PICTURE POLISH ENCHANTING & ESCAPADES

Hey guys, so I know it's been a while but today I'm showing you Enchanting by Picture Polish, this is so pretty but it's an actual pain to photograph, so these pictures aren't colour accurate. 

I used 2 coats and then I used a chevron nail vinyl from She Sells Seashells and sponged on Escapades, it didn't quite work out how I wanted but oh well.

THE BODY SHOP CRAZY FOR BLUE NEGATIVE SPACE CHEVRONS

Hey guys, I hope your having a good weekend. My parents are going away for 2 weeks tomorrow so I'm left in charge of the house and my brothers, I don't have anything planned so I'm hoping I can paint my nails a lot. 

Tonight I have for you my first negative space mani, I haven't done this before I wasn't sure I liked it but I decided to try it out quickly one night before bed for uni the next and I really liked how it came out and made my short nails look longer. 

For these I just have one coat of base coat and then I used the single chevron nail vinyls from She Sells Seashells and painted the rest of the nail with The Body Shop Colour Crush polish in Crazy For Blue* which is a gorgeous navy colour. I didn't top coat these because I didn't have time, so you can see the imperfections.

I just love the new The Body Shop polishes, they really are so amazing and they look so lovely, they would make the most perfect Christmas present if your looking for a last minute gift!

RAINBOW CHEVRON NAIL VINYL TUTORIAL

Happy Saturday, how are you all?

Today I have another tutorial for you :) This is for the rainbow chevron nail art I posted yesterday. It's really easy to do but you just need a little bit of patience, so let's get cracking !

It's a little difficult to explain so I'd recommend looking at the pictures as they help explain the whole process.  

What you will need:

Base Coat

7 different coloured nail polishes (one's missing from the picture) I'm using the entire OPI Neon collection and Morgan Taylor Making Waves

Chevron Nail Vinyls, I'm using these from She Sells Seashells 

Tweezers 

Quick dry top coat (or regular top coat and a fair bit of patience) 

STEP 1 - Starting at the cuticle, paint 1/3 of your nail with the colour you want to be second in your overall design. (For a rainbow I'm doing orange first) It doesn't have to be neat 

STEP 2 - Paint the middle 2/3 of the nail with the colour you want to be 4th in your overall design. 

Paint the remaining top 1/3 of your nail with the colour you want to be 6th in your overall design. 

Then apply fast dry top coat

STEP 3 - Once it's all properly dry apply one chevron vinyl on top of each different colour like so

STEP 4 - Use your first and 3rd colour and paint either side of the vinyl.  

STEP 5 - Immediately remove the first vinyl to get a clean edge and the paint the other side of the 2nd vinyl like so  

STEP 6 - Immediately remove the 2nd nail vinyl and paint the other side of the final nail vinyl.  

STEP 7 - Immediately remove the final vinyl, wait a few minutes for the polish to dry and apply topcoat and you are done! 

Let me know if you try this out, feel free to email me a link or tweet me or share on instagram :)

OPI NEON RAINBOW CHEVRON NAILS

Hi guys, Happy Friday! We have a bank holiday weekend here in the UK which is lovely, I don't actually have any plans other than good food and good company! Do any of you have exciting plans? 

So I've seen these type of rainbow chevron nails on instagram and I knew I had to give them ago. For these I used the skinny chevron nail vinyls in this Variety pack from She Sells Seashells. I used all the polishes from the OPI Neon collection from this summer. The blue however was Morgan Taylor Making Waves. 

I have a tutorial on these and that'll probably be up tomorrow.

PLAYBOY NAILS

Hey guys, sorry for no post. I haven't had much time on the computer recently; the weekend should have been spent on moving rooms but Saturday and 70% of Sunday was spent cooking, eating and shopping! As a result I've spent this week sorting and tidying and moving a heck of a lot of stuff I can't even remember purchasing! 

Anyways recently I was sent some Playboy nail polishes to review. I haven't tried Playboy nail polishes before and haven't really heard a lot about them so I was intrigued. The colours I received are the colours you'd probably associate with Playboy, ie. very pink, gold and of course glitter! 

I got Hot Violet* which is a purple toned neon pink which is actually a unique colour in my stash! It applies beautifully and covers in 2 lovely coats. The other colour I got was Billionaire* which looks like a plain gold glitter in the bottle however when I swatched this I realised it actually contains gold flakes too which again makes the nail polish unique in my stash. 

I decided to use both colours in a glitter gradient, which I haven't done in a while, I started with 2 coats of Hot Violet on all the nails and then used Billionaire to do the gradient starting from the tips (I have a tutorial here if you want to see how I do my glitter gradients). On my ring finger I used these Chevron Nail Vinyls from She Sells Seashells. 

  These are actually quite beautiful nail polishes which I think often get overlooked. You can buy these online in many different places for roughly £2.50 - £4.00 depending on where you look, so these are definitely affordable and worth the money. 

Have you tried Playboy nail polish before?

ESSENCE NAUGHTY AND PINK 107 CHEVRON NAILS

Hey guys, so do you remember about a month ago I mentioned going to an Essence bloggers launch event? Prior to this event I went down to London for a little nail girl meetup and we stopped by the newly opened Essence kiosk in Westfields and of course, we all bought quite a few things! The following week I visited the new Essence kiosk in the Manchester Arndale Centre and picked up a few more things from there which included the nail polish I'm showing you today! The following weekend I went to the Bloggers Event and had such a great time, I did take pictures on my phone which I shared on my twitter and instagram so be sure to follow me on there to see. At the event we got a really big goody bag and then were told we could take anything which took our fancy! Needless to say I got lots of nail goodies from there too. I've been busy for the past 4 days swatching and doing lots of nail art with them so I will be sharing all of those soon! 

Phew! aand take a breath, are you still with me?

 Ok so for these nails I started with 2 coats of OPI My Vampire is Buff on all my fingers except the ring finger where I applied 2 coats of Essence Naughty and Pink 107. When the OPI was dry I applied these chevron nail vinyls from She Sells Seashells and painted on one coat of the Essence and whilst it was still wet I peeled off the vinyl and then added top coat. On my ring finger I added this cute little mermaid embellishment which is also from She Sells Seashells. 

Just wanted to say the Essence pink isn't as bright as it looks in these pictures but it's still pretty awesome!

Wow, if your still with me you deserve a medal!
