IsaDora Silver Sky Gradient

So Easter is almost upon us and I don't know about you but where I am the weather just doesn't reflect that at all! Anyway, I did this mani a little while ago and even though I'm still wearing winter shades I thought I'd post something to lift our spirits a bit.

So this is a mani with a base of IsaDora Silver Sky with a gradient of Color Club Jingle Jangle from the gorgeous Mistletoe collection and a hint of Girly Bits Hippity Hop for good measure. This mani was so sparkly, I just adore it!

In case you haven't come across IsaDora as a brand they are a Swedish make up brand that do some awesome polishes. I first came cross them when looking at Coewless Nail blog which you can see here.  This girl is awesome and literally made me want every IsaDora, luckily I have a polish friend in Sweden so she has done a few little hauls for me. You can find them on the web if you look hard enough, Amazon UK has them and I have seen them in Ireland but beware they are a tiny 6ml bottle so they end up being quite pricey (on Amazon the price is £7.95 each).

Personally I think if you love a colour then it is worth it. I got a back up of Silver Sky when it was discontinued a few months ago but I'm sure there will be some kicking around somewhere to be had.

Guess what I got in the post yesterday?? NERDS. I'll show you tomorrow. x

OPI Spotted and Colour Club Halo Hues

As you might have noticed I have quite a stash to choose from and so I only tend to wear things again if I really like them, or I mess them up the first time and feel I should give them another chance to impress me. Today's post is a little bit of both.

This mani is an older post that I had stored for you, if you read my blog post yesterday than you'll know that I'm doing the 3 day Pure Oil Naked Challenge. It's going well and I'll be posting my results on Thursday.

So you may remember my first attempted at OPI Spotted? If not you can see the post here. Well that was my first time and I tried really hard not to use too much and just end up with black nails, well I had the opposite problem and didn't use enough so I got drag marks instead. Hmmmm, back to the drawing board.

This time I decided to try Spotted over the Color Club 2012 Halo Hues. I stared with a base of randomly placed Halo Hues so I could get a multicoloured effect through the Spotted. I just painted on lines and blobs (yes that is a technical term!) and the applied a thin layer of Spotted over the top. I was careful to float my HK Girl topcoat over the top so I didn't smudge

I really quite liked this mani, the pictures don't quite do it justice but the holo really shone out behind the Spotted. I'd like to try it again with some brighter holo's next time!
