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.

NOTD Yellow to pink gradient

Before I get started, I just want to mention that I'm trying harder at Social Media. You can follow me on Twitter and Instagram (both @steffalaa)!

I found this adorable knit cardigan while shopping the other day...

Isn't it cute? I loved the gradient so much that I wanted to do it on my nails as well.

The gradient is done on a base of Revlon Powderpuff which seems to be my go-to undies for so many things. The yellow is American Apparel Butter, the salmon Orly Pixy Stix and the pink Cult Nails Devious Nature.

I felt quite giddy having my nails match my clothes today. Usually, I don't give a second thought to being matchy-matchy unless it's for a formal occasion or special event.

Catherine Arley 800

Really bright corally, pinky reddish holo. Three coats.

The second picture shows the holo effect more but I think both pictures are colour accurate. This is one of those polishes which looks slightly different in different lightings. Application was a little gloopy like a lot of my other Catherine Arleys but nothing horrible or too hard to manage.
This is such a lovely colour- really bright and cheerful :)

Ozotic Pro 600

This beauty is from the lovely Carli over at Konad-licious. Thanks hun!

600 is a beautiful rosey coral with a scattered holographic effect. The holo in this is reminds me a lot of the Milanis. I believe this is 3 coats.

Have a great day everyone!
