LIME UP & WHIRLED AWAY

Hi guys, hope your having a nice weekend :) Today I have another polish from the China Glaze Cirque Du Soliel collection. This is Whirled Away, the matte black and white glitter top coat. 

In all the reviews that  read of this people had said it was a pain to apply and the white glitters were particularly difficult to get out; so when I got it I was prepared for the worst but thankfully it wasn't that bad ! 

 I was going to get Def Defying but I thought it might be a dupe for Essence Lime Up so I passed on it and this was the first combo I created with Whirled Away.

 For the accent nail I did a drag marble design with Lime Up and OPI A Grape Fit, it looked quite cool but then I applied Whirled Away and it kind of ruined it !

INDIAN INSPIRED NAILS

A while ago I was browsing on Flickr and came across this gorgeous mani which I just had to try out

So yeah, I got to try this out the other day!

For this mani I started out with 1 coat of Essie Lights and the using Essie Bazooka and a makeup sponge I created the pink & orange gradient. Once that was dry I stamped over it using the Paisley pattern from the BM-315 using Barry M Gold Foil. 

The overall effect reminded me of typical Indian/Pakistani prints and I'm so pleased with how it turned out ! 

I have cuticle oil on in these pictures because they were in a dreadful state so if my fingers are looking extra shiny then that's why!

IT'S A TRAPEZE & CIRCUS TENT

Hi guys, really quick post for you guys here, I have a lot to do today so I'm not sure if I'll get a chance to blog later today ! 

Anywho so after wearing It's A Trapeze for a day I decided to add a circus tent on my ring finger ! I think it turned out ok, but I'll let you guys be the judge of that ! I just used red and white acrylic paint and then topcoated it with NYC Turbo dry

IT'S A TRAPEZE

So the whole of the Cirque Du Soliel collection was kinda a hit for me ! I really like the whole collection and would have got them all if I could but I couldn't so I allowed myself to get 3 which I showed you in my last haul ! This was the one I was most excited about and although there are quite a few similar Indies I don't own any of them ! 

Below is 2 coats and the glitter does tend to clump a little so you have to be careful applying this one ! 

Pretty, pretty, pretty ! 

I added a little something to this which I'll show you tomorrow

Pretty, pretty, pretty

RED VALENTINE'S

Hi guys, so here is a Valentine's mani I rustled up for you guys : ) I'm not a Valentine's person at all but I know some of you like seeing these types of mani's :) 

Ok so for this I started off with one coat of Kiko 238 (which is an amazing red) then I sponged on Colour Club Ruby Slippers on to the tips. When that was dry I stamped on this hearts image from the CH-15 plate using the white Born Pretty stamping polish I reviewed here ! To finish off I topcoated the design with NYC Turbo Dry !

Hope you like this one :)

GLISTENING SNOW

Hi guys, how are you all, did you have a lovely weekend? I've done pretty much nothing all day, but I spent the whole of Saturday painting swatch sticks ! 

Anyways so here is a mani I did a while ago, hope you like it !

The base coat is 2 coats of China Glaze Glistening Snow. When I first saw this polish I though meh and passed on it and then I don't know what happened but I got a huge lemming for this polish, like seriously, I NEEDED it ! Thankfully I found it on sale in the gift set :D 

Then I stamped over it with Pure Ice French Kiss with the Spongeboby flowers on the CH-14 plate from the Cheeky Vibrant Collection! 

Unfortunately, I couldn't take any photo's in the sun but trust me this was insanely holographic !

CHINA GLAZE I'M WITH THE LIFEGUARD & GLITTER LAYERING

Happy Friday guys. I'm in a very good mood today, not sure why though!

 I've just spent the past hour glequining and I need a break so I thought I'd show you these nails I did a while ago; very bright and in your face ! 

So I completely skipped over the China Glaze Summer 2012 neon collection and got this shade by accident in the big lot I showed you in my previous haul and I fell in love with it, well mainly the shimmer in it! I'm thinking I need more of that collection now, hmm! 

Anyways if you would like to recreate this mani, then you'll need 2 coats of China Glaze I'm With The Lifeguard, followed by 1 coat of China Glaze Glistening Snow for some sparkle and finally top it all off with one coat of the best glitter topper in the world ie. Ninja Polish Sticks n' Stones (or any of it's many many dupes!)

It was rather difficult capturing the true colour of these nails because when my camera saw neon it just refused to co-operate ! I tried to make it a bit more colour accurate whilst editing but that didn't really work and I've ended up with funny looking skin ! 

I'm With The Lifegaurd - Very neon and green, with gorgeous gorgeous shimmer which makes this shade a lot more wearable imo!

Ok, so that's all folks, have a lovely weekend and I'll see y'all soon ;)
