercy Glitz, which I'm tempted to use to make a franken.

I seemed to have brought a lot of purples this week, weird. So now onto the Accessorize polishes, the purple glitter is called Ruby Sparkle, which is a bit of a misleading name I think, ruby means red and there's no red! The orange is called Orange Flash, and was another one of my bargains as it was half price! Now the middle one is amazing, although it looks pretty crap with the flash. Here's it without the flash:

Aztec is like this greeny glitter which shines purple in the light. Now I'm not a big fan of green but I love this.

This is a pretty boring group, needed a new topcoat and as these were also on offer (another BARGAIN) for 2 for £6.99 I brought the blue too, which is called Aqua Cool.

I ordered this Konad nail polish online, I think it's called back pearl or something, pretty boring stuff.

My Bundle Monster arrived!!! Yaaaaaaaay! Pretty excited about this, can't wait to try them out. Although because my nails are long the full nail images are to small. How do you bloggers with long nails get around this?

Cute!

I brought some new nails files too as I thought they looked cute and they match my nails.

Ok, so I'm done with the show and tell. That was EXHAUSTING to write up. I won't be posting much in the next few days as I'll be busy packing, which sucks as I really want to do my nails again but they'd just get ruined by the packing :( I so want to try out all my new stamps and nail polishes, oh well impatient me will have to wait until next week, booo!

Make Up Haul

So I think I might have brought a little to much this week, I'm blaming exam stress though and the fact maths is REALLY depressing. So here's what I brought:

I ran out of my matte top coat, so I brought another one. I've wanted a yellow since my last one dried all up and went horrible and I've finally got around to buying a new one, it's called Sunshine, how cute! My friends ALWAYS moan that I don't have any green nail polish as I hate green (I swear they're only friends with me so I'll paint their nails) so I finally caved and brought this cheapo one with a great name... it's called NINJA. Best. Name. Ever. I've also wanted a coral for a while so got the 2true shade 3 (creative name, I know) although I've never tried any 2true polishes before, so don't know how well it applies and I find the bottle weird looking.

Next I brought some new blushes, I'm kind of obsessed with blush atm, and a brush (just a superdrug home brand one) as the brush I was using had seen better days. The Natural Collection is called Pink Cloud, Collection 2000 is called Breathless (cheesy name or what!) and the NYC is Pink Cheek Glow. I've been after some more day time blushes, as the ones I have now are more night out and these are perfect for the day.

Now on to lips. The lip gloss is Natural Collection Cherry Drop, you can't see in the picture but it's glittery. The lipstick in the blue is 17 Belle and it's just a standard day lipstick, nothing really that special about it. Now the lipstick in the purple, I am in LOVE! It's Rimmel Lily Extase (what the hell does extase mean?!) and it looks amazing!! It's replaced my Rimmel Red Fever as my new fav lipstick.

  It even matches my nails!

I told you I brought a lot, haha! Next up is Max Factor Smoky Eye Effect Eyeshadow in Bronze Haze. So I never normally wear eyeshadow as without my glasses on I'm pretty much blind, it's a struggle just to put on mascara! Without my glasses my eyes just look like grey blurs and I can't even see the mascara stick! How I manage to not get it all over my face is a mircile. Anyway, I really love the smoky eye effect, but because of the blindness I could never do it... until now! I can totes do the smoky eye with this, even though I can't see what I'm doing! Yes!

Ok, that's it for now, I actually brought quite a bit more but I'm to lazy to post the rest. Sorry for another long post! I hope you all are enjoying today and that the whole rapture/impending doom isn't putting a dampener on things. :p

That's so fetch!

Another pink Wednesday is here! I used the nail polish I brought yesterday, Models Own Pink Fever and the NYC glitter, and here it is:

Without flash, sorry for the blur!

With flash.

I would have taken it in sunlight, but there is none, hah! And it also looks more purple than pink, but oh well. 

Goodies I Brought Today!

Even though I said I wouldn't, I did go out and buy some nail polish, oops! Wasn't many nail polishes I wanted luckily, so I only brought 4 and I forgot to buy a clear topcoat which was the main reason I went out. Annoying! Will have to buy one tomorrow. So, here's what I brought:

The first one is Pink Fever and the photo really doesn't do it justice, it's such a gorgeous colour! The middle one is a crackle polish, hopefully it will crack as well as the Barry M ones and not be a complete disappointment like the 17 crackle. And last but not least is just a glitter top coat, I already brought this a month or so ago, but I lost it, so as it's cheap I brought another one. 

Now the 4th nail polish I brought deserves its own picture because, well, I think I'm in love! I never normally look at the NYC nail polishes, because I don't like how they apply, but today I thought why not have a browse and I saw this and had to have it, it must have been fate as it was the last one! Result!

It's silver glitter then blue and light purple bigger glitter things! It's amazing and a nightmare to try to photograph, haha. 

I also got these in the post today and as you can tell, I was clearly more excited about these than my new polishes, because what kind of girl doesn't love maths books more than polish!
