Home from the holiday..

So, I am back from my relaxing holiday in the nice sunny weather. I came back with more polishes than I took up, but meh..it happens! LOL. My polish mani's held up pretty well whilst I was away, not even a 50km jetskiing trip around the Whitsunday Islands could ruin them. Didn't even have a nail break! Not sure I like how long they are now but will cut them when I have to go back to work next week. Anyways, came home to a little bit of nail mail  but didn't get my Cheeky plates yet though :( So here is a quick NOTD with one of the polishes.

Of course I had to try Mad As A Hatter! I decided to pair it up with Layla Metal Chrome. I used Essence Peel off Base coat on all fingers to see how the polishes would apply :)

As you can see, Mad As A Hatter is an awesome polish! I can see why people must have it. It's like Rainbow Connection in mini macro glitters :) Mad As A Hatter was easy to apply,  3 coats for full coverage which was so glittery and awesome. Layla Metal Chrome didn't love the peel off base as you can see at the tips where there is some wrinkling/wear, but I wanted to have different levels of bling and shiney and hadn't planned on which polish on which nail. LOL.

I am still in holiday mode and have a few books to finish that I am reading but I am sure I will be inspired to do some nail art..although I want my Cheeky plates soon, dag nammit!

  1. Love MAAH! Don't think I'll ever own it. Did you see that preview of the CG Xmas collection? Looks like a multi coloured micro glitter that might satisfy my lemming for this!!

  2. Oh I love both of these! So sad that I didn't really get into polish until after these were released.
