#TGPNPC Had to have it, still haven’t worn it: Day 9 of Neverending Polish Challenge

Pin It
Hi lovelies,

Considering this is the Neverending Polish Challenge, many of us would have umpteen polishes that fall under this theme. I had three major lemmings: Picture Polish Kryptonite, Zoya Veruschka and A-England St George (yes, yes, I do realise they are all green). Since St George from the Legends Collection is the first lemming I quenched, here's the STUNNING beauty!

The website describes it as "Bearer of a valiant & courageous heart, this fathomless teal reveals the strength of the brave knight's convictions with his gleaming, fiery core."
St George is a saturated green-leaning teal. This scattered holo is a one-coater! So it is probably better to load up on the basecoat to avoid staining.

I got this before the Royal Mail debacle happened. Though I have the entire Legends collection, I so wish Royal Mail would remove the ban so that I can get my hands on more of Adina's polishes.

I was in a hurry so I did not take standalone photographs of this polish alone. I used Konad M54 to stamp flowers like roses and tulips using China Glaze Passion (a rocking gold chrome polish which is awesome for stamping).
Thankfully, this comes on a Friday and the next challenge is on Monday, so I can wear it a lot longer than the previous manicures.  I loved this manicure, what about you? Do leave a comment below. I read them all.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hi lovelies,

Today is St Valentine's Day and I have a beautiful manicure just for the day. 
I've realised that the only way I can use all the polishes I own is using the skittlette manicures made famous by Marta Wuz of Chitchat Nails.  


Ain't it pretty? I used a couple of Different Dimension polishes for this look. 


On my pinkie, I layered Different Dimension Cranfairy, a raspberry jelly with magenta, raspberry and hot pink glitter, over 1 coat of Colorbar Exclusive 48, a creme red.


I put down a base of a beautiful light gray creme from VoV (name unkown) and layered Different Dimension Scarlet & Grey Remix, a glitter topper in grey, white and metallic red hexes and circles of various sizes, on my pointer finger.


I layered a thick coat of Different Dimension's Imitation is the Most Sincere Form of Flattery, a glow-in-the-dark polish with micro glitters, and stamped using the single rose pattern from a Red Angel plate. 


I stamped my thumb using the full nail heart design from another Red Angel plate. Since this image was small, I filled in the gaps with the metallic red glitter from the Different Dimension topper.

I really like how the roses turned out. This manicure was a hit in real life, how about the virtual one? Don't forget to leave a comment on whether you like it or not!
