Essence twins - Chuck & Blair

Since yesterday I promised you photos with the stuff I bought in London here are they:
My wishbone necklace from Topshop

The gorgeous Andrea Fulerton polish


My new van


And today's polishes are another pair of the twins Chuck & Blair
Chuck is the cream one, a dark blue one and Blair is a glitter polish, it's got small holographic ones, larger hexagonal silver ones.
For the cream I applied two coats, one would have been enough but you know me. Application was good.
The glitter is in only one coat this time. 
Here are the photos:

China Glaze - Cha cha cha

Hey guys!!
Sorry about the lack of posts since friday. I was away on a long weekend in London, for the marriage of a friend of ours, who lives there. I loved London!! It's such a beautiful city, with the chic houses with the colomns. We staied at a hotel in Notting Hill and it was just in a street full of little shops that sold antiquities, a little cupcake shop and a lot of cafés.
We went out to a club after the wedding and I saw the centre of London at night, it was as populated at  3 a.m. as in the middle of the day.
We took a tour of the city in one of those duble decker buses. We had one sunny day and two with lots of rain, but it was ok. We ate at a pub a big burger with chips (this is how they call fries).
Everybody there says Cheers! all the time, don't know why, even the steward said this to me as I boarded the plain.
I bought an excellent miniature Volkswagen car just like the one that Kelso has in That 70's show - I don't know if that show has any fans among you guys. Now I am super tired, and don't have time to show you pictures, but I will take some tomorow of the things I brought back and post them. I also bought two Barry M polishes, one Topshop necklace which is just so cute - the pendant is a wishbone -  and an Andrea Fullerton polish.
And so I can show you some polish pictures, since this is a polish blog, today I have for you the green polish from the Island Escape collection.
It's a green jelly base, full of gorgeous green shimmer. It was opaque in two coats, and the formula was just like on the other ones, it's a bit runny but nothing I can't handle. The application was ok too, the first coat is very transparent, you think that you are going to need many coats to get full opacity, but actually two is enough.
So here are the photos - clikc to enlarge:
