NOTD - Ciate Purple Sherbert

Happy Saturday peeps! Really should have done this at the beginning of the month considering this came free with Marie Claire magazine and is only available for another 2 weeks or so!



It is a beautiful lilac creme and applied like a dream, this is two coats and there was no problem with streaking



It lasted for a full 5 days with no tip wear and it was so shiny on its own! I only use topcoat partly out of habit and also to seal the colour around the cuticle and tip area.







All of these shots were taken inside, I did wait 3 days for some sun, but that mythical thing never appeared and as much as I enjoy blogging, I won't do it in the rain for a natural light shot!

Purple Sherbert is exclusively made for Marie Claire which costs £4.20 (or maybe £3.90, recovering from a night out!) and the Ciate alone is worth £9 and you get a good read in the bargain! There are two other shades available, a hot pink with blue shimmer called Jelly Bean and a greyed out lilaccy taupe called Bon Bon!

NOTD - Spiderman, Spiderman.....

Does whatever a spider can.....

Actually this polish is dedicated to the Lizard who is the baddie in the new Spiderman film!

Say hello to Just Spotted The Lizard




In the sun this is an amazing shimmery gold, not usually my colour but well you know my love of duochromes by now!

The green is hard to capture in the sun, but I just about got it here by blurring the photo!



Here is the bottle shot in the shade, the colours look amazing!
 

In this shot taken in the shade you can really see the green!
 

These pictures are taken after 4 days of application now, not sure if this is due to the outstanding quality of OPI or if it is my amazing new Designer Series topcoat! The Spiderman series won't be around forever so get them now at http://www.lenawhite.co.uk/

NOTD - Kleancolor Blind Date

Sorry to bring you another US polish, but browse ebay!

I loved this the second I saw it and it didn't disappoint in the bottle

But alas it was a right royal pain to get on, to get the stars on the nail I had to blob them on which made the nail messy as when trying to level it out it just dragged the stars off the nail!

Next time I use it I shall pour some out and apply with a pin like implement!

I couldn't feel any annoyance of the stars on the nail but after this and a coat of quick drying topcoat I had to remove it as it was blobby and uneven!

Here it is layered over Revlon Steel Her Heart

NOTD - Miners and Models Own

I spotted the Models Own Indian Ocean when browsing in Boots and loved it so snapped it up! BUT it is not a polish to wear alone of you dislike visible nail line, ie, MEEEEEEE! 

So I layered it over Miners Keepin' It Teal

Two coats of each polish

Duochrome!

The Miners was a lovely polish, a really easy to apply creme, loved the slim bottle too!

The Models Own is a lovely duochrome shimmer, just wish it was not so thin and could be warn alone, but I shall be testing it over other colours!
