OPI GERMANICURE BY OPI & PURE ICE HEARTBREAKER

Hey guys, hope your having a lovely weekend :)

Ok, so today I spent the day editing loads of photos and sorting out my drafts etc and I found this post which I should have posted months ago but somehow got forgotten about so here it is for you today :)

For these I did two coats of OPI Germanicure By OPI and then applied one coat of Pure Ice Heart Breaker. It didn't turn out like I thought it would in my head mainly because the shimmer in Heart breaker is bigger than in the OPI and so it just doesn't look right, what do you think?

GLISTENING SNOW

Hi guys, how are you all, did you have a lovely weekend? I've done pretty much nothing all day, but I spent the whole of Saturday painting swatch sticks ! 

Anyways so here is a mani I did a while ago, hope you like it !

The base coat is 2 coats of China Glaze Glistening Snow. When I first saw this polish I though meh and passed on it and then I don't know what happened but I got a huge lemming for this polish, like seriously, I NEEDED it ! Thankfully I found it on sale in the gift set :D 

Then I stamped over it with Pure Ice French Kiss with the Spongeboby flowers on the CH-14 plate from the Cheeky Vibrant Collection! 

Unfortunately, I couldn't take any photo's in the sun but trust me this was insanely holographic !

POLISH DAYS - NATURE

Welcome to another Polish Days mani ! 

Today's theme was nature and this was again a very much last minute thing ! I wasn't really sure what to do for this one, but last night I got the idea to do this really simple, basic world from space kind of design! 

It's kind of more abstract than a real repsentation lol ! 

Anyways so for this I painted on one coat of Kiko 340 and the I sponged on little bits of Pure Ice French Kiss and Catrice Blue Cara Ciao. When that was dry I used a dotting tool and some green acrylic paint to freehand these random shapes and voila ! 

So I'm looking forward to checking out everybody's ideas :)

MY SPIDEY SENSE IS TINGLING ! (SPIDERMAN NAILS)

Hi guys, sorry it's been a few days since my last post ! Anywho we went to watch The Amazing Spiderman today and I just had to do these nails when I got home, now I did this mani (inspired by the awesome Sammy) very quickly because I was short on time and so it's not very good  : / 

 I painted one coat of an old red Maybelline and then I sponged on Pure Ice French Kiss and then I used Barry M Silver foil to draw on the rubbish webs and then I painted on the spider ! 

As a bonus I thought I'd show you my new coat which I looooovvvvveeeee !

Have you guys seen The Amazing spiderman? did you like it or this mani?

Anyways I'll talk to you guys soon so take care,  toodles  : )

SPONGY GOLDEN TIPS

hi ladies, sorry it's been a while since my last post but i've just been sooo tired : ( 
i haven't had any time to do any nail art at all, it's just been plain polish for a while now but i'm loving it, i think it's nice to see a solid, clean pretty colour sometimes. 


i started off with this gorgeous rich blue, this is pure ice french kiss, beautiful rich opaque blue, the only thing about this was it was slightly thick, but manageable. I wore this plain for about 2 days just before i took it off i decided to see what it'd look like with orly glitz and glamour 

what do you think, i did this pretty quick so the sponging is nowhere near perfect , but i quite liked this combo
