TRIBAL NINJA NAILS

Hi guys, hope you had a nice Monday, for this mani I was lacking inspiration and so just sat and stared at the polishes on my table for ages and I ended up with this! 

I was inspired by a design I saw on Instagram somewhere, unfortunately I can't remember where, sorry! 

So I did two coats of Collection 2000 Ninja and then used black and white acrylic paint for the rest of the design, I'm not sure if Ninja is still available, I got mine years ago!

It's a really simple and easy design to do but looks so cool I think! Let me know if you want a tutorial for this design!

ANGELICA PRE FALL COLLECTION

Hey guys, this weekend has gone by so fast! 

So today I have a lovely collection from Angelica Nail Colour to show you.

 I received these a while ago actually and swatched them within the week but then the post kind of got lost in my drafts but anyways this is the Pre Fall Collection, this is a new concept to me and I actually really love the idea and I can see it catching on, this is what Angelica have to say about this collection: 

'We're not ready to let go of our Summer nails yet at Angelica, so we've launched a late Summer collection full of on-trend shades to carry you through from your Summer to Autumn'

See all the pictures after the break

HOLOGRAPHIC BRUSHSTROKE BUTTERFLY WING NAILS

Tgif right? I'm so tired today, it's been a crazy week! 

So for these nails I used some of the holographic polishes from the China Glaze OMG Collection. I used OMG, L8R G8R, DV8, QT, LOL, 2NITE for the brushstroke pattern on all the nails, it was rather subtle especially in the sun when the holographicness was showing. 

I then used some black acrylic paint to paint on the wings and did some small white dots. I didn't apply topcoat because I liked the mate effect overall and the topcoat would have dulled the holographicness!

Right, so what do you think of that then?

MIDDLE MAN GRADIENT

Happy Tuesday guys, hope your all ok, I hope your not sick of gradients yet because I have another one for you today! 

I've been experimenting with different types of gradient and this is the latest result, For this I used Barry M Gelly Plum and Essence Let's Get Lost and a sponge, but this time instead of just painting on two stripes of  polish onto the sponge I started with a purple stripe at the top and then a line of blue and below that the purple again. 

It was a bit tricky positioning the gradient so it was central to the nail so I applied one coat of Maybelline Polka Dots Chalk Dust to hide some of the imperfections. 

So I think this is my last gradient for a while guys! I'll see you in my next post :)

RED & PURPLE GRADIENT NAILS

Hi guys, how was your Monday? Mine was tiring but good :) 

Anywho I have another gradient to share with you today, this time I used Kiko 238 and Essence Breakthrough, I then topped it off with one of my favourite glitters toppers, OPI Which is Witch?

The end result looked messy to me so I didn't keep it on for long!

BLUE & PURPLE GRADIENT & GOLDEN ROSE

Hi guys, I've had such a chilled day today, I haven't bought any nail polish in like three months but today I ended up ordering some Illamasqua polishes! 

Anyway today I have another mani from the vault, I really like gradient and so did another one here using Barry M Gelly Plum and Essence Let's Get Lost, for the middle two fingers I reversed the gradient before topping it all off with one coat of Golden Rose Jolly Jewels 123. 

The pictures are a bit misty here for some reason, sorry!

So that's all for today folks, enjoy the rest of the weekend and I'll see you in the next post

NEON HEART NAILS

Hi guys, how was your week? I'm really sorry for leaving you guys all week but I've been really tired all week because I've have 6am starts all week and that is something completely new to me!

Anywho these nails were inspired by Nory's post here, but instead I just used a white base and then dotted on the hearts, before adding a layer of topcoat. It was really simple to do and looked quite cute too :)

i used various China Glaze neon polishes for the hearts, if you want to know any of the colours leave a comment and I'll let you know

RAINBOW DISCO GLEQUIN NAILS

Hi guys, sometimes I wish I could share more with you guys but unfortunately for complicated reasons I can't :( 

Anyway today I have something awesome to share with you, I was inspired by the accent nail on this mani by the lovely Angelique. In fact that was the mani which made me buy the round glequins. 

Anywho call me crazy but I decided to do the design on all my nails and I loved it! In fact everyone who saw my nails said they loved it too and they didn't even take that long to do, only about an hour which really isn't bad when your applying every piece of glitter individually.

HALF & HALF

How are you guys enjoying your weekend? 

So today this is what I have to show you, to do this nail design I started off with 2 coats of OPI Can't Find My Czechbook, when that was dry I used striping tape down the middle of the nail and painted the other half of the nail with OPI Suzi's Hungary Again and then because my circle glequins were staring at me on my desk I decided to use the white ones down the middle of the nail. 

I'm not entirely sure if I like this design or if the colours work together? What do you guys think yay or nay?

ILLAMASQUA PINK RAINDROPS

Hi my loves, how are you all doing? I just have a very quick swatch for you today !

I loved the original raindrops and was a bit disappointed with it, not because it wasn't pretty but because it wasn't like the original, it's not a jelly and this also it has some pink shimmer in it !

My pictures show 2 coats of Pink Raindrops

Did you buy this? How did you like it ?

CIRCLE GLEQUIN FLOWERS !

Hey guys, hope your all well! I've been playing with the circle glequins again and I ended up creating this design. 

I started off with 2 coats of Illamasaqua Load and I then used the circle glequins to create the flowers, I then used some green acrylic paint to draw on the rest of the detail.

 

Hehe, I must say this was a really simple design but it was so cute ! hehe :)

 Take Care Lovelies and I'll see you in the next post!
