ORLY HIGH ON HOPE

Happy Wednesday everyone! So we are halfway through the week yaay, hasn't it gone fast? I'm sorry I've been a bit quite but I just haven't really had time to get a post up but I'm having the night off tonight so I knew I had to blog! 

So today I have a swatch of a gorgeous Orly polish! I remember wanting this when I first saw it but never got round to getting it so I was really happy to find this in T K Maxx for £2.99! 

It's a gorgeous blue with duochrome shimmer/flakes in it! Such a gorgeous combination!

CHINA GLAZE CHOO CHOO CHOOSE YOU - FALL 2014

Hi guys, I'll keep it brief today, I'm really tired. 

Today I have a gorgeous nail polish from the upcoming All Aboard collection for Fall by China Glaze, this was the only one which I felt I needed. 

It's a very unique nail polish and very beautiful. I used one thinnish coat and then one thicker coat, there's no topcoat on here and the formula is lovely, a tad on the thin side but I think it'll thicken up with time.

MULTICHROME MERMAID NAILS USING SHE SELLS SEASHELLS NAIL VINYLS

Hi everyone, how's your week going? Today I managed to organise most of my things which I've moved from my old bedroom into my new one aand I can actually see the floor again! Tomorrow I just have some makeup bits and my nail stuff to sort out :) 

When I got these gorgeous fish scale nail vinyls* from She Sells Seashells I knew I would have to do some mermaid type nails and I knew they would have to be epic which is why it took me so long to actually do them! These aren't quite epic but I love them nonetheless. 

So for these I started with 2 coats of Essence 144 Black Is Back* when that was dry I just applied the nail vinyls to the nail and then I sponged on a gradient using ILNP Reminisce and Sirene before peeling off the vinyl again. It didn't turn out perfect as you can see but it looked pretty amazing, if I may say so myself! 

I applied a coat of Essence Quick Dry Topcoat* which didn't smear my design and dried fast but left behind a bit of bubbling but that may be my fault, it was very hot that day! 

I really loved these nails, they flashed green, blue and purple most of the time and at funny angles showed lots of other colours too :) 

These vinyls are just awesome! I love the design, they're quick and easy to use, adhere to the nail well, and leave behind a crisp image. You can buy these for a very affordable £2.50 for 10 stencils here.

ILNP MASQUERADE & LIGHTNING BOLT NAIL VINYLS

Hey guys, tonight I have one of my most favourite manicure to date. It's no secret I love the ILNP Ultrachromes and, in my eyes, they are the best indie multichromes going! From the latest releases I wasn't sure if I should get Masquerade because it looked too similar to Nostalgia but the pre-order began on my birthday and I took this as a sign to buy them ;) Boy am I glad I did!

For these nails I layered one coat of Masquerade over a black base and on my ring finger I used these lightning bolt nail vinyls (which I received as a gift) from She Sells Seashells to paint on a multichrome lightning bolt.

 Words cannot describe how much I love this nail polish and how much I loved this mani! Actually I loved it a bit too much and ended up breaking a nail pulling down the shutters at work :'(

I'll shut up now and let you drool over the pictures!
