NOTD - Peacock Feather Manicure

This defiantly one of my favourite manicures to date! and I simply just couldn't wait to share it with you guys! So here it is ...

My Peacock Feather Manicure

Photobucket

Base colour is OPI's I Vant to be A-lone Star, and these are the colours I used ...

Photobucket

OPI: I Vant to be A-lone Star (base colour), Cuckoo for this colour, Suzi Loves Cowboys,
ChG: Peace on Earth,
Barry M: Turquoise np295, Dusky Mauve np313, Navy np292, Aqua Green np285 and Boots No7 Poolside Blue

So what do you all think? do you like it? what would you change?

C thought it would look better without the base colour showing through, but I like it that way so you can see the shape of the feather.

Subscribe to my YT Channel for a tutorial on how to recreate this look :) It is so easy I am confident everyone could achieve this look.

NOTD - Fiercely Fiona

Todays mani is using OPI's Fiercely Fiona from the Shrek collection.

It is my first time using this polish and I've got to say I hate the colour and the application was a terrible streaky disaster. This is three coats and there are still streaks :(

What colours from the Shrek collection did you pick up? which ones are your favourite? and what do you think of this colour?

NOTD - Essie Lapis of Luxury

Sorry I have been MIA, work has been crazy busy, resulting in me having to work 6 and sometimes even 7 day weeks! urrrgh! I'm tired!

Photobucket

Lapis of Luxury is the first Essie polish I have ever tried, and it took some tracking down as none of my usual etailers or sellers had it in stock so I caved and bought it on ebay. (thats why the sticker is dirty! I take good care of my polishes)

Photobucket

This Polish is from the 2010 Essie Resort Collection, a tropical themed four piece collection and is a polish I have been longing after for quite some time, but I was unsure whether I needed to start collecting another brand of polish. But I finally gave in knowing that OPI doesn't do a shade anything like this beautiful cornflower blue hue, and I'm so glad I did ...
