Pick 'N' Mix: Going mawd on the town

Hey there guys. This post is going to be a lil' different. Yes I still have skittles as the title suggests but "going mawd" on the town happened. And ok for the first time ever I went to town with no nail polish on (I was really busy), so I was able to use the testers. So I tried various polishes, so some of the polishes shown here are not owned by me (though I kind of wish they were, I didn't end up buying all them). So this post might be a bit less detailed, and a little more fun. I did go a bit "mawd" (<-- this is strange slang I use for bant, tis weird I know).

I looooovvvvvvvve this selection of nail polish, and while some didn't go home with me. Others did, yeah budday. I'll highlight the ones I own, expect posts about them.
I'm in love with the combo on my thumb, Topshop - Pipe Dream with Claire's - Fluffy. Pipe Dream is a seafoam blue/green with a golden flake kind of shimmer with iridescent glitter and it's gorgeous. Topshop has done a bunch of polishes with the golden flake shimmer and iridescent glitter in different colours and I'm very tempted. I have a beautiful white glitter nail polish, I LOVE white glitter, definitely one of my favourites and Claire's have upped their game like nobody's business and I'm so impressed. Bad for me though cause I need all their polishes. The moment I saw the white glitter online I knew I was done. I <3 the big hexes. It was perfect as well because I only got to do 2 coats of Pipe Dream and it was NOT enough, but Fluffy masked the lack of coats. 3 coats probably would've been enough, it built well.

On my index I have Topshop - Carnival. A really pretty light orange. 2 coats.
On my middle fingernail there's Topshop - Wide Awake. Another pretty light orange but with peachy tones and I loved it. I'm looking for a Chanel June/China Glaze/Sun Of A Peach kind of colour (the Chanel is NEVER happening) or some kind of dupe. I haven't found it yet. Wide Awake was 1 coat!! The formula was brill. And it goes without saying but Topshop makes some good polish. I need more Topshop polish in my life.
Haha bonus story!! When using the Topshop polish there's no tables so I crouched on the floor and used a bin as a table while people looked at me haha. How else was I going to do 2 coats? :P I really have no shame.

On my ring there's Essie - Lots Of Lux. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BABY!! I told myself I didn't need it, but when I saw it in real life I couldn't say no. From first polish it was love. The multicoloured shimmer (which I definitely will be going in depth in) was so mesmerising. And 1 coat. YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT ONE COAT o.O
And finally on my pinky I have H&M - Blue My Mind. My friends went to H&M and obviously you can't leave me with nail polish for too long and it was in the sale section so it was £1. No mistakes could be made for a colour like that. It's a light cobalt blue and I love it. It was 2 slightly runny coats.

Well I ramble, but I hope you liked the lil' stories, if you didn't read them, you should!! Find out about my lack of shame, really there's no shame for me. Haha thank you for "reading" and I hope you have a nice day!!! :)

Gimme Glitter: Random Glitter Skittles

Hi there, hallelujah the long week is over!! Today I have some random glitter skittles, I felt like glitter (but why lie, I always feel like glitter) so I did glitter. I don't do skittles a lot as I'm not the fondest of that look but I quite like it here.

I used 2 coats of each glitter on top of Nails Inc - Motcomb Street, that is one dark polish so I felt it needed some glitter on top. Glitter from left to right. Barry M - Aqua Glitter, OPI - Last Friday Night, Butter LONDON - Shambolic, Revlon - Radiant and thumb is OPI - Metallic 4 Life. I've already done Gimme Glitter posts on 3 of these polishes, Barry M - Aqua GlitterOPI - Metallic 4 Life and Butter LONDON - Shambolic. I actually quite like the look of this. 

Thank you for reading and have a nice day!!! :)

Some Random Leopard Print

Hello there. Again this was intended to be Christmas leopard print, but I kind of lost my way. I'm not too annoyed though. 'Tis still alright. Not my favourite leopard print, since obviously I can't go for too long without leopard print :/ Maybe I'll do a more Christmasy one, this one is simply random.

Just saying that lighting is difficult after 4pm in winter (I should really sort something out). I had an urge to use I'm With The Lifeguard, it happens and I need to ride these impulses. I don't know what was going through my head when I was doing this. My second and middle fingers remind me of the Hulk, fourth finger is somewhat Christmas themed and my pinky reminds me of Trident strawberry and lime gum (it's good gum).
Teal glitter: Barry M - Aqua Glitter (my picture was too bright there, I have better pictures of this polish) with The Face Shop - BL601 underneath
Gold: w7 - Golden Sands 
Green: China Glaze - I'm With The Lifeguard
Purple: OPI - Plum And Get It
Dark Green: OPI - Jade Is The New Black
Light Red: Essie - E-Nuff Is E-Nuff
Red: OPI - Dutch Tulips
Black: Lovely Me:Ex - Black (no name)
White: Models Own - Snow White
I'll be back with more Christmas stuff, I have to stop getting side-tracked :/ Also not too keen on the short nails. I never learn, but I have to play the piano :P

Have a nice day!!! :)
