The man with the golden gun on Her Majesty's secret service

I went to my local Sallys a few days back and saw they had their Christmas sales on. I wasn't that blown away by the few China Glaze 2012 Christmas collection polishes they had left so didn't pick any of those up.

 

However, I was thrilled to find OPI's James Bond polishes were reduced - my gobsmacking moment - when a £30 bottle of The Man With The Golden Gun was reduced to £13.

 

I layered this gold flakie over On Her Majesty's Secret Service:

 

 

 

The 18k real gold flakie top coat was a little bit of a pain to work with. The flakies are in a clear base which I found to be quite thick. The golden flecks are sparse as well which made it tricky to work with. I certainly would not have bought this for the full £30 price tag but for £13 in the sale it's ok to have for the collectors value.

 

Have you used this topcoat? If so what do you think - is it worth the hype?

 

 

 

 

Dotting Tool Manicure

I hope everyone had a good Christmas - what did you get up to? I haven't posted for about a month, I need to get back into a routine. Has this ever happened to you? I started a new job a few months back and working hours are much longer than before and I attend council meetings a couple of times a month which means I don't get home until late.

 

New Year resolution - get back into the swing of blogging because I enjoy it, it's my hobby.

 

A quick manicure I have been wearing over the last couple of days:

 

 

 

Two coats of Potion by 17 and using a medium and small sized dotting tools with Color Club neon polishes to dot diagonally across the nail. Simple, but bright and fun.
