Red hot Magmah! NoTD

I’m feeling slightly Dr Evil with that title, haha!  Well I decided to go on a layering mission after getting all sad that my Nfu.Oh’s are missing somewhere (so tempted to make a NL order to cheer myself up in the meantime).  And of course I had to use Isadora crackle, and being a geologist by profession I *had* to think this one up!  It’s a bit more orangey in person – but I’m lazy (see the no swedish, this is how lazy I am) so I didn’t fix the colour in tattyslop.

I adore the sillyness of the crackle polishes, so expect a fair bit of silly layering from me.

I give you MAGMA!

Are there any layering experiments with the crackle effects that you’d like to see?

Hope you enjoyed my red hot magmah!

Paint the Town Red NoTD

Sorry for the sporadic updating – it’s probably going to continue a little while longer as I’m quite busy with work, and some bag comissions – I will be trying to get some untrieds out of the way though over the next few days.  I’m back at college/school/adult thou shall learn next week, so my posting might end up being a couple of times a week or some such – we shall see :)

This is Paint the Town Red by Milani, and another of the sweet polishes Magic Maid sent me with the blog sale stuff.  To be honest, while I love a good red, I’d looked at it, and put it back into the untrieds quite a few times before I actually put it on yesterday.  And boy did I regret not putting it on sooner!  It was a dream to apply – one coat gave opacity, I added another, just to even a few brush strokes out.  The formula was easy to work with, and the colour… well just gorgrous – it’s a quite vampy (according to the financer) red, with shimmering glances of golden orange, which give it a wonderful depth.  I’ll certainly be doing a wear test on it – because I don’t want to take it off.

Here have some eye candy…

I’m being a Felzine fan girl here!

and here!

Close up hopefully showcasing that shimmer a little better.

Are all Milani polishes like this? Do I need a trip stateside to take them all home in my bag?

Thank you for reading!

Goodness from a good-un

So far this seems to be my week in terms of people who really are just too lovely for words.

Today is the turn of a lovely lady by the name of Magic Maid (well actually called Nicole but hey!)  She had a sale the other week, and I couldn’t resist the urge to get a couple of polishes.  She then proceeded to fill the rest of the box with some lovelies for me – silly, sweet, super lady she is!

From L-R

Claires Chunky Gold, Sally Hanson – Mellow Yellow, Fingerpaints – Artists Inspiration, Sinful Colors – What’s your name, Tapping Nails, Milani – Paint the town red, and my purry-chases – China Glaze- Thunderbird, Lubu Heels. and OPI DS Passion.

I feel like the luckiest little girl ever!  And the day was completed by a nice favourable council tax reduction – score!

Så nu ska jag pratar lite på svenska.  Jag är ibland irriterad när Engelska och Svenska är inte liknade, men presis nu jag skriver annorlunda… hmmm kanske jag måste förklara i mitt huvud hur jag ska försätta…

Förra veckan har jag köpt lite lack från Nicole (Magic Maid), hon hade rea/sale och jag kunde inte säger nej!  Hon var så snäll och den hela packet hade 9 nägellack (er?) totall  i den  Jätte jätte söt tjej hon är!

Under bild finns listen :)

Jag är så lycklig, jag också hade ett brev från England – jag för rabatt från min lägenhet skätt också! Yey!

(Arghh semester betyder jag har glömt så mycket svenska.)
