Pastel, Leopard, Crosses and Studs

I want the Winter and cold to go away so much that I've already started wearing pastels. Haha! Wishful thinking! This is Illamasqua Purity. A lovely peach creme that's super pigmented and opaque for a pastel. I had some trouble with the formula but it is a pastel after all!

I've also been wanting to mix patterns and ideas on my nails so I went for a mish-mash of leopard print and gold studded crosses. I used Nails Inc Big Ben for the leopard spots and the round gold studs are from the Born Pretty Store.

    Lovely! ^^ I love the mixing of techniques and looks! And I also have Purity, and only wore it once. The formula put me off instantly...

      You're right! The formula isn't that great but I just love the colour so much, that's why I still use it every now and then!

    Gorgeous mani! I love this polish, I have it too! I hope I'm not the only one who gets some weird nerdy thrill when I see a mani with a polish I own! XD

    Wow, that is just absolutely gorgeous! I was at Sallys today staring at a china glaze polish similar to that one. Almost bought it, but already had plans for Ruby Pumps. Hehe

      Was it Peachy Keen? It's such a great shade as well but Ruby Pumps is stunner! You made a good choice :)
