Can You Say Polish Obsessed? NOTD Again!

OPI In The Spotlight Pink, 4 coats, no topcoat (with flash)



Eve'nin all, and here we have my first Nail Of The Day post from my little(ish) haul. I was itching to try out one of the OPI's first so I chose the pretty pink one called In The Spotlight Pink. This was originally from the Femme De Cirque Collection last year.

After I'd already ordered it I read a review (backwards huh??) and someone said that it was a PITA to apply but actually I didn't find that at all. I applied thin coats, took my time and it seemed to glide on really well and evenly without any streaks. It was slightly runny, but not in a bad way if you know what I  mean?


OPI In The Spotlight Pink, 4 coats, no top coat  (without flash)



The colour is a very sheer, but very pretty delicate warm pink with a milky/gelish high-shine finish. If you apply only one or two coats then you are looking at pretty much zero colour but a nice shiny even finish with a hint of the pink. I actually found this really easy to build up and used four coats. As you can see I still have visible nail line and I think that you'd need at least another one or maybe even two coats to get opaque cover.

I actually really like this polish and think that I'll get allot of wear out of it. So it continues my love for OPI and left me hungry for more! So does anyone else have this colour? Do you love it or loathe it? Do you have any other recommendations for a pink lover such as me? Byeeeeee x :-)

    Gorgeous! This would make a lovely jelly sandwich! Just to let you know (in case you didn't already) I have to fill out a word verification every time I want to post a comment on your blog. All google blogs do this unless you turn it off. It would make it easier to comment if you turned it off :)

      Ooh that's a good idea I'll have to try that out. I've got a nice Rimmel Glitter that I could try it with. No I didn't realise, thanks for letting me know. My ex-boyfriend helped me set this blog up as I'm not very technical, I think I've switched it off, but can you please let me know? I know how annoying it is having to fill those things out! x :-)

My First Experience Of Stamping...

Image
I was really eager to get stamping away when my new plates arrived so I waited until my little girl Gracie was in bed and got all my nail things out. I have to say that I did think I was going to get it straight away and I got very frustrated that it wasn't coming out perfect straight away until some other people told me that you just need to practice a few times. I wasn't sure whether I should post the pics as it was a massive fail, but actually it's good for other newbie stampers such as myself to see what my experience has been like. So to start off with I had a little lap tray with all the equipment I needed and covered it with some kitchen roll as I'd heard this can get quite messy. Then I picked out a stamping plate, the one I chose was BM210. Next was to decide which polish I wanted to stamp with, well that wasn't too much of a choice as I wanted to use one of my new Konad Special Polishes and I only had them in black or white, so I chose white. ...

I have to admit, I found it a little difficult lining up the design on t...

ANOTHER Haul? Oooohhhhh Yes!

Image
Yes I know I've already bought an unusually large amount of nail polish in the last couple of months, but I just can't seem to stop. Is it an illness? Do I really need all of these different colours? Well, those questions remain to be seen, but what I can say is that I really want all of them and as I don't smoke, drink or really spend my money on anything else for me, (most of my money is spent on my daughter) I feel like this is one little vice that isn't too bad. Left to right, Castello Blue, Capriccio Blue, Incantato Purple, Romanzo Pink. I'll start with the Borghese . You may be wondering why I've bought four more polishes from this brand when I wasn't too keen on Milano Taupe, but the truth is, I'd already ordered these before I had even tried it! Hmmm, well I hope these ones have a more manageable, softer brush.  Left to right, Pink Opal, Moon Beam, silver Metal, Wild Orchid, Cherry Bomb, Red Passion.  Lets move on to the Hedy...
