Christmas Layering #2

I wanted to do some thing very festive and I think I achieved my mission. For Christmas Layering #2 I used Zoya Purity as the base with China Glaze Party Hearty on top. I really like how it came out.

Christmas Layering #1

I have been playing around with the many Christmas polishes I have been buying recently and I decided to do some seasonal layerings. I do so love a good layering. The first one is the combo of China Glaze Phat Santa with nails inc electric lane holographic topcoat.  I was a bad blogger and wore this one for a week before I finally got around to taking pics. I really wanted to take these in the sun but the weather just was not co-operating with me and I have been really not feeling to great this past week. So we have light box pics of this layering.

a-england Avalon

Wow! I have been silent for a while! I took these pictures after Thanksgiving and I am just getting around to posting them! I am such a bad blogger! LOL! This was my Thanksgiving manicure so there is a small bit of tip wear as I cooked a full Thanksgiving meal with this gorgeous color.  Just goes to show what an incredible formula Adina of a-england has in these awesome polishes!

There is just not much to say other than wow! I think that Avalon is just incredible! Whenever I wear any of these gorgeous a-england polishes I get nothing but compliments. Avalon is no exception.  What do you think? Have you tried Avalon or any other of the a-england polishes? I have several more to swatch and I will post those as soon as I do.  Thanks for looking!

NOTD: Orly Fowl Play

I've had this NOTD on for a few days thanks to being sick. I finally got around to taking pics of it and here is what I found: Fowl Play is absolutely gorgeous in person and a PITA to capture on camera! I love the blackened purple base of this polish and the multi-color flakies in this polish are enough to make a girl swoon!

Galahad & Rainbow Connection Glitter Layering

Today I went with a glitter layering combining two of my favorite polishes that I got while in London.  For the base coat I used the ever gorgeous Galahad by a-england. I used two coats but probably could have gotten away with one.  This polish applies like a dream.  Thank you to the lovely Adina for this beautiful gift!!

 Next, I used the gorgeous OPI Rainbow Connection. I think this polish looks like a party in a bottle! I love all the different colors and shapes of glitter.

Here is the final result of Galahad with Rainbow Connection. I think these two colors really complement each other very well.

 That is all I have for today.  What do you think?  I think I will be doing a lot more layerings this winter with all the new glitter polishes I have recently aquired! Thanks for reading! xx
