NOTD: Seventeen Juicy Neons "Orange"


Phew, it's been a while! Lots of new stuff to be excited about but just no time! This time of year is always so busy with ecological surveys and gardening... And I started a new job! :)

Anyway I saw another one of this offering off chance on Geordie Nails while surfing around and I needed these, of course. These are all very sheer, this is 2 coats but if you are sensitive about VNL, wear these as I have, with cropped nails. Or stick them on top of a white or matching creme. I decided to wear it just with 2 coats to make it a bit more, dare I say, juicy?... and my goodness it's definitely neon! :) I love how has that hot neon colour AND the glassfleck shimmer to it. I also have the green, so I will do that later on this week I think!

There are 3 different kinds - the Juicy Neons, the Crushed Foils and Off the Wall Metals. These are all Limited Edition and Seventeen is currently on a 3 for 2 in Boots so if you want some of these, hoof it down to your local Boots now!

This is some of the stuff I've been doing since I've been absent....

NOTD: Depend "191"


I felt like a really green polish tonight so when I found this gem rummaging through my Helmers I was delighted! I'd forgotten about it, but obviously loved it when I bought it because I have two bottles already... I had to do 3 coats because it is deceptively sheer! I topped with a slick of Seche Vite to dry the 3 layers down quickly so I could go back to playing Elder Scrolls Online... Which is all I've been doing really since last Tuesday apart from working :) naked nails for a week, why I never...

I saw these 'Cupcake' polishes from Kiko - I love the look of them but I cannot bear parting with £5.95 for UK postage!!! That's just extortion :(
