    The beautful Marina @ Forever The Ugly Duckling sent me some of her old polishes that she doesn’t get any use out of anymore. I will get a picture up tomorrow but for now, here is a manicure with one of the Barry M’s.

    Never Have I Ever…

    … 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.

    Beauty UK or Beauty No-K?

    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 😀

    And I have to show you this. My laugh of the day came from a friend who showed me this video.

    What a jerk. He totally deserved that right?!

    My New Favourite Colour

    I have wanted a torquoise/tealy colour for aaages. It’s my favourite colour but I have never found one. So, as I was in Primark yesterday, I thought I would check the cosmetics as I have a few polishes from there already and THERE IT WAS. I was so excited, and it was only £2!!
    It took 3 coats to get rid of all streaks but it’s very fast drying. And with a top coat, it’s wearing very well.
