OPI KISS ME AT MIDNIGHT

Hey guys, I'm so happy it's Friday :) My brain is feeling a little cluttered right now which I think may be something to do with the fact that my room and wardrobe and shoe closet is a mess, some major organising is required me thinks!

So when the OPI Christmas 2013 collection came out I was really excited when I saw swatches of Kiss Me At Midnight and the numerous descriptions which likened the colour to Nails Inc Bakers Street. When I went to pick this up in store it didn't look promising but I thought it would dry brighter and bluer and well it didn't and so this did let me down :( I'd describe this as more of a periwinkle blue colour. 

However this is still a lovely polish, you guys know I don't like texture so when I wear this it'll be drowned in at least 3 layers of topcoat!

Here I've applied 1 coat of Gelous and 1 coat of Essence Better Than Gel Sealer. 

So that's the end of todays post, I will hopefully see you tomorrow with a clutter free mind and room ;) Enjoy your Friday night guys

MATTE PERIWINKLE GLEQUIN TIPS

Hey guys, what are your plans for this weekend? I don't really any plans this weekend, I just have lots of work to do and nails to paint!

Ok, so today is another design I came up with using some gorgeous matte, periwinkle glequins* I received from The Glitter Shop. I decided to use them with Essie Bangle Jangle and used them at the tips to make a triangle shape thingy. 

They make me think of a grandma jumper, haha! But I like them none the less. 

The glequins are again of the great quality I've come to expect from The Glitter Shop and I really like this colour pairing too. You can buy these glequins from their eBay store here. 

*These products were sent to me for my honest review. See my disclosure policy for more details

GEL PEN PAISLEY NAIL ART

Hope you all had a lovely Saturday! A little while ago I went in to Asda and saw a big pack of 18 gel pens for £1 so I bought them and decided to try some nail art with them like I'd seen Alice do. I wasn't sure if it would work but it did! 

So for this I started off with two coats of Essence Absolutely Blue and then used the glittery purple and blue gel pen to draw on the rest of the details, I had to wait about 3 minutes just to let it dry a little bit and then used a thick layer of topcoat, trying not to smudge the design. 

I'm not crazy about how it looks but I don't dislike it.

Ok, have you tried gel pens for nail art?

ILLAMASQUA FORCE & SQUARE GLEQUINS

 *this is a scheduled post* 

Hola my friends, how are you all? When I googled Illamasqua Force, the majority of the swatches showed and amazing bright blue! So when I actually got it I was disappointed, it's not actually bright blue, it's a periwinkle blue which leans towards purple quite a bit. 

It's still a gorgeous colour but  not what I was expecting! 

Anyway I also recently ordered some square glequins and they were incredibly disappointing, they aren't square, there are rectangular, uneven and irregular. I made this design thing on all the nails here but it ended up looking like a hot mess. I applied a matte topcoat to try and make it look better but it didn't really help. 

If anyone knows where I can get some good square glequins from please let me know!

DOTTED FRAMES

Hi guys, this post wasn't meant to be so late ! Sorry we have been crazy busy since Friday, Saturday we went to a family friends house and got home at 2am , then Sunday we went to a different friends house and got home at midnight, and today we had some family friends round ours and we've spend the whole day cooking and cleaning and so I haven't really had time to post ! I was supposed to show you w7 Salt n pepper today but I haven't edited the photo's yet and I'm feeling too tired to do it now! Anyway onto nail stuff now 

I'm rather a fan of framed nails, I like doing them more than wearing them, lol  ; ) So for this I used Dim Sum Plum from Opi and dotted on the frames they aren't as neat as I'd wanted but they look a lot better irl than in the photos :  ) 

I know some people don't like framed nails but what do you guys think about this ?
