CIATE MOSAIC COLLECTION SWATCHES *VERY PIC HEAVY*

Happy Friday guys, how has your week been? Today I have a big post for you today. When I saw the Ciate Mosaic collection I got really excited and ordered the whole collection (which is quite unlike me) I hadn't seen any good swatches of these anywhere so I couldn't make a decision about which ones to get!

I swatched these a while ago but it's taken me ages to get this post together, blogging is not easy! 

These are the first Ciate polishes I've bought since the whole Caviar drama a few years ago and whilst they're by no means one of my favourite brands these are some nice nail polishes. 

There are loads of pictures so click on the read more to see my swatches and review.

MORGAN TAYLOR ALL THE RIGHT MOVES

Hey guys, today I have another beautiful Morgan Taylor nail polish to show you. 

This is All The Right Moves, it's a blue/purple jelly base with purple square glitter and purple hex glitter. It's really beautiful and the formula is perfect. I only needed 2 coats and one coat of top coat.

Have you tried Morgan Taylor polishes yet?

EASY & QUICK GLEQUIN NAILS

Hey guys, how are you all doing? Recently when some friends came up to stay, my friend asked me to some glitter placement skittle nails, this design was on one of the nails and I just thought it was so beautiful so I had to recreate it on myself. 

I started with 2 coats of Essie Penny Talk and then used these red, blue and gold square glequins before applying a generous layer of topcoat. 

Apologies for only one picture here, for some reason my skin was a really weird colour on all the pictures and it was too distracting!

This is so simple and easy to do and it only takes 10 extra minutes to do all your nails so I would definitely recommend you try this out when you get a chance!

TEAL & HOLO RED CHECKERBOARD GLITTER PLACEMENT NAILS

Hey everyone, hope your all having a lovely week :) 

I had a lovely day today, I went to watch Frozen and it was really good, have you seen it? Well, my next manicure will have to be Olaf nails now, haha!

Ok, so onto todays nails, I bought some square glitter from ebay back at Christmas and it was a huge disappointment when I finally got them, but included in this set was a pot of these red holographic rectangles squares and I decided to use them with Illamasqua Muse. 

I applied two coats of Muse and then placed the glitter in a checkerboard pattern before applying two coats of topcoat to smooth it all out. I love this colour combination! 

The glequins weren't all the same size or shape which was really frustrating but from a normal distance you can't tell and it looks awesome !

SIMPLE, EASY & QUICK GLEQUIN NAILS & REVIEW, TUTORIAL & DISCOUNT CODE FOR VIVA LA NAILS

Hi guys, long title! If you follow me on instagram you know that I shared a sneaky peak of a gorgeous polish yesterday which I said I'd show you today but I completely forgot that this was still waiting to be posted, so you'll have to wait until tomorrow to see that!

Ok, so I recently got some square glequins and other bits from Viva La Nails to review and here's one of the designs I created with them. I was particularly interested in the square glitter because you guys know I've been on a quest to find the perfect square glitter and their pictures looked promising!

So I receive the blue, pink, red and gold holographic squares, these are on the small size which is why I didn't do a full glitter placement with them because I wanted to create something that was easy and quick for you guys to recreate,  I think they're 1mm.

 I started off with two coats of OPI Sweetheart and then I applied the glequins, I have a tutorial for you later in the post so be sure to click the read more button.

HIP QUEENS WEAR SQUARE PINK GLITTER

*this is a scheduled post* 

Another layering combo for you today (I've really been loving these glitter layering combinations lately). So for this I started with 2 coats of Catrice Hip Queens Wear Blue Jeans (I love it, it have gorgeous shimmer/glitter in the bottle which doesn't really translate onto the nail!) Then I applied one of coat of Essence twins Carrie (I think, I'll have to double check) Aah I loved this mani and it wasn't because it was square glitter *wink* *wink*

Gorgeous blue glitter/shimmer in the bottle which doesn't really translate onto the nails ! 

So do you guys like this one?

STAMPING WEEK - DAY 5 - A COMPLETE SUCCESS

Well this stamping week certainly has been a long one ! But I've saved the best till last and this stamping even though it's not a lot I think it's lovely 
I loooovvveee bows and have wanted this plate for agess, so I ordered it from born pretty but *sob* the images hadn't been properly engraved and wouldn't stamp properly : ( I was sooo upset but I emailed born pretty and their customer service is sooo good, they were incredibly patient and helpful and sent me a replacement of all 5 plates and I'm pleased to say they are all perfect now : ) I had to add that in here because I  wanted to share my experience, they really impressed me : ) 


Warning : Pic heavy 


Anyway remember the gorgeous Bella I got from Ivana, well I had to try it out and it is such a pretty colour I used 2 thin coats and then using essence got a secret I stamped on the bows on my middle finger and thumb, needless to say I loved it, in fact I had this mani on for 4 days ! 

Then I added a coat of Bella over the other fingers and I loved it even more !  

just managed to catch the tiny bit of sunshine left 

I loved this soooo bad,  I was sad to take it off : (  Oh and that's another thing Edward stains big time, I was very lucky that I had enough base coat on but my fingers went green and other nails got stained eurgh, so just a little warning for you guys 

Well what do you think of this guys? Do you love it as much as I did?
