Nails Inc Hatton Garden over a-england Lancelot

Today we have two pretties I have already shown you alone, but this is a mani I wore on a recent night out, and that was very hastily painted just before going out so apologies.

It is just a quick pop in tonight to show this to you so I'll stop the chatting there and just get to the pictures.  These pictures were taken the day after and this mani then lasted another few days before chipping, not bad for a rushed job.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 1 coat of a-england Lancelot (original post here) with 1 coat of Nails Inc Hatton Garden from the Glitteratti Collection (original post here) with 1 coat of the Shield.






a-england Lancelot can be purchased from the official a-england site here or from Llarowe here.

The Glitterati collection is still on the Nails Inc site here, in their 'get it or regret it' section, and is priced at £18 (was originally £25)

Thanks for looking <3 xxx

Cult Nails Living Water

Today I have for you another pretty I picked up during the Cult Nails sale.

This colour is called Living Water and is a dark bluey green jelly polish, with bluey green glitter running through it.

Even though this polish is a jelly, I only required 2 coats for it to be opaque as still seems very pigmented.

So here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of Living Water and 1 of the Shield - which even with the glitter in the polish was enough for it to be smooth.






I loved wearing this polish and managed to get 4 days wear out of it before I even noticed any tip wear at all. 

Living Water seems to be sold out on the Cult Nails site at the moment but Maria recently announced the second part of the $5 sale and from this post, it looks like Living Water will be included.

Thanks for looking <3

NARS Night Flight

Today I have for you NARS Night Flight which is a black polish with a lot of blue shimmer through it.

The blue shimmer definitely overpowers the black in the base,which isn't a bad thing as blue is great, and it might just of been my eyes, but I'm sure there is a slight purple tinge to the shimmer too.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.





I loved wearing this polish as it is such a pretty colours but unfortunately the day after applying Night Flight I got some - albeit minor - chipping so had to change it.  I will try and wear this polish again to see if I have the same issue, but should say I did not have any chipping after about 3 days with the only other NARS I have - Night Porter.

I hope you like the pretty polish anyway as I will let you all know when I wear it again if I have the same issues.

Thank you for looking <3 xx

a-england The Complete Holos

Morning everyone!

I have something I am very excited to show you all today, and it is not a polish you haven't seen before, here or on other sites.  But I was doing my nails last night and simply could not decide which polish to wear, and when I am in that mood I generally gravitate towards my a-england, especially the holo polishes, as I know I will find something to suit my mood, that does not require a lot of effort to apply.  But not even a single a-england jumped out at me, so was originally going to pick two to alternate, then it was like a little lightbulb went off, why not wear *all* the holos!!

So thats what I did, and thats what I have to show you now.  As you may be aware there are only eight a-england holos so I done both thumbs with Camelot (not pictured but here is my original post)  and then took my holos out and started on my left hand pointer and went from there to pinkie, then from right hand pointer to pinkie, in the order the holos are on the a-england site.  This is how my a-englands are stored in my helmer anyway, so didn't take much effort to work out the order to paint, and here is a picture of all the pretty holos lined up.


I will just say this now so don't have to keep saying it, each nail has 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and 1 of the Shield (which is the bottle I am holding).  I will also link to the full post on each polish when I name them.

First here is my Left hand, which you are all very familiar with by now, so from pointer to pinkie we have:

Saint George, Dragon, Princess Sabra (Tristam Eyes) and Princess Tears.





And then we have something I don't think you have ever seen on here, my right hand, which as you can probably tell, isn't as used to being posed for pictures!  Again from pointer to pinkie we have:






Then since I got a tripod for my camera yesterday too, we have a picture of both hands just 'cause I can.


Now I hope you liked looking at my pictures of this mani as much as I love wearing it, I think I will be keeping this on as long as possible!!

All these polishes can be purchased directly from a-england for £9 (with free shipping) or also at Llarowe for $12.

So I will leave you now with one last pretty holo picture to say goodbye...


Thank you for looking and please leave me a little comment to let me know your thoughts on my holo skittle nails.

Some of the products in this post were sent to me for review.
