PICTURE POLISH KRYPTONITE & GLITTER PLACEMENT

Hey guys, how have you all been? I'm actually full of cold, I've moved out for university this year and came home for the weekend and my brothers have managed to make me ill, just in time for me to go back tomorrow to a very full week!
Anywho, for these nails I have on Picture Polish Kryptonite which was a present from my beautiful friend Saira and for that reason it's a very special polish, not to mention absolutely stunning!
I've used 2 coats on all my nails here and for the ring finger I did a glitter placement using this amazing triangle glitter I got from my other beautiful friend Sarah! 
Words cannot express how much I love these nails so just look at the pictures and scroll all the way to the bottom to see some awesome macro shots! Enjoy!

BARRY M CARDAMOM AND HOT PINK TRIANGLE GLITTER PLACEMENT

I know it's been a very long time, what should I say? Sorry!
I will be posting very occasionally probably and yeah I don't have the time or patience to watermark my pictures anymore so if you're planning on stealing them, please don't
Today's post features this gorgeous Barry M Gelly polish in the shade Cardamom, can I just say I love Cardamom and this colour is just gorgeous and unique in my shrinking stash(I believe) I love this polish so so much!
So I paired this with these amazing hot pink matte triangle glequins which I was gifted by my friend Sarah. (Yes my glitter placement is a hot mess, I'm out of practice!)

EASY SUMMER FLOWER NAILS

Hey guys, a really quick post from me today before I head off to bed. I can't remember if I saw this design on instagram and where, when my brain is working I will check! 
Ok so I love yellow for summer and Essie Shorty Pants is my favourite yellow ever! I started off with 3 coats and used OPI Alpine Snow and a dotting tool to make the flowers, then I added a gold circle glequin in the centre of each flower. Unfortunately when the white flowers dried they ended up looking yellow :( 


Ok, so that's it for now, I shall see you tomorrow hopefully :)

MERMAID TAIL NAILS

Happy Sunday :) I was doubting posting todays nails because they're a bit of a nail fail in my eyes but then I thought hey why not? 
For these nails I started off with 2 coats of OPI My Vampire Is Buff and then used some turquoise acrylic paint to paint on the details and then used some holographic blue and gold rhombus glequins* which I received from DesignsByV for my ring finger and I place one gold glequin on the rest of the nails. 




Not a very good glitter placement but hey no ones perfect. 
I have a busy week ahead of me so I don't think I'll post every day but enjoy your week guys :)

NEON PINK DIAMOND GLEQUINS

Hey peeps, how are you all? Today I have another mani using some of the awesome glequins from DesignsbyV, for these nails I used these neon pink rhombus glequins*
I wasn't sure what to pair these with, in the end I decided to go with something neutral. So I started off with a coat of Sally Hansen Whirlwind White and sponged on some Essence Got A Secret and Barry M Grey. When I applied topcoat the sponging effect more or less disappeared but I love the glequins, I haven't seen anything like them before and guess what... I love neon glequins! 



Ok, I think I may have rambled a bit but my head is tonight working not properly.

ILLAMASQUA JO'MINA & TURQUOISE GLEQUINS

Hey guys, so yesterday I was featured in Illamasquas Beauty Spotlight! You can see the post here. You guys know how much I love Illamasqua so this was a huge honour :) 
Anyway on to the nails, for these nails I used Illamasqua Jo'mina on all the nails except the accent nail on which I used Illamasqua Muse. I then used these 3mm turquoise glequins* which I got from DesignsbyV to do a full glitter placement on my accent nail and I placed a single piece near the cuticle. Because these glitter pieces are on the large side you do need several layers of top coat to stop it catching on everything.  






Ok, so that's it for todays post I will see you tomorrow :)

ILLAMASQUA TAINT & HOLOGRAPHIC PURPLE MOON GLEQUINS

Hey guys, just a really quick post tonight. 
For these nails I started with 2 coats of Illamasqua Taint, when that dried I used the purple holographic moon glequins* I received from Designsbyv to make a nice stripe down the nail and I actually really like how these turned out and the purple and brown contrast. I finished it all off with 2 coats of top coat, you may need another coat because this glitter is a little bit thicker than the other glequins I use. 




  

Ok guys, I'll catch up with you in the next post :)

HOLOGRAPHIC BLUE & PURPLE GLITTER PLACEMENT GRADIENT

Happy Wednesday guys, how are you all? I've been working really hard this week since I've gone back to uni and honestly when I get home I'm so tired and honestly I've not even thought about blogging. 
I did receive some nail mail yesterday which I'd been very excited about but unfortunately one of the bottles in it broke which makes every nail addict sad :(

Anyway here is a lovely, very holographic and sparkly glequin gradient. I used a base of Gosh Misty Mauve and blue & purple holographic glequins and reversed the gradient on my accent nail in true Polish All The Nails style.
 I had to apply about 3 coats of topcoat to get it all smooth. 



  







I don't have time to think about nails right now, I'm really looking forward to the long weekend, hopefully I'll be able to paint with my nails and get some blog posts ready, see you until then :)

PINK & PURPLE GLITTER PLACEMENT GRADIENT NAILS

Hey guys, I hope you've all had a lovely weekend :) I love Sunday evenings, they're the most relaxing part of the week, I'm watching Modern Family, editing photos and getting posts ready with a big hot mug of yummy coffee :) 
I am in love with todays nails! I bought some more glitter recently and when I got them I decided to try a gradient glitter placement using the pink and the purple and I think they turned out great! They are so sparkly and I think the colours blend together really nicely :) I did need about 3 coats of top coat on this but it was totally worth it! You can see quite a few bubbles but they weren't noticable irl!












 I forgot to mention the base coat is Orly Pure Porcelain. I love this so much and I'll definitely be doing more gradient glitter placements :) Have a lovely week my friends and I'll catch you in the next post !
