NOTD: Orly "Glam Rock"

I've got a wedding reception to go to on Wednesday night so I did a pedicure with my fave gold Zoya "Richelle". I've done manicures with this several times, I just love how bling it is! I am wearing a lovely floaty maxi dress, so decided to do a matching mani and pedi in gold to complement it.

Now onto today's awesome NOTD - the matte, the gorgeous, the rich Orly "Glam Rock"! I finally managed to get my mitts on this beauty. It is rich and bronzy and looks just like liquid sunshine when you apply it, before it dries. Once dried it has a smooth lustrous matte finish with remarkable depth! This is two coats over Sally Hansen Miracle Cure.

It'll probably chip tomorrow but that's ok, I don't mind :D

NOTD: Topshop "Copper Coated" Limited Edition

I am finally feeling OK again after a week or so of bad neck pain, and it could be because my first flower of the season has opened - my lovely yellow Petunia "Prism Sunshine"! Also I thought I'd show this cool photo of my Lilac as well.

Anyway, "Copper Coated" is a fantastic bronze with flakies. This is 2 coats and top coat. Lovely formula on this one, opaque and smooth. It is hard to capture the flakies on camera, you just have to trust me when I say that it looks much better in real life!

NOTD: Sinful Color "Color Scare"

As I said, I had a very exciting swap parcel arrive today with a long-time lemming inside - Sinful Color "Color Scare".

It's liquid, super-shimmery, bronze love!! This has shot straight into my Top 20 Nail Polish of all time, in company such as it's equally exuberant Sinful sisters, "Show me the way" and "San Francisco". It is opaque in two coats, glides on effortlessly and dries quickly. This is two coats and Poshe top coat.

HTF NOTD: Nails Inc "Friendly Selfridges"

This nail polish was found in a dusty display in Selfridges department store in London in October 2008. I think it might be a Selfridges exclusive. This is can be considered HTF cause it's a) Nails Inc and b) a limited edition/store exclusive colour.

In the bottle it looks like a gilded metallic red, but on the nail its a glimmering deep, rich, glowy bronze. Like autumn leaves. It's very lovely, and it's a shame it's been untried for so long! It has the nice Nails Inc formula that goes on smooth and is opaque in 2 coats. This is with Nailtek II Foundation base coat and Poshe top coat.
