Nails Inc Great Portland Street feathers

I can't find any swatches online on this one, so maybe I'll be the first!!
Great Portland Street feathers is part of the latest auto delivery from the last Nails Inc TSV. It is a stunning mix of silver, red and purple bar glitter. It is super sparkly and I am so glad I got my hands on it.
I have actually seen a couple of swatches within facebook, fell in love with it instantly and had to have it. It arrived today so here it is.
I have painted it over Ciate Vintage, as I wanted a contrast with the red and the purple. I have just done the one coat, and then a coat of topcoat. It feels quite smooth so but I might add a 2nd coat of topcoat for a really smooth finish.

QVC Beauty Bash January 2013

I was lucky enough to be invited to the QVC Beauty Bash, as a last minute thing when a friend was unfortunately unable to attend. I could fill a whole page with how excited I was, don't worry, I won't, but I was excited!!! and eternally grateful to the friend who very kindly invited me along!
There were lots of stands there although I have to say I focussed my attention on the brands I already knew, and I was a complete tourist asking to have photo's with Lee & SJ from Bare Minerals, Lisa & Julie from OPI, Nina from Leighton Denny, Zoe also now with the LD team but originally a friend through a facebook page.
We had our nails painted on the LD stand, Drama Queen seemed very popular, and hand massage on the SBC stand, where I met the lovely Adele who presents on QVC.
So a couple of pics of Drama Queen:
 
It's a lovely colour isn't it and a struggle to decide which gloves went best!!! It's a very Cadbury's purple!

Unfortunately this chipped on the ring finger the next day and obviously I couldn't touch it up since I don't own this colour, so when Nails Inc Henley Feathers arrived courtesy of a lovely lady on the Nail Sale page, I just had to have a try.
I've never done a ring finger manicure before, wasn't quite sure but decided to give it a go, they are only nails after all!! These top coats dry very quickly and I think I need to get a bit more practice in at rearranging the glitters so its not perfect and I've seen much nicer swatches over paler colours but I think it worked quite well. The bar glitters are mostly silver, with black and copper but the black is not that evident here.
This look did grow on me, I might try it again one day.
