NOTD: Bloom "Molly" + Zoya Richelle" French Manicure

So I am continuing my Bloom cavalcade, this this its the retina-burning pink neon "Molly" with a French tip in Zoya "Richelle". This is two coats of each with MegaShine top coat. The camera is struggling with the intensity of "Molly"; it looks more 'normal pink' with a warm touch here. But it is actually a cool, in-your-face pink neon. This neon is very slow to dry, even with quick-dry top coat.... Great, non-chalky, non-streaky finish though! I had some trouble with the French tip as I was not very steady due to my fibromyalgia...

I love crazy French manis - the Angela Fulerton range has some cool combos, but you can easy make up a crazy combination yourself. My fave ever French is my Holographic French, it was done with proper extensions so it's really a proper, long-nailed French :)

What's your perfect French??

NOTD and.. ..holy shizzle!!!

So as I am busy packing and moving home, fever sweeps over the nail community! Avid readers may remember this comment on my Zoya Posh post... I requested Zoya make a dark green version of "Posh" - Art of Beauty commented teasingly "Your wish may just come true?" They're weren't joking!! Check out the scoop on All Lacquered Up!

While I am here, please find enclosed my NOTD, Barry M "Baby Pink". It's a really pale opaque pink, super-glossy with good drying time. Not my usual bright self but I just BubbleWhite-ed nails so wanted something pale! This is 3 coats.

I better be off, got stuff to do, places to go. But I will be back soon!

NOTD: Barry M "Pink Flamingo"

Sometimes, you buy nail polish for the name. I know I shouldn't but I do... So when I saw that Barry M had a new colour and it was called "Pink Flamingo" I had to have it. Even more so when I actually saw it in the shop! It's an amazingly vibrant pinky-coral, so hot it melts the iciest of hearts (like my brother's, he said 'for once, the nail polish kinda looks cool').

But without pain, no gain. The formula on this is, I hate to say it, seriously awful. I love Barry M, and all my other polishes are fantastic, but something in the pigment makes this a goopy, stringy mess. Won't stop me trying it again though, but it's only 3 stars for Barry M today...

This is 3 coats over Seche Clear base coat and Sally Hansen MegaShine top coat.

Lina-Elvira Loves It Thiiiis Much:
