THE BODY SHOP WHITE LACE STAMPING

Hey guys, today I've got the gorgeous The Body Shop Colour Crush nail polish in Mint Cream* and I know it's nowhere near spring yet but this would be gorgeous for spring time. 

I used 2 coats and they applied nicely like all the other Colour Crush polishes and I didn't use topcoat in the plain swatch, it was already really shiny ! 

I then used this lace stamping plate* from Born Pretty Store and this stamper* on the middle finger and the pinky I used a chevron nail vinyl.  I love how delicate this looks in the end

(please excuse the cut on my pinky, this was done whilst assembling a matrix band! ouch)

LACE NAILS!

Hi everyone, I hope you're all enjoying the holidays, it's nearly the end though isn't it! 

So today I have some stamping nails to share with you, I am obsessed with lace nails and they are tricky to do freehand, well for me anyway. So I am very excited about this lace stamping plate* from Born Pretty Store and this stamper*. 

For these nails I just wanted classic lace nails so I used Barry M Gelly in Coconut for the base colour and then w7 Black for the stamping. This plate is awesome, the designs are pretty, well engraved and just easy to use. This was also my first time using a 'squishy' stamper and it's amazing, honestly this just makes stamping so easy I want to crack out all my plates and stamp over everything!  I highly recommend 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.

ESSENCE CANDY LOVE LACE NAILS

Hey guys, how are you all? How's your day been? I think I'm becoming ill yet again, this is so weird because I'm normally never ill or if I am it's only once a year but this year in the past 3 months this is the 3rd time I'm becoming ill :( 

Anywho I have recently been infatuated with lace nails and since I discovered I can actually paint something on my nails which resembles lace, it's all I've been doing! 

So for these nails I used this gorgeous Essence polish in Candy Love* and then used black acrylic paint to paint on the detail on my ring finger.

W7 PISTACHIO LACE NAILS

Happy Sunday! Well, here in England we've had a bit of a storm so it's been a gloomy day but we had a lovely dinner again today and I'm happy to be ending the day with a cup of tea, Only Fools and Horses and blogging :) 

So today I have a very pretty nail polish to share with you and some very pretty nail art too. I 've been obsessed with lace nails but always have to freehand them because I don't any stamping plates with a lace design. For these nails I started with 2 coats of W7 Pistachio* which is part of the Summer Sorbet collection from W7. I'm a big fan of W7, their black and white is a staple in my collection and I love their Galaxy collection but I haven't tried out any of their cremes in a while. This is a lovely minty colour which isn't very unique but still gorgeous and I expected the formula to be nice but the formula was just a bit off with this, it's nothing major though. I did get some bubbling though which was probably my fault because it was super hot in my room when I swatched this. 

I then did a glitter gradient with Dance Legend Argus and drew on this lacey design which I copied from Creatinails on instagram.

LACE NAILS WITH VERTICAL ILLAMASQUA GRADIENT

Hey guys, how are you all?

So I decided to do another vertical gradient and this time I used Illamasqua Stance* and Monogamous. It was super easy to do and I love the colours together. Once that had dried I used the Barry M Nail Art Pen in Black to draw on this lace design I saw on instagram.

ILNP SIRENE & LACE NAIL ART

Hey guys, how are you all doing? 

So I absolutely love lace nail art, I think it just looks so so beautiful on the nails. Unfortunately I don't own any lace stamping nails or decals so I have to be old fashioned and paint them on! I got this design from instagram I think or actually I'm not sure my memory is so bad!

I started off with one coat of ILNP Sirene over a black base and then I used a silver gel pen which you can get from anywhere, I think I got mine from Asda. I waited about 5 minutes so I didn't smudge it and then applied topcoat . 

Please excuse the tip wear, I added the lace on the 2nd day of wear, and my skin is a funky colour here too but please try to ignore that and look at the pretty nails :) 

Ok, so does anyone want to see a tutorial for the lace ? I have a few more lace designs I want to try out and I shall share those when I get round to them!
