Mini Swatches


1 coat of Done out in Deco with 2 coats of the Sylvie. It's a very pretty combination. The first pictures shows a truer colour of the polish in the bottles. The second one is better for the colour on the nail.
2 coats Kose Sugar Plum. First picture without flash. Second with. The polish looks more like the second picture but just a tad bit darker.
The colour looks lighter in the bottle then on the nail. It has a beautiful green flash and reminds me of a mermaid's tail. Rimmel's 819 Green With Envy.
 First picture, bottle colour accurate. 2nd picture (Below), strangely more accurate nail colour, minus the shimmer. Rimmel 640 Twinkle.

And last, the worst of the lot to photograph.
 2nd picture, accurate for nail colour. Last picture for bottle colour. Both are from canmake and 1 coat of each.

NOTD: Silver Screen and Purple Layers!

Hey! I decided to paint my nails with Revlon's silver screen. Here it is with one coat!
Pretty shabby eh? I used just one thin coat. I was thinking, hmmmmm what would pump this up? Another 5 coats? Nah... I decided to layer some purple glitter over it (Ash's loot) and thus...
I dented my middle finger slightly in the process. I have no idea how it happened. I put on just one coat of the purple glitter and *boomz* pretty shimmery goodness! Click for a close up.

I realised my nails are like a Monet painting. Good (to view) from far, far from good. ^^

I guess everyone is worried about their cuticles and hangnails and overpainted nails. But we are human and no one(in real life) will stare that closely at your nails. After a couple of showers, my nails look perfect. ^^

So yes, this is it and please enter the giveaway! Only 5 days left!

More Polishes and an update

Work has exploded. And because of my extreme procastination of paperwork, I am suffering now. I deserve it though. No one to blame but meself.

And yes, about comments. I am a tech idiot/moron/dimwit/dumbo. I stupidly turned on 'No comments allowed'. But it should all be working now. *cross fingers*

But yes, on to happier things. I am shopping tomorrow for my giveaway. And I have decided to have 2 prizes! A grand prize *drumroll* and a mini prize! Rules and such at a later date.

And I shall have to give thanks to my good friend Ash(not her real name). She *sniff sniff* shifted back to Canada a few days back and I'm going to miss her loads. Although I'm seeing her in December, cos I'm planning on spending Christmas in Vancouver! Ohhhhhh, Claires! But I digress.

Since my darling Mama Ash was leaving, she gave me her mini nail polish hoard.

So I have 16, almost new, polishes! (Including a mini Sui ^^ ) Ash buys polishes I would never buy for myself. In case you haven't noticed, I love bright polishes, especially green and purple. Ash is a classy classic chick. So, her stash is mostly pinks, pales and bright chilli reds. But it's lovely! Thanks honey!

(L to R) Revlon 751 Blackberry, Revlon 680 Revlon Red (classic), Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear 24 Blackout, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear 11 Lavender Envy, Sally Hansen Diamond Strength 66 True Love, Sally Hansen Diamond Strength 37 Beautiful Blossom, Sylvie Biggest Collection 11j, Sylvie Biggest Collection 15j, Rimmel 60secs 640 Twinkle, Rimmel 60 secs 819 Green with envy, Anna Sui (gush) 14b, Canmake 8011, Canmake 8022, OPI Done out in Deco, Honey Sweet Long Stay 160, Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Spell.
Hope you like this post! ^^ And much love to Romika and Skulda! Thanks ladies for pointing out the comments issue. And I do read your blogs! ^^ I just prefer bookmarking blogs rather than following. Which I have only recently learnt to do. You guys are the greatest! *blows kisses*

Bonus Pictures: My 2 dogs

Cookie! And Floppy! They are both impossible to photograph. Typical animals move to much. Floppy's picture is a bit dark but I am useless at photshop.
