Repaint: Rimmel ~ Fruities ~ Apricot Punch

Absolutely adore this colour! Just bought it today and I am so happy with it.

Rimmel "Fruities" Apricot Punch




It looks a lot more orange on my nails in this photo than it actually looks. The colour when painted is closer to the colour of the bottle of polish in the photo.

Repaint: Orly ~ Iron Butterfly

Love this colour. It is a matte deep charcoal shimmer
but I have used a top coat so it has more of a shine to it.

It only needs one coat but as I did a poor job of the first one,
I did two coats.

One coat:



2 coats with top coat:

Nail Polish Storage #2

My fantastic husband did this for me on the weekend:




He even {mostly} replaced the polishes in order of colour that I'd originally put them in after he'd hung it.

Repaint: Portmans 'Combat'

Had to buy a couple of polishes yesterday when I was buying something else at Portmans, and am really happy with all the colours I got. This is one called Combat. It is pale grey with a real sheen and sparkle to it.

Repaint: OPI Lincoln Park After Dark Suede

This is another one of my new polishes. I have the normal OPI Lincoln Park After Dark, but this is the newer suede version of it. It has a matte effect to it, so it isn't overly sparkly, which I love. You can always put top coat over it to make it sparkle though!




Repaint: Sally Hansen "Tyin' The Knot"

I bought this colour yesterday when I was wandering in my lunch hour and I just love it. It is Sally Hansen "Tyin' The Knot" from the Diamond Strength range.

I love getting parcels!

I have placed a few online orders lately that are slowly trickling in to my letterbox. I just love getting parcels!

One that arrived yesterday was another nail polish order from the USA.




{excuse the messy desk}

Included in this order were the following polishes:

China Glaze:
Cracked concrete
Swing baby
Below deck
Sea spray
Recycle
Bogie
Jitterbug
Robotica

Orly:
Iron Butterfly
Goth

OPI:
Bastille my heart
Brand new skates
Lincoln Park After Dark suede
Skull & glossbones

Just a few to add to the collection!

Unfortunately one bottle smashed in transit, so everything got a bit covered but some nail polish remover fixed all that!

I bought a grey crackle (China Glaze Cracked Concrete) to try to get myself into crackle polishes but I think they are just not my thing. I tried it over the red I was wearing yesterday and I think it just looks strange!





Hopefully some more parcels show up soon!

Repaint: Revlon Cotton Candy

This gorgeous colour was sent to me by one of my beautiful friends, Camilla. It is from a new Revlon range which are actually scented. This one really smells like it's name, Cotton Candy!




Love it! Thanks Cam! xx

Op Shop Find!

In a trawl through the op shops with my sister on Saturday, I found an old beauty case like the one my grandmother used to own and couldn't resist buying it.

So I brought it home, cleaned it up and filled it...



It is the perfect size for all my nail polishes and mani/pedi supplies, though it is quite heavy now!






Isn't it cute?

Repaint: OPI Have You Seen My Limo?

This colour looks quite different in the bottle. It has a real greenish shimmer to it, but when it is actually on your nails it isn't as noticeable. I quite like it for something dark but a bit different!

Repaint: OPI California Raspberry

This polish is very sheer, I can see the whites of my nails through three coats. I think I will try one more coat and see how I go...
