Taxi Cab!


OK, this one is cheesy and looks like death on my nails but I had to try it once! For you Mum, go catch those New York Taxis!
This is a base of New York Summer Hush, which needed 4 coats to become opaque and non streaky. It was horrible to apply and I'm loathe to use it again. Instead I have ordered CG Happy go Lucky to see if that's any better. Black Pearl Konading.....a very bad go at it this time I'm afraid. It's coming off tonight!!

Thanks Susie for blogging about my link and taking me out of no-man's land! Kiss kiss.

China Glaze 2030


I have used CG 2030 a lot this past week, everyone has picked it either for their polish base or Konad stamping. It's an awesome color gold and shiny as heck. This is one coat of 2030 with Black pearl Konad.

Holidays


While on hol's in QLD I picked up some $1 bargains. This is one of them by Be Beautiful called Outer Space, a dark silver glitter, on Amy's nails. 2030 by China Glaze Konading.



And this is mine, a previously untested Essie color called Jelly Apple, which is a lovely, true Minnie red. It applied nice and thinkly and perfect after 2 coats.

Mum's Nails


I have just come back from visiting the oldies in Queensland and Mum wanted a Konadicure every second day...told you it was cool Ma!
Here is her first, China Glaze BFF, second day of wear so it's slightly chipped. Nail polish does not like to stay on Mum's fingers.


Here is number 2, Cotton Candy by BYS which is a CRAP polish. It was gluggy and thick and just horrible. It peeled off completely after one day of wear. With geometrical Black Pearl Konading. I thought this one looked great!


And the last one she managed to fit in! No names on these ultra cheap polishes by Groove, it's just ot number 12 on the bottom! Stamped with 2030 by China Glaze.

Flyin High


This is Flyin High by China Glaze and the color is divine! It's one of my new favs and I got heaps of comments on this mani. Black Pearl Konad detailing.

Nfu-Oh #40



No Konad for this mani as I couldn't bear to stamp anything over my shiny goodness! This is Nfu-Oh #40 over Hypnotise by Jay Jay's. 2 coats of Nfu provide lots of flakies, I have found 3 coats takes hours to dry. Depending on which way the light hits my nails, they shine Emerald or a deep Cerulean Blue....very cool!
I then matte-ified them with CG Matte Magic and the sparkle popped out 3 fold, it really is quite awesome!

This is Color Clubs Wild at heart, showing only some of it's gorgeous holo. I added some nail stickers ove the top and after 2 coats of Seche QD, they are smooth with the nail.
