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.

China Glaze Sweet Hook + Aquadelic

These two polishes came in my little polish haul i bought from America. I love both of these colours.

Any Purple/lilac nail polish i just can't resist. Sweet Hook is a pale purple with a pink tone to it. I really do love this colour but found applying it to be a little difficult for some reason and it seemed a little uneven in places. But still apart from that i would wear this polish all the time if it wasn't for the fact i have so many.



Aquadelic is a green/turquoise polish. It dries brighter then it looks in the bottle and has a nice gloss to it once dried. This polished applied alot smoother then Sweet hook and looked more even once dried. I don't have many greens in my collection as my work uniform is a green top so it tends to clash but if i added a silver glitter on top like OPI Pirouette My Whistle i think this colour would look really pretty. The only negative to this colour i found was when i removed the polish i had green stains on the skin around my nails.

Butter London - Lovely Jubbly

This is the first Butter London polish i have purchased. I'm really impressed with it, it's such a different glitter, i've not come across anything similar.

Lovely Jubbly is a red, gold, purple and blue glitter in a magenta base. It really is Lovely Jubbly,  it's really sparkly and pretty.  I applied this glitter on top of Accessorize one coat Amethyst then applied 2 coats of Lovely Jubbly. This is my second favourite glitter, just below Deborah Lippmans Mermaid's Dream.

The only thing i dislike about this and other glitter polishes is the time it takes to remove them!! the foil method is a must of these type of glitters.

Revlon Scented Polish - Not so Blueberry

Out of the whole collection of scented polishes this is the only one i own, and the smell is just simply AMAZING!!!

I was first drawn to this polish as it was a gorgeous lilac (my favourite colour) not realising it was scented until that even when i painted my nails. Even with a coat of seche on top the smell was still there. It's such a nice sweet smell that the whole time i was wearing it i couldn't help but keep smelling my nails!!

The colour is a Lilac/Silver foil that also slightly shimmers in the sun.

China Glaze and Ring finger design

It wasn't until recently when going through my polish collection i noticed that i didn't own any browns! i have every other colour, glitter, holo etc but no browns!!! so i spent about an hour googling all different brands to find one that i liked and it was no wonder i didn't own any as only one caught my eye which was China Glaze Foie Gras from the Hunger Games collection.

I ordered the colour from EBay Tuesday and received it Wednesday and i have been wearing it since, which is unlike me as i normally change my polish everyday if i have a chance!

In the bottle it looks more like a dusty purple, brown tone colour. Once applied the polish drys darker and to a more chocolately colour and i love it!!!! It only needed two coats and dried with a gorgeous gloss finish.

I was going to konad my nails afterwards but i thought it might just hide the colour to much, plus as much as i love konad, at the time i wasn't up for doing all the clean up involved. I decided i would do an accent nail with some of the nail art stickers i have.

The end result turned out better then i expected. I hope you like.
