Shrek had a Birthday!

Ok guys, I am seriously in love with this manicure. I think my photos turned out a bit better than the last post, so that is a huge plus. I've been wearing this for three days now and I have no intention of taking it off. It's so gorgeous! If Shrek had a birthday party, this is what would be everywhere. =)

This is Zoya's Mitza from their summer 2011 matte collection with Wet n' Wild's Party of Five Glitters on top. I really like Zoya's Mitzi and their matte polishes are some of the easiest that I've worked with, but this colour was such a pain to apply. It took five coats on some nails to make it opaque because the colour kept cracking in weird places. Stupid matte polishes. Party of Five Glitters is amazing. It has large silver hexagonal glitters and and smaller purple, pink and green glitters. I quite liked the matte effect but wanted to jazz it up a bit, hence the glitter. I also needed something to cover up the bumpy effect that Mitzi gave me. Here's a photo before glitter, so you can see the awkward bumpy-ness of Mitzi.

Arg! It makes me so sad. But all in all this mani is perfect, in my eyes. =) I covered it all with a coat of Sally Hansen's Insta-Dry and it covered up all the glitter bumps fairly well. Here is one more photo to drool over =)

I hope you guys enjoyed this manicure as much as me! If you like awkward Shrek-y colours then I hope you did! Till next time, <3

First Nail Post!

Hello ladies and gents. I'm doing my very first nail of the day post.. Woah. I've been slowly becoming more and more obsessed with nail polish over the last couple months and I probably read nail polish blogs more often than watching makeup youtube videos now. Which is so surprising. Anywhooo, I apologize that these photos aren't the best but I'm just getting used to taking awkward photos of my nails. I have no idea how all the wonderful ladies that I read do it =)

Recently-ish I made an order off of fabulousstreet.com when the coveted Nfu Oh 61 came back into stock. Surprisingly I haven't worn that yet but I also bought Nfu Oh 51 which is an amazing purple-reddish-gold-blue flakie. It looks purple when simply on the nail but every single light reflection will bring out a different colour to it. Amazing!

The photo clearly does not do it justice but you can see the different colours that show up when wearing this polish. I promise that there is more gold and bluey-green snuck into the formulation of this polish than my photos show.

Oh this polish is beautiful! I applied two coats of it over Barry M's Berry Ice Cream, just to have a nice base underneath.

Nfu Oh 51 is a little goopy to apply and my brush came a bit distorted, but it is definitely worth the hassle. The only downside was tip wear. After one day the the tip wear was ridiculous, even with my usual top coat of Sally Hansen Insta-Dry. But there was no chipping even after three days. I would have kept it on longer but I was itching to try out another nail combo.. But that is for the next post! Hope you guys enjoyed this post, let me know if you want to see more nail of the days =) Have you tried anything from Nfu Oh? Any recommendations?
