BLACK & GOLD SKITTLES NAILS

I very rarely do skittle nails. mainly because I don't have enough ideas for 5 different nails

Well this mani started with Mac Nocturnelle and  gold holographic striping tape (which is really fiddly and lost all holoness and some of it's colour with topcoat) which I applied in a criss cross way on my pointy finger and because that nail alone took like 10 mins, I decided to use the bullion beads on my desk for my middle finger and then I used Barry M gold foil to stamp the necklaces and used Milani Gold Gems to create a shiny gemstone on the necklace and then once I'd sat for 10 minutes clueless as to what do on my pinky I did a gradient with milani gems ! 

Well that's a right tale, I hope you like the final effect, I do : )

BUTTER LONDON BLAGGER & MILANI GOLD GEMS GRADIENT

Oh, how I loved this mani, bold glittery and just gorgeous : ) 

This is one coat of Butter London Blagger, a true blue creme which only needs  coat to reach opacity (I used two ! ) The formula was a bit thick but manageable ! 

Then on the tips I used Milani jewel fx gold and instead of sponging I just used the brush to push the glitter around ! : )

I just managed to get a little bit of sun : )

Gorgeous, right?

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY

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 2 - CYBERSPACE

Oh gosh, I'm sorry ladies for this late post again ! 
Anyway day 2 is milani cyberspace with a random black polish 


This isn't very good, but I wouldn't call it a fail, nor a success ! 

 

blurry to show the holoness and the gorgeousness of cyberspace 

my favourite was the ring finger, I love that necklace stamp soooo bad ! 

What do you ladies think of this mani then ?

SUNSHINE

Woow, thankyou for all the lovely comments on my last post, I am thinking of doing a tutorial for you, if you want?
Anyway seeing as mother nature is hiding the sun from us, I decided to wear some sun on my nails in the form of essie shorty pants !
I've mentioned before that I'm not a big fan of yellow polish, but I think it was a case of finding the right yellow polish, because I love this polish, I've worn it 3 times already and thinking of getting a backup !
Anyway I also wanted to try out my milani jewel fx in gold which I got from Karen so I used them for the accent nails
Needless to say I got a tonne of comments on these nails at school ! hehe !
