NOTD Sally Hansen Hi-Def

Today I'm wearing Hi-Def from the Hi-Definition nail colour collection by Sally Hansen. It's a bright apply green, almost neon like but not as it's much more wearable. It's quite sheer and I needed about 3-4 coats before my nail line became less visible, other than that it applies really smoothly. I guess my only complaint is that it actually take a while to dry.


Sadly I don't think these polishes are available in the UK.

Strawberry delight

Nothing says summer to me like big juicy strawberries (and Cream... ok Pimms and lemonade too) and today my first strawberry was ready to pick...

I just happen to be wearing China Glaze's Hey Sailor which I noticed was similar in colour to the strawberry and so couldn't resist a pic!

Yummm!

GOSH Golden Dragon

Today I want to show you GOSH Golden Dragon which was given to me by my friend visiting from Canada. I had originally wanted 545 which is the fix base but I accidentally said 564. hehe. I'm glad I got this though because it's absolutely gorgeous. Take a look for yourselves.

I've tried my best at capturing it but you can see it's a lovely blue-based green with gold shimmerI think I needed about 3 coats because it's quite sheer.
I have to be honest though it's one of those shades I think looks better on shorter nails... not sure why...

If you want to get your hands on a bottle they're available at Superdrug in the UK.

NOTD - Beauty UK

I recently came across the YSL A/W 2010 nail images and felt inspired to do my own S/S version using a couple of the polishes from the Beauty UK set I got.


The images were shot in different lighting but you get the idea! What do you think?

No buy fail

I was determined not to buy any polishes this month, but I've failed :-(. To be fair I haven't made any big orders online and most of my purchases have been very reasonably priced.
So what did I get...

Sally Hansen Nail Prisms in Lavender Pearl from eBay, M&S Rainbow (reviewed in previous post), Star Gazer 307 (said to be a dupe of Orly Space Cadet. It's also an exact dupe of Accessorize Aztec), LA colors and Astor in White from the £1 store.
I bought the white polishes for when/if I decide to make a franken!

Superdrug purchases: Andrea Fulterton gemstone overcoat (dupe of GOSH Rainbow?) and a mini set of Beauty UK nail polishes.

My friend from Canada also came to visit this month and very kindly brought over some goodies for me which included two old MAC polishes - Varicose Violet and Nocturnelle, courtesy of his sister!

All in all a very good month so far!
