33 Day Challenge day 32 - Shapes!

Penultimate day of the challenge! Eek! What will I do with my time now? *Looks around at squalor I'm living in...* Perhaps it's time to tidy up a little bit...

Anywho...today's theme was shapes. A pretty wide brief I'm sure you'll agree and yet I went for something simple. Some drag marble hearts using two MUA shades, which are just £1, have new improved packaging and names! Superdrug do free delivery if you spend over £10, so these are perfect for when you've spent £9.26 and you're too tight to fork out for delivery. Yes, I squeak when I walk. Digressing again... The shades I used are Moody Mink and All Nude and I simply applied a thick coat before adding dots with a large-ish dotting tool and dragging through them with a toothpick. Moody Mink is a little more purple than these pics show - liked a greyed out lilac-y taupe. Think OPI Parlez Vous OPI and you're nearly there.




Simple shapes :)

NOTD - 17 Supreme Shine Moon Dust

Morning bloggy peeps!

Today I have to show you a polish from 17's Supreme Shine range. I only had one polish from the range as the colours don't usually grab me (and they're £1 more than the two other 17 polish ranges, which have more on-trend colours, not that I'm tight or anything...). In Boots the other day I had picked up two of their Lasting Fix polishes and everything on the 17 stand was 3 for 2. Mr NN was hassling me to hurry up because the car park ticket was about to run out or something equally unimportant, so I grabbed this one. It's a pretty dark taupe cream, and unlike anything else I have. This was two coats, no topcoat - so you can see it lives up to it's shiny name!




You can also see I got sheet marks. My own fault completely. So I topped it with OPI Gold Shatter the next day. Not great, but bearable.

I didn't wear it for long... Love Moon Dust though, what do you think? I was hoping for a You don't know Jaques/A taupe the space needle/Over the taupe dupe, but I think this is a shade darker. It'll do me though!
