Marble nails with a twist.
Clean white tips with colourful gems and a marble design on her ring finger. She ran out of ideas on what design to do and I came up with this. Very pleased with the outcome. :)
Purple and pink marble art on white french tips. Purple and pink on her ring fingers and thumbs. You really gotta give it to the Japanese. I always get lots of inspirations from the nail magazines!

Glossy gel!
Sparkling pink glitter with chrome stars and disco balls embedded! Super glossy and sparkling in real life. This young lady went to Japan with this set of nails and the Japanese were amazed by her nails! Hehehe. Objective achieved! :D
Glossy black tips with disco balls as polka dots. Not forgetting roses and crystals!

The tiffany gel colour.
I did a few designs using the tiffany blue before but it was done using China Glaze - For Audrey. This time round, I mixed the gel colour and came up with my very own Cynful tiffany gel colour. :D
This looks like a gift... With ribbons and blings.
Another simple design with lace and polka dots disco ball. I posted this on Facebook and received many 'likes'! :D

Illamasqua's Spring/Summer 2011 Toxic Nature Collection
Morning everyone!! Well, after much arguing with hubby and my bff/neighbor, I went to the dr. ps. I HATE the dr. It's sort of an anxiety I have, I don't know it's weird, anyways, I have Bronchitis *sigh* At least I got my antibiotics. Okay enough of that, on to some fun.
While being home sick, I got a surprise package from Illamasqua, I had no idea what it was, but I discovered it's 3 of the new polishes from Toxic Nature!!!!! Alex from Illamasqua, was so sweet to send these to me for my review. I was soooo excited, and of course, coughing my brains out, attempted my swatches, lol, and after about 300 pictures later, I finally finished. You should have seen the blurry messes I took while coughing. Now, some pics are taken in different lighting, I was trying my hardest to capture the true color, but since two are neons, my camera had issues.
Purity - Peach
*Bacterium - Pearlescent Ash Ochre
Okay onto the pics finally!!

According to the paper I got with them, these are available as of March 10th in the US, and in UK stores March 17th. There are a total of 5 in the collection:
Purity - Peach
*Bacterium - Pearlescent Ash Ochre
*Radium - Acidic Lime Shimmer
Stagnate - Grey Mauve*Gamma - Neon Orange
* - these are the 3 I received
I also loved their photos they did for this collection.
Now, I only owned 1 Illamasqua polish before this, but I really love their bottles and their formula is among the best out there. It goes on so easy with minimal effort
2 coats of Bacterium. This is my fave of the 3, although there are semi brush strokes, I don't care, it's such a unique color, and that's what I love!
Radium, this is soooo bright, that my camera has a hard time with neons :( There was no sun today either, so maybe tomorrow I will post some sunlight pics, if we get any. The shimmer in this is beautiful, and trust me, it's much brighter in person.
This is in direct light
This was taken away from the light
Outside, with no sun :(
Gamma, now I'm not a huge orange fan, but I love it. It really is neon, so once again, my camera was angry, lol. Maybe tomorrow, if there is sun, I'll try again, but again, WAY brighter in person.

Alright guys I'm off to bed, hopefully. *prays to the coughing gods, please let me be for 1 night*
