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.

Next Nail Polish - Glitter
As i was queueing in Next the other day i noticed they were selling nail polish. There wasn't many colours, only one caught my eye which was a silver/pink/blue glitter and for £3 i thought it was worth a try.
When applying it was a pain, it was very watery and patchy, it took 3 coats to get an even colour and even then on some nails you could still see some patches. The only positive was it did look pretty for the day but chipped very easily. I applied it in the morning and by the evening i had to take it off as it looked horrible with all the chips. I don't know if that was to do with the day i had (lots of tidying up) or its just how the polish is.

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.

China Glaze Fast Track
This is the second polish from the hunger games collect that i have bought. I had high hopes for this polishes as i loved foie gras so much however i was a little disappointed. Fast track has a beige base with a gold shimmer. It took 3 coats for full cover though a little nail line was still visible but i don't usually apply anymore then 3 coats unless i love the colour.
This colour looked much better then the pictures, if you have tanned/dark skin this colour would be great, i have some tan from holiday (not that the pictures showed) so it looked nice but still i think this polish could of been better.
