CIATE MOSAIC COLLECTION SWATCHES *VERY PIC HEAVY*

Happy Friday guys, how has your week been? Today I have a big post for you today. When I saw the Ciate Mosaic collection I got really excited and ordered the whole collection (which is quite unlike me) I hadn't seen any good swatches of these anywhere so I couldn't make a decision about which ones to get!

I swatched these a while ago but it's taken me ages to get this post together, blogging is not easy! 

These are the first Ciate polishes I've bought since the whole Caviar drama a few years ago and whilst they're by no means one of my favourite brands these are some nice nail polishes. 

There are loads of pictures so click on the read more to see my swatches and review.

GLITTER ALL THE WAY GLITTER GRADIENT !

How's your day been?

 I made a rather rash decision last night which involved me owning Chanel Taboo! 

So this morning when I phoned up Harvey Nichols and they told me they only had 2 left in stock I rushed into town to pick it up, I also managed to find the Color Club Poptastic Collection in my TK Maxx. So a good shopping day 2 hours,  unfortunately I had to rush home kinda unexpectedly and to make sure I didn't miss the train I had to run and my shoes completely shredded the back of my feet and they're still hurting now :( but I got Chanel Taboo :D (I'm wearing it now, hehe)

Anyway that's enough about my day, let talk nails ! I am still obsessed with glitter gradients, I hope your not sick of them yet though! So for this I did two coats of an Asos Paint by Ciate in the shade Lilly . This is a really old polish I got for £1 (I think) in their sale about 5 years ago? It's a really pretty green crelly !

For the gradient I used China Glaze Glitter All The Way, I liked wearing it in a gradient as it makes the different colours of the glitter stand out ! I then topped it all off with one coat of topcoat!

So that's all folks, see you in the next post!

RED ROSE STAMPING

So you may remember I mentioned a while ago I'd bought the new bundle monster plates, well I accidently ordered the 2011 ones so when I got them I was really annoyed until I saw it was my own mistake; anyway so the same day I ordered the 2012 ones hoping they'd come in time for me to take on holiday and they didn't. My first order took a week to get here and then the 2nd order took nearly 2 weeks so when I got back they still weren't here ! 

Anywho I finally got them and couldn't wait to start using them so this is the first mani with the 2012 plates and I am rather pleased with my stamping here (I'm sure you guys remember some of the previous failures I shared with you!) 

So for this I did 2 coats of Ciate Mistress (which I didn't buy, I got it free a really long time ago, just saying because I refuse to buy anything from Ciate) which is a nice red jelly/creme because my nails were nubs you couldn't really see any vnl. Then I used Barry M Silver Foil to stamp on the gorgeous roses from the BM-323 plate !

Yes I know all the images don't line up and aren't in the same position but whatever I like it ; ) 
I have some more stamping mani's to share with you, expect to see many more, hehe, anyway's thankyou for reading guys and have a lovely weekend :D
