Welcome to my new blog!

To get things started, here's a colourful manicure I did with Mavala's Pistachio and Fresh Melon and e.l.f.'s Gum Pink. The Mavala polishes are from their Spring 2012 collection, Delicious Colours.


Now this was a very frustrating, time consuming manicure that I probably won't be trying again with these polishes. The Mavala polishes vere okay, they usually dry pretty quickly but they tend to bubble a bit if you do thicker coats. But that was fine, I didn't mind that. That e.l.f. polish on the other hand... It took about two or three hours to completely dry, and as you can see, I have a couple of dents on my nails that I got when I took the picture. And I waited an hour after painting my nails! I've found that most e.l.f. polishes are like that, which is a shame, because they're very cheap and there are some lovely colours.

I put on a matte top coat later that day and I liked how it looked but I was so annoyed about the drying time that I didn't even attempt to take another picture! Next time I'll definitely go for something a bit quicker.
