BLACK & WHITE GRADIENT NAILS & RAINBOW GLITTER

Hey guys, I'm sorry for not posting but I'm sure you all know what it's like when exams are so close! 

So now I've done quite a few gradients I felt like it was time to try the black and white gradient, which I think can be difficult to get a smooth transition. I applied one coat of OPI Alpine Snow and then used it with OPI Lady in Black for the gradient and (minus the bit of sponge on my middle finger) I'm really happy with it! I did decide to snazz it up a bit with one coat of Lippmann Happy Birthday on the accent nail. 

Ok, I hope to get another post in next week but there's no promises, until then remember to smile :D

DEBORAH LIPPMANN RUBY RED SLIPPERS

Hey guys, are you all glad it's Friday? I am. 

Today has been a really long day and I'm so tired and happy to be home with no work to do, yaay!

So today I have a really pretty nail polish to show you from Deborah Lippmann. I picked this up from T K Maxx for £4 I believe. 

Its a black base with big and small red hex glitters. I applied 3 coats because it's quite sheer so the glitter shows through. This was really top coat thirsty though, I applied 3 coats of topcoat and you can see from the pictures it's still not a smooth finish!

I LOVE red glitter polishes, it just looks amazing, well at least I think so! 

If you guys don't own this, then I recommend you go and buy it, if you can't find it though or if it's too expensive then there are loads of dupes around which should do the job.

IRIDESCENT DIAMOND GLEQUIN NAILS

Hey guys, so when I did this mani I did my pinky and thought it looked pretty rubbish and so I wasn't going to continue with the other nails but then someone came round to the house and I didn't really want to see them so I stayed in my room and decided to continue, and funnily enough by the end of it I loved them, haha!

To do these then I started off with 2 coats of Deborah Lippmann Stormy Weather which I picked up cheaply in TK Maxx. I then used various different coloured iridescent glequins for the glitter placement before applying a thick coat of top coat, and because the glequins are translucent my placement is a bit sloppy here, oops! 

It's not as 'in your face' as most glitter placement nails but hit the light at the right angle and you got a gorgeous flash of different colours! 

Ok, so that's it for today, I have another beautiful Lippmann to show you tomorrow :)

BIG HOLOGRAPHIC CHRISTMAS BOWS

Hey peeps, another Christmassy nail design with glequins :)

I picked up a 3 packet of Deborah Lippmann from T K Maxx for only £8 in the clearance and this was one of the polishes and wow this is such a stunner, it's one of those polishes that glows from within, so so beautiful!

For these nails I started off with two coats of Deborah Lippmann Through the Fire and then used small, holographic, hex glequins and did these squares on my nails which ended up looking like a big shiny bow in my eyes!

So, that's it for today, hopefully I'll see you in the next post :)
