Want my Bawdy in foil

The title made me giggle, so I had to use it. No I am not going to undergo some weird-ass spa-treatment. It is ofcourse, nail polish related. It's no other than China Glaze - Want My Bawdy, with silver foil over it, and some stamping.

I decided to use some of the foils I bought at TGR in Norway while I was on my Christmas holiday.
I am trying to do a manicure with everyone of these foils. I was asked if they all preformed the same. So why not try them all out (?)
The foil came in a set of 4 and it cost NOK 10 (£1). They don't require foil glue or anything, just a sticky surface. so polish your nails with the base colour you want, wait until it goes tacky and apply the foil. Easy as that. For the record of all things foil. I used Gina Tricot Basecoat and Topcoat for this manicure, like last time.
I have already used the other three from this set, and you can see that by clicking hereherehere, and here
The other reason for doing this combo, was the magical trick I just learned. How to avoid streaks on polishes. It's very simple actually. Sponge the last coat. Why didn't I think of that?!

I also added some nail stamping using Cheeky Jumbo plate 3  European Romance.

I used two coats of China Glaze - Want My Bawdy and then sponged the third coat. When it was tacky I added the foil, and added topcoat before and after stamping. I stamped using Wet n Wild - Black.

I was so proud over how well these swatches turned out, I had to add a few extra pictures of it, last time I tried this polish, I had streaks, and bubbles. However, I must add, the stamping I did last time was gorgeous. You can see the post here. 









Hope you are all having a great start on the Easter Weekend. I will be back soon with some Easter manicures.

Ripples in the Water

It's Friday, and that means another Cheeky Girl Challenge! I love these challenges. Choose one plate each week, one image off the plate and do a manicure. As always you will be able to see The Secretary and Mishka from Lacquer or Leave Her! do each their manicure using the same stamp. I'm so excited!


I recently did a haul with some Chine Glaze polishes, so I felt the urge of using them for this manicure. It was sitting on my desk (as all new polishes do, until they have been swatched) begging to be used. And so I did. 

China Glaze - Want My Bawdy

Cheeky plate CH52

It's been so warm here in England lately and was running a fan while I did this manicure, and I got bubbles. Google images was kind enough to make an "Auto-Awesome" with my swatces. For those of you that are not familiare with the term, that is when you upload 4 or more similar pictures to Google Pictures and Goggle makes a GIF out of it. I will add that to this post as well, so you can see the shift of color in the beautiful polish.



That will teach me to be comfortable while doing my nails. Tsk tsk. Bubbles on such a beautiful polish. How could I?! Then I stamped using Barry M - Denim. This was a tricky one, so I will add some additional pictures to fully show the wonders of this design. I'm playing with the trick of mind, and light again. A personal favorite of mine. I am the Jedi.


Blackened blurple.

The base looks black, with a vibrant blue circle print.

Barely there print, on aqua.

Let me know what you think about this kind of manicures in the comment section below.

Blog Haul


I have been shopping and today a huge parcel was dumped on my doorstep. Okay, maybe not that huge, just  7 polishes. Which is, if I may say it, quite a modest haul.
It took 2 days for the parcel to end up at my doorstep, I wasn't expecting it until end of this week, looks like Royal Mail is faster than I thought.
