MISTY BLUSH WITH MORE ONE STROKE NAIL ART

Hi guys, I'm really cold and I have a lot of work to do so you'll probably see about 5 more posts from me, mainly because it takes too long to edit the photos! Anywho onto today's nails...
I already had Layla Misty Blush on and it's such a gorgeous colour and holo, the holo effect is really strong but it doesn't totally mask the unique base colour ! 
So after a full day of wearing this I decided to add some nail art, I wanted to try out some more one stroke flowers. This time I decided to do them in black and white because Misty Blush flashes every colour of the rainbow and I thought it would be a nice contrast!
I did like a double petal flower thing on my pinky and pointy finger but it's not very noticeable. I didn't topcoat this design as I didn't want to dull the holo underneath!
Unfortunately I  didn't have the sun available to take some shots in direct sunlight to show off the full potential of the holo so all the shots below are with a daylight bulb but just imagine the holo rainbow to be 10x as strong ;) 










The thing I most loved about this mani was the contrast between the intense holo and the black and white art! What do you guys think? Is this something you would wear?

RATHER LARGE HAUL

This post should have been up yesterday but technology was busy hating me which prevented me from getting this post ready for you guys ! 

So this haul is from the past 2 months, including my purchases from December and January !

So the bulk of my haul was China Glaze !
Anyway so I got 91 nail polishes and a huge China Glaze stand from ebay (for a really good price) , haha yeah quite a lot, and hidden in it were some amazing gems which I'll show you first  !

The best part of this lot was these babies here :

 The China Glaze Kaleidoscope collection, there are 2 missing but it doesn't bother me !



So I'll just quickly show you the other polishes that were included in here (I'm not including the names here but if there's anything you need to know the name of then let me know in the comments) I will probably purge some of these though!













There were some polishes here from old collections which are super gorgeous but I'll show you them in a separate post, I also forgot to photograph a few so they're not all here! 

Then I found these China Glaze Christmas polishes on sale and had to get them !

Angel Wings, Glistening Snow and Pure Joy

Then I had to get some of China Glaze Cirque Du Soliel polishes, this was a pretty impressive collection and I'd probably have got more if I could have afforded to
Whirled away, Running in Circles, It's a Trapeze 

I picked up some nail art supplies from Born Pretty using a $20 gift certificate I won in a giveaway

Some studs & glequins

Holo glequins

Then my brother ordered me the Cheeky Vibrant stamping plates :)
(I will be reviewing these soon for you)


Then I got some Essie polishes from Fragrance Direct 

Lights, Off the Shoulder, Bazooka

Next from the Illamasqua sale, I ordered these 3 beauties !

Load, Poke and Baptiste 

Sally Magpies had a sale on her Layla hologram polishes too so I got Misty Blush and Mermaids Spell



I also got some polishes from a Blog sale 
Hits- Chameleon, Catrice - Hip Queens Wear Blue Jeans,  Color Club - Take Me To Your Chateau,Sally Hansen Insta-dri - Whirlwind White,  Wet n Wild Fergie - Tonight's Gonna Be Good Night , OPI - Pepe's Purple Passion


I also ordered lots of Swatch Sticks (which I've already painted)


Then I got this lovely Kiko polish from a friend 

I also got this 18k gold leaf topcoat by Rococo from Ebay!

I got these pretty polishes from the pound shop !
Fairy Teal, Green Tea, Thinking of Blue


I think that's it for now !

I know it seems like a lot but in my defense they were all cheap/on sale!
