Lush Lacquer Hottie Tottie with Stamping

Evening all, hope everyone has had a great weekend..I'm having a 4 day weekend so I can't complain! Anyways, I have been dying to try one of the Lush Lacquers that I received last week, I had not much success with the previous Jelly Sandwich Mani that I did last week..it slid off the next day! So disappointing  :( The nail polish didn't seem to dry and as the day went on there was crinkling and pitting and turned into putty-like consistency which came off. Grrr. I wonder if it was the Kleancolor not drying (it can be slow) or the mixture of Kleancolor and China Glaze melding into a big mess..ah well. One of my friends gave me a negative review on the combo..the idea was good but the result was a bit sickly for her (Thanks Em!). I think perhaps a nice colored jelly will be the go!

So, onto the blinging out of my current mani....I had an awesome Royal Blue nailpolish combination of Kleancolor Sapphire with the Fantasy Fire topcoat  from yesterday and it was just begging to be blinged up, so I decided the glittery goodness of Hottie Tottie would go well.

Hottie Tottie
Look at all the pretty glitter!

 I applied Hottie to my Thumb, Ring and Small finger and stamped the Index and Middle finger with Stargazer Blue Chrome using Bundle Monster plates for most of the nails and a Fauxnad from Ebay for the horse stamp. Top coated with Seche Vite.
I really like how it's turned out, enough to keep it for the week I think!

 I think the overall look is awesome! Hottie Tottie was easy to work with and looked great over the blue and the Stargazer chrome polish matches really well. I think I am going to have to have another go at the Max Factor Fantasy Fire thing..over a polish which shows it better. Hottie Tottie can be bought from  Lush Lacquer at their Etsy Shop. I have 3 other awesome polishes to try and they have quite a few other awesome ones to suit everyone!

Let me know what you guys think :)

Max Factor Fantasy Fire

My Fantasy Fire arrived in the mail on Friday, woot! So I was very excited this weekend to try it out. I have seen others layer it over a base coat to try and spare the teeny tiny bottles so thought Kleancolor Sapphire would be a great base.

I forgot to take a photo of it, but here is a pic of how it looked...just not on my nails!:

Then, with a coat of Max Factor Fantasy Fire..hmm..where did it go?

The "fire" in the Fantasy Fire has been eaten a bit by the Klean color basecoat and is hard to photograph. The bottom pic is the truest representation of how it looks. It's turned the Sapphire into more or a Royal Blue.

Here is a pic of the bottle, the purpley/fire-ness is more evident.

 I think I am going to bling this mani out now, with some stamping and Lush Lacquer glitter polish!

Haul and Giveaway!

I have been scouring the web for Max Factory Fantasy Fire..trying to get some of this liquid gold on nailpolish blog sales, before finally resorting to Evilbay. Oh for a fellow nail polish junkie in the Uk who can read my mind and know I NEED this and send it to me! LOL. Anyways, I stumbled across a blog sale on Osiris and Loki Paint their Nails, and to my excitement there was Pretty & Polished Galax-E, Hello Dolly and Dollish We're going to need a bigger boat...and China Glaze OMG! So I emailed the lovely Tara, and wallah..these little pretties were mine..all mine I tell you :)

 So they have arrived today..and although I haven't personally tried them, I am already enamored of them.... especially as this is my first Dollish, and it's named after the movie Jaws :) This is what they look like:
