PURPLE & TOFFEE HOLOGRAPHIC SPARKLY GLITTER PLACEMENT NAILS :)

Hey guys, how's your weekend been? I haven't done much this weekend but I know next week is a busy one so it balances out right, haha!

So earlier today I posted a sparkly video of these nails, if you don't follow me on Instagram, be sure to because I often post sneak peeks of what's coming up on the blog!

Ok so I bought some toffee coloured holographic disc glequins and I wasn't really sure what to pair it with but I ended up settling on this lovely purple by Alix Avien, which I picked up in Turkey. 

I started off with 2 coats of Alix Avien and then just applied the glequin discs before applying two thick coats of topcoat. 

I wasn't expecting to but I really loved these

I really ended up liking these! I think the two colours work nicely together and it's sparkly and holographic, what's not to love? 

Thanks for stopping by guys, I'll see you in the next post :)

ONE STROKE FLOWERS 1ST TRY

Hi guys, are you ready to go back to work tomorrow? I'm work evening shifts so I'm going polish shopping tomorrow morning to cheer myself up, hehe :)

Anywho onto nail business, I've finally given the one stroke technique a go; way back in January when I should have been revising I ended up spending  half a day (and a night) procrastinating by watching loads of one stroke videos on youtube and I was completely fascinated ! I couldn't wait to try it out and was sure it would be the first thing I tried out after I'd finished my exams, well funny how the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry right? 

Well anyways I finally gave this technique a go a couple of weeks ago and today I'll show you my first try.  

It's not prefect, in fact it's far from it but the colours seem to work together which is why I think I've got away with it here!

There's obviously room for improvement, but I'm quite pleased with this! What do you guys think and have you tried this technique out?
