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 RAINDROPS & HOLOGRAPHIC PINK DISC GLEQUINS

Hey guys, how are you all? I'm sad the holidays are over : (

Anywho here are the nails I did to cheer me up ! I shared a sneaky peak video on my instagram yesterday so be sure to follow me on there for more sneak peaks and behind the scenes, hehe!

Ok so these holographic pink disc glequins* were amongst the package I was sent from The Glitter Shop and I just knew I wanted to pair them with grey. So I started off with one coat of Essence Got A Secret (my favourite grey) then applied one coat of Illamasqua Raindrops before applying the glequins. I then applied two coats of NYC Turbo Dry Top Coat.  

Urgh, this is so so sparkly and I love this type of glitter so much, actually I think this is my favourite type of glitter I've ever used! I have the same glequins in different colours so I hope your not sick of these yet because there's still more to come : )

You can buy these glequins here, for some reason they're only showing the silver ones at the moment but if you email them I'm sure they'll be happy to help you.

Ok, so I hope you have a good week, I have a lot of studying to do this week so I might not see you until the week after now so take care until then guys! :)

*Some of the products in this post were sent to me for my review. See my disclosure policy for more details

MODELS OWN MIRRORBALLS - STRIPED

How's your weekend been guys, mine has been pretty boring (but sometimes boring is good right) 

So today I have another mani which features all 5 Models Own Mirrorball polishes. 

This is 2 coats of Essence Got a Secret and then I just painted alternate stripes using the different Mirrorballs, I can't remember which polishes I used where but it's a really random pattern so you can just do whatever you want really. 

It was really quite easy to do but the brush on my bottle of Hot Stuff was horrible, wonky and bristles in every direction which did make it a bit difficult. 

So guys enjoy the rest of your Sunday and I'll talk to you again soon : )

MODELS OWN - ALL 5 MIRRORBALLS LAYERED

I'm really sorry guys that I haven't posted in a while, my laptop broke last week and so I've given it to a friend to fix but I have no idea when I'll get it back, so in the meantime I'm using my brother's little netbook which I don't really like and it also means I can't edit my photo's. Anywho today I spent nearly 3 hours editing photo's, I'm still not chuffed with them but it's the best I can do with what I have !

Anyway so this mani is 2 coats of Essence Got a Secret and then 1 coat of each of the 5 mirrorball polishes (Freak Out, Boogie Nights, Hot Stuff, Dancing Queen, Disco Inferno) 

This was a really glittery mani, so blingy! They actually looked like little mirrorballs, I wish I could have taken a picture in the sunlight because it was blinding !

I have yet to use these separately actually, but I'm pretty sure they won't disappoint. Have you guys picked these up yet?

Yep, it's my birthday today, and to be honest I'm feeling my age ! (I'm 19 now, but still it's old for me !)
Anyway's I'm not really doing anything for my birthday, they're not really a big thing for me anymore because for the past 5 years I've always had an exam either on my birthday or like a day after ! So, there wasn't time to celebrate ! loll
Anyways a very quick post to show you my nails, I've been loving the recent new accent nails and wore them a lot a couple of weeks ago and decided to feature it again for my birthday ; )
I used wet and wild  diamond in the rough and then for the pointy and middle finger I did 2 coats of essencegot a secret and 1 coat of milani gems because you can't have birthday nails without lippmann happy birthday (or it's many dupes ; ))

I also remembered I have a pairs of earring that match ditr! 

Anways I'll talk to you all soon : )

STAMPING WEEK - DAY 5 - A COMPLETE SUCCESS

Well this stamping week certainly has been a long one ! But I've saved the best till last and this stamping even though it's not a lot I think it's lovely 
I loooovvveee bows and have wanted this plate for agess, so I ordered it from born pretty but *sob* the images hadn't been properly engraved and wouldn't stamp properly : ( I was sooo upset but I emailed born pretty and their customer service is sooo good, they were incredibly patient and helpful and sent me a replacement of all 5 plates and I'm pleased to say they are all perfect now : ) I had to add that in here because I  wanted to share my experience, they really impressed me : ) 


Warning : Pic heavy 


Anyway remember the gorgeous Bella I got from Ivana, well I had to try it out and it is such a pretty colour I used 2 thin coats and then using essence got a secret I stamped on the bows on my middle finger and thumb, needless to say I loved it, in fact I had this mani on for 4 days ! 

Then I added a coat of Bella over the other fingers and I loved it even more !  

just managed to catch the tiny bit of sunshine left 

I loved this soooo bad,  I was sad to take it off : (  Oh and that's another thing Edward stains big time, I was very lucky that I had enough base coat on but my fingers went green and other nails got stained eurgh, so just a little warning for you guys 

Well what do you think of this guys? Do you love it as much as I did?

STAMPING WEEK - DAY 1 - CHUCK

Yes , I know I was supposed to start this on monday and it's wednesday today, but as I'm sure you all know life has a silly habit of getting in the way !
Anyway like I mentioned before this week is going to be dedicated to stamping, as may know I got my first stamping plates a while ago and atm. absolutely suck at using them but I have not given up so this week your going to get to see some successes and laugh at some of my major fails !
Hope you enjoy it




Ok so a couple of weeks ago on twitter I asked the ladies what polish to wear and they all said Essence Chuck !
Let me tell you this is one of the most beautiful blues I've ever worn, it reminds me of more opaque slightly duller version of opi dating a royal ! Anyway they told me not to do anything else to it but before I took it off I decided to try some stamping and oh how I wished I hadn't !

So today is a fail, her you are you have been warned !


I used essence got a secret for the stamping, oh and I also attempted a french tip on the pinky !

Thankfully there's only 2 pictures, I only took 4 !

Thanks for looking and hopefully I'll see you soon : ) take care
