Mardi Gras!!!

Happy Mardi Gras!!! So today is the post I have been waiting for to show you my coveted nails inc. glastonbury. I bought this polish back in October when I was is London. I popped into the flagship nails inc shop and this is one of the beauties I got my hands on!

When I sat in my hotel room looking at all my purchases, I thought to myself that this would be the most awesome Mardi Gras polish. I used  two coats of nails inc. glastonbury layered over one thick coat of Illamasqua Boosh. (Which incidentally I bought in London on the very same day at the Illamasqua flagship shop!)

Isn't it gorgeous!?!? Look at that glitter!!! nails inc. polishes can be purchased through Sephora for $9.50.  Unfortunately they do not carry glastonbury.  If you live in the UK or Ireland you can order directly from nails inc via their website.  Illamasqua polish is also available through Sephora for $14. You can also purchase through their website and they do ship internationally.

Isn't glastonbury the perfect Mardi Gras polish?  I just love it such gorgeous colors!  Not to mention the name rocks too! I hope you have enjoyed my Mardi Gras post.  Thanks for looking.

Love,

Breakfast at Tiffany's Layering

As a lot of you know I am crazy for blue so it is fitting that I do a blue layering.  For this layering I decided to use Finger Paints Tiffany Imposter as my base with a My Blue Lacquer franken Space Lift. 

Finger Paints Tiffany Imposter and My Blue Lacquer Space Lift

I absolutely adore these kind of soft blues. So beautiful. This polish applies beautifully. I used two coats over  one coat of Cult Nails Get It On base coat.

I then layered one coat of the My Blue Lacquer franken Space Lift over the Finger Paints Tiffany Imposter and follwed it with one coat of my trusty Seche Vite top coat.

Finger Paints are available at Sally's Beauty for $4.99($4.49 with Sally's Card), My Blue Lacquer frankens can be purchased through Beanie's blog at My Blue Lacquer for $5 for a full size or $2 for a mini size. What do you think?  I was really happy with how this combo came out.  I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have. I wore this one for a while since I am so addicted to blues.  Thanks for looking!

My First Lynderella

I have been lemming over Lynderella nail polish since I first discovered it. I finally got my grubby paws on one. Thanks to Leah Ann of Llarowe I got I Can Afford It. I love it. I almost skipped on it and I am so glad that I didn't.

Lynderella I Can Afford It and Illamasqua Elope
I decided that I would layering over the most awesome green of Illamasqua Elope which I picked up when I was in London this past October at the Illamasqua shop on Beak Street.  Isn't it gorgeous?  I will definitely be wearing again for St. Patrick's Day!

Swatch of Illamasqua Elope


Here is the final result of I Can Afford It over Elope. I loved this so much I didn't want to take it off.  I wore it for several days with no wear.

What do you think? Do you like it? Have you been able to snag any of the ever elusive Lynderella polishes? I was also able to get Snow Angel, Funny Money and All Hallow's Eve. I will be posting those soon.  Lynderella is available on Llarowe for $15 but you have to be quick when they are available because they sell out very quickly!  Currently they are sold out! :(  Illamasqua is available at Sephora for $14 but not all shades are carried. Illamasqua can also be purchased from the Illamasqua website for £13.50 where the full color range can be found.  Once again thank you for looking and I hope you enjoyed it.

Love,
Becky xx
