NOTD - Festive Flair nail 3

Ok, I know I was going to do more face posts but well, it is nearly Christmas, busy busy busy!
Instead here is a festive nail from the queen of glitter polishes Deborah Lippmann!
This one is a beauty! Deep raspberry base, with reddish pink glitter of all sizes in it. Application was ok, had to load up the brush to avoid dragging at the cuticle, but this is a multi use wonder, one coat over another colour leaves a hint of shimmer. This is a festive nail so went for 3 coats to fully cover. Drying time was longer than average for a glitter polish but the base is a jelly type which I find do dry slower. Top coat helped stop some of the gritty feeling.

NOTD - Festive Flair nail 2


This is undoubtedly the best festive colour ever! If like me you have a preference for block colours.
This is Nails Inc Chelsea Embankment and this is a 4 coat application. This can be used over another colour as a single coat to create a glittery shimmer.

I left this review until removal as I wanted to let you know what it was like, uh, shall never get back that half an hour of my life! I tried my hardest to pull it off in one swoop, but alas my hands were adorned with glitter afterwards and took mch washing before it went!
Wear was excellent and the glitter was small enough not to feel too bumpy and gritty.

Nails Inc is available at Boots and Nails inc

NOTD - Orly Velvet Rope



or my Cadbury's nails as I call them, the colour is honestly an almost perfect match to Cadbury's colouring! These picture was taken after 5 days of wear, as you can see there is tip wear but no chips, bar my poor broken little finger nail!
I seem to be doing a lot of NOTD blog posts lately, must do more face make-up, especially my amazing new mascara! Trouble is the light is rubbish for facial shots lately! But will try and do some soon.

Orly is available from Boots in the mini sizes and also Feel Unique in the full size.

Application is lovely, but load up the brush when using mini's or it can drag at the cuticle. Wear is fabulous, just tip wear but that's from typing, no chips though!
