My First REAL Post!


My First REAL Post!


(AND ON FRIDAY 13TH!!! )

Hi everyone!

I was unsure which polish to start my blog with, so I just closed my eyes, stuck my hand in the box and lifted a random one out.

It was a polish  by a company called Vollare Cosmetics. It does not have a colour name but it does have a number... unfortunately I can't tell you it as it's been rubbed off! :s


I had never heard of this brand before but it was bought for me by my DH from Prague. (I have a range of these colours, so will swatch them all at some point)
It is a lovely pale mint green shade that goes on quite sheer so will need several coats. I used 3. I noticed it had a very strong smell, like seaside rock you'd get from Newcastle/Blackpool etc! lol!


3 coats of Vollare Cosmetics No:?

After it had dried (each coat for 20 mins) I put on 2 coats of Hedy's Manishma - Beyond Opal. This is a gorgeous opal sheer polish that shimmers green and purple.

After this had dried, I decided to use my nail art pen/brush Pink Tease in Black and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Emerald city to do a leopard print on my ring fingers

I also used a base and top coat - both La Femme.

I know I need to get my photo skills sorted. I'll get better as I go along :D

I hope you enjoyed
