Two coats of Mode Hook Me Up which is a nice bright blue creme, with Black Pearl and White Konading and green, orange, red and blue glitter. I used Chez-Delaney plates H20 and H29 and Konad plate m27. One coat of Seche Vite QD.

Underwater World KOTD
I am floored by Glammed Up's ( http://glammed-up-ainos2.blogspot.com/) header everytime I read her blog and was inspired to try my own 'Underwater World'. Emphasise on the TRY! This is my first layered Konad, I have ventured out from the full nail plates! I couldn't fit as much detail onto my smaller nails but I thought it turned out not too bad......

CG Japanese Koi
Isn't this FAB??! I've been wanting to do a neon orange tiger striped mani since 'The Daily Nail' did her Cheetos manicure a couple of weeks ago!
This is 3 coats of China Glaze Japanese Koi over one coat of Ulta3 Allure to help the opaque-ness along. Black Pearl Konad and 1 coat of Seche Vite QD.
It looks super bright, super cool and my husband thinks I'm super rad!

Eyeko Vampira & Gosh Holographic
I caved and ordered some UK branded polishes and they arrived today! My darling child slept for 2 hours this afternoon so instead of making jewellery or cleaning the house, I put on The Birds DVD (man that movie has got to be one of the freakiest ever made) and I painted my nails...twice!! And my toenails in a delightful glittery Mad as a Hatter...don't worry, I don't show pics of my feet.
First up is Gosh Holographic 549 and as you can see it's holographic wonderfulness. Much more magnificent under artifical light (first pic) rather than natural (second pic, this is witha flash), but unlike China Glaze OMG you can still see the holo in shade (third pic, no flash). It needed a full 3 coats before the patching was under control and concealed, 4 coats to make it even. No topcoat as I didn't want to risk losing any rainbow.
This is 2 coats of Vampira by Eyeko, a black base with lots of tiny red glitter. If you are careful, you can get away with one carefully applied thicker coat, mine barely needed 2. Not much of a difference between this and China Glaze Lubu heels, I think Vampira glitter is denser if I had to pick out something.
I am too busy staring at my rainbow nails for another few hours before adding Konad...this will come tomorrow!

Bloom Osaka
Here is another Aussie branded polish you may have heard of, Bloom, in Osaka which is a rich fuschia/magenta/ purple with a gold sparkle....which my camera had a hard time capturing. Bloom formulas are nice to apply and are even after 2 thin coats. The overall color range is not original enough to justify the $14.95 price tag but I bought these before I discovered TD!
I then applied silver nail art stickers with rhinestones in the middle and added 2 thick coats of Seche QD.

CG Unplugged & Mode Diamonte...& Giveaways!
I'm loving this mani but not loving the photos, it won't show the BLING!! These nails are SUPER DOOPER blingy with rainbow blindness! I'm sure I have shown them to everyone I know at least twice.
2 coats of China Glaze Unplugged, a lovely shimmery chocolate color with 2 coats of Mode Diamonte (an Australian brand on the cheap side at only $2.45 a bottle...I even stocked up on a second bottle of this for a backup). No top coat was needed as they were nice and smooth.

Ulta3 Allure
I had a bright orange Cheetos Tiger manicure all lined up then I recieved some long awaited Chez-Delaney plates in the mail... with my new spidys and webs plate I have been hanging out for! So I picked out a new nude color, Ulta3 Allure, 2 coats with Black Pearl Konading and one coat of Seche QD.
And a pic with my one and only Goth whopper ring, an awesome one of a kind sterling silver and amythest crystal boulder ring handmade by a jeweller on Etsy.
