Long overdue catch up AKA Mega Blog Entry

Well hello. As my own version of a Constant Reader, the lovely Emma, pointed out, I haven't blogged since May. May! I hang my head in shame. Honestly though, I wasn't feeling like it, and I said all along (to myself, obviously, no one else cares) that if I didn't feel like blogging, I wouldn't. I go to work enough, I don't want blogging to turn into a chore.


Anyway, despite the fact that I've been quiet for so long, I have still been doing what I do best - my nails, and so I've got quite a few manis to share. Here's a selection of my favourite from the time that I've been gone...

 
[Above] The gorgeous Nails Inc Copacabana. This one saw me through large part of our holiday in Turkey, it's a bright and beautiful coral.
 
 
 

 
[Above] Barry M Gelly Shine in Greenberry, with Models Own Indian Ocean on top! Proving once again that Barry M make beautiful nail polish for bargainous prices.
 
 
 
[Above] Nails Inc Basil Street. I wore this uncharacteristically plain colour for a fancy dress party. I was dressed as Clark Kent, and he doesn't usually wear nail polish.
 
 
 
 
[Above] Color Club in Pardon My French. This is BRIGHT. Retina searingly bright, though that clearly doesn't translate to the picture. I love it. Perfect formula, gorgeous colour.
 
 
 
 
[Above] Exposed in Grey with China Glaze Fairy Dust on top. Who doesn't love a good holo? Fairy Dust is one of the finest, most holo of all. It's lovely. 



[Above] Rimmel London Cocktail Colours in Baby Bellini. This is so pretty. The only downside is the one coat claim. Not true. This is three coats - one coat is very, very thin. I want this whole collection though, the colours are gorgeous. 



 
[Above] And finally, of course, a bit of leopard print Konad stamping. Barry M Pink Flamingo with black Konad polish and plate m57.
 
 
 
I think that should just about do it! It's good to be back.

My first China Glaze - Hook and Line

Tonight I tried China Glaze for the very first time! This came in my May Jolie Box and I was happy to receive it! It's a gunmetal type of colour, and I liked it straight away in the bottle...


It went on as this metallic sort of polish usually does - with brushstrokes! I like it though, it's nice and shiny, and on the right side of silver.

To brighten things up a bit, and because I had plain nails the day before, I decided to add another untried polish - Laval in Glitter Dazzle. This is a chunky holo glitter with large and small hex pieces, and it goes well with Hook and Line! The large hex pieces almost look like water droplets on the nail.

What I used:
  • Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle
  • China Glaze Hook and Line (2 coats)
  • Laval Glitter Dazzle
  • Nails Inc Albert Bridge topcoat (I miss my Seche Vite!!!)

What do you think? Do you own any China Glaze polishes?
