The cake is a lie

 

L-R Nail art pens from Ebay, Barry M grey, 129 & GOSH Nero

These are my portal inspired nails, 

for those of you who don't know what Portal is, it's a puzzle game where you use a portal gun to find ways out of the facility. 

It's super fun, and the sequel is out April 18th

Heres the ending song :P

Collection

So here's a random post showing my growing collection;

This was all contained in a Celebrations tub, but i couldnt get the lid on anymore haha
So now it's all in a giant Topshop shoebox I've got about 58 or so now
(The polishes with the stars on are anicent Claires accessories ones) 

This is my mainicure kit I got for christmas, I'm pretty sure it's from boots, I love how cute it is and, OWLS :D

So you can also add the 24 nail art pens I bought like yesterday, not had any problems with brushes in the bottle or anything thus far, and was a speedy speedy delivery :) Some do have that weird colour fade but it doesn't seem to affect the actual colour so *shrug*

Elfin

                                       L-R; Barry M Racing green, Revlon Emerald City(Matte), Models own Evergreen, Barry M Neon green and Barry M Spring green. 

So thats a lot of green, strange how I'm not that huge a fan of green yet its the only colour i have enough shades of to do a graident thing like this.

It's taken a while but I've got the Barry M crackle polish. Tbh, I'm not a huge fan of crackle, shatter whatevs, so when I heard about the MO crackle polishes coming out it was like meh..
It is an amazing thing to watch though, thr crackle cracking, and so so sooooo simple.

My new polishes from ELF

L-R Purple dream, Mint cream, Fire coral, dark navy and golden goddess, 

The top photos are regular finish, the bottom are with the matte finisher, apologies for the mess  I was in a rush.

Some Origins Of Fire

So I totally forgot about posting last week X[ so here's two to make up for it!

So as everyone's doing leopard I sometimes like to indulge myself with some zebra/tiger stripes :)
This is one coat of Stargazer 106 and one coat of Ciaté in Dangerous Affair and eyeliner stripes.
I think the Stargazer gave this a really nice kinda pearly sheen rather than being like, pinky red and flat.

George (Asda) Princess pink and Barry M 298, on the tips. I quite like gold tips also I've been wearing this around a week now with No topcoat and only just starting to chip, so it's pretty hard wearing :) 

Cosmic

So much to my avail I can't get ahold of Eyeko's cosmic polish -.-
Today I created my own alternative

 

Without flash

And again,

With flash

I used Rimmel 809, Blue Me Away, With 17 Nail Xtras as a topcoat. 

The random gems are from the poundstore, there's literally nothing they don't sell! 

This is a pretty messy one I must admit, I was going for a brown leopard print before, but it just wasn't working -.-

Green Envy

So yesterday I was scouring Boots when I came across the sale shelf/bin, I've gotta be honest, never seen so many lipsticks and glosses in my life, all reduced to crazzzzy prices. I nearly bought a red lippy but it didn't have a sticker :( and it being lunch hour I didn't wanna risk being late.
I did however snap up this polish!
Models Own - Evergreen, I've teamed it with  Revlon's Matte Emerald City, for a more interesting look.

Without flash 

With flash 

These photos don't show it well, but Evergreen is a goregous shimmer green, and Emerald City is super smooth and has a slight shimmer to it as well. 

I was really impressed with Emerald City as I got even coverage in one coat! 

Evergreen was only 2 coats, I thought I might have to do three as it comes out quite thin but it definitely builds up well!

However I did get a bit of bubbling which I'm pretty sure is my fault for being impaitent with my nails :P

Holographic!

So my lovely boyfriend bought me a bunch of nail varnishes for valentines day, Inc Eyeko vamp polish!
Here's one of the polishes in action,

GOSH Holographic
(With flash)

(Without flash, half shade)

This is a pretty hard polish to photograph, but basically, you know the disney logos on dvds are all sparkly? yes? , No? either way it looks quite like that :)
I did find when i was applying it that it is quite hard to get even, i've never used GOSH products before so I don't  know if this is something that runs through or if it's just holographic.
I also now have 'Nero' which is basically black so i guess i'll find out!
