detox - white notd

After spending lots of time recently in red, blue, purple and other dark polishes, my nails had become seriously stained. Really not nice to look at. So here's my answer, to give my nails a chance to relax a bit without fear of staining - a 'detox', if you will.

It's Rimmel London Lasting Finish in 085, the aptly named Chalk White, and with a nice coat of shiny topcoat it doesn't come out too 'chalky' or 'white out-y'. I rather like white nails, in fact.

The downside of having horribly stained nails underneath them, though, is that any tipwear or chipping is painfully obvious, because my nails are not even remotely close to white-colored. Uck.

Nails Inc Maple Place

Another Nails Inc shade, not much to say. Same at the other ones, application was great and it chipped pretty quickly after. Would wear again.


This is a stainer.

Peacock EOTD

This was an eye of the day I did for a party a little while back. It was way more dramatic than most things I've done, but since I have hooded eyes it didn't look OTT. Instead, it just looked a little flashier than usual.


It was a mix of a ton of different shades of eyeshadow, all blended together. I have several blue-and-gold palettes, one of which is from Rimmel which I've swatched before. I also used a few Collection 2000 glitter pots I picked up at the pound store, and a sample of blue mascara from a Boots No 7 gift with purchase. (I never thought I'd end up using that...)
