Daisies :D

My slightly less poor attempt at nail art. This is Barry M's Spring Green (I have a real thing for this polish nowadays, don't know why considering it's so frigging sheer but whatevs) and a white and yellow nail art pen.

Nail Fails

Yes, they do happen rather more often than I'd like :P

THESE PICTURES NEED NO COMMENTARY.

Sleek iDivine Circus Palette

Yesssss. I managed to get my hands on this gorgeous beast.

The outer packaging is just gorgeous. It was cardboard this time, too - easier to open. 

The actual palette. Notice how it's red, whereas all the previous incarnations, bar one, have been black. I personally like the change. It's cute :D
The palette in all it's bright glory. It's slightly more wearable than the Acid one but seeing as I wear the Acid one to school then wearability really isn't an issue for me :D
The very first shade, the red, looks very light in this photo but in real life it isn't. In fact, all the colours look slightly washed out. Poo. They're more vivid in real life.
This is the first row. All the shades came out pretty well, as you can see, though the white was a bit pants (not that I use it anyway, but anyone that would use a white should take note). I found that applying the red to my eyes wasn't as easy as with another matte red that I own. It was a tad chalky and I had to pack the colour on to get it to stop looking patchy.
The black in this one is scarily pigmented, no lies. What you see above was one dry swatch with my finger. Terrifying. Truly, truly terrifying. Nice one Sleek :D Also, I found that the orange in this one was much improved from the Acid incarnation - not only a warmer, prettier colour, but way easier to work with, too. I've heard complaints about the pigmentation of the lilac but I think it's not bad at all. Perhaps it's a different story when you apply it to your eyes - I wouldn't wear the lilac except as perhaps a liner or something, it's too light for me. But when I swatched it, it seemed fine.

All in all, for just £5.99 you get some seriously cracking shades. If you want this palette, though, it's limited edition so you'd better hurry.

You try going to sleep with hoards of tweenagers in the house.

Aha. My younger sister is having a sleepover, which means I (as the oldest, naturally) must stay downstairs to turn off the alarm once they've finished playing their inane games. Meh. Lol it's nearly 2:00 am and I'm just watching Korean pop videos and stalking other people's blogs, go figure. So anyway. I has a post for you!

So I had on Shade 1 (Superdrug's MUA range) which is a blackened blue with a lit from within quality. Completely gorgeous, but I get bored of my colours soooooooooooooo easily. Short attention span, I know. So I decided to get one of my generic sheer pinky nail polish thingys and layer it on top. Kinda cool effect, non?

I love the way the light bounces off the shimmer in it. Anyway. So what time is it currently where you are? I hope it's not quite as absurd as this :P

Temporary Tattoos

Childish? Yes. Yes they are. But I was feeling uber lazy and it's a pretty quick way to jazz up my alt. French thing that I had going on.

I found these in the same place that I found that generic pink nail polish. There were quite a few different sizes, it was basically a matter of finding the ones that were small enough to fit on my nail.
 *picspams*
 That was against the window of our house at night time (like eleven, twelve o clock?) I kinda like the effect actually :P

Hate these begging posts but...

Hey guys. Erm. Yeah. So I entered The Lacquer Files Nail Art Contest this year.

This was my first entry. WHYYYY SO SERIOUS?!?!
And the second (from Scream).

...

This is seriously embarrassing. But basically, I'd be totally grateful if you could pop over and...vote for me? Lol thanks guys :P

*gets up from begging position on the floor*

I told you I was obsessed

Yes. MOAWR alternative frenches. I really couldn't tell you why they fascinate me so much :P
This is Barry M's Spring Green and just a clear nail polish (MUA) over the top of it this time. Pretty simple to do and quick drying. Only problem is, Spring Green is surprisingly jelly-like which kinda ruins the fun when you can see my nail line underneath. I could put a coat of white underneath first but that's soooo much effort *endlaziness*
I think my right hand looked better than this one but I suck at taking pictures of it :(
