Emily de Molly Monet's Garden
Friday, September 27, 2013
I have a real quick one for you today! And yes I’ve had a lot on this week and in
the middle of it broke a nail so I’m back down to nubs again. But I bought a
whole bunch of consolation polish, and here is one my new additions. It’s Emily
de Molly’s Monet’s Garden. I don’t own many green polishes, but this one just
looked so pretty I had to try it and I totally love it. There is a huge mix of
green glitters in different shapes, sizes and shades along with some tiny pink
and purple glitter. It really does look like an impressionist masterpiece!
Pictured is 2 coats with a coat of SV over the top. The first two are in
natural light, and the last is at night just because I think it gives a better
look at how the pinks and purples come out. It was quite a hard one to get the
camera to pick up on everything, but trust me that this is a stunner!
Emily de Molly is available from her online store here, FemmeFatale Cosmetics, and she also has a large list of international stockists on
her site.

I feel like I say this every week, but I swear I really mean
it this time. This is the sexiest colour ever! When Ruby Wing announced all of
their Cupcakes and Champagne collection, I thought this looked really blegh,
but then I saw the whole collection in person and fell in love. Cinnamon Bun is
a browny bronze to gold duochrome that goes a really deep shade of purple in
the sun. It’s the first colour changing polish I’ve had where I’ve been mesmerized
by the colour before I even saw the change. And it also smells like cinnamon –
just like Big Red chewing gum (thank goodness I love the stuff or otherwise I
think it might be a bit overwhelming). Here I am wearing 2 coats topped with
SV. It applied beautifully. The first 3 shots here are all inside, just trying to show you how fantastic the shift is, and the last one is in full sun.

I picked up these
adorable bows a couple of weeks ago and have been hanging to create a mani
around them. Normally I would have put them on my ring fingers, but they were
just that bit too big so thumb it was! I've never had much luck getting 3d
elements to stay glued to my nails, but this time around they stayed on there
for 3 days, and only came off because I got bored of them! How? I did something
very very naughty (and spent those 3 days freaking my nails would fall off!).
On those thumbs there is 5 coats of polish, and once that was all dried, I used
a small amount of e6000 glue - which if you haven't used it before is insanely
strong glue mainly used for craft. Those babies weren’t going anywhere! But of
course because there was so much polish underneath, once you started taking the
polish off, the bows popped right off. And once off you could also pull the
glue off them so they can be reused! Will totally have to try this again with
the other bows I bought (and if I accidently loose a nail in the process, I
only have myself to blame!). And in case you're wondering the green polish is 3
coats of Rimmel Misty Jade.
