Purple Crumpet Spring Challenge - Easter Bonnets

Hi!

Just to forewarn you, the challenges for the next few days are HARD! Curse you Debbie Crumpet! This was my second easter boonet manicure and the first one was such a hairy arsed fail that I didn't even dare take a picture. Then I remembered a tutorial I had pinned on Pinterest and this was born. I figured it looked frlly and lacey and bonnety, so I have it a go. And failed. But I guess you can tell where I was going, right?

I used Sally Hansen Camelia as the base (very sheer pink) then drew heart tops with OPI Steady as she Rose. Then I outlined the heart with a pink striper and added the dots as per the tutorial:

Compared to the perfection above, mine is a fail! Never mind!

NOTD - 2true Crystal nail polish

Hi de hi!

I showed you a new 2True polish topped with I Lily Love You here, but I also picked up two new Crystal polishes that they've bought out (any 3 items from 2True are just £4.99 from Superdrug). These aren't even on the 2true or Superdrug websites yet, and in 3 different Superdrugs I've looked in these were the only two colours each of them had, although there were spaces on the stand for more. So if you like glittery foil finishes keep an eye out!

The colours I've found are Shade 3 (greeny-blue) and Shade 4 (mauve). These pictures were two coats, no topcoat day 2 of wear. Impressive for a budget brand! On my left hand I used Shade 3 as accent nails, and 4 for the rest, and reversed it on my right hand, for a super quick I-wanna-go-to-bed-now-please mani.

I'll definitely keep my eye out for more of these polishes, I was very impressed.

As you can probably tell I've spectacularly broken the no-buy. I'm just waiting for one polish to arrive from ebeast and then there will be a haul post, as I've not done one of those in a while! I also have September favourites coming up, probably tomorrow.

I hope you're well! Have a nice weekend.

NOTD - Beauty UK Mauve Flash + Gold Shatter

Hello! A quick NOTD from me. I wore Beauty UK Mauve Flash yesterday, just with a pretty sticker on accent nail and thumb, but the stickers didn't last long and I didn't get to take a pic before they looked nasty. Today I wasn't doing anything but housework, so instead of a fresh mani I just took the remains of the stickers off and added a coat of Beauty UK Night Fever (their gold shatter) to hide the mess and tipwear! I love this combination, and Mauve Flash is a great colour - I can't wait to wear it in the Autumn. I'll definitely be wearing it again soon, so I'll show you it's lubblyness on it's own then!

Perfect summer nails - please excuse the mess!

With every Beauty UK polish I get I'm more and more impressed. Next to try are Slate and Frozen Kingdom.
