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)

PICTURE POLISH SOLAR FLARE GALAXY NAILS

Hi guys, I have a really busy weekend coming up, you probably already know it's my besties wedding this weekend, well I'm so excited and it's gonna be so busy, so today I'm going to leave you with this beauty for the weekend :)

 Often I find myself wanting a polish after seeing someone where it? Well this purchase I blame completely on Patsy after she posted a video of this beauty on instagram. 

I managed to score this on Facebook ;) I used one coat of black and then painted on one coat of Picture Polish Solar Flare, after that was dry I painted on some 'stars' using white acrylic paint to make it look like galaxy nails and oh my gosh I have so much love for these nails.

TEAL ILLAMASQUA COMPARISON GRADIENT & BLIZZARD & PAISLEY NAIL ART

Hey everyone, this week has been so busy! It's my besties wedding this weekend which means I won't have time to do any university work and next week is the deadline for my essay and oral presentation, which is why I was awake until 5am last night working! Anywho I have some more gradient nails to share with you today. I did these a while ago but I will be doing them again this weekend for the wedding as my outfit is teal and these will just look amazing!

I ordered Illamasqua Venous from their latest sale and when I got it I thought it may be a dupe for Illamasqua Muse and I thought some other poeple may have had the same thought. So when I held them next to each other I was happy to see they weren't a dupe but they were rather similar so I thought I'd do a little comparison of the two but in a gradient this time! 

I used Venous closest to the cuticle and Muse at the tips. I then used Illamasqua Blizzard, which was another purchase from the same sale, on the pinky and pointed finger. On the middle two fingers I used the silver* Art Deco acrylic paint, which I've already raved about, to paint on the paisley design.

WATERCOLOUR BUBBLE NAILS

Hey guys, so it's Sunday night again :( but I have some watercolour nails to share with you today! 

I saw this design on instagram and fell in love with it but was a bit apprehensive about trying this technique out, but I'm really glad I did because it's super easy to do! I've also made a tutorial for you guys but I will post that in another post probably tomorrow.

I used the Deco Art acrylic paints again and Essence white stamping polish.

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.

ESSENCE ORCHID GRADIENT NAILS

Hi guys, Yaay it's Saturday (well nearly Sunday now!) :D 

Today I have some more gradient nails to show you and I absolutely love them! 

For these nails I used Essence Purple Sugar and Break Through to do the gradient, these colours just blended together so flawlessly and just looked so gorgeous together! 

I decided to take it one step further and add some glitter because I you know I always do, teehee! I used the lovely Maybelline Top Splatter (Precious Pearl in the US I believe)

THE BODY SHOP GREEN NAILS

Happy Saturday guys, how's your weekend going? I was supposed to be going to a family friends house today but instead I'm in bed ill, super! But that does mean I was able to get my Colors By Llarowe nail mail today so that's cheered me up :) 

Remember a few weeks ago when I posted the Press Release from The Body Shops new Colour Crush nail polish collection? Well the colour which stood out and got me most excited was The Body Shop Green*.

I have a review of 3 shades from the collection coming up soon but for today I'm giving you a sneaky peek at one of the colours and some nail art I created using this shade. 

I started with 2 coats of The Body Shop Green which is such a gorgeous and iconic colour with a perfect formula and a really lovely brush which means it's really easy to apply this polish neatly. 

On the middle finger I decided to paint on The Body Shop logo using white acrylic paint and I know it's not perfect but it's more difficult than it looks and I'm a little out of practice! 

  

This nail polish is available from the 9th of September in selected store and nationwide from the 16th of September.

I will have a full review of this polish and the other 2 up very soon and enjoy the rest of your weekend :)
