Dalmatian Nails!

 Woof Woof

I originally wanted to do something colourful but I saw some similar ones on a Tumblr and thought they were a change from leopard print. Plus about 1,000 times easier!

Also the A/W Topshop Unique show had the models with similar nails!

Random white nail polish (still waiting for my China Glaze White on White to arrive!) and Nails Inc London Nights, I used a dotting tool for the dots, which if you haven't got one yet. Why the hell not? Seriously I only heard about these like a week ago and they have made my life so much easier (well in terms to painting my nails!) I got mine from eBay -  a sent of 5 was like £2. Bargain.

Nail Inc. 5 for £10 offer!

Just thought I'd let you guys know that Nails Inc. are once again running there 5 lucky dip nail polishes for £10 for today only!

They did this last month and I went for it, you can see my blog post here - I was pretty happy with the results. Defiantly worth it if your nail polish collection is feeling a bit drab! I won't be doing it this time around, although I'm sorely tempted, as I am saving (bla bla bla) and I've got my eye on a few China Glaze polishes anyway.

Let us know if you decide to go for it. I love the excitement of a lucky dip! It's like christmas!

Nails Inc Lucky dip results!

Last Friday (14th) Nails Inc did a one off promotion. Pay £10 get a lucky dip of 5 nail polishes. Well I say lucky dip of 5 but actually you got either a top or bottom coat and you defiantly got Chelsea Park Gardens so really you got a lucky dip of 3. Still pretty good considering Nails Inc polishes retail for £10 a pop. And as a bonus I had a 20% discount code so it cost £8! Well £11.95 including delivery

But they came sharpish in this fab jiffy bag. Amazing, right?

L-R Chelsea Park Gardens, Aspen, Soho, London Nights and Brixton (top coat)

I'm pretty happy with my colours! But then again I like all Nails Inc colour so it's not that surprising!

I swatched in some dodge lighting.

Chelsea Park Gardens.

Described as an iridescent Pink. It reminds me of a pair of Lycra cycling shorts I had for my Barbie doll years ago. It actually dries matte which is both weird and cool at the same time, although with a top coat it gets it's shine back. Good in 2 coats. I like this a lot, in fact I'm putting it on my tootsies as we speak

Aspen.

Now I'm not usually a red nail polish kind of girl. I just find them, well, a little bit dull. I wouldn't have chose this colour but it has such a gorgeous sheen to it, very, very tiny red glitter particles. Really pretty. A good Christmas colour! Surprising good coverage in just 1 coat too.

Soho

The most difficult to photograph. I love this in the bottle, its almost a baby pink with fine gold glitter in. But on the nail it just doesn't cut it. I had to do 4 coats in order to get a good colour and even then it's very pale. Not a winner in my books

London Nights

A black! Fab I really needed a black, my Barry M ones had all dried up. Not much else to say. Good in 2 coats

And lastly a top coat. I didn't photograph because, what's the point? Strangely it has a tester sticker on top! Er, weird. It's obviously not been used but I mean come on Nails Inc, you could have at least peeled it off!

Anyway I'm about 80% happy with my lucky dip, not bad, not bad!

Thing's I've learnt this week 17th - 23rd Jan 2011

One

Turns out you can eat Lush's BubbleGum Lip Scrub! I was sneakily licking away at it thinking it might be slowing dissolving my insides. But I asked the girl behind the counter in Lush and she OK'd me for the sugarfest!

What's that? A tongue print? (sorry I'm gross)

Two

Nothing feels better that a clean and tidy make-up draw.....but nothing is more tedious than cleaning out your make-up draw.

Look - how pretty!

Three 

You can go out with the tags still in clothes without anyone noticing.

I did with twice this week, once accidentally and the other time on purpose. Remember me saying how I'd keep the tag in my new jacket for a little while longer here? Well I did, and I wore it out as a little tester! Suffice to say I will now be taking the tag out and keeping it, as I didn't see anyone else in it! The second time this week was in a top, luckily I noticed when I went in a changing room to try stuff on and I'm pretty sure the tag was hidden well away, so I got away with it!

Sorry Vanessa. I like your hat though

Four

I don't like Coke/diet Coke/diet Cherry Coke, I want to like Coke but I just can't. But I do like the nail varnishes that come with said fizzy drinks.

 

Anyone for some free Coke?

What are your revelations this week girls?
