ILNP UNDENIED & GOLD STAMPING

Hey guys, so it's been a busy few days, I had a mammoth exam yesterday (which I'm so glad is over and fingers crossed I've passed) my auntie had a baby girl in the early hours of today, and today is also my 21st birthday! For my birthday nails I'm just wearing ILNP Sirene. I haven't received any nail polish for presents but I got a gorgeous Michael Kors watch from my parents and other bits and bobs :) I also decided to treat myself to 2 of the new Ultra Chromes from the ILNP Summer collection. 

Ok, so for these nails I started with 2 coats of ILNP Undenied and then I used Barry M Gold Foil and stamped on an image from the BM- 313 plate. I think this is my first stamping mani for about a year and a half! Blimey! 

Like all the other Ultra Chromes by ILNP this is a stunner and I love the gold detailing with it! 

Ok, I'll see you guys in my next post, enjoy your weekend :)

OPI SPOTTED THE LIZARD & SOME STAMPING

I haven't done any stamping in a really long time! So when I tried out OPI Just Spotted The Lizard I thought I'd have to stamp something over it! For these nails I used 3 coats of OPI Just Spotted The Lizard and then used an image from the BM-319 plate from the Bundle Monster 2012 collection and w7 black.

So what do you guys think? I really liked this !

INDIAN INSPIRED NAILS

A while ago I was browsing on Flickr and came across this gorgeous mani which I just had to try out

So yeah, I got to try this out the other day!

For this mani I started out with 1 coat of Essie Lights and the using Essie Bazooka and a makeup sponge I created the pink & orange gradient. Once that was dry I stamped over it using the Paisley pattern from the BM-315 using Barry M Gold Foil. 

The overall effect reminded me of typical Indian/Pakistani prints and I'm so pleased with how it turned out ! 

I have cuticle oil on in these pictures because they were in a dreadful state so if my fingers are looking extra shiny then that's why!

STAMPED CHRISTMAS JUMPER NAILS

Hi everyone, how are you guys doing? Me, I'm not so good, my cat is ill and quite old as well so I'm not sure he's going to make it; the past few days he has been crying out the saddest meows which break my heart, he won't leave my side and just cries for most of the day, and it really really upsets me so I don't feel much like talking, but I have to get this post up.

These nails are 2 coats of Colour Club Ruby Slippers  and then stamped with the image from the BM-315 plate and topped off with Seche Vite.

SNOWY CHRISTMAS GRADIENT

Hi everyone, hope your all good :)

The inspiration for today's nails came from the gradient image on the BM-301 plate ! So I painted on 2 coats of Models Own Baby Blues and I used w7 white to stamp on the gradient which looked good but when I painted on the wavy tips to look like snow on the ground the falling snow looked way too subtle in comparison so I stamped over it again, it's  still subtle but I like it :) Oh yeah and then I dotted on 2 dots to make the snowman and done ! 

I'm not sure if it looks like it's snowing but I really like it, hope you guys do too :)

EASY STAMPED CANDY CANE INSPIRED NAILS

Happy Monday guys (if there is such a thing ) 

So this is probably simplest and easiest Christmas manicure I've done this year but it's one of my favourites  Well I say it's easy but for the last 2 fingers the image just would not stamp, I swear I must have tried about 15 times, I got there in the end though! 

So this is 2 coats of Max Factor - Redly Nightshade and then the stripey image from BM-301 plate 

So yeah a very simple. cute mani

 Ok, talk to you tomorrow guys take care 'till then :)

BUTTERFLY STAMPING NAILS

I got home about 10 mins ago from a work Christmas dinner, and I'm really tired (it's been a long day). 
 I had to post because I have so much to show you before Christmas so I can't miss a day ! 
Anways these nails I did a while ago for a stamping contest, that was when my internet was messing up and after brainstorming and doing the design for 3 hours the internet died and didn't come back on until the next day by which it was too late ! 
Anyway for the background I did a swirly tye die effect with black and blue, then I stamped on the butterfly image from BM-205 plate, but instead of using one solid colour I painted on Barry M Gold foil, a mini metallic pink Revlon and Barry M Silver foil in vertical stripes across the image and then stamped ! The gold kind of missed the nail in some places but hey, I'm still learning ; )

Sorry for the blurry pic but it shows the stamping better 

Then I topped it all off with 1 coat of Essence Waking up in Vegas 

Ok, guys I'm really tired so I'll leave it here and speak to you guys tomorrow : )

SALLY HANSEN PRISM STAMPING

So, I shortened all my nails because they were getting a bit too long and annoying and I kept scratching myself lol! I kind of prefer my nails shorter now, wonder how long it'll last 

Ok, I have a confession to make and it's a bit embarrassing, Ok well, out of all the polishes I own I don't have a simple black or white creme polish :o ( I know, don't judge me!) Well that all changed last week when I went and bought one of each from W7 (which are actually really good) and since then I've been trying to use them in nearly every mani ! 

So this is the first mani I did with my new black polish, it just glided on to the nails in 1 lovely, easy, smooth coat : ) After that I used a Sally Hansen Prism in South Sea Pearl and stamped the water marble design from the BM-320 plate (yes the stamp doesn't line up on all the nails but hey ho I'm still learning ! 

This prism doesn't look much in the bottle but over darker colours the duochrome comes out to play, unfortunately it isn't as strong in the photos as it is irl !

Gorgeous purple and green duochrome : )

Sorry for the picture spam but the duochrome wouldn't show up in all the photo's!
