A Franken NOTD

Hi,

Earlier in the week I realised that my bottle of Cover Girl's City Lights was running very low and it was beginning to be difficult to use so I decided to use the rest of it for a franken. I mixed it with some of Nubar's Night Sparkles.

Here's how it turned out -

The first few shots show the true colour of the franken but the darker shots show the sparkliness! It looks best in the sun but of course there was no sun when I was taking pictures!

I love the result and will be wearing it a lot!

I went to Superdrug's yesterday and Gosh is 3 for 2 at the moment so I got some more sparkly things -

Gosh's extreme eyeliner number 26 and holographic silver eyedust. I also got the holographic nail polish but didn't take a photo of it for some reason.

Don't forget all these pictures are clickable and you can definitely see the full sparkle effect more in the big pictures!

Lastly, look what Tescos are selling now -

Birthday Package!

Hello!

I mentioned in a post a while back about my amazing birthday package from MagicMaid and showed you some overview pictures but I thought I'd do a post completely focused on it as I loved it SO much!

When I picked it up from the post office it was all I could do not to rip it open there and then but I managed to make it home first. Just.

Here's what I saw when I opened it -

There was lots of squeeing and, as you can see, I got some help from Barnaby :)

It took me quite a while to open up all the individually wrapped bottles and I forced Maz to stay and watch every single one ;) He was very good with the appropriate ooohs and ahhhs!

So here is what she sent me -

Cover Girl Boundless Color in (L-R) Disco Dazzle, Luxe Lilac, Amethyst Mist (the label on that one got partly ripped off in my haste and only left the name in french so that's a literal translation which I'm hoping is right!)

(L-R) Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear Red Carpet, NYC East Village, Wet n Wild Caribbean Frost and Eggplant Frost.

Sinful Colors - (L-R) Call you Later, Irish Green, All About You, Queen Of Beauty and Secret Admirer.

Sinful Colors - (L-R) Serena and Chloe, Forget Now, Sugar Sugar, Frenzy, I Love You.

OPI - Pretty Little Pinks - My very first OPIs! Was so excited to see these :)

Lastly, China Glaze Fairy Dust and Coconut Kiss.

I love every single one of them. I ended up wearing Coconut Kiss out for my birthday. I had planned something different but once it was on I couldn't take it off! I will show that in another post :)

It really was one of the best packages I've ever received and I can't believe how generous Niki was! Thank you Niki!!

I certainly have plenty of polishes to keep me going for a few posts!

At the moment my nails are actually bare as I'm trying to improve their condition. I got so annoyed with them last week that I just chopped them all off as short as I could! It's not that they're peeling , splitting or anything like that, it's the yellow staining!! It drives me mad. It's my own fault for wearing polish without a base coat but I wish I could get rid of it. I know it sounds silly but even when I have polish on I just know it's there.... :) So I decided I have to sort it and now is the perfect time to do it as I have plenty of pictures stored up for posts. One of my favourite things to do is french manicures but with the yellow staining it's impossible so I'm determined to restore them to health!I've been using a peroxide whitening gel every day and they're already improving so I reckon a few more days and they'll almost be perfect again.

My posts are a bit sparse at the moment due to me not feeling the best. Nothing in particular wrong, just feeling a bit run down I think.

Anyway that's enough from me! Hope everyone is having a good weekend :)

I'm back! So I'll show you a franken :)

Hey!

I am back from my birthday weekend. Well actually I got back on Monday but I have been incredibly lazy since then and not done a lot!

I have lots to tell you and things to show you from my birthday but that will all be in another post when I've had a chance to take some pictures and stuff. What I will tell you now though is that I had one of the best weekends ever and I was completely spoilt.

So on to this post. Before I went away I did a franken which I really love.

I used -

Cover Girl Boundless Color - City Lights with 2 unbranded polishes I've had for a while.

I have no idea where the 2 unbranded polishes came from originally but I didn't particularly like either of them on their own so I decided to mix them and add some more sparkle!

This is the result -

No flash

With flash

I love it!

Here are some pictures of it on my nails. Most of them are with flash as it was the only way to capture the purple in it!

That last picture is without flash but I think you can still see the purple in it.

It's my favourite franken of the few I've made. For once it's not blue!!

Any suggestions for names are welcome :)

Lots of posts coming up over the next few days. I have so much to show you all!
