My Collection - Blues and Greens



L-R: Natural Collection 'Topaz', OPI 'Turquoise Shatter', MUA 'Shade 9', Miss Sporty-no name on bottle, Miss Sporty-no name on bottle





L-R: Miss Sporty- no name on bottle, China Glaze 'In the lime light (neon)', MUA 'Pistachio Ice Cream', American Apparel 'Neon Green'



Pistachio Ice Cream is one of my favourites still now; there was a bit of a hype when it came out and i can see why because it is lovely and such a complimenting colour. The Neon Green would never fail to catch someone's eye, American Apparel really have done well with making this so neon. It still concerns me about the health warning on the back saying:

'THIS PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN A CHEMICAL KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER, OR BIRTH DEFECTS OR OTHER REPRODUCTIVE HARM'

I've only worn it twice i just admire the bottle now. Does anyone have any more information about the health warning and why it's allowed to be in the polish?

Green to Blue

I thought i'd try something a little more relaxed and not so thought about. I decided to use 5 different shades of polish (plus white) and used a different colour on each nail. Looking through my nail polish collection it was easiest to pick out 5 green/blue polish for this mani.









L-R: Natural Collection Tip Whitener; MUA Pistachio Ice Cream; Miss Sporty Blue Bath; Miss Sporty Ferris Wheel; Miss Sporty Raindrop; Primark Blue Nail Polish



Overall i really liked this and the fade from one colour to the next and it was so simple to do which was great because i didn't have to be overly neat doing it and because the colour was all over the place i found it stayed on my nails longer (apart from the bit you can see on my thumbnail that cracked off)

Little flower

Finally I've got round to posting this and showing off one of the new (OK not so new any more) MUA polish's. The one i got was Pistachio Ice Cream. 


So below is with just one coat, which you can't see all too well but basically i used 3 coats in the end. The brush isn't that great it's a bit short but the polish is good because i found that even if i put a lot on it managed to even itself out really nicely.


Matching top and nail polish eh :)







L-R: MUA Pistachio Ice Cream; Primark (i think) Blue nail polish; Rimmel Matte Finish


I did a matte top coat on top of this because i thought it would look better that way rather than glossy. What do you think?

Do you own any other MUA nail polish? what do you think of the quality?

My Saturday - and Children in Need Nails

1. lots of junk for a saturday night in 2. new opi glitter nail polish 3. salt rock candle
4. OOTD 5. Oil burner 6. New oil fragrances
7. Parsnip :) 8. Children in need nails


First up is this OPI Nail varnish 'Pirouette my Whistle' that my boyfriends sister has kindly given to me. She didn't use it and knows my love for nail varnish so gave it to me. i can't wait to try it out (love of glitter and all that)


I saw these candles in the German market in Birmingham the other day (woo Christmas is on it's way!!) and i fell in love with them. They look even more gorgeous when they're lit up so i will post the pics when i use it. Anyway i thought the ones at the German market were a little overprices so i found this one for £4 here.


Yesterday was Children in need so at the last minute on Thursday evening decided to do my nails themed.


Hopefully you can kind of see the resemblance, i din't have the time or patience to do actual Pudsy on my nails so just did his bandanna.



L-R: Sally Hansen Hard as nail - used as a base coat; Rimmel '055, Sunshine'; 17 - doesn't have a name; MUA - Shade 9; Natural Collection - Nail Tip Whitener; China Glaze - In the Lime Light Neon






Just an OOTD - Jane Norman jumper, Topshop 'Jamie' jeans and my Adidas trainers.
Just right for a quick trip to some garden centres to get some accessories for Christmas!

Baby Parsnip looks so small in my kitchen :D



Hope you're all having a good weekend
