New 31 day challenge day 19 - my favourite polish

Hello!

Now, this polish speaks for itself really, and I've worn it before. Beautiful, beautiful OPI DS Original. It's my favourite for two reasons - obviously because it's a beauty, and secondly because it was another surprise gift from my birthday club ladies. I wore it simply for day 19 of the challenge, just adding a little rhinestone to each nail.

NOTD - Purple. Holo. Gradient. featuring OPI DS Original!!!

Hello lovelies, have I got a beauty to show you today!

Yes, this is OPI DS Original, a polish I never once considered I'd own. I'd seen it, loved it, then put it away to the back of my mind because I knew I'd never afford it. I didn't even bother putting it on my wishlist. But then one day I got a surprise package from my lovely birthday club friend Nicole of Epitome of Superficiality all the way in Australia. She found some DS polishes at a beauty supply store, and was selling them at cost price, but it was the week of my little ones second birthday so I passed. Then a few weeks later I got a card through saying there was a package at the post office for me, and this was it. A few of the birthday club girls had clubbed together and sent me it! How nice of them! I love love love my birthday club, you are all stars!

Anyway, onto the polish! prepare for a lot of pictures, a  few bottle shots first. I actually gasped when I took this baby out in the sun the first time.


Of course when I changed my polish that night I had to break it out. 2 coats later...





I didn't dare add any topcoat for fear of dulling the holo, so I had some tip wear after a day. Not wanting to take it off though I added another coat and then sponged Glitter Gal Dark Purple 3D Holo on the tips. I did topcoat this time, to smooth it out, and I don't think it dulled the holo at all :)





LeSigh. How yummy? How awesome would it be if everything was made out of holo? Blingtastic.

I have quite a few holos in my collection now (although I am still searching for the as yet elusive GOSH Holographic Hero, as soon as I get my mitts on one I will be wearing it to death) so I might do a holo week soon if the sun stays :) I'd like a blue holo before I do though, any recommendations?

Monkey See Monkey Do Monday - Holo dotticure!

Hello!

Now I'm back into the swing of things, I'm loving being bale to join in with challenges again, and since I've been on a bit of a pinning spree (you can follow me on Pinterest here!) since I've been back online, I decided to have a go at Monkey See Monkey Do Monday, and recreate a Fingers Polish Mania manicure from last week.

I started with a-England Tristam and M&S Rainbow, added dots to opposite colours and adding OPI DS Original (I have a full post of the beauty coming up soon!) and then topped off with Fingers' signature funky french tip, again with Tristam and Rainbow. This is the result! Even on shorties I think it looks fun!




Here's Fingers' original design, she has more dots and they're smaller, and I thought it was such a fun manicure I had to try it. Plus, I couldn't wait to wear Tristam, which I got in A-England's recent £5 sale. Bargain for such a beautiful polish!
