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!)

PICTURE POLISH ENCHANTING & ESCAPADES

Hey guys, so I know it's been a while but today I'm showing you Enchanting by Picture Polish, this is so pretty but it's an actual pain to photograph, so these pictures aren't colour accurate. 

I used 2 coats and then I used a chevron nail vinyl from She Sells Seashells and sponged on Escapades, it didn't quite work out how I wanted but oh well.

CBL GEMINI RISING

Hey guys, life just gets in the way sometimes doesn't it and lately blogging has not been a priority so I haven't got any posts up. 

So tonight I have the beautiful Gemini Rising by Colors By Llarowe, it's such a pretty green and my only holo green! It stains soo bad though, I knew this beforehand though so I wore it over a white polish and it stopped the staining :) 

Then for some reason I added some dodgy clovers lol!

PICTURE POLISH HERCYNIA

Hey guys, hope your enjoying the holidays! So every now and then a polish comes by which causes you to drop everything and blog about it immediately. Today this comes in the form of Hercynia from Picture Polish. I first saw it on Nailderella and gasped, but then I ordered the other collaboration shades and I just thought this one wouldn't suit me so left it out but regretted it immediately and ordered this before Christmas and it finally came today.

It's such a beauty, I can't even, just look at the pictures.  This is 2 coats without topcoat. 

  

Droooooooooool

A PICTURE POLISH CHRISTMAS GRADIENT

Hi everyone, how are all? I've had a stressful day today but I did some Christmas nails a few days ago and I was determined to get them posted before the 25th so we'll see how that goes. (I think I've failed already, ha!) 

So I bought the gorgeous Bridget by Picture Polish a while ago and then the other day the gorgeous Saira sent me Kryptonite as a present, which has been a huge lemming of mine. 

Whilst I was arranging them on my shelf these 2 colours just happened to sit next to each other and I immediately knew I needed to do a Christmas gradient with them, which is what I'm showing you tonight! 

I've done a red and green Christmas gradient before here but this ones is HOLOOO! 

   

LOVE IT!

PISTACHIO NAILS

Hi everyone, how are you all today? Today I decided to make a trip to Sally's and got some amazing polishes, most of which are gifts but I like shopping for gifts so I'm happy :)

Tonight I have some nail art which I did a while ago, I shared a sneak peek on instragram a while ago and I absolutely love these!

This whole design was inspired by the colour Citrus Green* from the Deco Art acrylic paints. The green just reminded me of pistachios and I had to paint them on my nails because that's what normal people do right?!

I used 2 coats of Orly Pure Porcelain as a base colour and them painted on the pistachio kernels first by mixing together white, brown and hint of yellow paints to get the right colour. I then painted in the pistachios using Citrus Green* and Grasshopper Green* acrylic paints by Deco Art. I then outlined everything with black acrylic paint. 

Love it! This is probably the most realistic nail art I've done, realistic nail art is still unfamiliar territory for me and a tad bit frightening so I'm trying it out a slowly.
