Gimme Glitter: w7 - Mosaic

Hi there guys!! Oh goodness I feel so behind on the blog, school has been throwing out the tests and the assessments and I've been so busy that painting is just not happening a lot. I don't think it'll be getting better anytime soon, so expect less posts from me and more "I've been so busy", cause I have and will be.
Today I have the 2nd polish I got from Poundworld with the "story", it's not very exciting at all I should stop hyping it. But the final polish in the trio is my favourite so at least there'll be a pretty polish there.

Mosaic is a medium blue base with small gold and dark blue/purple glitter. I'm pretty sure this is a dupe to Nails Inc Topping Lane, I wouldn't get this polish at the Nails Inc price cause I was never in love with that one. But if I can get the w7 much cheaper version I'm there. And this is lovely, I love blue polish so this was always going to appeal to me. Basically I love polishes like this, with all the packed glitter, Nails Inc - Sweets Way was in my favourites after all.

I do want all the polishes like this, so I'll be searching. I know Hard Candy have some like this but too bad I can't get my hands on Hard Candy. The Nails Inc is too expensive unless I LOVE it. It'd be real nice if w7 could release a ton more like this. I really like w7, good colours, good formulas, good price.

I thought the formula of Mosaic was great, I used 3 thin coats. But 2 will probably do, especially if they're thick coats. Each coat was glitter packed. This made the finish a lil' rough but nothing that topcoat can't smooth out.

Thank you for reading and I hope you have a great day!!! :)

31DC2013: Day 4 - Green Nails

Hi there guys!! Today was a day I went in not knowing what I wanted to do, sometimes these are the best days (or the worst) as anything can come to you. I painted my nails with Barry M Greenberry and went from there.

I decided I wanted some kind of geometric thing on my accent and thumb so I drew some lines. I thought of those studs that look nice near your cuticle so angular hearts came from that. The middle finger hearts ended up a bit too big than I wanted it to be but then it ended up being perfect for when I saw a star on my thumb and used pink to highlight it. I drew another heart on my middle finger to connect the pink from my thumb into the mani. It was like filling in the gaps with all the colours, I had fun.
After I was done I was completely satisfied, I think this is mosaic-esque and all the triangles there are my favourites. I think is super cool and edgy (which is my aim cause I'm pretty much the opposite of edgy).

By the way I do hope to get some studs one of these days, they look awesome. After filling in the spaces I would go over the outline again with the black pen to make is crisper. I had a kind of plan going into this but I scrapped it (coincidentally like last year, but last year's was a mess). It was simply to add some bows, it's quite clear why I didn't do this, too simplistic (no offence to bows, they're cute). Whilst I probably would've gone crazy with other elements, I'm loving the design I created instead.
