NOTD Crows Toes - Hell Hath No Fury

Sorry for being MIA, blogging is taking a small back seat for a little while but will be back in full force soon :)

Today I have a swatch of the insane Hell Hath No Fury by Crows Toes, such an apt name for me at the moment since fury is am emotion I often feel at the moment!


This polish is an amazing mix, orange glitter in hex and line shapes, red hexes, micro glitter and some insanely awesome lilac glitter that should be out of place but glows from the base of this polish!


I did use undies for this but as this has been in my draft folder for so long I have forgotten but it would have been a generic drug store colour!


Due to the amount of glitter the base of this polish is quite thick, some might want to thin it out but I prefer to not do that so just dabble it on the nail


This looks like I have tip wear but I don't, my old phone camera frequently made polishes look like I had tip wear, very odd!

Drying time is quite long for this polish, but not unbearably so, I used a coat of Gelish and a coat of Seche to make it touch dry but had to be careful not to do anything that would apply pressure to my nails.


Removal is best done using the foil method, which I automatically do with glitterbombs!

Crows Toes is available from Llarowe and Overall Beauty

NOTD piCture pOlish - Krytonite

Quick post from me, life has been manic to say the least! This is one of my recent favourite polishes! 










Based on the flawless application, amazing wear and frankly awesomeness of this polish I have already acquired two more piCture pOlish polishes and will be getting more once I have moved (hence my lack of posting!)

Kryptonite is available from Llarowe and also through Sally Magpies the ONLY place currently selling Indies in the UK!

NOTD 2 True - Shade 6

When I went on a little drug store haul I knew I wanted to go to Superdrug, they hold a few lines that are always on special offer!

Including 2True, of course I was drawn to the Crystal nail polish and got 3 of them for £5, bargain!


This has a noticable duo chrome effect, flashing between orange and pink


I really liked the colour but the application was a bubbly nightmare!


Can you see the shift?


I didn't have the same issues with bubbling with the other 2 shades I got and didn't shake the bottle, so wouldn't be put off buying more if my local Superdrug EVER get more colours in stock!




2True is available from Superdrug stores for £1.99 each or 3 for £5 and are a real bargain!

NOTD Sea Lore - Ariel

Ever bought a polish just for the name? I have a few! This one I got because my sister is a Little Mermaid fangirl! So much so that I donated my first purchase of this to her and had to get myself another one!


I loved this polish, a light green shimmery base, purple and green hex and red square glitter! Gorgeous!


I layered this over a black to prolong the mani underneath as I had no time to remove it! Next time I would use a similar basecoat to the green in this. Having said that this is two coats using the dabble method of glitter application and you can't see much black poking through!


Although this is a glitter polish, it is not a total glitter bomb as I know some people aren't as keen as me!


Sea Lore is available from here

NOTD Enchanted Polish - Ciao Milano

Ah, my heart rate rises when I look at these pictures! This is one of the prettiest polishes that still has a subtlety about it. 



This is a layering polish so I layered it over a speed dry inky blue for speed and added 2 coats of Ciao Milano. Needless to say the multi chrome kept me enthralled, especially when it was sunny!


A checkout girl at my pharmacy grabbed my hand and demanded to know where I got my nails 'done' and when I said I did them myself she wanted to know what polish it was, of course she was gutted when I said it was an Indie but told her where to buy!


When you have your hand flat this flashes green, blue, purple and a teal like colour


ahhhhhhhhhhh.......


when you put your nails back you see a flash of orange, just visible on my middle finger


Enchanted polish is available here and of course at Llarowe but this polish is currently out of stock, sorry!
