Emily De Molly Take That Garter Off

So today I have a custom which is one of 3 which was kindly gifted to me for my wedding by my awesome friend Nicole. These were my first, and so far only Emily De Molly's, but they certainly won't be my last! The other one I have worn so far is Happily Ever After which you can see here.

So, I thought still being in the spirit of Christmas this would be a festive polish to wear. Take That Garter Off is a mix of red and pink glitters in a dark red jelly base. This mani was perfect when I went to bed but when I woke up I had shrinkage at the cuticle so here I have patched it up, you can still see a little, especially on the middle finger sadly. This was the first time I have had shrinkage with HK Girl topcoat but I'll keep an eye on that. Maybe it doesn't like Jelly's? Maybe I wasn't careful enough with it on this occasion?

So for this mani I used 3 coats of Take That Garter Off and a topcoat of HK Girl.

I adore this polish, it really is squishy and has such a depth to it.

I need more Emily De Molly's in my life for sure.

Thanks so much Nicole. x

It's like a jelly soup!

And look who was watching me when I took the pictures.Why do cats always like to lay on something??

Girly Bits Howl At The Moon

I received an amazing package on Friday - an order all the way from Canada... yes it's my Girly Bits!!!!!

I love my Girly Bits packages, Pam wraps them beautifully and they feel like receiving a gift. One of the pretties I had inside was Howl At The Moon which is from Pam's new Calendar Girls collection.

Coincidentially it was my hen do on Saturday and I did have my mani all planned out but when I saw this I knew it would go with my dress and I had to wear it. Funnily enough when I arrived several of my friends said that they had painted their nails because they knew they were going to see me and everyone wanted to know what was on my nails!! They all loved this one but try explaining you can't
buy it in Sally's and yes the glitter is in the polish and not added after.....

Anyway, Girly Bits Howl At The Moon is a black jelly base with various sizes of gold hex glitters. I used it on it's own, it took 3 coats to get opacity, I used the Nails Inc Caviar topcoat and wore this mani for 3 days. It was perfect for my hen do, I loved it.

 

  

 

Here's all the girls I love!



 

Whimsical Ideas By Pam: Seuss

Now, these aren't really the most fabulous pictures but I had to post this because I was so excited when I got my Whimsical Ideas by Pam order and her polishes are actually more gorgeous than I thought they would be.

This is Seuss. Yes, as in Dr Suess and Cat in the Hat for those people that remember - well I needed the polish just for the name didn't I?!

This polish is a blue jelly base with a meduim sized red hex glitter and a large silver hex glitter. I used 2 coats and it gave almost full coverage (tiny bit of VNL) and I was surprised by how smooth the polish was, it took only 1 coat of topcoat to be completely smooth.

In all I love this polish and I'm so glad I have 2 more of Pam's to try in my stash. I think they are great quality, reasonable and I love the bottles and the ordering system. Pam rocks!! I just wish she offered international shipping.

Details of how to order can be found on Pam's facebook page: here

Butter London Disco Biscuit

Hello fellow polish lovers,
OK for my very 3rd post I have Butter London Disco Biscuit to show you.

Butter London is a British brand but seems to be impossible to find in British stores except Harvey Nichols or online, very strange in my opinion! But they do have amazing polishes and great formulas.


I was lucky enough to get this amazing polish in a swap from one of my polish friends Peggy - how lucky was I??

Butter London Disco Biscuit is a gorgeous hot pink jelly with blue micro-glitter. It was released as part of Butter London's Spring/Summer 2012 colection.

As with all jellies it applied pretty sheer and for these pictures I used 4 coats. It also dries quite gritty which I was surprised by but this was fixed by 2 coats of topcoat. I used OPI Rapid Dry this time because my new beloved Poshe was packed away somewhere!

The glitter in this really does shine through and it really pretty and I love the squishiness of the jelly finish.

I can still see a VNL even with 4 coats and so next time I think I'll layer it over a similar colour or use it for a candy mani over a pretty glitter. I do love it and am pleased to have it in my stash!

Although this is a bit blurry it does show you how sparkly this polish can be!

This is what the bottle should look like:

Did you know that a Disco Biscuit is actually another name for an ecstasy tablet (as in the drug)??


Disco Biscuit can be ordered from Butter London at http://www.butterlondon.com/ for £12 GBP or $14 USD. I do believe that Ulta in the US also stock it.
