London nail polish haul swatches

Hello everyone ^_^/

gah, I cannot believe it's been a week since my last post. I blame the heat for this.
It's so hot that I feel like a chicken most of the time. September just cannot come soon enough X____X

This is a post I've been meaning to make for a while since I saw some of you were interested in the polishes I picked up from London. So I swatched them all on a nail wheel. All swatches are two coats each without topcoat.

From left to right the nail polishes are:
Model's Own Smash Up in Pink and Purple (layered over BarryM grey), GOSH Purple Heart, Accessorrize Pink Spice, Aztec, Notorious, Revlon Sunshine Sparkle and Blue Lagoon, BarryM Grey, Raspberry and Vivid Purple and finally a grey glitter and a pink shimmer from Claire's.

I hope you enjoy these while I go sit under the a/c to feel human again XD

My Greek pride manicure

Hello everyone ^_^/

how are you doing this lovely Saturday evening?
Today I have a very special manicure to share with you all.
On March 25 was the Greek Independence day and even though two of my nails have recently broken,
I wanted to make a manicure for the occasion.

I decided to make something in blue and white as these are the colours of our flag.

Here is what I used to achieve the look.

After base coat I applied two coats of Orly Out of this World.
Then I sponged GOSH Vanilla Ice on it.
Finally I added the rose 3D stickers and some spangles and sealed everything in with Seche Vite top coat.

As for staying power I had this on for 8 days and it was chip free. I finally changed it as I wanted to try another look. I think it is one of my favourite manicures so far!

GOSH Holographic

Hello everyone ^_^/

December is finally here, which means less than a month for Christmas.
And yet here we are having maybe the warmest winter I can ever remember.
20C today, I cannot believe it *rolls eyes*

I am so jealous of all the other European countries where it's snowing, I want the same here aaaaargh!

Oh well, since there is nothing I can do about that, how about some nail swatches of the lovely GOSH Holographic nail polish. I have been reading about this polish for quite some time, yet it was impossible to find at a reasonable price. So when I found a good deal at ebay I didn't think twice.

Last week this pretty polish arrived so here are some swatches.
As I wanted to see it in it's full glory I didn't use any base or top coat, just two coats of the polish.

After wearing it for four days I wanted to change my manicure but before that I decided to try some of my Sally Hansen and Essence nail art pens on it to see how they would look. So I doodled on my nails a bit. Darling found it very funny and is still teasing me about it XD

I have to say GOSH holographic really lived up to my expectations. It is a super shiny holographic polish, it looked perfect with two coats and for the four days I was wearing it, it lasted great. Plus it looks even better when I doodle on it. That's definitely a plus!

*edit* to remind you of my 400 followers giveaway that is ending on December 10. There will be two winners, so if you haven't entered already, now is your chance ;)

Black fishnet on purple nails

Hello everyone ^_^/

It's super hot here today and I just got up as the heat is unbearable. 29C right now and expected to reach 35 by noon *melts*

But anyway, before I melt from the heat, here is a new manicure.
The base I used is a purple polish by Gosh, on top of that black fishnet using Konad m57 and a black polish by miss sporty.





Now excuse me while I go hide in the fridge so I can make it through the day.
