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 ?

W7 - MOSAIC

So I was going to schedule this post but it wasn't ready ! We've just got back from my cousin's house and I am stuffed : ( I hate the feeling of being too full and try to avoid it as much as possible but it's always difficult at my aunties, it doesn't help she makes enough to feed a small country lol ; ) 

Anyway on to nail business , this is mosaic from w7, it is gorgeous and I'm soo glad I didn't order Pudding Lane from Nails Inc because this is said to be a dead on dupe ! Even if it's not I'm not going to cry about it because it's still pretty : ) 
It's a gorgeous blue with matte darker blue and gold hex glitters, this is only 2 coats and it  has an amazing formula no clumping or being silly or anything like that ; p






Then I decided to mattify it, I had to use 2 coats to get a proper matte finish, I only used one coat on the pointy finger and you can see it's still a bit shiny 




Oh and for some reason it didn't stain any nails where I picked the glitter off but when I used the foil method it stained my nails sooo badly, it won't come out : ( 
So do you guys like it? Do you have it?

Just thought I'd share some of my newest polishes, I haven't bought many polishes for the past 2 months so I was excited to get all these ! : ) 

L-R, Gosh - Green Hawaii, Purple Heart, Avantgarde 

L-R , Models own Black Swirl, Barry M 244, China Glaze VI from the anniversary collection (got this from a friend who was going to throw it out : o )

L-R, Metallic Venus, Moondust (I got this one by accident!), Mosaic, Salt n Pepper 

I've never really paid much attention to w7 before but I couldn't ignore their recent glitters which are amazing btw. I accidentally ordered moondust instead of lava flow but I checked it today and they don't seem to have it  ! I was going to return it but I may keep it, it reminds me Opi's MAAH ! 

Anyway yeah so that's about it ! It's not an awful lot but still I like sharing with you guys lol : ) Anywho I have something cool to show you tomorrow : )

CHANEL ROSE INSOLENT & DIAMOND GRADIENT TIPS ; )

This is a mani from the vault I'm still cooking up my next mani for you guys lol, this mani was from when I  was on a real pink high a while ago and this was waiting in my untrieds 
This was 2 coats,  I think a 3rd may have been needed on some nails, but oh well  
Then I used my new Colour Club Covered In Diamonds (well it was new back then) and brushed some on to make it look like a gradient


It looked awesome in the shade ; )



and here's Rose Insolent on it's own (this picture is the most colour accurate)

I looove covered in diamonds soo bad : ) Do you?

CHINA GLAZE SHOCKING PINK (NEON) TAKE II

Hello everyone, how you all doing? So my most popular post is my original swatch of this insanely bright neon pink  and recently I was feeling in a pink mood and decided to try it out again and hopefully get better photos for you ! 

I did two coats on a white base this time and it was much brighter, but as you all know neons are a pita to photograph ! 
As much as I love this really eye searingly bright pink the formula on this is terrible I didn't have the patience for another coat which is why it doesn't look so good, and this is one day of wear!




Then I decided to add a coat of Essence Carrie (another gorgeous essence topper !) 







I hope your retina's are still in tact after that blast of neon ! I have some nail art in mind which I'll hopefully get round to doing tonight so I can show you tomorrow  : )

CHINA GLAZE LOVE MARILYN & A REQUEST

Hi everyone, ok I have a small request for all you lovely readers today, I have been lemming Sally hansen Amber Ruby for the longest time and thought I'd be satisfied with the recent Ludurana I got, while it is a gorgeous polish I still need Amber Ruby, so if anyone has a spare bottle that they're willing to sell, swap or donate please leave a comment or drop me an email. 

Anyways this swatch is actually from a while go ! I don't really have much to say about this other than it being one of my biggest lemmings a while ago mainly because I love the look of the layered red and silver glitter which peeks out ! 


from far it also looks like it has tiny black glitters here too ; )





look at those red sparkles ! gorgeous : ) 


I've really been lacking nailspiration recently, if anyone has any requests or ideas please leave me a comment 
do you guys have this ? is it one of your favourites?
