TKMaxx spy pics of Color Club & Leighton Denny

Had yet another interview...heard the same thing "you're overqualified", "we are impressed with your skill sets"...well, ummm...where are the job offers people?!?!! ugh.

Anyways, that's my life these days. Looking for jobs, taking phone calls, answering emails.  I am glued to the computer, so I had to peel myself away and made it into town.  I popped into tkmaxx and I behaved myself.  I didn't buy anything, but I did spot some really good deals, so I wanted to share with you all in hopes that someone out there grabs themselves a good bargain.

First up...

COLOR CLUB POLISH SET

£7.99

  

That second polish looks amazing!

Next....

LEIGHTON DENNY SET

Yes it's £24.99, but considering that's the price of 2 polishes, this isn't that bad of a deal

 

There were tons of Michael Kors scarves & hat sets for £10 on clearance that were cute, but none of the packaging was that great.

Have you gotten any good deals at TKMaxx?

Please share below with me :)

Holy Hologram!

Yeah I was stuffed, and sat here and decided to layer holo after holo on top of my nails..just for the hell of it. So enjoy!

 

What I used:

Essie fill in the gap base coat

Color Club Worth the Risque

Models Own Juicy Jules

Verity G11

Barry M Hologram Hexagram

no top coat

What's that in the sky? It's.....SPACE NAILS!

OK. So I have a bit of an obsession about space things right now.  First it started with a gift exchange on a forum themed as "Secret Astronaut", then it was watching this movie called "Sunshine", playing with left over glow and dark star stickers (yep I regress to a child some days :p), and now it's SPACE NAILS!

Here's my first try on space nails. I found the tutorial on nails by asami and I loved the idea.  I did however deviate from her rules a bit to get different effects.

just testing out different options with different polishes

Here's a set I made for a friend:

Materials used:

Kitchen towel/paper towel

and 

Polishes:

Chanel Black Satin

George - Twister (matt finish)

Sally Hansen - DVD

Funky Fingers - Baby Baby Baby

OPI - Original DS

Revlon - Belle

Barry M - Hologram hexagram

Color Club - Worth the risque

Color Club - Revvvolution

Now Asami's rules were very clear and easy:

1. First apply matte black nail polish. Any dark colour works on the bottom, if you really want to make it matte, you can just get a matte finisher as well.  My recommendation is going to Asda and picking up their black nail polish and matte finisher for only £2 combined.

2. Take a holographic polish and place onto a patterened napkin/paper towel and in a sponging effect start dabbing the nails.

3.  Take a duochrome polish and do the same as above

Step 2 and 3 will give that misty floating space mass effect

4. Apply any glitter polish.  This will mimick the stars. I was lucky to have a hologram glitter, so I placed the Barry M hologram hexagram first and then topped it again with Revlon Belle.

What I love the best about Space nails is that, no 2 nails will look the same.  It's an easy and very cool looking nail art.  As much as I like nail art, I find a lot of it is too "kawaii" inspired, and some of the more extreme kawaii just isn't my style. So this type of nail art is just what I like.

I'll be doing a lot more of these space nails. I need to find a cheap black polish, since I don't want to use up my entire bottle of Chanel just for this haha.  I'll be going to Asda and picking up my £1 black polish from the George line soon.

Have you guys tried space nails? What techniques and/or polishes do you use?
