Happy Egg Day

Hey guys, how was your Easter Day? Mine was good when went down to the down where my Aunty has a beach house. We took my 18 month old cousin to the beach. It was ridiculously cute. He didn't like water, it was too cold. He is so sweet! He is beginning to talk and he doesn't say words like dog, ball or cat. He says phrases like "What is that?" and "Look at that!" THE CUTEST THING EVER! And he give great hi fives!

I didn't wear this for Easter, I didn't wear much for Easter. I wore Zoya Kieko, I was gunna put pastel dots on it but I run out of time. So this is Essence Black is Back with Nubar 2010, Inglot 203 and 204. YUM!

Excuse the hideous shape of my nails. This was just before I decided to chop then down last week. The idea I was going for was like rainbow of flakies. It'd didn't really turn out I thought but I still like them. I thought because of the colour shift with curvature of the nail, it would colour like rainbow but I don't think my nails are wide enough. I still like though!

Glitter, glitter glitter!

Well, as you'd know by now, it's very rare for me to post a glitter mani. I don't do them often. But I do I like layering best. Which is exactly what I've done. You should also know that OPI Road House Blue is one of my favourite polishes, so I'm going to used it again. Because that's how much I love it.

This, my friends, is OPI RHB with OPI Last Friday Night. I HATEEEEDD LFN until I saw it over a black. I had only seen people wear it as is. It look hideous by it self. So sheer and see-through. Yuck! But on a dark polish. WOW! Great layering polish!

Bluey-jade micro glitter with small iridescent glitter. So pretty. Galaxy-ques. I then added Inglot 204, the blue flakies.

  It really lightens the mani up. Give's a bit of a highlight. Looks icy. Nice, Nice! I quite enjoyed wearing this mani. I will definitely wear it again, maybe for NYE. I need to find a blue creme the same colour as jelly base in LFN so I can wear the polish that's in the bottle!

Inglot 204 Alternative

Yesterday I wasn't happy with 204 over the navy so I swatched a couple of other colours and came up with this baby! It's OPI From A to Zurich. My favvvvvvooourite red. It so creamy, warm and berri-y. Ha!

It really bring out the iridescent shift of the flakes. Gorgeous purple, blurple (love that word!) and blue. It looks so royal and icy at the same time. I think the berrier your red is, the better 204 is going to look over it. It's a beautiful contrast. Subtle yet fancy. I just love it! Now this is worth $16 for an 8ml bottle. That's the down side.

I did ask the lady in the store why it only come in a teeny tiny bottle and this is what she said; "Because you don't use much of it." SERIOUSLY? You're going to say that to a nail polish addict? Just 'cause it's only for layering doesn't mean I want to run out of it in 6 months! HMPH!

Another NOTD

Yesterday I went out an purchased Inglot 204. For those of you that don't know, it's a iridescent FLAKIIIEEEE! Exciting right! Looks gorgeous in the bottle. I decided to hit it with a base of OPI Road House Blue (my go-to blue) then added 204.

 

I don't think I love this combination, I feel the blue of RHB takes away the duochrome because in the bottle the flakes shift from purple to blue to green and here you can just see the blue. This was taken out in direct sunlight.

So I added Essie Matte About You. It not duochromey enough for me but I still love it matte. I think RHB is too dark and it doesn't let 204 stand out enough. I think I might try a white base next time.

PS. sorry about my cuticles. I have a bad nail month. Boohoo
