HJ Manicure - Midnight Sky

Hey!

I have given up waiting for brighter weather to take photos of my current manicure in! I have a feeling I'd be waiting until next year :)

As I said in my previous post, I am currently wearing Midnight Sky from HJ Manicure and I absolutely LOVE it.

HJ Manicure is a brand I found through Twitter and Helen, the owner, very kindly sent me a couple of her polishes to try!

The first one I put on was Midnight Sky. It's an absolutely gorgeous dark blue with just a hint of purple and sparkle. I have not stopped looking at my nails since putting it on as it's one of those polishes that looks different in different lights.

Here are some pictures -

















Isn't it lovely? I just wish there was some sun to take some pictures in because then I might have been able to capture the flash of purple a bit better.
I've had this polish on for several days now thus why the cuticle area doesn't look too great in the pics! My nails grow so fast!

The application was great and only took 2 coats.

Along with the polishes, Helen also sent a shade chart of all the colours available. Lethal in my case as I now want them all!!


(Click on the picture to get a better view!)

Midnight Sky has definitely shot into my top 5 favourite polishes list. I think I will do a konad over it this week and wear it to the Christmas party!

Visit HJ Manicure here!

The other shade that Helen sent me was R8 which is a dark grey colour. I will show you that in another post :)

Hope everyone's having a good week so far! I'm off to decorate the Christmas tree!

In and Out! Plus a few collection pictures.

Hi!

It is absolutely miserable weather here today. So much so that I can't for the life of me, get a decent picture of the nail polish I currently have on. The polish I have on has shot straight to the top of my favourite list so I want to show you guys some decent shots of it so I'm going to see if it's a bit brighter tomorrow... I won't hold my breath, I do live in the UK after all!

So in the mean time I thought I would do something I've seen Sophie from melovemakeup do on her blog - Ins and Outs!

Ins

- HJ Manicure's Midnight Sky - I am SO in love with this nail polish! I will post pictures soon :)

- Urban Decay's Box of Shadows Vol II. I love every single thing about it. I have used it every time I've done my makeup recently. SO pretty!

- Preparing to put up the Christmas decorations tomorrow! The 1st of December is the earliest I feel I can put them up!

- Bernard Matthew's Mini Kievs - random I know but I just love them. I think I could eat them everyday forever.

- Getting excited about the Christmas Party this Friday! Posh hotel, open bar, lots of turkey, what else could I ask for!

Outs

- Not being able to sleep. My insomnia is so bad at the moment!

- The days getting gloomier and gloomier. I want to take pictures of my manicures!!

- Christmas shopping rage. I love Christmas shopping but I'm not so good with the crowds and queues. Maz says I get the shopping rage look on my face and the elbows come out :)

- Not being able to go back to hometown until after Christmas :(

That's it I think!

For those of you that didn't want to watch the video about my storage in my last post, here are a few pictures of my nail polish collection -






I didn't take pictures of my makeup, you'll have to watch the video if you want to see that ;)
