Mix up nails

I was meant to post yesterday but I didn't cos I had a massive migrane *hangover* so I really didn't want to look at a bright screen but I'm here now so that's all that matters. I really wanted to do something fun and bright so I took out my nail art pen and nice colours and got to work, I only had three colours that matched so I decided to use a opposing colour as an accent so that's why it looks odd haha. 
 For my index finger I used Topshop Hypnotic which is silver with flashes of pink and green
 For the thumb I used Ultra Violet and Aqua Cool both by Rimmel Pro 
 The red is Urban purple by Rimmel Pro and the gold for the chains is 25 carot gold by Models Own.
I almost left the pinky and middle fingers with just the two colours but I thought they needed something to link (haha you get it ;)) with the metalic nail, I am happy with the way it turned out, the outline of the chains are really messy as it was my first time using the smallest dotting tool to draw with as it were so I didn't quite get the hang of it :P. I like it, it's fun to look at and so I'm pleased with it. I did this on saturday and everything is holding up well without a topcoat, naughty I know but I couldn't be bothered if I'm being honest lol. 
All the polishes dried nice and quickly and all bar the red are two coats, I really like the Rimmel pro polishes they are really saturated and have a nice big brush which makes applying it super easy, one stroke for my little nail :P.

I'm still waiting over a week after my orders for my two ots of polish to arrive, it's totally annoying because I ordered them to my house and I'm returning to uni tomorrow for 6 weeks.....I'll have to get my mum to post them up to me if they ever arrive *sigh*. I got two polishes from a-england and 3 from Nubar (my first Nubars, will they ever get here? Lol). 

Hope you enjoyed!

Topshop Hidden Treasure Swatches and Review

Hi! I stopped at my friends last night so I couldn't post but I have the most gorg polish today, I bought it along with two others the other day...
Topshop Hidden Treasure and Hypnotic and Model Own Indian Ocean (new beetlejuice) also I found this Barry M 217 apparently called Silver Sea in my drawer at home that I bought years ago for my prom! 

 So I chose Hidden Treasure as it is a very attractive polish and it does not disappoint :D





This was my first topshop polish, I don't know why but I had always been put off buying them, not least because of the price but this one is totally worth it :). The only problem is that is hows all imperfections, like the way it makes my index finger nail look like a grape :( and it makes my ring finger nail look wavy but I think that macro amplifies it, these faults aren't so visible IRL. I love it when it looks solid gold it's so lavish, I have had this on since yesterday and I plan to keep it on til tomorrow at least, I feel expensive whilst wearing it even though it's just topshop. All I can say is praise the Chanel gods for creating such a luxurious nail varnish! 
Truely in love, I'm happy that it is a really strong duochrome as well, I'm hoping that hypnotic is just as good. I think my nails are a tiny bit too long, verging on creepy lol!!

I shall probably see you tomorrow with Hypnotic!
