The Hungry Asian Sneeze Breeze and some stripes!

Good afternoon lovelies! Today I'm gonna show you a mani I did with the other polish I ordered from The Hungry Asian and one of my biggest lemmings - Sneeze Breeze! 

I HEART this polish. It's that sort of matte glitter, similar to Floam that I just love. It has teeny black and blue hex glitter and it's super dense. I really love it. I layered it over Sinful Colors - Why Not? which I got as a birthday gift from the lovely Carolina from colores de carol. Check out her blog if you haven't already. Her nail art is amazing!

I also got OPI - I Vant to be Alone Star in the same package from Carolina. I wanted this for AGES!!!! I am a total sucker for shimmery greys and I just love this one. I did two layers of IVTBAS and then used sticky note labels to mask off sections and used Sinful Colors - Amethyst to create stripes. Finally I added some little bows from a Hello Kitty nail sticker set I got from ebay. A lot of coats of Seche later (and for sneeze breeze that was A LOT! And it was still bumpy - but it's beautiful so it doesn't matter :)) and voila.

Pictures!

Don't you hate when your camera shows up tiny polish bubbles? They freak me out 'cos they look like holes. I remember seeing a nail art tutorial for making decals that look like little rocks in a stream and one of the comments mentioned that it looked like holes and that they were freaked out by holes in the skin - those little bubbles freak me out for the same reason. Is that weird? Probably :)

What do you think??

I hope you're having a lovely day, whether it's raining and you're tucked up inside or it's blazing hot and you're out enjoying it - or something in between.

Thanks for looking.

Purple Crumpet Fairy Spring Challenge Day 5 - OPI You Don't Know Jaques Suede!

Okay so I'm really naughty and I'm going to cheat a little bit because I'm going to Gambia for a week and haven't had a chance to get ahead with these posts. I feel guilty about missing ANY (I'm going to catch up with the ones I miss when I get back) so this is part one of a two day post.

Day 5 is: Spring Clean - A colour you never wear in Spring. I cannot think of a more autumnal colour than OPI's You Don't Know Jaques Suede. I LOVE OPI's suede polishes. Their lives are annoyingly brief however. I didn't wrap my tips when I did these because I need something I can wear all week so I was intending to take them off straight after I took the photos. The tipwear you see in these pictures is after about an hour and a shower! Crazy! But the beauty of this polish makes up for its fragility. Check these out:

Ahhhh! Oooohhhh! Check out that beautiful suede finish. YUM! I am also totally in love with the OPI pro wide brush. I didn't do ANY clean up on these nails. Nada. Zilch. That's amazing for me 'cos I'm completely messy at applying nail polish.

Anyway! See you on day six!

Thanks for reading
