Chocolate Sprinkles Nails....... L'Oreal Peach Splash and Lola Camel Brown

Here's a simple tasty mani I put together with a couple of polishes from the high street.  The base is Lola Camel Brown; this is a new range at M&S - here's their facebook page. This shade caught my eye;  it's darker than a nude and warmer than most of the taupes I have so I think it might be unique in my collection!

Application of this is good - I used two coats here with Seche Vite. The bottle and brush are good to handle, it has one of those pop-off square caps like Chanel, BL, Illamasqua etc and the actual handle inside is a nice shape to hold.  I wore Lola Camel Brown plain just like this for a day when I needed sober nails (for a meeting that didn't end up happening, lol). The colour reminds me of  chocolate ice-cream :)

Then I added a layer of L'Oreal Peach Splash, a pretty glitter comprising lemon and peach coloured matte hexagonal glitters in a clear base. Much as I love our UK indies, it is nice just to be able to buy a glitter topper in Boots on impulse sometimes without having to wait for it to arrive (not to mention postage costs). This is one coat of L'Oreal Peach Splash - the glitters are quite generous - topped with more Seche Vite.

Lacquistry Amazeballz Extra Fine

Lacquistry Amazeballz Extra Fine




I got the amazing Lacquistry Amazeballz polish just in time for New Year 2014, and now there's Amazeballz Extra Fine... the same metallic particles, but much finer... so the effect is much denser and blingier. This stuff is seriously stunning!

The rest of this post is just pictures - this polish leaves me pretty much speechless! My nails look like they are made from metal wearing this. Two thin coats plus Seche Vite because I didn't want to smudge it; the application and clean up was very easy.

I purchased Amazeballz Extra Fine from the Lacquistry Etsy Shop; she ships internationally and my polish took about a week to get from Arizona to the UK.

R&R Lacquers PANSY

R&R Lacquers Pansy


Pansy is a fantastic lemon yellow crelly with various sizes of navy glitter, red glitter and a little sprinkle of white square glitter. It was one of the R&R Laquers 'Primavera' collection, and although I snapped it up right away when it was released a couple of months ago, I've only just got round to trying it out on my nails!

I love the combination of colours; I'm wearing it here over a base of L'Oreal Color Riche Lemon Meringue, which is a very pale lemon polish which seems to make the base colour of Pansy really pop! This is two coats of Pansy - no need for any fishing for glitter, lots come out of the bottle with every brushfull and application is very smooth. Because there is a lot of glitter in the mani, I used a coat of Sinful Colors Over The Top topcoat, which is quite thick, under my Seche Vite to make sure this was absolutely smooth.
