Chelsea Flower Show Randoms!

I am back from my mini-holiday to London to see the Chelsea Flower Show and other touristy things! I thought I would share some cool photos with you before I go off to cook pizza...

In order of appearance...
1) Peonies called 'Bowl of Beauty' from one of the stands in the Great Pavilion
2) House of Parliament and the Big Ben
3) 'Beefeater' outside the Crown Jewel Hall at Tower of London
4) Astonishing table and chairs by the British Florists' Association
5) Fairytale tree by the National Association of Flower Arrangers' Societies

Please enlarge the last two photos to see the full glory of the arrangements!

Chelsea Flower Show was amazing! And the weather was amazingly bad!! We had torrential rain and frequent thunder all through the day so we were lucky the Great Pavilion (which has a roof) was taking up most of the day anyway...

My CND Shellac Chelsea Flower Show Green!

After coming home to the heartbreaking sight of my greenhouse in a million pieces and broken tomato plants, I was cheered up by Claire from Me To You Nails coming to do my Chelsea Flower Show green Shellac nails as seen on All Lacquered Up!

This is 2 coats of "Black Pool" with a coat of "Iced Coral". And it's AWESOME!! Just look at that teal glimmer! I can't wait to visit Chelsea Flower Show on Thursday, and I hope the storm winds and Grimsvotn volcano ash cloud keep themselves under control on Wednesday morning so I get to London!

NOTD update

I thought I would try and capture the grass-green side of "Outta Bounds" for you but every time I took my phone out the sun disappeared. Here it is anyway, those two streaks on my thumb are Revlon's new 'Just Bitten' lip stain + balm, the darker one is "Gothic" and the lighter one is "Flame". And the bottle is Cuticles Love Oil from Andrea Fulerton, it's very nice and smells of mint unlike most other nail oils!

NOTD: China Glaze "Outta Bounds"

Finally got a hold of this polish after years of searching :) This is 2 coats with FastForward top coat. So metallic-y and lustrous! It was a bot tricky to put on, it tended to flood the cuticles, but its so lovely all is forgiven. It looks a bit more teal green than it is in real life, so I will try to take another photo tomorrow.

I spy with my little eye....

I have CLEARLY been living in a box for a year, because I've completely missed out on the hype about Ozotic Pro polish! I just saw this at the Swatchaholic and drooled Starbucks iced latte on my dress...

I've not had a chance to explore the brand properly but apparently there is a little shop selling them from Australia called Picture Polish (they ship to the UK). Just look at those Multichromatics... 8-)

NOTD: Isadora "Lilac Bikini"

Was going to do Swedish flag nails, but they lost the World Cup trophy in an atrocious 1-6 defeat to arch-rivals Finland...

So it's consolation lilac nails instead. This is 2 costs "Lilac Bikini" (I just love the name) and Megashine top coat. Glides on like butter! :) It had a slight lilac shimmer as well which makes it shift colour in the light! Delicious! Even my Dad likes it!

NOTD: Converse Sneaker Manicure

Was bored watching the Eurovision voting so decided to do a mani matching my Converse sneakers I'm gonna wear playing indoor crazy golf tomorrow :)

Now for a quick snack so I'll last till the end of the final! :)
