Happy 4th July Americans!

I’m having a mini-celebration with OPI Cajun Shrimp nails and by drinking Californian wine with my girls….

Rainbow Nails

In celebration of the fact that I have a camera again some quick rainbow nails. Base colour is Essie Mesmerize. Totally worth having the postman wake me up before 8:00am on a Saturday!

Essie Blue Rhapsody

This one is from the Mirror Metallics Collection which is available now. It’s a strong silver-blue chrome, one of the best I’ve tried. You really only need one coat but this is two. Application is great but like all chrome style polishes this will chip if you don’t use a top coat, although the quick wear test I did on this seemed to come off better than most.

When I saw the promo images for this collection I wasn’t that bothered but picked Blue Rhapsody up as part of a Boots haul as I liked the look of it. Having tried this one I definitely going to go back to get more from the collection. They are some of the best chromes I’ve seen with a true solid metallic finish. The others in the collection are Good as gold (gold chrome), Penny talk (copper metallic), Nothing else metals (lavender metallic) and No place like chrome (silver chrome)

In other news I finally have a new point and shoot on order so I won’t have to use am Iphone to take dodgy nail pictures any more, yay!

Chanel Peridot

Much duped but forever my favourite
