BARRY M - SILVERY LILAC !

So I still have a tonne of mani's to show you in the vault but this one cannot wait ! I went to superdrug on Wednesday hoping to find some of the new Barry M colours and I was in luck,  I found silvery lilac and black multiglitter (but that's for a swap) they didn't have the copper one or denim which I kind wanted but I ordered the copper one online about an hour ago and I'll wait for the denim one ! 
Anyways I'm guessing this is supposed to be a dupe for Butter London's Knackered, well I don't have the Butter London, but this polish is freakin' amazing, I didn't expect to love it as much as I do!!! Judging from pictures though this seems to be darker and the holo glitter is a bit more subtle, but it's still an amazing polish ! 
Anyway that's enough yapping let me show you this beauty now ! This is 3 coats 






brush strokes are nowhere near as visible irl !











Amazing formula, gorgeous colour, amazingly strong duochrome, overall awesomeness !
Now is this just not a gorgeous polish? 
If you come across this definitely pick it up !!!

NICOLE BY OPI - DISCO DOLLS

So yesterday I inherited an iphone and it was definitely a step up from my old broken phone ! So yesterday I spent the majority of the day playing on it and discovering new things on it, I'm finally on Instagram(I'll let you know my user name soon so you can follow if you want, atm I'm still working it out !) and can now tweet on the go, anyway does anyone have any suggestions for apps I should get?
 Leave a comment with your favourites ! : ) 


Anyway this mani is from the vault again, which is getting bigger and bigger by the day so you'll be seeing a lot of varying nail lengths over the next few posts
Anywho I got this from Karen and only just got round to trying it about a week or 2 ago, normally gold is not for me, but I loved the multicoloured glitter in it which is the same type in Excuse-moi which I <3
I did love this colour though and wore it for about 3 days which no chips or anything ! (that's probably why I can't wait for my china glaze prismatics to get here ; )


The pictures below are 2 coats 








You may notice I'm not holding the bottle in any of these pics, well I don't think I need to explain why, silly shaped bottles ! 

Anywho, do you like this type of glitter ?

FISH EGG FRIDAY (a week late !)

So by now I'm sure your all familiar with last weeks Caviar drama, but in case you aren't check out this post at Anna's blog.
I for one was shocked and can safely say I will never give a penny to Ciate ever again, I'm sure most bloggers will agree. But they always say good comes out of bad and through all of this it was lovely to see the blogging community sticking up and supporting one another, I was soo upset I wasn't able to post this last week but I didn't have any beads and they only came yesterday so I whipped this up for you : )


I wanted it to be quite springy so I used china glaze kinetic candy I wanted to go for something a little bit different so I tried a gradient effect, hhm well that didn't go too well loll, anyway have a look for yourselves






Well, this mani tbh lasted the whole of 3 minutes, They were so impractical and they kept falling off and one little bead went up my nose ! LOL !

Anyway I loved seeing everyone's mani's last week if you did one leave a link in the comments : )

OPI - DS SAPPHIRE

Hi Guys, I'm really sorry I haven't had a post for you in a while, but seriously I do not get a chance to edit photos and write a post, there just aren't enough hours in the day (or the night either!) I've been sleeping at 2am every day and getting up at 8, there's just sooo much going on atm. 
But once all my exams are finished that's it I have some really exciting plans which I'll be sharing with you and I will be posting a lot more regularly, so please bear with me for now, I have still been doing my nails so pictures are building up and up loll. 




Anyway on to today's nails I have ds sapphire, I actually had this on about a week ago that's why there's some sun, the weather has been complete pants recently and today it just rained continuously : ( 



I had 2 coats on all fingers, but did a 3rd on the ring finger that's why the colour is more intense and holo, and this is 2nd day of wear 










Ok ladies, take care, talk to you soon : )
