What are you wearing today?

redfraggle, I love your stamping!

I just found that it felt thick, but wouldn't spread very well either which led to thick splotches on application.

Alcatraz Rocks.

Been wearing it since Saturday and its still in pretty good shape. this has become my goto polish when I don't know what to wear and have little time to fuss about with nything tricky. It may be the first thing I have to buy a second bottle of!

Aww thanks Stationaryace!

I'm still working out the steadiness of painting on my "wrong" hand with striping brishes or other intricate stuff so stamping is a bit of a fallback as I know it SHOULD at least go evenly on both sides.

It's a bit smudgy in places but I'm getting there. I *migh* have accidentally just ordered 3 more XL design plates from MoYou London too as I found a 20% discount code! (Naughtyfraggle)

I finally got the Models Own speckled polishes yesterday so I'm wearing Dove today.  I like them, strange consistency but they apply ok.

They look rather lovely Starrystarry - I'm yet to try them tbh as I don't know if I would just annoyed by the speckles! (I'm a funny one like that!)

Love this one too, it doesn't shift off my nails!

I've got worn off tips but I may just file them down a bit so they don't show!

Blue skittles for Autism Awareness-
Thumbs- OPI Unfor-greta-bly Blue [not overly impressed, bit dark but as it's only a mini I'll use it up]
Index- Sinful Colors Sugar Rush with NYC Lights-Camera-Glitter over [bodged on right hand as didn't dry/set and had to partially re-apply]
Middle-Collection 2000 Hot Looks Show Off [love this one, need back-ups!]
Ring- Poundland Minnie Mouse blue with MUA Mystical Glitter Nails Mermaid over [Minnie Mouse one STINKS but is nice colour so is forgiven]
Pinkie- Barry M Gelly Blue Grape [too sheer-should have done 3 coats, got terrible VNL]

That's another 7 rescued from the slopes of Mount Untried  

Finally got Smitten Glacial Springs today and put it straight on It's bloody amazing but there's no point me showing you a photo as my phone camera totally changes it and makes it look a boring blue.It's actually a really sparkly teal/peacock colour   

The swatches I've seen of that look amazing Sue. I've bought so many polishes over the last few weeks though, I can't justify anymore for a while.

Wesker me dear! Not seen you for ages...where've you been?...anywhere exciting?

It's the lighting in my bathroom that makes them look more pink. For some reason my nails always look better under the bathroom lighting. Which is a shame since folk seldom gather in my bathroom to admire my nails.

Nowhere exciting    just busy with work and other stuff, plus my nails keep breaking so havnt been painting them much

Bummer. They look pretty good in that pic though.

I've taken the speckled polish off now, I'm wearing LD Fiercely Fabulous today.

Filthy Gorgeous "Grunge" topped with Born Pretty feather decals. If you spot Filthy Gorgeous polishes in Poundland, buy them!!! They sell for £9 in department stores.

Barry M Aquarium Pacific with an accent of Tara's Talons NYE on my ring fingers. Too difficult to capture the duochrome loveliness in a photo so no pics, plus I've bodged the application of the Barry M and not one of my nails is perfect    I love the colour of the Barry M, but it's one that shows up every flaw in your nails or in application.

What's the NYE like Disco Diva?  Is it a one-off polish?

Geordie, I saw some Filthy Gorgeous polishes in my local B&M last week but I assumed they'd be cheap rubbish so I ignored them.  Will have another look at the weekend.

I'm wearing Models Own HyperGel Cornflower Gleam again today, with a coat of Claire's Dizzy.

My local Poundlands have had Filthy Gorgeous in for a while, I made the same assumption about them being cheap & crap 'til someone on All Things Nails disabused me of that notion! If you can get Prism, it's gorgeous! It's on similar lines to CG Fairy Dust.

NYE is an indie polish Starry, made by the lovely Tara of The Tara Emporium (Tara's Talons is the name for her polish line). Unfortunately she doesn't have it left in either shop so I could link you, but to describe it, it's a shimmery aqua/green based crelly with matte white, glitter teal and lime green holographic hexes in, really pretty.

That's really pretty. How did you get the glitter so evenly spaced, did you place them individually?

HanSpan wrote:That's really pretty. How did you get the glitter so evenly spaced, did you place them individually?

Yes, the glitter is really quite sparse so I placed them individually, it would have been far too random otherwise. Then when I'd placed them individually I didn't think it was random enough. Never happy me.

LOL. I think its perfect, and I am a perfectionist myself.

Cleanup and some detailsing still required but I wanted to get a pic before my camera battery died. Not too bad for a first attempt but I would like to do better!

I'm wearing A England Briar Rose today. It's the first time I've put polish on for weeks.

Barry M Cappucino, decided I wanted a bit of a palate cleanser after wearing so much glitter, texture, sparkles and skittles recently. It's a lovely colour and very shiny, but has chipped already even though I wasn't at work yesterday. So I'll be taking it off tonight but haven't decided what to replace it with yet.
