Rimmel Deliciously Dark

One I got from a bargain bin at TJ Hughes.
Very glossy. Plum/damson but does lean black. 2 coats.

I have others like this. Zoya Casey and Nails Inc Victoria. So the latter two will be getting the elbow. I haven't even tried the Nails Inc so that's unopened.

Got 2 more polishes in the post and then I'm telling myself to stop/halt/desist.

Knowing me though I'll just get a bee in my bonnet about something else. Charity shops probably - you know, trying to cultivate a certain individual style as inspired by Vintage Vixen and CALAMITY JEM'S VINTAGE VAUDEVILLE. Look, I can TRY!!!!!! Don't laugh.....Just because I'm a bit *ahem* less physically favoured than those ladies.

Enjoy the allegedly good weather we're supposed to be experiencing.

BB Couture - Dragon's Breath - jelly goodness - more giveaway news...

Rebecca of www.nailsnailsetc.blogspot.com  was raving about BB Couture yesterday and I wanted something easy-going on the right hand as I was expecting bother with Topshop Bees Knees so I selected Dragon's Breath from BB. (Bees Knees proved a lot more accommodating than expected so I was a happy bunny).

3 coats but 2 is fine. How do I love thee, Breath of the Dragon?

Just slop it on. 

Cue the praise for Kim at Overall Beauty. Honestly, you HAVE to buy some just so you can deal with Kim and experience great customer service.

Outdoors in sun.
This is one of those desert-island polishes. I don't have a Top 10 but this would have to be on it.

Now the RoW giveaway for Europe and beyond! Apologies for shoddy photo.

A lippie (Bourjois), some things you put on your nails (in little boxes), 3 of the Barry M ice-cream collection - berry, pale blue and a pale pink. They are all cremes and they'll be off-trend by the time you get them and Barry M has boring product names but it is a brand that isn't readily available everywhere and is identifiably British so....

Anyway the giveaway T&Cs will be posted later today. And the British giveaway won't be as stingy as just 3 polishes, I promise!

Later, later...

Bourjois Prune Virtuelle holo Very Vernis - yes, HOLO!!!

A holo
Plummy?

2 coats + base + top

Next pic in sun

Bottle shots

Goes on like the proverbial dairy product.

Got this from:

http://www.cosmetic-kingdom.co.uk/

Price? £1.99

They have lots of lovely Bourjois, including Rose Virtuelle (a pink holo??) which I must get

Good company this - they sent me a freebie nail-file with hot-air balloons on from Montreal which was weird because I met a woman in Montreal who helped with their annual Montgolfier Festival thus exemplifying the expression "It's a small world..."

This is not holo glitter. This is holo in the same vein as Diamond Cosmetics Chainmail Charm (one of only 2 polishes for which I have back-up).

I love this one. It's so easy. Unlike other holos there is no drag. No care needs to be taken.

The Edge - a haul of 5 - you haven't seen these before, I promise!!

Here they are again. My haul of today..

Guess how much they cost? I'll tell you later.

They are from L to R:

Coney Island

Malibu

Sunset Bay

Moscow

Barcelona

I already have London so I ordered these 5. But what would they be like? Ta da da!

Little: Coney Island

Ring: Sunset Bay

Middle: Malibu

Index: Coney Island

2 coats plus base and top

3 coats definitely not required

Thick-ish but in a good way

All creme formula

Very shiny

I made a right c0ck-up on a couple because I was in a rush and then I got a hair caught in one and so on and so forth but they managed to even themselves out

I am thrilled with these! Could you tell....

I really like these. They are from a collection called: Electric Beach

Well, 2 of them seem to be anyway.

As always this mani looks better IRL, I can assure you!

Ah! The price. Maybe you are not sensitive about these matters but I am! 

£11.69

What? You can't hear me.....?

£11.69!

For the lot. No postage. Ordered Wednesday and arrived Friday.

Thoughts?
