NOTD and other :)



This is my current mani! 3 coats of China Glaze 'Aqua Baby'. There is a bottle pic on one of my earlier posts. and 2 coats of the miss sporty top coat. I'm pretty happy with it. i found it pretty much problem free to apply :).

Another fringe pic... although you can't see them very well i'm wearing my new Tarina Tarantino earrings. I'll have to put a proper picture of them in my next post

Heres another prague photo. It's the outside of the St Vitus Cathedral. Isn't it stunning!

Going to see Plan B in concert tonight.... i'm not one for rap music normally but i think he's really talented. wooooo!

Back from Prague... NOTD and other pictures.


I finished this book today. It's so sad but i really enjoyed it! i can't wait to see the film when it comes out :)

This is my current mani. The china glaze cowardly lyin'. it's so pretty. i can see how nice my nails look now i've not been biting them and i've been looking after them. i find it really satisfying :).

This is a photo from prague of the john lennon wall. it was absolutly incredible! i'll put more pics of prague up over the next few posts.

This is my prague hard rock teddy. it's so cool! they do teddys for most if not all of the hard rocks around the world. i want one for every hard rock i go to :).

This is my new henry holland purse. i took the picture from the debenhams website. i got it off ebay for about £6 rather than the usual £10. yay for new purses :).

Finally to finish another photo from prague. truely beautiful city!!!

NOTD



This is my current mani china glaze 'Dorothy Who?'. just painted! so i need to take a cotton bud to the edges to patch them up as they are a bit messy. i'm liking the polish! i think it will be very similar to OPI 'Absolutly Alice' which i am still yet to swatch.
very glittery!

it's 3 coats of Dorothy Who and 1 coat of the miss sporty top coat.

NOTD and my baby :)


It didnt take long for me to swatch one of the new polishes :). i decided on good witch? because i dont think i've had a proper girly pink on my nails for a while. i really like it. i think the frostyness of the polish goes really well with the glitter. I used 3 coats but could probably have got away with two. Plus 2 coats of the miss sporty top coat.



This is a picture of my special sweetie :D! this is a old picture... his hair isn't quite as long at the moment... but he's still as gorgeous :D!

NOTD and jac vanek


This is my current mani :). It's supposed to be spring and it's all miserable so i decided to do a brightly coloured mani to brighten up my day. That and i couldn't decide which colour to paint them. I found the yellow to be a bit of a pain to apply. The green went on like a dream. Each nail is 2 coats apart from the yellow which is 3 coats. Plus 2 coats of the miss sporty top coat.

As you can see i am still wearing my Jac Vanek bracelet. I totally love it. The only times i've taken it off since it's arrived is when i'm either washing up or in the bath.

Here are bottle pics of the polishes i used for my current mani, all Misas :).
from L-R: 145 Red Hot Mama, 135 Hanging with the girls, 182 Let's go Green, 194 Right here now no more later, 140 Double Date. One thing i love about misa polishes are the names :).



The 3 above pictures are photos from the Jac Vanek website, www.jacvanek.com . i just made another order since i'm totally in love with the bracelet that i already ordered. The shirt will be perfect for glastonbury festival this year :). I ordered the 3 things that there are pictures of. i'll have to take posing pictures of myself wearing them when they arrive :).

NOTD and other pictures :D


This is my current Mani... China Glaze Blue Sparrow. i bought it off ebay for £2.99 inc p&p. it's amazing! neon and glittery! everything i could want in a blue polish :). maybe it will last that my recent 2day max. in my defense of changing polish so often... i have so many new pretty polishes to try that i want to change as often as possible. it's 3 coats of blue sparrow and 2 coats of the miss sporty top coat.



This is my newest bottle of miss sporty polish... my dad bought it for me yesterday along with 2 bottles of their clear top coat. since it's still 3 for 2 i asked my dad to pick out a bottle of coloured polish since it was pointless not to and he picked this one out. good taste for a man :D!

This is one of my current loves! it's the G harajuku lovers perfume. it's the perfect thing for a dressing table since the bottle is adorable. my friend becca bought it for me for my birthday. it smells like coconut which i adore the smell of! I also love the fact that it's the limited edition snow bunnies bottle. i want to see what the other fragrances smell like since the little 10ml bottles are gorgeous!

This is a little tub of body butter that my mum got me for xmas. it smells really nice and is glittery. the photo below when enlarged does show that it is actually glittery. this is only a tiny tub because it came in a set with two others. i want to find a big tub of just this one as i love it. perfect for on the collarbones with the right top... and since it smells so good perfume isn't needed...

NOTD and other pictures :)


Firstly i wanted to include a picture of my compact mirror. Isn't it so cute! my boyfriend bought it for me from claire's :). i love it. i love hello kitty stuff and i take this pretty much everywhere i go :)

This is my other miss sporty polish! i like that it's glittery and girly and yet i can wear it when i temp in offices and things like that. plus it goes on amazingly! i totally reccomend miss sporty to everyone!

This is inside my Cherry Lemonade Urban Decay body powder. I couldn't smell cherry lemonade but i like it regardless. My boyfriend seemed to like it too :).


This is my current mani. It again went on amazingly... and i probably could have done it in one coat if i was better at applying it :P. it's quite a thick brush but i got used to it after a couple of nails. LOVE miss sporty polish!



This is my cosmopolitan body balm from Urban decay. I used it on my arm to test it out and wasn't majorly impressed.... didn't smell how i expected a cosmopolitan would... and while it tastes sweet it doesn't taste cosmopolitany... and application was weird... it came with a pad to apply it with.
i will use it and i have ordered the pina coloda one and i will also buy the mai tai one in the near future.
and maybe with a couple of uses the cosmo one will grow on me :)

Avon goodies :D and NOTD


These are my two new avon lipsticks. I love that they are heart shaped :D!
The corally coloured one is called kiss me. And the pinky coloured one is called be mine. There are swatches a couple of pictures below



This is another swatch of avon. It's an eyeliner in the shade 'Twilight Sparkle'. I love that it's glittery, it's what made me buy it :).



This is my current mani. 5 coats of 'pretty in pink' Misa shade 139 and 1 coat of clear. I like the colour of the polish but it was a bit of a nightmare to put on and needed lots of coats. i also feel it took longet to dry than other misa's that i have used.
