FOTD & NOTD Catch Up

Hey lovelies,

Another week has begun and I'm behind on FOTDs and NOTDs as usual :p Time for a catch up!

On Wednesday I opted for pink lips and nails to go with my new bunting necklace. I also dug out my MAC in Lillyland pearlmatte eyeshadow trio, which is pretty in the plan but rarely gets used. Applying it reminded me why - I was seriously underwhelmed! It's so very sheer and the colour doesn't build. Son, I am disappoint.

Sticking with the girly pink theme, on nails I wore Nostalgic Lacquer - The Princess. Four easy coats + Seche Vite. Three coats looked good, but I added a fourth for complete opacity. Such a gorgeous polish.

On Thursday I took my new L'Oreal Infallible out for a whirl, opting for a soft khaki smokey eye. I really liked this look!

On my nails I wore a Franken of mine, A Million Balloons. I used 3 coats here but 2 were pretty good. I'd like to get some Glitter Food from Nail Pattern Boldness to suspend the glitter in this polish better, it needs a lot of shaking at the moment! I made this about a year ago with China Glaze Bahamian Escape, OPI Rainbow Connection and some of the MAC Reflects glitters - Blue and Transparent Teal, I think. That's the subtle shimmer you can see in the sunlight if you look carefully!

I added bows from Born Pretty Store. Michaela over at Nail Polish Anon posted an absolutely stunning mani with these a while back and I fell head over heels in love. I wore this mani for several days, which is a lot for me! Initially I stuck the bows on with Seche Vite, but it wasn't strong enough to withstand everyday activities with a toddler, so I stuck them back on with nail glue. They stayed firmly in place after that, and I received lots of compliments on this mani. Now I want to get lots more pretty bows and 3D decorations!

On Friday I opted for a smokey taupe brown eye look and red lips - always a great pick me up lip colour!

On Saturday I was feeling bright coral so I rolled with it. My spikey necklace got some love too! I forgot to apply primer though, and really noticed the difference in application. So much easier covering up blemishes with a primer down first.

To go with the coral and mustard/gold outfit, I did some fiery nails! This is 2 easy coats of Cerise from Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicure line, with 2 dabbed coats of OPI Oy-Another Polish Joke. I really liked how these nails came out - I'm still wearing them, in fact!

Thanks for stopping by!
