This is one of my newer colours i just received, it's China Glaze Electric Beat, this blue is really nice soft light blue creme. The polish went on really nice, it only took 3 coats, could of gotten away with 2 very careful coats.

China Glaze Pink Plumeria + Stamping

This is such a pretty colour, looks great if you have a tan, not sure it'll look as nice when your have pale hands in winter but it is still a beautiful colour. It's a soft orange pink colour with a shimmer to it.

This picture is with 3 coats



I then used one of my new Konad plates m85.


I'm not 100% happy with this stamp design, i like the pattern but it didn't seem to stamp on well which i think was more to do with the fact i'm really tired and haven't done any stamping in over a week. I'm going to give this stamp design another go another day and hopefully it'll come out better.

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.
What really cheered me up when i got home was my parcels that where waiting for me. Before i left i ordered 5 China Glaze polishes from America and 2 Konad plates. I have yet to try them out, but here is what i bought.

From left to right

  • Planks a lot
I'm looking forward to swatching these over the weekend

Topshop - Powder

Powder is a light baby pink with a silver shimmer, though the shimmer on the nail isn't really that noticable. It only needed two coats full a fully coverage. This really is such a pretty girly colour :-)

Simple Derma Intensive relief cream




This product for me is 10 out of 10 and is a magic potion to me. I suffer from dry skin alot specially when there is sudden changes in the weather, which happens to be most weeks in the UK lately. This all started about 3 years ago when i suffered from pityriasis rosea for 3-4months (hard to explain what it is, google the pictures) . My legs suffered the most they would be really dry, sore and cracked and really sting when i shaved them. I had tried so many other creams that i gave up on anything working, even e45 cream didn't help.

I came across this cream during the time i had pityriasis rosea and have stuck with it ever since. It really is brilliant. After the first time i used it my skin felt soft and my legs were finally sting free!!! My skin now feels really hydrated when i use it and no longer looks dry and flakey.

This year i have noticed dry patches on my ribs and face appearing similar to when i had pityriasis rosea so i started used this cream in those places too and within a couple days the patches were no longer sore, flakey and red and within a week they had disappeared. It really is my magic cream and i would recommend it to anyone who suffers with dry skin.

You can buy this from superdrugs and boots and is pretty cheap to buy.
