Hello everyone, I have a special post for you all with a guest NOTD of one of my friends
We thought we would do something fun before we left for camping at Forster for the weekend. Enter 5 different green-y blue-y teal polishes and 10 ready and willing fingernails. Thank you, Robyn, for your contribution with the wonderful colour selection
Here we have (Pinky – Thumb): Rimmel – Green with Envy, Jordana – Kiss and Teal, ChG – Watermelon Rind, Cover Girl – Mystic Peacock & ChG – Rodeo Fanatic
Another shot with the bottles in the background. How fascinating that they appear to be in height order as well! Ha!
A bit of a close up…
… and a surprise for you all after the jump…
I’m lazy and don’t feel like writing any commentary… so here’s some bottle pic spam from December’s hauls. Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
Warning: Pic heavy. Click for MOAR!
Aww my poor neglected blog! I’ve been slack with posting lately but I’ll just put that down to the busy holiday season
I hope you all stuffed yourselves silly and got some wonderful presents from Santa this year!
Here are a few past NOTD’s, including what I wore for Christmas.
Christmas Mani
I thought I would get into the festive spirit this year with the classic green and red combo. I had Illamasqua – Rampage on my ring fingers and OPI – Little Red Wagon on the others. Not the most original but hey, fun nonetheless!
OPI – A Grape Fit!
From the Bright Pair collection, this is a wonderful purple creme. I had the urge to wear a lighter purple (the majority of purples I own are darker like Lourve Me, Lourve Me Not) and was consistently drawn to Parlez Vous OPI (which I have already worn) but was hesitant about it because I have so many untrieds to get through. This was until I remembered I had this little beauty as a part of the mini set for this collection. It was perfect (and virginal)! I would call this PVO’s brighter summery cousin. I loved it so much I went out and got the full size bottle. Weird thing about the minis, I seem to forget they’re a part of my stash and unconsciously leave them off my spreadsheet, heh! I used to love the idea of getting a little sample of colours but I now have this thing about uniformity across my nail racks (it just looks better). Full size China Glaze polishes stick together, as do the Color Clubs and OPIs. Opting for full sized bottles means I can integrate them into my stash in a more visually pleasing manner.
Color Club – Brrr-Red
This picture is soooooooo inaccurate! I don’t even know why I’m posting it. It appears much darker and deeper in real life with a jelly-ish finish to it. I’m still trying to get my head around the concept of jelly finishes. I can see what is meant whilst applying it because it has that glossy, translucent look to it between coats but I wouldn’t be able to tell a ‘jelly’ apart from a creme at full bottle colour. Who knows!
China Glaze – Recycle
A medium grey creme. I got this as a part of China Glaze’s eCollection and have to admit that I was a little unsure about how much I would like it at that time. The thing about having a million untrieds is that it gives colours plenty of time to grow on you before you get around to wearing them. I loved this! I think I have a thing for these ‘chic’, ‘fashion forward’ taupey, mushroomy and grey cremes. This will definitely be coming out to play more in autumn/winter.
OPI – Miami Beet
Eep! Again, I shouldn’t be posting this because this is much deeper in real life. The name for this one is spot on, it makes your finger tips look like they are covered in slices of beetroot! It’s another one of those colours that play mind games. It’s not quite red. Not quite magenta. I don’t know, but I like them complicated!
There is no such thing as buying one bottle at a time for me anymore…
