Honeymoon Holo Gradient

I'm sorry I've been MIA for the last week. Time has just passed me by and I don't really know what happened!

You know, before our wedding and while I was away on honeymoon I kind of stopped looking at all my facebook groups and polish because I was just a bit overwhelmed with everything anf I needed to concentrate and keep my head clear, but now I'm back and so is the obsession. I am just so loving it all right now I can't tell you! Have you ever woken up in the night to check your phone for new posts?? Nuts eh?!

Anyway, I broke a nail on Tuesday, badly, so it's nubs for me, which I hate. They don't even look like my fingers, so while I'm sulking I thought I'd finally get around to posting some of my honeymoon mani's. This one I did using Kiko 399 Silk Taupe as a base and then sponged Up Colors Multi Magenta and Kiko 401 Peacock Green. I just used a sponge over the Kiko 399 base and I I really liked the results.

As in the UK we are starved of sunshine right now I thought I'd leave this one largely uncropped. Look how beautiful it is. We went to Mauritius and stayed in the Oberoi, all I can say is WOW - they are an Indian hotel chain and if you ever get the chance to stay in one then do.

Anyway, hope you likey!





And here is just a glimpse of where we stayed. It really was paradise!

Kiko Holographic Tape Mani

Now, I wasn't going to buy these, I was trying to be good but when I went to Stratford Westfield for the paralympic opening ceremony I had to go into Kiko to get some polishes for a friend and wow - they are beautiful. I had to have all 4 of them.

These holo's are from Kiko's Lavish Oriental Limited Edition line. The formulas on these are fine for holo's, I used a base of Nail Envy Maintenence and there was a bit of dragging so I probably should have used an aqua base but they are quite opaque. For this tape mani I used one coat of each colour and they covered fine.

So pretty.........
