HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Hey everyone, this year I'm only bringing you one halloween design. I saw this design on instagram and immediately felt inspired to recreate it, I actually love the purple gradient more than anything else!

So for the gradient I used Barry M Gelly in Prickly Pear, OPI Bouquet of Violets and Barry M Gelly Plum. I painted all the details with black acrylic paint, except the yellow is Essie Shorty Pants.

WHERE HAVE I BEEN???!!

Hi guys, where have I been? Long story short, I've been very busy, I've lost my blogging mojo and my love of polish, I've only painted my nails 3 times this year! :o

So I have some stuff sat in my folder which I will be posting over the next God only knows how long and a few things which I need to review which you'll see soon too. 

In the meantime here is OPI I Carol About You topped with Comet In The Sky and Globetrotter.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!

Hello all my beautiful readers, HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope you all had a good 2014 and I wish you an even better 2015. I hope I'll still be blogging this time next year but I'm not sure if I will, fingers crossed. 

So if you've been following my blog for a few years you'll know that at the beginning of every year I do paint my nails with 2 coats of OPI Bring On The Bling and using black acrylic paint I paint the year on my nails and this year was no exception. Also for this year I've made a little collage to show you and me how far this blog and my skills have come along! Looking back, I'm pleased with my progress and think I've come quite far.

and because this year I have a schmany fancy camera and macro lens here's a macro shot :)

BARRY M FALL GRADIENT

Hi guys, sorry for the absence. Unfortunately I feel like I'm losing my polishing mojo which makes me sad, I haven't done my nails properly since starting uni again and it hasn't really bothered me. I'm often just too tired to sit and do my nails and I haven't really missed it, I won't lie. I'm hoping this is just a phase and I snap out of it because this blog and nail polish has bought me so much happiness and got me through some really dark times and not to mention I've invested a lot on my collection! 

 So today I have yet another gradient mani using the Barry M Gelly winter polishes. I saw a very similar gradient by Coewless Nails on instagram and when I had the Barry M's in front of me and knew I had to try it out for myself. I used Mustard and Paprika for the gradient and then topped it off with OPI The Man With The Golden Gun for a more 'fall' look. 

I'm really happy with the way it turned out and just think it screams autumn and yes I know we're in winter now ;P

NUDE & NEON HALF MOON NAIL ART

Hello everyone, how are you all tonight? 

I have some half moon nail art for you all, I used OPI San Tan Tonio as my nude base colour and then I painted a half moon using Morgan Taylor Making Waves, once that was dry I used black acrylic paint to paint on the details over the half moon. 

I loved the contrast between the bright blue and the nude.

CBL SEEING SPOTS WITH MY FAVOURITE GRADIENT !

Hi guys, today I have some of my favourite type of nails, a gradient with black and white glitter!

I don't think I have ever done a purple and red gradient before and God only knows why becuase it's one of my favourite colour combinations. 

For these nails then I use OPI The Thrill of Brazil, Illamasqua Grab and OPI Funky Dunkey. I then topped the gradient with Seeing Spots by Colors By Llarowe. This is one of my new favourite white and black glitter toppers, I love it!!

Tonight I have yet more halloween nails to share with you! For these nails I did 2 coats of Illamasqua Creator which reminded me off the night sky, once it was dry I used these witch hat nail vinyls from She Sells Seashells and OPI Funky Dunkey to paint over the vinyls.

HALLOWEEN SPIDER WEB NAIL VINYLS

Hi guys, more halloween nail art today! 

These nails were really simple and easy to do, all I did was paint on two coats of OPI Push and Shove and once that was dry I used the spiderweb nail vinyls from She Sells Seashells and painted over the top using Angelica black nail polish* and peeled off the vinyl and ta da! I love spiderweb design but very rarely do them because they're time consuming and fiddly but these vinyls make it so easy and quick!

LIGHTNING NAILS

Hey guys, happy Wednesday!

So I actually did these nails on my nubs but they never made it to the blog because I just didn't think they looked right! But I loved the design so recreated them on my longer nails! 

To do these nails I did a black and dark blue gradient on all the nails using Angelica nails in Black* (I can't remember the name, sorry) and Nails Inc Motcomb Street at the tips. I then added one coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust on all the nails to make the nails look like the night sky. For the feature nail I used a sponge and painted pink (Playboy Hot Violet*) in the middle and a circle of purple (OPI Funky Dunkey) around it, so kind of like a circular gradient, and sponged this onto the nail. and just to finish it off I added a silver lightning nail vinyl from She Sells Seashells which you can get here.
