NOTD: Color Club "Snowflakes"

So I finally got to put on this lovely sparkler! :) It's from the Color Club xmas collection "Enchanted Holiday". This is 2 coats with Megashine top coat. You will need two coats of thick top coat, it is a bumpy glitter!

This is hard to photograph - it's hard to get the holographic glitter to twinkle when in focus, but in real life and out of focus it sparkles like diamonds on your nails! It's not an opaque glitter but that is probably what makes it so shimmery.

I am now about to watch some nature programmes on telly while cuddling my wee kitten, he's very affectionate today (could be that his Mummy fed him some freshly roasted chicken!).

Minx "Minxlusion"

Hey kidz, I am struggling with time management / too many tasks at the moment so I haven't been putting nail polish on since Friday when I took off the Hello Kitty polish from H&M. So much to do, so little time! With two weeks til the reconstruction of our house is finished, there is a lot to do!

But I had to show you my latest Minx - it looks a bit like the "Silver Lightning" until you turn it sideways when it lights up with a rainbow effect. Absolutely amazing! I have an upcoming wedding for one of my friends and this will definitely be my pedicure for that!!! :)

NOTD: GOSH "Bright Passion"

I apologise for the awful photo, I can't seem to get a proper photo of this polish. It's awesome. Truly amazing. I will try and get another photo tomorrow of this in the sunlight :) I am in love with this; it's 2 coats over 1 coat of Rimmel 60sec "Blackout" with Sally Hansen MegaShine top coat.

I don't know what else to say. It's another amazing polish from GOSH! :)

NOTD: Holographic French manicure

I had this idea for a while, and wanted to try it with my newt stint of false nails. I love the Kiss full cover nails, they have great shape and wear, plus you get a box of 100 assorted sizes for £5.49. These are the oval ones, you also get square and sport ones as well. I filed mine a bit squoval this time, looks a bit more natural with my cuticles. It's remarkable how a nice set of nails makes me feel better! :)

I put on 2 coats of franken nude pink "Cotton Candy" and did the tips with the incredibly holographic and microglittery Isadora "51 Sparkling Ice" and then the chunkier holographic Essie "Carnival". A slick of Sally Hansen MegaShine and I was off taking pictures!

Next time I will try this and make a strong white French tip first to make the glitter stand out even more!

NOTD: Color Club "Revvvolution"

This is an awesome nail polish! It's a proper black holographic lacquer, blowing the old OPI My Private Jet clean out of the water :) This is 2 coats over Seche Clear, no top coat, as that tends to scatter some of the holographic effect. It dries really quickly and a little matte like most holos.

Lina-Elvira Loves It Thiiiis Much:

NOTD: Rimmel 60 Sec "Funtime Fuschia" with Konad

My SO got me the M64 image plate from Konad for my birthday :) Yippie, he's a lovely man indeed! I was dying to try it last night but my green franken was still looking good so I resisted the temptation. However, today the green is showing tipwear so off it came, and on went Rimmel 60 Sec "Funtime Fuschia" with an adornment of Konad from plate m64 made with GOSH "Holographic". Colours are cool but the Konad isn't so successful, I think I needed to be much quicker with the scrape/stamp than I was. Also haven't cleaned up the cuticles yet, so please excuse the excess polish :)

I've been turned onto the pinks again by various recent entries on the nail blogs recently. This pink polish was my very first blog entry and you can see it here as a funky French mani I did when I had longer nails. I love this polish because it's applies beautifully, dries fast and it's also bright, pink and superglossy to boot! :)
