Pathetic fallacy

I haven't done a simple swatch in a while so here is OPI - Emotions, it is part of the Liquid Sand collection that I am obsessed with.
It was a dull, rainy day and I had recently got this for £3 at TKMaxx so thought what better time to try it out. I used one coat and wasn't too impressed with the texture and the coverage but with another coat it looked great. 
This is one of my favourite colours from the collection, it seems to change in every light. It also looks quite smart without the boring classic black colour. 
It is a fine base coat for more nail art - which I did on top. 
This polish didn't seem to be a nightmare to get off cuticles - or take off all together. I didn't stain which you would expect so that was a nice surprise! 
Basically, I love it you should buy it. (But not full price - we all know the bargain are out there)

You can't say no to a great freebie

Today's post is a little different due to no new nails! 
I'm upset with my poor effort but I have been so busy with work experiencing the past few weeks.
So, I was getting a magazine for my journey home from London when I spotted ciaté polish in Marie Claire. Marie Claire is a good mag in itself but made a whole lot better at £2.50 with one polish and caviar thrown in. My mum followed suite and got the red polish (yay!)
The options were; nude, baby blue, lilac, red, pink and orange (I think that is all) With a great selection of nail caviar to compliment each individual polish colour.
I have never tried ciaté polish before so I'm glad I can try before I buy. I know many of the other nail bloggers out there love it so I am very excited to swatch at the weekend. 
The exciting news doesn't end there...
MC readers get an extra 20% off using a special code inside their magazine, this closes on July 9th which still give us nail impulse buyers to mull it over! 
MC are keen to see everyones mani's, so be sure to tweet them at #MClovesciate - I certainly will be. 
Hurry hurry hurry and get your Marie Claire before the colour you want goes!
If you bag yourself any of the polishes be sure to comment and let me know what they are like!
Ps how is it June already?

I have a herring problem



Just a quick OPI swatch today. I can't believe I have only just tried this! I'm in love. As the title suggests it's called 'I have a herring problem'. It's a grey blue with shimmer in it. I don't normally like polishes with a shimmer in but I'm really liking this. 

Short and sweet today. 
Have a good weekend everyone.
