Slow Saturday Spam

I am spending my day cuddled up inside watching the crappy weather go by outside. Riveting stuff.

I have quite a huge backlog of swatches and NOTDs to share. So how about a spam post? Haven't done one of them in while.

Rainbow Honey Sakura Matsuri. One coat over one of Sally Hansen First Blush. Pretty flowers! The iridescent glitters give it a delicate, twinkly feel.

China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy. Three coats. One of my favourite neons. Such a fascinating shade.

With a layer of Nostalgic Lacquer Jem. Not sure I'm a fan although it might just be my choice of base.

CrowsToes Cheshire. One coat over China Glaze Let's Groove. At least.. I think it's Let's Groove. The more I look at the pictures the less I think it is. My favourite part of Cheshire are those dashes of gold.

Essie Sew Psyched. Two coats. Sorry about the scuff marks. I was late for a dinner one night and I realised my nails were naked. The horror! I managed to do this mani, get dressed and do my makeup in less than 15 minutes!

Candeo Orchid. Two coats. Orchids are my favourite type of flower. Mine are currently in bloom! I want to try my luck with microwave drying a few blooms this year.

Sportsgirl Nude. Two coats. A peachy-nude with hidden pink shimmer. It's like Ulta3 Blossom Fever with a much better formula. Looks really good with my skin - no lobster hands!

With a coat of Lush Lacquer Party Hearty. There were a ton of hearts in there so no fishing required. Only thing is... I couldn't work out whether I thought it was ugly or not!

Darling Diva Polish Sparkler. One coat over TBN Blue Fluoro. I quite liked the colour combination of this one. And the subtle iridescent base was a nice touch.

China Glaze Let's Groove stamped with 2030. Plate m65. I really love this design. Pretty roses!

Zoya Kylie. Three coats. Gifted to me by a sweet friend. It's my perfect soft pink - no lobster or zombie hands here! I feel as though I have been looking for this shade for years. Seemingly ordinary and even slightly boring, yet.... perfect.

NOTDs - CrowsToes, Lynnderella, NerdLacquer and Nfu-Oh

I'm really behind in posting. Here are a few NOTDs. Sorry, not much chat since I'm in a rush to go out to dinner and then get back to do more study *sigh* Such is life.... lol

One coat of CrowsToes Absolum over CND Urban Oasis. Absolum is packed with glitter! I will probably try to wear it alone next time.

Two coats of Lynnderella Love Potion No. 99 over China Glaze Virtual Violet. A little more red than my pictures show. Supremely gorgeous.

NerdLacquer All of Time and Space. Two coats over Essence You Belong To Me. I didn't really need the base but I was already wearing it beforehand. I hope everything is ok with the creator of NerdLacquer...

One coat of Nfu-Oh 56 over Revlon Royal. So so pretty. I love how glowy the flakies are in the sun.

CrowsToes Triple Black Diamond

I was at a loss trying to figure out what to put this over. It's opaque on it's own at three coats but I wanted a base. In the end I settled for this...

Triple Black Diamond over A-England St George. One coat of each. I didn't want to layer it over black since I thought that might drown out the black glitter, but I also didn't want a very light base either. I thought St George ended up being perfect. I especially love that green-to-blue colour shifting glitter in Triple Black Diamond. It's very cool and the colours work together perfectly.

CrowsToes Herat Breaker

My friend Crow has recently set up shop! This was her first creation. Herat Breaker.

Three coats. It's a dark charcoal-ish purple/green duochrome with tiny holographic and green glitters. It's really stunning. Normally, I'm not at all a fan of dense or fine shimmers with any type of glitter. They look bumpy and yucky. For example, the re-release of the Wizard of Ooh Aah's or more recently, Lippmann's Mermaid Dream. Do not like. However, this.... this works. It is lovely. Not bumpy. Duochrome and sparkly! Very nice.

I won't get into the story behind the name Herat Breaker (no typo!) but it is quite funny :) Anywho, you can find Crow's stuff here. Herat Breaker has been renamed Murder by #'s in case you were wondering :D

Pahlish Train Underwater and some bottle spam

Not too much jabber today.... mostly pics :)

Three coats of Train Underwater. It's darker than the pictures above (which make it look very bright). I absolutely love the pink and red glitters against the blue. Very complex. I'm very excited to try the others I got. In fact, I already have a second order on it's way :D Pahlish can be found on Etsy here.

Now for some bottle spam. Firstly, of course, Pahlish.
