Latest Polish Haul

I'm really sorry for the lack of updates this week, i have been really busy with work and decorating that i just haven't had the time. Even today which is my day off i'm still going to be busy :-(
With christmas not to far away i started doing a little bit of present shopping today, i was so happy that when i got to my local shopping mall it was really quiet. The Queen has come to visit a school just around the corner from me so everyone has gone to see her, which i'm not complaining i get my shopping done quicker with no queues!!!!
As always when i'm out buying presents i always have to buy myself something :-) i popped into Boots and bought two collection 2000 glitter polishes and then went to Debenhams and bought OPI You only live twice. They cheered me up and made me feel like not all my money is going on other people!!
It was even better when i got home to find a little red card from the postman, i wasn't 100% sure which parcel it was so when i got to the sorting office i was so happy to find out it was more polishes that i had ordered from America!!!!
I'm really glad my fiance is working late today as i'm going to have to hide all these polishes from him, we're ment to be saving :-) but shhhhhhh

Anyways heres the polishes i bought today

Opi - You only live twice

Collection 200 Glittersweet and Love Jewel

OPI Planks alot

Planks alot is another of the £4 colours i managed to buy the other weekend in Debenhams.
I have loads of purples but this one didn't look like any of my other ones. Its more of a dark dusty purple. It's applied well if really carefully you could get away with 2 coats.

I haven't done much sta,ping of late so decided to use konad plate m65 and konad white. This stamp was a huge pain, i just couldn't get it to look nice, i don't know if it was the design or the polish but it just didn't apply nicely.

Diva of Geneva + Accent nail

I have fallen in love with this polish, it really has become one of my favourites.
I decided after having roses stamped on my nails i re-done them and did an accent nail instead.

OPI Diva of Geneva

Such a pretty colour. This is a red.plum colour with a golden shimmer to it. When i bought this i didn't realise i had bought a very similar colour No7 Damson Dream. Between the two i prefer this one, it only needed 2 coats only my thumb needed an extra coat which i didn't see until i took this picture. Damson dream needed 4 coats and chipped within the first day.

The only difference i could see between the two was Diva of Geneva was very slightly that bit darker.

My right hand is always that bit messier then my left. Completely forgot to take a picture only remember when i was half way through stamping my left hand.

For this pattern i used Konad white and Konad plate m65

OPI Austin-tatious Turquoise

This was one of my weekend bargins i managed to pick up 2 OPI for £4 each!!!!! i rarely buy OPI in a shop as they sell for £11 and unless i love a colour then i wont pay that money i will instead buy from Ebay. In my local Debenhams they have a Regis counter that sells all OPI products and for some reason they were doing HUGE discounts on loads of the older polishes. I bought this and another colour which was marked down to £6 however when it came to paying they didn't really look and put both through at £4! i certainly wasn't complaining.

This colour in the bottle looks amazing and photographed really well, but it was abit of a pain. It was very very sheer and took 4 coats for a full coverage some nails could of done with 5. i was a little disappointed that the pink shimmer you see in the bottle doesn't at all show up on your nails but in the sun and light the polish is gorgeous!! This is one of the rare polishes that i wouldn't mind using 4/5 coats on. And for £4 for an OPI you can't really complain.

Mini haul waiting for me :-)

Well holiday time is over and i'm back to rainy, cloudy and cold England :-( Holiday blues are setting in now :-( but i had a brilliant time in Tunisia, loved every minute of it.
