Top 4 RC Purchases - Purple

Image
Happy Easter Everyone, Hope you have all had a huge amount of chocolate and are having a nice long weekend. I am back with my Top 4 RC purples today and actually I found this one quite difficult because surprisingly I don't seem to own that many purples! Now I'm sure your all expecting to see Berry Good Looking in this post but I am saving that for something else but there are some very special polishes in this post. So here they are - 1st up from Glam Polish is a store exclusive from last summer. Amethyst Dusk is a pretty Lavender purple with a blue shimmer. I was actually on holiday when this was released and I had to make sure I had Wi-Fi at 8pm to get this before it sold out - I'm a dedicated RC junkie!! Sadly this has now sold out but it's still a stunner. This is an extra special one too because it had been on my wish list for a long time and just before my 30th birthday I gave my dad a list and just put Any Bear Pawlish and because he clearly k

CBL Spring 2016 - A very special collection

Hi everyone, I hope you are having a good week so far. I'm changing things around this week and instead of my top 4 RC purchases I have some swatches from a very very special collection. The amazing Leah Ann of Colors by Llarowe recently released her spring collection and not only is it the most gorgeous collection but the inspiration for this collection is just perfect. This collection is called A Tribute to a Wonderful Friend and here is Leah Ann's introduction for the collection - There are times in life that we find a person who inspires us.  Even though I have never met Helen as she lives an ocean away, she is my hero.  I always thought life was just a means to an end and that life was a painful journey with rich rewards at the end.  I was wrong.  Helen has shown me that I need to treasure each and every moment here on earth and to live as if tomorrow will never come.  Helen finds joy in the smallest moments and even in adversity.  She is and has been battling an il

Saturday Stamping - CBL & Yours

Happy Saturday everyone, My nephew woke me up hours ago - no lie on for me! But it meant to excuse to be late with this weeks Saturday Stamping!!! I created this mani last night and OMG did I have problems - it was one of those where nothing went to plan. 1st my stamper wouldn't pick up properly, then it wouldn't transfer the full image, I managed to drop 2 open bottles on my bedroom carpet - luckily no breakages but my carpet now has a few blue splodges (its where my boxes got so luckily now hidden) and then to top it off I ripped one of my favourite tops while leaning to get something. So it ended up taking me forever to get it right and get all the pictures. So I really hope you all like this mani and think it was worth the stressful time - I will leave links below. I used CBL Bananas and Krispy Kreme Dreams are better than HBO for the base and CBL Thunder Shake to stamp (this is not a stamping polish but its very pigmented and a 1 coater so worked) as always HK Girl
