Happy Sunday!
So today I have some more mistmatched nails to show you. I was feeling a lot more colourful today so these are a bit of a riot, but that's how I roll :)
I got to use my new Essence - The Dawn is Broken which I have wanted for AGES and finally managed to get from Carli at Vintage Musings of a Modern Pinup's blog sale. I am SOOO happy I managed to get this. The only other place I could find it was on ebay and that was as part of the whole set. None of the other polishes in the set really appealed to me at all so I would have essentially been spending £30 ish on one polish! So thankyou Carli. You've made me super happy! I also got Zoya - Gloria, Nerd Laquer - Event Horizon, a Colour Club purple holo and some cute little frankens she sent me on top. The Event Horizon is especially cool and I can't wait to use it. I was most sold by the name, really. Event Horizon has to be the scariest film EVER MADE! Me and my band even have a song about it. I can't wait to try all of these polishes out and show you the results.
Sooo onto the nails!
Look how pretty the flakies look!!! YUM!
There's a big long list of polishes I used for these. I'll try and remember them all.

Phew!!! As you can see I smudged the stamping on my little finger a bit. I've been using China Glaze Fast Forward Top Coat as my Seche has turned into a horrible, goopy mess. I tried using thinner and it didn't make a difference. I've got about a third of a bottle left, so I'm pretty annoyed about it. Has anyone else had this problem? Do you have any suggestions about how to fix it? I've ordered a new bottle because my although I like the China Glaze top coat, it's just too thin and smudges stamping really badly.
Anyway! Sorry there's a lot of rambling in this post! Thanks for reading! :)

Mismatched Spring Nails with China Claze - Some Like it Haute
Hi!
I love mismatched nails so I decided to do some using quite muted tones, but of course I couldn't resist the call of the glitter...
How amazing is Some Like it Haute?? This is three coats and it's totally opaque. I don't think it's a grey base; more like really densely packed particles of glittery grey in a clear base with that amazing holo glitter, so it doesn't just look like grey with sparkles - the whole thing is sparkly to its very core! The very essence of sparkle. Plato's idea sparkle, if you will. Anyway, I love it!
I am also really loving Nail Pop - Bling. I have never heard of this brand before, and randomly stumbled across them in Superdrug. They have a really cool range of proper on-trend colours. Yesterday I picked up a Nail Pop Flakie top coat which I can't wait to try out! Have you ever tried Nail Pops before?
For these I used:
Thumb:
E.L.F - Gum pink
Nail Pop - Bling
Index:
Miss Sporty - 34 (they don't come with names - boo)
Barry M - Matt White
Middle:
Misa - Grey Matters
Konad Special Stamping Polish - Pink
Ring:
China Glaze - Some Like it Haute
Little Finger:
Barry M - Peach Melba (With Miss Sporty Purple Spots)
China Glaze Fast Forward Top Coat
Thanks for looking! Have a lovely Saturday!
