NOTD - OPI Metallic 4 Life

The new Nicki Minaj and OPI collaboration is pretty special! My favourites were Fly, Pink Friday and Metallic 4 Life. Metallic 4 Life is the one I am showing you today and soon I will have my paws on the other two!

This is a black jelly base filled with tiny silver glitter squares and bigger silver glitter hexagons. Gorgeous!



Application was pretty smooth, 3 coats for full coverage and I had to run my finger along the edge of my nail to smooth the glitter away.



Even with the varying sizes of glitter, and with larger bits notorious for needing placing with a pin, this didn't need it. The particles spread nice and evenly.
It lasted 6 days with no chipping or tip wear (with a topcoat) which is impressive!



As with most glitter polish reviews I do on here I like to do a blurry shot, this shows the mass of particles in a different light.



Removal was a nightmare total pain! Even using the tin foil method oh my, took 2 lots of foiling and I had to kind of scrape the nail with the wet cotton wool, madness!

weigh in...... or erm, not!

Well, what can I say about this week?

First off, its has been a bitch of a week. Well and truly. Thursday I started feeling unwell and by Saturday I was rough as a badgers bum. So when the other half offered to get a Chinese, well I didn't say no.
Monday Callum had his operation, so Sunday night was not a good night for sleeping. Emmy had the cold by then but still wanted to go to lunch and shopping. So after (tsk tsk) skipping breakfast I had a burger and fries in McDonald's.
Yesterday was a pretty horrendous day, Emmy had a tummy bug. Kebab for dinner as was meant to weigh in this morning and a shish kebab is not a bad choice, but after 3 take-aways I was scared for this morning.
But I couldn't weigh in, not sure I would have left Emmy even for half an hour but my poor mum is now poorly so there was no way I was going to ask her to babysit.
I did hop on my home scales, which are a good pound or so heavier than the scales at my club, soooo they said 16st 0.25lb. Which means I think I might be in the 15's next week.

Halle-bloody-lujah!

Emmy seems to be recovering, my cold is all but gone and *touches wood furiously* Callum has been quarantined from his sister and shows no signs of having a bug. Bit moody after his op, but hey, he is a teenager in 11 days *gulp*

We have guests on Saturday, so going to use my weekly points and have a little cake. I think I deserve a little treat after this week. So there, negativity and illness BE GONE! I have weight to lose and this ain't gonna stop me!
