Eyeko

I ordered these three little polishes from the Eyeko website ages ago and forgot I had them! I am terrible!  They came as a set and cost £6 (including postage and packaging).  They are Lilac Polish, Cosmic Polish and Indigo Polish. I have to say that I am more excited about the Cosmic Polish.  It's a black shimmer with coloured glitter!  I do look for polishes that are a bit different and this one certainly looks like it does the trick.  Well all in all I was pleasantly surprised by these polishes.  They were really smooth to apply and had a lovely shiny finish. I took these outside with and without flash except for the Cosmic Polish where I photographed it inside as well because I couldn't capture the beautiful coloured glitter.
Cosmic Polish is a black polish with coloured glitter.  Indigo is a deep blue with a subtle shimmer which makes it glow from inside and the Lilac Polish is a gorgeous creme with red undertones.

Cosmic Polish is so pretty especially when it catches the (artificial!) light.

Thanks for stopping by.

"Up" Inspired Manicure!

Disney Pixar have done it again!  As you may or may not know I am a Disney Nut.  In fact me, my husband and my daughter are all dotty about Disney.  We love the films, the characters, the programmes, the music and most importantly, the parks.  We always go and see the latest Disney film and "Up" is no exception.  Five months after its release in the States, "Up" is finally released here in the UK.  What I love about Disney Pixar is that they come up with fresh and creative stories.  Think "Cars", "Monsters Inc.", "Ratatouille", "Wall-E" .... well you get the picture!  All these stories are original and are told in a unique way.  "Up" tells the story of a man who has dreamed of adventure all of his life.  Sadly, life gets in the way and he finds that he has left it too late to embark on his dream ..... or has he?  Through determination he sets out on his "once-in-a-lifetime" adventure and comes across many obstacles on the way.  Once on his journey he comes across an "accidental stowaway" in the form of a young Wildlife Explorer named Russell.  The relationship that develops between these two characters is not only endearing but also emotional as they form a very special bond.  Disney Pixar portray this relationship between the young boy and old man as one with sensitivity, dignity and respect.  Who would of thought that an animated hero could come in the form of a seventy-eight year old man?  I can't forget to mention the talking dogs!  Doug the Dog is a wonderful addition to the story and you immediately fall in love with his innocence and loyalty.  I won't ruin it for you if you haven't seen it but all the dogs talk through the wonders of technology!  Don't worry I won't give anything away.  All I will say is that who ever came up with the voice for the evil doberman is an absolute genius.... I have never laughed so loud in my life!  A brilliant concept and a fantastic film based around a simple yet clever story.  I have heard some reviews that have said that Disney 3D Digital dims the bright colours of the animation and I'm sure it does, but, honestly, I didn't notice it at all.   I loved it!
I was so inspired by this film and love the balloons which feature in the film as well as all the posters.  The colours are just beautiful so I wanted to do some nail art for it and I came up with the idea below.  It was all going so well until I put some top coat on to seal it and it all shmoooshed together!  Oh well, I still think it looks pretty!!  x

Nfu Oh - Oh I Love you!!!

I have recently hauled some new Nfu Oh polishes .. (my name is Jodie and I am a polish addict!)  Will swatch my new additions later.  The one below is Nfu Oh 118.  I also love blue and purple polishes too!  I am having trouble getting my sticky mitts on Nfu Oh 51, 52 and 60.  I'll just keep on wishing!

I topped this mani off with a 3D flower, complete with tiny rhinestone, courtesy of Dawn from RadiantBabe......thank you Dawn!
