ILNP ULTRA CHROME BRUSH STROKE - OIL SPILL NAILS

*VERY PIC HEAVY* 

Hi guys, hope you had a lovely weekend, I've had a tonne of work to do!
So on Tuesday I had a lovely package waiting for me when I got home from uni and in it were the 3 Ultra Chrome polishes I ordered from ILNP! I don't normally buy expensive nail polish but these were too beautiful to miss and I haven't bought nail polish is like over 3 months :o !
So I've been wearing each one for a day or two and I love them all soo much I will be showing you them all soon! So I knew I wanted to use them all together but wasn't sure how and ended up doing a brush stroke mani! 
I started off with 1 coat of Angelica black ( I can't remember the name!) Then I just did small brush strokes with Birefringence, Cygnus Loop and Mutagen. Cygnus Loop and Birefringence were quite similar so I used more of Mutagen to break it up. 
This looked amazing in all lighting but when I tried to get some underwater shots, Holy Moly, I was blown away. This honestly looks like an oil spill underwater and it shows so many gorgeous colours. 
There are a bazillion photos so I'll shut up now and you can click on to see the photos!

BUTTER LONDON CAKE HOLE & GLITZOLOGY CRUELLA

Hi guys, ok so I've changed my blog design! I've been meaning to update my blog design and layout for some time but I've put it off for so long mainly because I'm not the best with blog layout and html and that sort of stuff and secondly because I had no idea what to do with the design! 
Today though I had a light bulb moment and thought I'll just try it out, so I created the header and messed about with page widths and backgrounds and tab colours etc. and this is what I ended up with! I think I like it but I still have some fiddling to do! 

Anywho so today I have a simple layering notd to show you. I started off with two coats of Butter London Cake Hole and then applied one coat of Glitzology Cruella which I got in a blog sale. 






I love black and white glitter :) do you?

I'm really tird today guys so I'm gonna keep it short and leave you with lots of pretty pictures and let them do the talking for me. 
This is just one coat of Lush Lacquer Clowning around over two coats of OPI Solitaire which I showed you yesterday. I love this so much, the neon glitter pops and there's still some sparkle !

LUSH LACQUER CLOWNING AROUND

Hi guys, I hope you've all had a great week, I've been rather quite this week because it's been rather stressful but today I received some amazing news, some news I had been wishing for all year! I don't really want to say right now. Anyway I'm really excited to a chilled out stress free weekend, I hope you guys enjoy your weekend too! 
So today I have a gorgeous polish to show you, this has been a lemming since I first saw swatches. I got this for my birthday back in May and I tried it over a variety of colours but it looks best over white in my opinion!













Seeing these pictures again have made me so happy, I have so much love for this polish! The only thing I would say is that the clear base of the polish appears to be slightly pink! Other than that though it's just beautiful!
Have you guys got this?

STICKS N' STONES

I couldn't wait to try this polish when I got it, I also couldn't decide one colour to layer this with, eventually I decided on Fashion Friday and Mermaid's Lagoon from the Julieg collection for Jesse's Girl, which are both gorgeous polishes : )
This is my first indie, mainly because I'm not a fan of stalking the seller's shops and some of the crazy shipping prices to the uk ! I didn't really want to get sucked in to it all ! As predicted though after using this I need more lol, oh well, let's see how long I can last 
Now this is a really dense glitter and it was a bit thick which meant some of the glitter clumped, so I wiped 90% of it off the brush and then painted it on and it worked beautifully, it also means my bottle will last a while ; ) 






Such a gorgeous polish, do you guys have it or one of it's many many dupes ?
