Grand Slam Nails...China Glaze

Wow I haven't blogged for ages! Bad Nicola!

So to ease myself in I thought I would do a little NOTD. Its Six Nations Super Saturday and Wales are surely due the win today so I thought I would go for a bright sparkly red to help them on their way.

China Glaze polishes aren't up there with my faves but there is always an exception and I just adore the iconic Ruby Pumps. It's not just for Christmas, it's for life

yes I know I need to oil my cuticles!

Yes it needs at least 2 coats and yes I know it will have chipped by the end of the day but who cares. Its sparkly and cute. What better polish to wear whilst admiring some rugby skills*?

Happy St Patrick's Day. Happy Super 6 Nations Saturday. Go the Grand Slam and good luck to the Welsh who truly deserve the win.

Until next time .....xo

*for skills read thighs and bums....yes I'm superficial

OPI Whats With The Cattitude review NOTD

I am not entirely sure why I even have this colour in my extensive varnish collection. Its a duck egg blue. A fairly creamy, dreamy looking blue but still. I suspect I just liked the name (I buy my varnishes online from the US so occasionally I go a little crazy and buy without checking the colour in person first). 

There is a valuable lesson here - this shade of blue is best reserved for Tiffany boxes. 

Anyway I have had this sitting in the nail varnish drawer for months unused. Today my nails were bare, the sun was out and I only had the gym and some meetings ahead so a fun colour was on the cards. 

Well cutting a long story short this varnish is an EPIC fail.  Streaky doesn't even cover it, despite the base coat:

yes - see that thumbnail...that is after 2 coats!

 not pretty huh?

so - this polish will be hitting the circular filing cabinet hard. I love OPI polishes usually but this one was a letdown.  0/10.

What is your favourite "fun" colour nail polish?

until next time .....XO
