Barry M - Peach Melba, GOSH Frou Frou and some new shoes :D

ive been on the look out for a perfect creamy orangey peach for this seasons summer, as we all know orange is in!! well last week i thought i had hit the jackpot with Models Own Golden Peach, but then a friend asked to borrow a colour like it without shimmer (she doesn't do glitter or shimmer!!) and i thought, hmmm i don't own anything  like it without a shimmer, so i racked my brains and thought maybe barry m have a orange one from there ice cream range, nope, then i went into superdrug last week and i found this! its called peach melba, and its a pale creamy peach with no shimmer, the colour sadly is extremely hard to capture, and this one is the closest to it! its kinda a salmon pink coral, but has a definite peach about it, like all barry m polishes this is only two coats, as all there polishes are thick and not overly fast drying sadly, 
one base coat, 2 coats peach melba and one coat of seche vite

GOSH - FROU FROU
well once again im using this polish to liven up a previous mani!!! i decided to put this over barry m peach melba after a day of wearing, as i got bored of it, so decided to completely layer it, as i hadnt got round to doing a full mani in it, and its a hot as i thought i would be, i love it so much, its a perfect dusky pink, mauve colour with same colour glitter, in the different lights, it looks dark purple, baby pink, dusky pink and even plain silver, application is amazing as with all gosh polishes, and it dries so quickly, i was expecting brush lines, but nope, just pure sex on my fingers :)



a very quick shoe purchase!! 

today i went to new look and got these babies, omg, sexy shoesss :)
me likey :) gunna be my new all the time heals me thinks, and they have the ankle support, so no problems wearing these babies all night long :) and shoes i promise you i wont leave you in the pizza house like i did my hot pink pair :( im such a bad momma :(
and now to look at my feet,. :) my friend was like, why bother to do pedi's on ur feet if u don't take pics, so i did :) kinda needs touching up tho, but didn't want to risk getting remover on my tips :)

here we have barry m - pure turquoise and barry m pink flamingo  topped with a few coats of china glaze fairy dust :)
hope your all well <3 and hugs

Models Own - Golden Peach
I saw this colour a few weeks ago at my local boots, but i ignored it, figured it wouldn't suit me, and that it would take to many coats to hide any vnl, well i admit, i have to eat my hat, it is amazing, a perfect coral, warm, a coral base, with gold and coral shimmer, which was very hard to capture! i could wear this polish for a few days without thinking its getting boring!!! this is a total of 3 coats, and no topcoat!! i loved the finish!! 

however i was bored of it by the next day, so i decided to try the;

Models Own-Silver smash-up

well i don't own opi silver shatter to compare this to, but from looking at swatches of it online, i think the models own is more of a silver colour as apposed to the glitter in the opi, it does however give off a nice eye-catching shimmer to the nail, the cracking effect is ok, i tried both thick and thin coats, with the thick being on the top 2 nails and thin coats on the bottom 2, i think with this polish the thicker coats have shattered better, the smash-up defo needs a top coat of something, as it is a rough glitter feeling finish, yuck lol, the pics are minus a top coat, as i knew it wasn't going to be long!!! lol
