I think this would be such a great manicure for a toga party.

… used EIGHT COATS to get a polish to look opaque on my nails!!
This is one of my new polishes from Martian Delights and it took at least 8 coats. Oh, and you can still see nail line 🙁
It’s a shame cuz it’s a really nice colour too. Hopefully it will thicken up, maybe in a year or two, haha.

Sorry about the bad colour in this picture – I ran out of sunlight. The base colour is a realy fancy hot pink, not red as it looks in the picture.

I have a few Beauty UK polishes. They are only cheap – but some if the colours are nice – so they chip easily and are not amazing.
Since I am running out of my beloved NYC Top Coat, I need a new one that’s not too expensive since I only ever wear it for a day and get through it really fast.
So, I bought Beauty UK’s ‘2 in 1 Top Coat’ which is fine as a base coat but rubbish as a top coat.
Last night, I finished my nails, with top coat, at least 30 minutes before bed but when I woke up, they were all scratched and dented. Since then, I’ve painted on the blue and added a coat of NYC.
You can see on the thumb where the polish has basically ‘stretched’ because the top coat didn’t do its job and dry the polish underneath 🙁
So, basically, don’t buy Beauty UK top coats 😀

It’s 8.30pm and I’ve just woken up. I had an exam this morning so I stayed up revising until 4.30 and had to be up at 6.30, so when I came in I did my nails, watched Arrested Development and went back to bed (check the link for some chickeny goodness, haha. Sorry, I just love this show).
To do this manicure, I had to use guides. Now, I normally avoid these at all costs because they really bug me and I can do a neater job with less fuss free hand but I had to use them for this one to get the Konad to stay in the right place.
When I say guides, I mean hole reinforcers cut in half because they are so much cheaper. 😀
