W7 Lava Flow with an accent nail!

Hello lovely ladies! Thankyou for all the kind comments on my last post. I love your comments. Even if I don't always have time to reply to them, I really really appreciate you guys taking the time to say something nice. Thankyou. 

So someone (I can't remember who, sorry - if I find the post I will link to it I promise) of W7's new polish line on facebook and I simply HAD to get them IMMEDIATELY! They're very similar to Nail Inc's Sprinkled collection but I can't ever justify the price of Nails Inc polishes. They seem very expensive for what they are and the W7s are just as good - awesome quality and a fraction of the price (gosh I sound like a radio advert! I'm not endorsed, honest!). This is W7 Lava Flow which is a milky white polish with red and black hex glitter that floats quite sparsely in the base. It looks a bit like basalt and also like sweeties. I've had a couple of friends tentatively lick my nails hoping they'd taste like gobstoppers or something. I have weird friends. They also said that it would be cool if someone made some kind of tasty nail lacquer that you could eat! Like sweetie paste that sticks on the nails. That would be awesome if not awfully sticky and possibly quite impractical. As well as something of a bug attractor. It's probably not such a good idea, actually. 

The accent nail is W7 Strawberry Daquiri - a beautiful pink polish with lots of lovely shimmery glass-like flecks. I stamped with Konad Special Stamping Polish in Royal Purple using an image from my Dashica SDP Big plate. I ran out of Seche Vite for this mani so I used W7's topcoat which, whilst it's no Seche, is a great cheap substitute! I was pleasantly surprised.

Enough jabbering on. Pictures!!!
 




I looveeee these nails. I think they're so pretty! You can see a bit of the tips at the end of the pink nails, but you can't really see that in real life. Don't you hate it when your awesome camera is so good that it shows up stuff you can't ordinarily see? Ha.

What do you think?

Thanks for reading and I hope you have a lovely weekend!

Purple Crumpet Fairy Spring Challenge Day 26 - The Easter Bunny!

I'm just taking my time with these challenges. I hope you don't mind that I'm behind. I'm just gonna do them as I get to them. I've got two weeks until deadlines, I hope you understand :) 

So this is my Easter Bunny Mani! HOORAY!!! I did this entirely with polishes from my most recent swap which you can check out here. I used Manglaze - Lesbihonest, Manglaze - ILF and Nerdlaquer - All of Time and Space. Lesbihonest (gosh I love that name) is a lot more purple-y than I expected it to be and I just LOVE it. ILD is super duper stunning and All of Time and Space - well what can I say. There are no words to describe how beautiful it is! YUM. Some of my bunnies went a bit wibbly. It might have been the gin.
 






And just for you guys - the REAL Easter Bunny!!!
