Barry M Silver Cascade

Hi!

I was meaning to put Barry M Cyan on again today to show you guys but I have been extremely lazy and somehow time just got away from me!

So instead, here are some pictures of Barry M Silver Cascade that I tried a while a go but hadn't got round to posting.

I think that was 2 coats and then I eventually put on another coat to fill it in even more.

Sparkly hey!! I like it a lot and have worn it a couple of times as it goes with everything and dries SO fast that I can put it on when I'm in a rush!

Recently I put it on with a layer of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Strobe Light (thank you Nicole!)over the top and it was GORGEOUS! That was whilst I was in London though so didn't take any pictures! I'll definitely wear that combo again at some point though so I'll be sure to take some pictures then!

That's it for now, my boyfriend, Maz, is away this weekend so I think I will be doing lots of nail painting and maybe some nail art.

Oh and I have realised that I've hit 50 subscribers! Yay! A contest/giveaway will follow some time very soon!

Recent Additions

I thought I'd show you the most recent additions to my collection. All have been bought or have arrived in the past couple of weeks.

First off, these 3 beauties arrived from the US thanks to MagicXMaid! My jaw dropped at all the sparkliness (you all know by now how I'm partial to a bit of sparkle!) I have been adding the middle one to EVERYTHING!!!

Hello Everyone!

I have been slacking this week on doing blog posts... I just haven't had a chance until now! I took photos of any polish changes though so I have a couple in reserve :)

I've had such a busy week and I can't believe it's the weekend already...where did the week go??

I was very excited earlier in the week to get my first blog award from Helen and Sheenie's Nice Things. Made my day :) It was an Adorable Blog Award and I will be posting my nominees very soon, I just haven't had time to think about it yet!

Anyway there are lots of pictures in this post so I shall get started :)



Earlier this week I finally got the opportunity to try out the 2nd polish that MagicXMaid sent me - Sinful Colors - Daddy's Girl.






This is 3 coats. It's a really, really lovely purple and I love it! My only minus about it would be that it takes forever to dry! Well worth the wait though. Just got to remember not to rely on this one when I'm in a rush...

I wore it plain for a couple of days and then decided to try NYX silver glitter over the top. Well, it was love at first sight! I just love the effect and love how it looks different in all lights!

I couldn't capture how nice the glitter looks in photos but the glitter is holographic so really sparkles!

I will definitely be doing this one again!

Some of you may remember that thumbnail cracked a couple of weeks ago and I fixed it with superglue. I had every intention of waiting until it'd grown a bit more before I chopped it down but I just couldn't put up with it in the end... The superglue worked fine but it looked horrible and even when covered in polish I just knew it was there...if you know what I mean! So I chopped it down. I had to go right to the quick. It looks very sorry for itself compared to my other nails!

Because it was my thumbnail though I haven't cut the others down because a thumbnail is easy enough to hide!

Here is the sorry nail below (it's grown a bit since the chop!) -



Also this week my first Konad stuff arrived! I was so excited! I have been playing around with it a bit but not on my nails yet. I didn't get loads in my first order as I wanted to make sure I could get the hang of it first. I will post my first attempt very soon :)

Finally I have had a little addition to my family this week. His name is Barnaby (UK people may guess where that came from!) and he's just over 8 weeks old. Isn't he adorable!

Added Sparkle!

I wanted to add something to my nails for the meal out for my boyfriend's birthday but I didn't have much time in the end so I had to keep it very simple. Just one bit of sparkle per nail!
