LIGHTNING NAILS

Hey guys, happy Wednesday!

So I actually did these nails on my nubs but they never made it to the blog because I just didn't think they looked right! But I loved the design so recreated them on my longer nails! 

To do these nails I did a black and dark blue gradient on all the nails using Angelica nails in Black* (I can't remember the name, sorry) and Nails Inc Motcomb Street at the tips. I then added one coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust on all the nails to make the nails look like the night sky. For the feature nail I used a sponge and painted pink (Playboy Hot Violet*) in the middle and a circle of purple (OPI Funky Dunkey) around it, so kind of like a circular gradient, and sponged this onto the nail. and just to finish it off I added a silver lightning nail vinyl from She Sells Seashells which you can get here.

THE FLASH NAILS FOR HALLOWEEN?

Hey guys, Happy October, can you believe it's come so fast? Anyway Halloween is at the end of the month and so I will be posting Halloween manicures throughout the month which are really easy to recreate because they're all done using the amazing Halloween nail vinyls from She Sells Seashells. 

So to kick off the month I'm posting my first Halloween nail design which is really not at all scary in any way, shape or form! So why is this a Halloween design? Well, if you've seen The Big Bang Theory, which most of you probably have, then you may remember Penny's Halloween party for which Sheldon, Raj, Howard and Leonard all dressed up as The Flash, lol! So that is why I class this as a Halloween design!  

To do these I painted my nails with OPI Big Apple Red and then used white acrylic paint to paint on the circle in the middle of the accent nail and two stripes at the tips of the nails. I then applied one of these gold lightning bolt vinyls from She Sells Seashells before top coating to complete the look.

ILNP MASQUERADE & LIGHTNING BOLT NAIL VINYLS

Hey guys, tonight I have one of my most favourite manicure to date. It's no secret I love the ILNP Ultrachromes and, in my eyes, they are the best indie multichromes going! From the latest releases I wasn't sure if I should get Masquerade because it looked too similar to Nostalgia but the pre-order began on my birthday and I took this as a sign to buy them ;) Boy am I glad I did!

For these nails I layered one coat of Masquerade over a black base and on my ring finger I used these lightning bolt nail vinyls (which I received as a gift) from She Sells Seashells to paint on a multichrome lightning bolt.

 Words cannot describe how much I love this nail polish and how much I loved this mani! Actually I loved it a bit too much and ended up breaking a nail pulling down the shutters at work :'(

I'll shut up now and let you drool over the pictures!

LIGHTNING NEVER STRIKES TWICE !

loll, bonjour ladies i'm soooo tired today and i don't think i'm feeling well but i wanted to show you this design i did a while ago, i was inspired by the tape mani's from nailside, i decided to do a small lightning bolt and whilst the gold i painted was still wet i dipped my nail in gold glitter ! this is the first time i tried a tape mani and i have to admit i was quite pleased with the way it turned out they were quite crisp imo, but then i realised once the glitter was on you couldn't see the lines underneath clearly : ( 

it looks a bit messy over here 

do you like it ?
