Galaxy Nails Take Three!

Tonight I did Galaxy nails for the third time! I love doing them, and this time I used a lot more colour than I have before!







I used a lot of colours. Most of them can be found here: Galaxy Nails Take One, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments!

Nails Inc Heddon Street and Westminster, Selfridges Beauty Box

I've got a couple of manicures to show you tonight -






What I used:
  • Essie Trillionails basecoat
  • Nails Inc Heddon Street (2 coats)
  • Konad Gold and M57 leopard print
  • Seche Vite topcoat

And the second one:





What I used:
  • Essie Trillionaire basecoat
  • Nails Inc Westminster (2 coats)
  • Nail Pop Pearl Effect topcot (2 coats)
  • Seche Vite topcoat

I think the second one is my favourite, I love the Nail Pop topcoat!

Finally, I just wanted to see what you all thought about me maybe blogging some beauty products. I was lucky enough to order a Selfridges Beauty Box this morning, after a prolonged struggle with the website (it crashed about 20 times during the process!) and I'm thinking about reviewing some of the products once I've used them for a while. I have a really quite ridiculous beauty product collection on top of the nail polish collection! Anyway, would a beauty product post bore you, or would you be interested in reading it?

Rimmel Pro in Ultra Violet and Michael Kors MK5128

I'm back! You may not have noticed since my blogging is somewhat sporadic recently, but I've been on holiday. My husband and I went to Turkey to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, it was lovely.


My nails grew loads when I was away, or it feels like they did. I only painted them once while I was there (is that weird? I just can't leave them!) Here's a picture from the day before I went, with newly trimmed nails:

And here are the pictures I took today:




As you can see, I got a tan hehe. You can also see how much they've grown in 12 days! I think I'll trim them again tomorrow actually.


What I used:
  • Essie Trillionails nutritional formula as a base coat - I like this a lot
  • Rimmel Pro in Ultra Violet (2 coats)
  • Nails Inc Culford Gardens for random dots
  • Seche Vite topcoat

Just quick and easy nails today! Also, because I'm a lucky lady, here's a picture of my anniversary gift from my husband:



He bought me a Michael Kors watch (MK5128 I believe) I've wanted one of these for ages, and I'm so happy with it! It's rose gold and lovely. He even snuck my old watch into the jewellers and had it resized so it was perfect when I opened it.


That's all for now! If you want to see any holiday pictures, I'm on Instagram as @eternallife_

Exposed in Mystic with Butter London The Black Knight

The nails I did tonight are a combination of two of my favourite polishes - Exposed in Mystic, and Butter London's The Black Knight:




To show you how different this purple looks in other lights! Daylight at the top, artificial at the bottom!



What I used:
  • Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle basecoat
  • Exposed in Mystic (2 coats)
  • Butter London The Black Knight (tips)
  • Seche Vite topcoat
 
I'm so pleased with how these look. The tips were an after thought really, but I think it works!


What do you think?

Calvin Klein Electric Blue, Technic Mermaid...and The Dark Knight Rises...

 A couple of lovely blues to show you today! These are two polishes that my husband bought for me last weekend!

First up is Calvin Klein Electric Blue (I didn't even know Calvin Klein did polish...) It's a gorgeous colour, so bright:



This is two coats of the Electric Blue, with one coat of Seche Vite topcoat.


Next is a combination - this is two coats of Boots No7 Sing the Blues with two coats of Technic in Mermaid, with two coats of Seche Vite on top. I wore this to work today and about ten people commented on it! It really is mermaidy! (Yeah that's a word. Now.)





As always, it's virtually impossible to get a good picture of this sort of polish. It just makes the camera go mental.


The rest of my week was spent working, as ever, and seeing The Dark Knight Rises. It's one of the best films I've ever seen. Good enough that I had to mention it here!
