Born Pretty Store Glow Polish Review and Frankenstein Art

No, I don't have any glowy pictures, you'll just have to take my word that it glowed beautifully, but my camera would NOT capture the glowy goodness =[
I think I have figured out the camera settings to get it to capture the glowy goodness, but by this point I had already taken the polish off.
Boring bit over onto the pictures =]


So first I tried the two polishes but I wanted to see how they went over white and natural.
The Blue was much of a muchness over white but the Green really popped over the white polish so it was basically getting 2 different greens in one box =]


One thing I was a bit worried about when I got the polish was that the green bottle was a bit broken? not broken but I can't think of a better word. the lid looked a bit peeled and the glass looked like the polish had spilled out, but when I opened the bottle up everything looked AOK so I can only assume a different bottle smashed near this one and it just hadn't been cleaned off properly.






So doing this I realised the green would make an AWESOME Frankienstein Green sooo here it goes -
this was super hard to photo graph - the nail tips and his hair is actually an OPI purple but hey if the camera wont get it the camera won't get it 




rawwwhhhhh hallloooowwweeen =]

Halloween Mark One

So I bought a bottle of Barry M Gelly in Mango over the summer and at the time it could not have been a more summery colour to me the perfect summer orange.

Now that halloween has rolled around I keep looking at it and wondering how I ever used it as a summer colour, it doesnt look even remotely summery to me anymore it is simply a halloween colour... If anyone can explain to me how that works Id be greatful =]

So on to the actual nails.

I love Halloween LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Secretly I am a total goff at heart.
After doing a orange and black gradient nails with alternating black and orange and getting half way through realising I had over blended the colours and it looked silly I settled on orange nails and since I have set my self a target to get better at my nail art not just nail design before the end of the year I thought I'd have a go at a cute lil spider


Orange - Barry M Gelly in Mango
Black - W7 
White - Barry M in Matte White
Purple - OPI Liquid Sand Bond Girls in Vesper

Sally Hansen Greige Glitter Tips

I found 5 minutes from job hunting and interview preparation to actually blog one of the many manicures I've done =] woop woop

In Wilko's the other week and I spotted Sally Hansen Greige and I fell in love with the colour, but being good I didn't buy it. A few days later my sister wanted a grey black Ombre so since(in my head) I had nothing even close to greyish and knowing I'd never be able to mix a grey for all ten nails we went to the shop and my nail prayers where answered, my sister bought the polish :D

So here's the grey black ombre with glequins I did for her party nails and of COURSE I had to try it myself =]
I have to be honest with Sally Hansen WHAT WHERE YOU THINKING WHEN YOU MADE THIS BOTTLE??
The bottle is square, the hole is round, the applicator brush is SQUARE....
Square Peg and a Round Hole anyone?

This was the most frustrating polish to use, the formula was lush went on smooth and creamy basically self levelled itself and was practically opaque in one coat but getting the excess polish off the wand was a NIGHTMARE. =[ 

So I wzas also going on a nightout so I added some lovely glitter =]

Who doesn't love glitter??
