GOSH holographic!

A package from heaven came! :D
So, I asked a friend from London if she could get me a certain polish that is htf here. Well.. she surprised me and sent me two! and when I was about to pay her she insisted that it was a gift :D She's one of my friends that do not understand my nail polish addiction but gladly got it for me. Thanks Rachelle! you are the best!

Now, honestly my lemming for China Glaze's OMG is way gone since this one is better (more holo). Good thing I held back and did not purchase OMG from ebay for a hefty price! Anywhooo here are some swatches.

How was application, you ask? it was a pain in the butt! LOL it can be really patchy if you are not careful. Also, for me thin coats works best because I tried to do a thick one and it didn't work it became uneven because this polish dries too fast. If you look at the bottle in person it may seem like it's just a regular silver polish but when applied and it dries -- you will be amazed. I was staring at my nails for the longest time -- I even showed it to my brothers and they think I've gone crazy! LOL.

NOTE: I applied china glaze top coat and the holo was toned down - bleh I wasn't able to take pics maybe next time I wear this I will. Maybe if I use seche vite or another top coat it would stay the same.. IDK we'll see. It chipped on me the next day that's another disadvantage of this polish.

The photos were taken with my phone so sorry for the quality. I know my hands are dry..I was just lazy to put lotion after I did my nails lol.

So, would you guys wear this polish even w/o top coat or wear a top coat to save the polish from chipping?

So, Danielle from Polish Obsessed  is having a blog sale, she is selling some from discontinued line Sally Hansen's Nail Prisms. When I read her post I immediately sent her an email to order some. At last, we met today and I am loving every single polish I purchased here is a photo of what I got.

I honestly can't wait to try these polishes. When I got home I immediately took out my half a day old polish and swatched these babies. Will do a full mani on one of these I just can't decide which one to use first!  Anyway thanks again Danielle for having this blog sale! :D and meeting us instead of shipping it. LOL!

What I got today...

Heres what i got in the mail today :)  




I got it from ebay.. unfortunately the listing was removed by ebay it said something about violating some rule. Anyway I paid $33 CAD for this I tested it and it works fine :) Although there were a few scratches mostly on the right side of the plate which sometimes bothers me. However these scratches doesn't affect the image when stamped so it's okay I guess. If I am not mistaken most of these (or all???) are imitation of the real Konad plates. If it is then this is a steal!


Here is a close up video of it. Sorry I didn't put music or anything.



Also,  I entered a giveaway TraceFace Philes Giveaway. Please click the link and enter giveaway ends August 19th :)




 What do you think? Would you get one or stay with the real Konad plates?

A pleasant suprise from a friend :)

Hey all, its been so long... I wasn't really away... I've been online and reading the blogs I follow. Also I've been hauling as usual. LOL I've just been busy and too lazy to post.

Anyway I am posting today because I just received a lovely gift yesterday!!!!  My friend came back from Philippines 2 weeks ago. Since she lives in Mississauga and basically works everyday--- I didn't see her. Well there was a little get together at a friends house so she picked me up from work and when I was getting inside the car she gave me a little gift bag. I said thanks and wondered what it was.. I waited till we got home and opened it and I was shocked! Here is the item that I received:

                                                  A BIG IMAGE PLATE!!! 



Sorry for the pictures I took this with my phone...

I shrieked and ran to her and said thanks. I originally asked her to get this for me and told her I was going to pay her back.. but she messaged me back and said she couldn't go and I understood. So now I am dying to try this. I will edit this post and upload a video so you guys can see what the designs are -- I think most of these are designs from Konad :P I will also review this after and show the quality of the images when stamped :)

Anyhow this post is too long. I hope you all had a great and safe day today! :D
