OPI Surf's Up!













(An oldie post)
Such a pretty blue, please enlarge :D

I have deleted a lot of the older posts on NJ, and ones on some colours that have had better photos taken of them. I did this as space was starting to get filled up.

This is two coats of Surf's Up! A very smooth polish.

Surf's Up! was released in only a few countries about 7 or 9 years ago, can't quite remember lol.

No top or base coat.

OPI Lunch At The Delhi













(An oldie post)
Ahhhh Delhi... We have a love-hate relationship.

The only reason I keep it is becasue of the ties I have with Delhi, it was one of my first OPI's... but it really does nothing for me.

Lunch At The Delhi is a semi-muted coral creme. It was released in the India collection at the start of 2008.

Three coats were used here. It applied well, not the best I've ever seen but certainly a lot better than some...

Zoya Suvi

Another gem from March :D

This is three coats of Zoya's Suvi. A beautiful rain forest green.

It looks really nice but I don't find my self going for the darker greens just yet.

OPI Flashbulb Fuchsia

I found this post backlogged from MARCH! Holy cow, how did I do that?!

Anywho, this is OPI's Flashbulb Fuchsia.

A very stunning shade but when I am wanting to wear a bright pink or fuchsia I don't tend to pick up this one and always go for something else.

It is in OPI's core Bright's line. So you should have no troubles finding it :)

Sweet As A Berry!

This was a swap package from my dear friend Berry. It was only supposed to be for those two polishes but she included all this other stuff! Nail art stuff!

I couldn't wait to get back home to open it. I was ripping it open in Hell (pizza place) while having some lunch.

I am still blown away by her generosity ♥

I still get excited when I pull these out to have a play.

Thank you so much Berry! n_n

Berry also has a blog: http://happyberrynaiad.blogspot.com/ please visit it n_n She is so lovely!

Poodles + Malia




















I was dying to do some nail art last night but al my supplies were at my new home :( Luckily I had my goodies from Berry, so I decided to go with Malia for the base and use some poodle stickers n_n


This is the first time I have tried Dear Laura nail art stickers. They are amazing! Whats different about them is that they are made of rubber so they bend and stick to the same shape as your nail. They don't un-stick on the ends either.

They seem to be of really good quality too, none teared, split, broke or anything. Even with my cat walking all over them trying to find a good posse on the couch- they were still A.O.K! *big hugs for berry* (more info on that a little later)

On to Malia!

Malia was released earlier this year in the collection Twist. Along with Jo, Harley, Cassi, Barbie and Moxie. I have them all a part from Barbie.

Malia's coverage was amazing, only needing two coats. The formula was super smooth and easy to control. There isn't too many Zoyas that I have come across having crap formulas, which is a good thing! Zoya seems to be doing something right.

Hopefully this lasts until Monday so I can show the boyfriend when I get back to my new home n_n

So far I have worn Angel (a pinker alternative to OPI Blush Of Adrenaline), NFUOH 12 (love this one, a violet pink creme)m NFUOH 60 (I must have looked a little crazy looking at my nails moving them around to catch all the different colours LOL) and Harley (which is a nice neautral grey with silver/golden shimmer)
