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!

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!!

CBL LITTLE RED CORVETTE WITH LACE NAIL ART

Hi everyone, how was your weekend? I spent mine shopping for my friends wedding which is less than 2 weeks away, eek! I now have a choc a block week filled with a tonne of work, I hope your week is somewhat more exciting than mine! 

Ever since I saw Sarah wearing CBL Little Red Corvette I knew I needed it but when you take shipping from Llarowe into consideration it gets a bit expensive so I never ended up getting it but it cropped up for sale on Facebook a while ago so I had to get it along with Seeing Spots which you will see in my next post :)

So this is such a beautiful nail polish but I wanted to add some lace nail art to make the nails look just a bit more special. I used black acrylic paint for the design. The polish is much more holo than it looks here but my lighting isn't the best for capturing holo polishes.

ILLAMASQUA RUTHLESS SWIRLS

Hey peeps, I'm so sorry for not posting in a week but university is just so busy at the moment! But to redeem myself today I have an amazing acrylic paint review to share with you! 

You can read this post to find out more about the paints I received any my overall thoughts. 

Today I'm going to give you more details about the silver shade I got. I hadn't seen metallic acrylic paints around before and ended up getting some from the Pound Shop however the opacity was dreadful and so I won't be able to use it, this left me intrigued about the silver acrylic paint I received. I wasn't sure what to expect but I was blown away! This paint is amazing, opaque with just one coat and just the perfect formula which is why I can do the following design with it! This is in the shade Silver Morning  and you get this from Art Discount here for only £1.30 and let me tell you, it's worth every penny!

To do the nails I started off with 2 coats of Illamasqua Ruthless and then painted on the swirly design which I think I saw on Nail Lacquer UK instagram. To tie the design in with the rest of nails I used China Glaze Fairy Dust on the rest of the nails.

VAMPIRE LIPS NAIL VINYL HALLOWEEN NAILS

Hey guys, how was your Monday? Mine was long but I have a late start tomorrow, yaay! 

Tonight I have another Halloween nail design to share with you using the vampire lips nail vinyls from She Sells Seashells. I painted all my nails with w7 Black and then applied the vinyls on the tips of the nails and used red acrylic paint to paint on the 'blood drips' on the accent nail before applying topcoat.

THE FLASH NAILS FOR HALLOWEEN?

Hey guys, Happy October, can you believe it's come so fast? Anyway Halloween is at the end of the month and so I will be posting Halloween manicures throughout the month which are really easy to recreate because they're all done using the amazing Halloween nail vinyls from She Sells Seashells. 

So to kick off the month I'm posting my first Halloween nail design which is really not at all scary in any way, shape or form! So why is this a Halloween design? Well, if you've seen The Big Bang Theory, which most of you probably have, then you may remember Penny's Halloween party for which Sheldon, Raj, Howard and Leonard all dressed up as The Flash, lol! So that is why I class this as a Halloween design!  

To do these I painted my nails with OPI Big Apple Red and then used white acrylic paint to paint on the circle in the middle of the accent nail and two stripes at the tips of the nails. I then applied one of these gold lightning bolt vinyls from She Sells Seashells before top coating to complete the look.

RASTA GRADIENT NAILS USING ESSENCE!

Hi guys, how was your Monday? Tonight I have a super fun and bright mani to share with you! 

This reminds of the Jamaican Rasta colours and I love it! I saw a gradient with these colours on instagram and made a mental note to try out the colour combo.

I used all Essence colours for the gradient from the cuticle to the tip I used Essence 170 Beijos De Brazil, 137 Wanna Be Your Sunshine*, 145 Flashy Pumpkin, 115 Redvolution* and 114 Femme Fatal*. 

I ended up with a bit of bald patched on my ring finger which is more obvious in the pictures than in real life. I still love it though and what makes a gradient even better? Black and white glitter :) So of course I added one coat of Lynnderella Connect the Dots (new version) which was a bit too dense and covered up more of the gradient than I would have liked but it's all gooood ;) 

  

And here's a few bonus pictures of the gradient without the glitter.

SEPHORA X VOLTAGE

Happy Sunday, well it'll be Monday soon but better late than never!

On my parents latest visit to Europe I asked them to pick up some of the gorgeous Superwatts polishes from Sephora and I was so excited to get them! I'll be showing you the 3 I got over the next couple of days. 

Today I have Voltage which looks red in the bottle but it is quite sheer so looks more pink on the nail. I had to use 3 coats but it looks so pretty! 

The brush on these polishes though is quite thin and you need to make sure you load your brush with enough polish otherwise you'll be there forever!

Super pretty !
