After the 31 Day Challenge I took a break from nail painting BUT NOT polish buying. The last manicure I did on the challenge was using the cling film (saran wrap) technique and I loved it so much I kept it on as long as I could. The next manicure I did, I tried the same technique only with different colours and it didn't work as well, but still for those of you who appreciate nail art on close inspection would have appreciated it.
Since then I have done a Halloween Manicure...
Using 'Boo-gie Down' from China Glazes Halloween collection from last year and for the orange Sinful Colors 'Cloud 9' in a conscious effort to use some untrieds.
A bit of a mini haul from Poundland and eBay etc... produced this manicure...
Look at that Sinful Colors, this is called 'Pearl Harbour' it looks like something from the deep, those little creatures that live at the bottom of the ocean that have crazy filaments that make them light up.
A small splurge after watching PackAPunchPolish's review of some recent China Glaze collections and a trip to Sallys to pick up Acetone, made this two manicures possible.
This is China Glaze in 'Choo choo chose you' from their 'All Aboard' Fall Collection for 2014. This picture doesn't do the colour shifts on this polish justice, it moves from purple, to gold, to burgundy to brown, gorgeous!
Then this also happened in Sallys...
This is OPI 'Comet in the Sky' glitter topper, just go and look at it in person, to lovely to resist! The last purchase was from Rainbow Connection whilst I was purchasing a top up on my HK Girl quick dry top coat. This is my first and no doubt last Picture Polish purchase.
This is 'Fool's Gold'. I did try to follow ohmygoshpolish tutorial on making these look like turquoise stones but I didn't have much success. Never mind the polish is beautiful without any embellishments.
Now I have joined forces with other nail addicts and agreed to a November No Buy and I'm keeping a tally on my Untrieds which must be reduced and taken down to less that half of my total collection.
