OPI - Pompeii Purple + Gone Gonzo

Hello everyone! Today I am showing you a combination of two OPI colours. I recently swatched Pompeii purple here if you want to check it out on its own. Pompeii purple is a magenta infused with blue micro shimmer. Gone Gonzo is a blue based glitter with small blue glitter and larger silver hex glitters. So I used 1 coat of Orly's bonder base coat followed by 1 coat of Pompeii purple and then applied Gone Gonzo (from the Muppets collection) over the top. I really like this look and love the contrasting colours. Not much else needs to be said, but here are some photos for your liking! :)

What do you think of this combination? Do you love it or hate it? :)

My giveaway ends in 1 day and 6 hours and is open to all international locations so if you haven't already entered, get cracking here!

Thanks for reading! :)

Ozotic - 513 HOLOGRAPHIC HEAVY

Hello everyone how are you all? I am very good and today I have a real beauty to show you. . are you ready? :-P

Today's colour is Ozotic 513, a dark pink/purple with seriously amazing linear holographic particles in it! I've been meaning to try this colour for a while now and i'm seriously glad I did! One thing that really annoys me is how top coats dull holographic polishes. Does anyone know of a quick dry top coat that doesn't dull holographics?

Anyway these photos are posted without a top coat so i'll let you leave your opinion on this colour!

Look at these beauts! Sorry but there are a LOT of photos!

So what are your thoughts? Do you like this colour? What's your favourite holographic colour? :)

Artsy Wednesday - Inspired By Shoes I Own

Helloooo everybody! I hope you are all having a great week so far! Today's artsy wednesday theme is inspired by a pair of shoes I own. Today I chose a new pair of shoes I bought and coincidentally it suits the latest trend of nails, Neon + Nude! So this shoe is a nice sandal heel with a nude body and a neon blue ankle. You'll see photos below soon. For this look I started with 2 coats of OPI's Tickle My France-y and used a coat of SV to speed up the drying time. Then I used reinforcement sticker to make half moons on my nails and used 1 coat of OPI's Fly to cover the top part of the nail. I finished it all off with SV. I found this look really sophisticated and pretty and i'll definitely try it again with other colours. Here are some pics!

 Do you like this look?

OPI - A Good Man-Darin Is Hard To Find + CG - Midnight Kiss

Hello everybody! Today is a new week and I am chilling and relaxing which is a great start to the week!

Today I have OPI's A Good Man-Darin Is Hard To Find, a gorgeous neon zesty red-orange from the Hong Kong collection a couple years back. I applied 2 coats and then applied SV over the top. I then used some scotch tape and made a long triangle on my ring finger and applied China Glaze's Midnight Kiss, a gorgeous shimmery gold. I think it looks really neat. I'm loving accent nails these days aren't you? Anyways here are some pics!

A-England - Order of the Garter

I think I have found my new favourite blue nail polish!  This colour is unlike any colour I own (closest I have is DS Magic, kinda) but I love this! A deep dark blue with a lighter micro shimmer blue. I applied 2 coats of OotG and 1 coat of SV. This applies very nicely.

Yumm Yumm Yummmmmmmm! I love this colour! beautiful!

What do you think? Do you own this one yet?

OPI Duo - The Happy Couple

Today I have two colours by OPI to show you, Passion (a very sheer light pink) and Pompeii Purple (a deep magenta with blue micro shimmer). As always, I find that OPI applies excellently on my nails and the formula did not disappoint, but nothing new there! I applied 1 coat of Passion and 1 coat of Pompeii Purple on each hand. I really like them, the Passion colour is very light and feminine and great for a quick mani and Pompeii Purple is gorgeous and really bright that it pops really well with my skin tone.

Anyway enough chit-chat here are some photos :)

I love these colours a lot :) really cute and I loved the packaging it came in! The cutest little cosmetics bag :)
