Feeling Blue?

With Flash 

My goodness, it never rains but it pours. I thought that once I was moved out of my house I would have much more time to do blogging and catch up on my reading lists etc, but boy was I wrong! First off, I have way too much stuff to fit in my parents house and garage so I'm having to condense by re-packing and also throwing out/donating to charity shops. But to make things worse, my poor little girl has four back teeth coming through, tummy problems and just will not sleep at night. But look how much I've rambled, so let's get on with todays nail polish.

This post is all about Sally Hansen's Laser. This is one of the polishes from their HD line so I had high hopes for her. She is essentially a blue jelly base, with very dense blue glitter that can sometimes flash purple in the right light. I have to admit, this one looks much better in the bottle as the purple is kind of lost on the nail, boooooo!

No flash

As you can tell, I didn't get on with her so well as some of my other Sally Hansen polishes, which is a shame as some of my favourites of the moment are from this brand. I suppose Sally Hansen's for me are a bit like the little girl with the little curl, 'when she was good, she was very very good, but when she was bad she was horrid'.

Do you have this polish or any of the other HD line? What do you think of her/them? I'm not in a rush to try any of the others in the line unless anyone can suggest a great one?

That's all from me for now. Take care all, byeeeeee x :-)

    Great post, the colour in the photos looks gorgeous!

    I have a bright yellow and pink in the HD collection, and I love them both! I actually managed to pick them up from my local pound shop!

      Thanks hun, yeah I liked the colour apart from the purple not showing up much on the nail, it was just the sticky formula I wasn't too impressed with. Are the formulas on this ones good?

      What a great find picking them up at a £ shop! It just goes to show you can find some good bargains if you look hard enough x :-)

    I hope you soon find a house to move to - and that your daughter get trough this period without feeling too ill...
    I agree it would have looked even nicer with the purple ion the nail too, but still a pretty blue - but if the formula was sticky, that's not nice - maybe you could use a little thinner?

      Thanks hun, I'm going to look at a brand new house in the next couple of weeks and it looks promising. It looks smaller than my old one from the outside, but I know it can be hard to tell. Fingers crossed.

      That's a good idea to use thinner, I might try some. I've heard you can also use drops of nail polish remover, dies it work the same? X :-)

    Great shine and lovely color. Resembles a little bit with the Flormar Miracle colors polish, but the Sally Henson blue is more intense.

      It really is a lovely colour, it was either from cosmetic kingdom or fragrance direct sorry I can't remember which one as I've bough quite allot of polish in the last couple of months lol.

    Awww poor you and poor Gracie! :( I hope she feels better soon, bless.
    This is a lovely and very different colour, but it does look like it might have been a bit more difficult to work with than the other Sally's you've shown us lately! :/

      Yeah it was a bit of a pain, I hate polishes that are still getting dents the day after you do a mani with them 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. ...

Orly Top 2 Bottom, 2 coats Ciate Bon Bon,,  Stamping White Konad, Orly in a Snap Top Coat , with flash.  Puja from Cute Nails has set up a new group called We Love Nails . I will be doing a nail challenge every week on a Tuesday. If you'd like to know more,  click here   to check out the post on Puja's blog, This weeks challenge was to do a french or reverse mani, so I got my stamping plates out! I decided to use one of my new freebie polishes as the base colour and I chose Ciate Bon Bon . She is a beautiful purpleish taupe and sooo pretty! I wont go too much in to detail about this polish now, as I have a review of her coming soon!  As above, no flash. For the stamping I used this absolutely gorgeous design from my Bundle Monster plate BM217 with Konad White. The design is actually flowers, but I think it gives a beautiful lacey effect, don't you? 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...
