NOTD: Minty Fresh Sparkly Flowers

Today I felt that I don't devote enough time to my BM plates and to stamping. I'm not great at stamping, I always manage to make a mess of it but a good stamp can sure make a mani pop and look that little bit extra special.
I had this shimmery minty green in my stash of untrieds (not sure why because it's so pretty), the hubby got it for me a couple months ago, it's by Miss Sporty and it's called Green Lemon. I then stamped (BM03) the green flowers with Nubar Earth and OPI Lincoln Park After Dark and added some green and purple rhinestones:

Here is what the Green Lemon base colour looks like on its own:

Pink Wednesday!!! - 2True Rose Pink Swatch & BM03

Happy Wednesday everyone!! For this week's Pink Wednesday I wanted to show you a very light rosy pink with hints of pearl shimmer - 2True Rose Pink.
2True is an affordable British cosmetics brand which have been around since 2006. Their website says that they have also expanded into Holland, Belgium and Ireland which means that all you EU girls can also get your hands on their polish :-).

This polish is really good for the price £1.99 per bottle or 3 for £4.99.
The brush is round with slightly thick bristles which aren't as manageable as I would like but having said that, I didn't really have a problem with controlling and laying down the polish. The formula is slightly on the sheer side so I used 3 coats (but that may be just because this is a rosy shimmery pink).

I then stamped with BM03 and OPI Lincoln Park After Dark as well as adding some french tips for good measure!!

Hope you like it :-)
xoxo

E.L.F Mod Mauve

I've had this polish in my drawer for months now but have never worn it because I was so disappointed with the way it looks IRL compared to the swatch on the website. After looking at a few other people's swatches (here, here and here) I'm starting to think I got a dud bottle. I can only describe it as muddy red.
I was appalled at this colour when I first applied it but it's growing on me now. I don't really have anything else like this in my collection - probably because it's kind of 'blah' and wouldn't stand out to me if I saw it on a shop shelf - so I'm not going to throw it away but it won't be a polish that I pick out very often. I can't even think of any occasions when this would be a good shade to wear.

It was really hard to pick colours to match for the nail art but I think I picked some good ones which have helped in making me like this colour a bit better.

It's weird to see a picture of my nails upside down like this but I thought I'd shake things up a bit today and take some photos from different angles. I'm very particular and normally like uniformity but I realise the front on pictures everyday get a bit same-y so I'll be trying some more exciting shots from now on.

Shooting flowers

I had such a good time in London on Saturday. One of the best days of mmy summer so far. I even managed to restrain my polish spending and not buy a single one. It wasn't too hard considering I hardly went in any shops!

I have to share one of my favourite pictures from the day. We drove past Big Ben and I quickly grabbed a snap out of the window of the coach and it turned out so you can see my brother reflected in the window! I love it!

To the nails...
