Sinful Color - Savage

Hello everyone. I am sorry for being MIA here for a while, but I have finally settled in my flat, and sorted internet out. Which took, like, forever. Had to wait for an installer for 6 weeks, and another couple of days for my hub to arrive. I survived, and back online, and back to blogging (as some of you might have noticed)

A while back I picked up Savage from a Sinful Color display, and it got forgotten among a lot of other things when I was packing up my things. Now that I have unpacked most of my belongings I have uncovered a small mountain of nail polishes, and it's about time they get some love.

I was surprised when this polish turned matte on me, I did not know it was a matte at all. In the bottle it just looked kinda dull, but it transformed into this awesome almost "blackboard finish" looking blue.

H&M Gold/white glitter

While everyone in England and Wales is stuck to TV screens in the much anticipated rugby match of the year, the England vs. Wales. I am sitting here, enjoying the sun outside, drinking tea and writing about nails.
Will the turnout be anything like last year (Wales 30 - 3 England), or will the English get their revenge on the homefield? Time will tell.
I am more in aww over this glittery polish.

While on Christmas holiday in Norway I picked up this glittery polish from H&M.
I was originally going to wear a undie, but decided to try it out on its own.

If I had used a dark undie for this polish, I think it would have looked a little bit like looking at a town from afar while it's snowing. The houses giving of a golden glow here and there, but all you can really see is the darkness of the night and the white of the snow.

Tag: My boyfriend does my nails (aka Inspired By a Movie)

Sorry for MIA lately, I have now moved into my flat, and is started to get settled in. I finally got internet here, which took forever. Mostly cause I had to wait for an installer to drag the line into the flat, and wait for there to be one that was available. Due to all the flooding here in UK, that took its time.

I wanted to do something fun, and this tag is something I have been wanting to do for a while. So after an eternity of trying to get him on-board for this (which only took 3 sec), we sat down and doodles on my nails. This is what he came up with.

For background colour, we used Nordic Cap - NP07, which is a bright orange, and Essie - Bobbing For Baubles for accent. Using the accent colour to create the design.

He choose the symbols from the Firefly - Serenity movie. 

In the future, a spaceship called Serenity is harboring a passenger with a deadly secret. Six rebels on the run. An assassin in pursuit. When the renegade crew of Serenity agrees to hide a fugitive on their ship, they find themselves in an awesome action-packed battle between the relentless military might of a totalitarian regime who will destroy anything - or anyone - to get the girl back and the bloodthirsty creatures who roam the uncharted areas of space. But, the greatest danger of all may be on their ship.Written by Anthony Pereyra (from IMDB)

I have gotten my hands on a couple of new polishes and nail art items lately. This post is dedicated to those new darlings.  This time I have been to the 99 p store, Poundland, The Works and H&M.

Innsifree - 84

This post has been stuck in my Draft folder for far too long. I wrote the post, and had the pictures and every thing done, but forgotten completely to press "publish". So here it is, the last of my four Innisfree polishes.

This is one of four "Yoghurt" inspired nail polishes from the Innisfree line. Innisfree is a vegan polish, has a pleasant scent, nothing to overpowering. It comes in a milky base with glitters and have a lasting hold. Easy to use, the glitters glides on well. Only reason why I haven't used them since I bought them (almost a year ago), is because of the removal of glitters, it's just not worth it having to soak my nails in acetone and kill my already dry cuticles. So when I got my PVA glue and started using that as a base for glitters, well, needless say, I felt the urge of using these gorgeous polishes ago.

Innisfree - 84.
Milky blue base with blue and pink hex glitters.
I also added a couple larger blue hex glitters to this manicure to create more depth in the polish and make it stand out more.

To finish it all off, I added a butterfly to each nail. The fimo butterflies came from a set I bought at the 99 p store here in UK.

China Glaze - Jolly Holly with snowflake

I have been gone from this blog far to long now, but it seems like I am getting my life back on track now, and I'm just a week away from getting my own flat.

It's going to be great. Best thing is, I can get back in a nail art routine, and have a nail station again. 

For now, I am keeping my nails short, to make it easier with the packing. 

At Poundland I found this great little Christmas set from Allura. It had two types of snowflakes, a Christmas tree and a Christmas stocking.  I decided to use one of the snowflakes for my Christmas manicure.

Two coats of China Glaze - Jolly Holly, and a snowflake accent.

Hope King Winter has treated you all nicely. It's good to be back.
