Skittlette and my first nail polish jewellery

Good evening lovelies

I am so excited about my post tonight... Not only am I using gorgeous colours from a new Spring 2013 collection but I have made my first pieces of nail polish jewellery and included them in some of the below pictures for you to see!

Firstly the polishes...

I started with two easy coats of Color Club Flamingo (bright pink).  Flamingo is part of the Fiesta collection released for Spring this year. I was lucky enough to snap up the full collection in TK Maxx last weekend :-).

On my ring finger I used just one coat of Color Club Wild Cactus (stunning green). I then topped this with two coast of Orly Go Deeper, from the Glam FX collection. I love this green glitter!

For my thumb I used two coats of Wild Cactus, once that was dry I dotted on Flamingo using both ends of my Orly dotting tool.

Here we go... first picture to include jewellery... :-)

As you can see this ring is made using Go Deeper polish with the glass bead set into an ornate silver ring blank.

A picture with the flash on... check out the beautiful shimmery colours in Go Deeper.

To tie the pink and green together I added some tiny green star shaped rhinestones and of course a few more dots :-)

Matching earrings...

I am so pleased with my first few pieces of jewellery. What do you think? I have ordered myself a small selection of glass beads and ring blanks so I can experiment some more :-). If you have any suggestions or recommendations for polishes I should use then please leave me a comment - I would love to hear from you.

Orly: A Pair of Teals

Good evening lovelies!

Tonight I am going to show you the gorgeous Orly Go Deeper from the Glam FX collection. It is rare that I wear a polish with no stamping or nail art of any kind but this glitter way was too gorgeous to mess about with. See for yourself...

I took some pictures with my camera flash turned on and some with it turned off. In all honesty this polish looked beautiful no matter what light I captured it in but I thought I would show you both so you can see the depth of colours in Go Deeper.

I started with a base of Orly Le Chateau which is a blackened teal jelly. The application was good and as you can see it really is very blackened and quite hard to see that it has any teal in it at all. If I wanted to wear this as a stand alone colour it would need three thin coats.

Le Chateau is a such a beautiful dark teal base for this awesome green glitter...

I absolutely love this polish. Honestly I could wear this for days at a time and not get bored of looking at it!

One final picture with the flash on...

What do you think of Go Deeper? Stunning isn't it?

Also what do you think of my pictures - are they better with flash on or flash off? Fellow bloggers do you use a flash when taking your nail pictures?
