Top 10 Nail Polishes Of 2012: Part 2

Hey there, hope you're well this fine day. I didn't have school yesterday so I was a happy bunny, I didn't use that time productively, but I can't be productive all the time (not like I am though :/). I have part 2 of my favourite polishes today, and they're a good bunch :)

6. Illamasqua - Nomad. Nomad is a beautiful pastel jade, so many swatches and I felt in love with the colour. I was literally stroking the screen (oh my I am weird) when I saw this polish, I built my hopes high for this polish and I felt slightly let down as it doesn't look as nice in darker lighting, but this polish is still so beautiful.  2 coats here.


5. Nails Inc - Sweets Way. I don't know why I waited so long to buy Sweets Way it's SO pretty. My favourite thing about Sweets Way is how delicate it looks. I didn't mention this in my original post on it but it's a nightmare to take off, I used the tin foil method but the small pieces of glitter get absolutely everywhere :/ But for how pretty the polish is it's worth it. I used 3 coats.


4. Essie - Tart Deco. I found my love of orange nail polish because of Tart Deco, well I guess Tart Deco is rather peachy, but I found my love of peach nail polish too (I need to find a good peach nail polish :P). Got it in celebration of my summer exams being over (it's something I do :)), I just think the colour is fantastic, a orangy/peachy/corally kind of thing (worst description ever -_-). I have 2 coats here.


I hope you enjoyed this part of my favourite polishes, the next part will be up soon. Thank you for reading!!! :)

Peachy Nails: Essie - Tart Deco

Hello there. Well first off, my exams are over!!! Hallelujah!!! Everything is happy again, well until my next set exams but who thinks about these things? This is one my of favourite polishes, sparked my love of this colour. I know I've probably raved about it before but hello more raving.

My lighting was very red-y/orange which was strange but I worked with it. I got some other good photos but I was just happiest with this one. Ain't she a beaut? It's super shiny too. 2 easy coats, almost one coat. It's just a really beautiful colour, a peachy/orange (there are many descriptions). I can't say enough good things about this polish. It was in The Art of Spring collection in 2010. Hehe today in my exam when I was bored I breathed on my nails to make them "matte". For about 2 seconds, but a great way to kill time. Looked pretty cool, coincidentally I got a matte topcoat today. The best way to celebrate the end of exams is new polish (my mother wasn't best pleased though). :P

31 Day Challenge - Day 21 - Inspired by a colour

It’s again a little vague. But like rebecca likes nails and Chalkboard nails, I’m doing inspired by a nail polish colour.  Obviously it had to be Essie Tart Deco, it’s my current favourite. My favourite has not changed for a while; it was Barry M Blue Moon, which I used for this as well. But Blue Moon has been gloopy and running out so I’ve been trying to use it sparingly. I still love it though.



A tart (as in the dessert) and art deco. Wow I’m a genius, never would’ve thought of that from Tart Deco :P I tried copying the design from the Chrysler building, but that failed, but I think it looks like a funky French manicure. The tart looks more like a pie, but it’s still cute!!! :3 I was desperate to use pink somewhere as fuchsia looks really good with Tart Deco.
