NOTW (feet): OPI Holland I Have A Herring Problem + Pedal Faster Suzi!

I really don't like feet. Especially not mine. Ew, my spindly toes. Anyway, look past my leg-appendages and enjoy the polish, if you can :D

I tried out two of the other minis that I got at Sally's on my feet, with the shimmery blue (almost a light denim colour, which I've been coveting for a while) 'I Have A Herring Problem' and the light but pretty 'Pedal Faster Suzi!'. It's far too wet to be wearing flip-flops right now (I can't wait until it's warmer and dryer; nearly all regular shoes give me blisters), so my perdy toes were mostly for my own benefit, although I did make the boyfriend tell me which he preferred :p (Pedal Faster).

Ewww...
You can't even see the colours very well, sorry! I only took the one photo and now I have something different on my nails...








NOTW (hands): OPI Care to Danse? + Pirouette My Whistle

Following on my last post about my ill-advised but fun Sally's trip, I decided to try out some of the OPI New York City Ballet soft shades from the mini pack I had bought there. I wanted something that wasn't so bright as uni work was starting up again and I wanted to have pretty but slightly more professional nails. Granted, when I went and applied a glittery topcoat, any professional image was somewhat shattered, but eh :p




I applied two coats of Care to Danse? so that my nails looked natural but healthy and bright and then applied the glittery topcoat, Pirouette My Whistle (oh, OPI and their names :p). I'm not usually big on glitter (mainly because it GETS EVERYWHERE), but this stuff stayed put without a top coat and didn't flake off, plus it looked pretty :) I especially liked the big round flakes. What do you think?

NOTW (hands) - China Glaze 'For Audrey'

A lot of the other blogs I follow post a picture of their Nails of the Day (NOTD), but since I only usually change my polish about once a week (due to finance constraints, laziness, enjoying the polish to its full extent, etc. :p), I've decided to go for Nails of the Week (I BET you didn't see that one coming :p).

For my first NOTW post, I'll show you what's been on my fingernails for the last few days. It's China Glaze's celebrated 'For Audrey', a cute blue that is, as far as I can, the *exact* shade of the Tiffany jewellery bags and boxes (i.e. 'Breakfast at Tiffany's) hence 'Audrey'. I was worried at first because it didn't look amazing with my pale skintone, but after a few hours with it on, I thought it was lovely. I'll definitely be using this one again!

These are my natural nails...my cuticles aren't amazing, but I'm working on them :) Sorry about my PS3 and computer keyboard getting into the photo; I'll crop next time, I'm just in a hurry right now!

What do you think? Have you ever tried this shade?

Coming up, I've got a retrospective NOTW for my hands (last week's), my feet NOTW, and some review posts about skincare and other beauty products :)
