Spa-Ritual - Foxy Lady

I know il probably regret trying to find Nail Polish with my name on it or related to something close to me, but its so much fun when you do come across something and you just have yo get it lol

As some of you know already, my name is Kellie Fox, so I've grown up being called a few nick names, such as, "Foxy - Foxy Lady - Vixen and Young Foxy.

SO My First obsession was China Glaze "Foxy" which kindly got sent to me in a Surprise package, then after i joined a discussion about Spa-Ritual, i thought id see what there was on Ebay, and as soon as i seen this i KNEW it was for me lol, i don't care for the colour, its a little to pinkish for me, but i don't care, i wanted it for the name....and every time i see it i smile. lol

 

Hits No Olimpo - Zeus

I was recently hooked up with a Brazil gal for a swap, (Thank you Samantha and Dayane) i choose to get some of the Hits Holo polish and im so glad i did although at firt I was a little disapointed at the size, my reaction was "ohhhh ermmm yeah ok" i thought they were bigger then that, id never questioned the size because photos made them look taller, but wow the power those little bottles have are awesome, I got No Olimpo Zeus, No Olimpo Hera, No Olimpo Apolo and Mari Moon - Unconventional.

The one im wearing is Zeus, i love dark grays and this is no let down, the polish is the best formula i think ive ever used, and im not exaggerating, its perfect,it went on like a dream, although i needed 3 layers each layer went on as well as the last, i think it made my nails look pretty, its such a easy polish to work with, and my only regret is i didn't get  more, but hopefully i can do another swap and add to my collection.

Everyone i spoke to about this polish told me it was long wearing, i tend to pick at things and i tend to get Tip wear after 24 hours with the best of polish, how ever the below photos is 5 days of wear, and its perfect, no tip wear and i mean none, so this has to be a first for me, i haven't done anything different then i normally do, in fact, i have a heat lump on my ankle and I've been itching it like mad yet no tip wear, i think that's fab.

you would think id just applied it from this photo, not a 5 days after pic.

My Cathrine Arley 668 - 805 - 670 - 672

After reading some good things about Cathrine Arley Nail Polish i thought id try it for myself, i found a site called Beauty Cosmetics, its a Bulgarian site and pretty great prices......Id read a few reviews saying they didn't send the polish very securely, so i was worried about that but i took a chance and didn't go crazy, i ordered 4 bottles and if they arrived safely then i thought id go ahead and order order more....

My package took 3 weeks to get here from Bulgarian to the UK, i don't know if that's good or not? my package had to be sighed for, and considering i paid 6 Euro's i thought that wasn't bad, they came in a Cathrine Arley box, which was inside a more sturdy box and each bottle was bubbled wrapped.

I'm surprised i got it, as the box was clearly marked "Nail Polish" ?? but I'm glad i did...Its a wonderful polish, and i was pleased that the others i wanted were not out of stock and i was able to order them, they haven't arrived yet but I'm excited to get them.

China Glaze - Tronica Digital Dawn

I'm slowly building up my China Glaze Trinicas (Thank you Samina) today's is Digital Dawn from the 2011 China Glaze Tronica Collection, i couldn't figure out what colour id like to say this is? Rusty copperish brown and a Dusky rose? what do you thing how would you describe the shade of this one? one thing i do know its identical to China Glaze 3d Fantasy, China Glaze TMI and maybe Sally Hansen Diamonds Golden Tourmaline but maybe that's a little more pink.

As with all the Tronicas i have they always go on patchy, it dries so fast you have to work fast, if you manage it you can get away with one layer, but i had to do 3 to even out the balding i got, it dries to a powdery finish, and for the FIRST time ever i never added a top coat, i liked the dull almost matte effect i got when it fully dried, i think the fact it dried so fast was why i didn't add my usual top coat of Sech Vite.

With out a top coat it did chip faster then id like, so i filled in the chip and added a top coat after 3 days, when i don't that i felt it dulled the holo effect a little and i found i liked it best with out the shiny look.

This will be a polish i will re use till its gone, those that know me know i don't normally do that lol but i have to admin I'm a huge lover of this one.

Urgh i broke my nails :(

I filed my nails down shorter because the sides stared to curl in and no matter what i did i couldn't fix them, i was happy with them once i had then all the same length and cleaned up, they went to long but not to short either, id say perfect and i was so happy i thought i might like to keep them at that length.

How ever Disaster struck and i broke the edge of my pointer finger on my left hand, i though hmmmm not to bad i can deal with that, then 10 minutes later i broke the other side off....i was like WTH, and i couldn't fix it....I have NEVER broken a nail in ohhhhh well over 12 months, so this is what i ended up with.......

See my pointer finger :( now to me it was VERY noticeable, it felt weird to me.

I want happy so i asked the girls in my nail polish group and they suggested filing them all down a little and i got carried away because i couldn't get a shape i was happy with and ended up doing a hack job and this is what I'm left with......Boy hand, I'm so upset, i don't want to paint my nails, i hoe this isn't the end of my obsession.

I know some of you may be saying "but they are not that short" but they look longer in the pic then they are in real life......Any suggestions on how i can grow them faster.....
