Quirk Pinky Promise (LE), Butter London Jasper and a change of nail shape

I just wasn't feeling those points this time around - and nails are just for fun after all, so I filed them back to square yesterday.

Here's a lovely spring pink glitter I was lucky to pick up from Kerrie's Quirk Shop when she released a few LE colours last week. It's called Pinky Promise and it's packed full of matte glitters in all shades and shapes of pink and lavender. I love it! Like all of Kerrie's polishes, application was easy, there's loads of glitter - this is just one coat, smoothed out with Gelous and Seche Vite.

I used Butter London Jasper as the base for this mani - it's a sort of lemony-primrose yellow and quite easy to wear. Although I really like yellow as a colour, and yellow polishes in principle, I do find some yellows (especially the eggy colours) don't look good next  to my pale skin. This one is good though. Being a yellow, it's not the easiest to apply, but the colour is pretty enough to forgive it. The formula is a bit on the thin side and rather streaky; I used three coats but it self leveled OK once I put on Seche Vite.

I purchased BL Jasper from my local Boots a while ago and Quirk Pinky Promise from Kerrie at the Quirk Shop. There were just a few bottles of this and they all seem to have gone now - but I'd definitely recommend anybody who likes this sort of glitter to follow Quirk's facebook page as Kerrie has new colours and LEs pretty regularly!
