LIME CRIME GRADIENT

Hi guys, what have you all been up to this weekend? I didn't really do anything yesterday other than watching tv and doing some work but today I'm going shopping yaay! 

So on to today's nails, I recently got some Lime Crime polishes in a blog sale and thought I'd use them together in a gradient, I used Peaches & Cream and Parfait Day.

This was a pain to do, I had to do about 4 coats of the gradient and bits of sponge got stuck on the nail and it just really annoyed me, so I applied one coat of Maybelline Chalk Dust over the top to make it look a bit better, it didn't really work so there's only 2 pictures! 

So that's all for today folks and I'll see you in the next post :)

SHIMMER SPAM PART 1

Hey y'all , how are you doing? My weekend has started today, woop woop!! 

So today I have some Shimmer spam for you. When I first saw Shimmer polishes I was a bit skeptical because the glitter was fine and they weren't like the other indies available, when I actually got them though i loved them, they are all so unique and beautiful so I'm really excited to be sharing them with you. 

Each glitter has so much going on it it'll take me forever to list all the different types and colours of glitter in each.

TRIBAL NINJA NAILS

Hi guys, hope you had a nice Monday, for this mani I was lacking inspiration and so just sat and stared at the polishes on my table for ages and I ended up with this! 

I was inspired by a design I saw on Instagram somewhere, unfortunately I can't remember where, sorry! 

So I did two coats of Collection 2000 Ninja and then used black and white acrylic paint for the rest of the design, I'm not sure if Ninja is still available, I got mine years ago!

It's a really simple and easy design to do but looks so cool I think! Let me know if you want a tutorial for this design!

ANGELICA PRE FALL COLLECTION

Hey guys, this weekend has gone by so fast! 

So today I have a lovely collection from Angelica Nail Colour to show you.

 I received these a while ago actually and swatched them within the week but then the post kind of got lost in my drafts but anyways this is the Pre Fall Collection, this is a new concept to me and I actually really love the idea and I can see it catching on, this is what Angelica have to say about this collection: 

'We're not ready to let go of our Summer nails yet at Angelica, so we've launched a late Summer collection full of on-trend shades to carry you through from your Summer to Autumn'

See all the pictures after the break

HOLOGRAPHIC BRUSHSTROKE BUTTERFLY WING NAILS

Tgif right? I'm so tired today, it's been a crazy week! 

So for these nails I used some of the holographic polishes from the China Glaze OMG Collection. I used OMG, L8R G8R, DV8, QT, LOL, 2NITE for the brushstroke pattern on all the nails, it was rather subtle especially in the sun when the holographicness was showing. 

I then used some black acrylic paint to paint on the wings and did some small white dots. I didn't apply topcoat because I liked the mate effect overall and the topcoat would have dulled the holographicness!

Right, so what do you think of that then?

MIDDLE MAN GRADIENT

Happy Tuesday guys, hope your all ok, I hope your not sick of gradients yet because I have another one for you today! 

I've been experimenting with different types of gradient and this is the latest result, For this I used Barry M Gelly Plum and Essence Let's Get Lost and a sponge, but this time instead of just painting on two stripes of  polish onto the sponge I started with a purple stripe at the top and then a line of blue and below that the purple again. 

It was a bit tricky positioning the gradient so it was central to the nail so I applied one coat of Maybelline Polka Dots Chalk Dust to hide some of the imperfections. 

So I think this is my last gradient for a while guys! I'll see you in my next post :)

RED & PURPLE GRADIENT NAILS

Hi guys, how was your Monday? Mine was tiring but good :) 

Anywho I have another gradient to share with you today, this time I used Kiko 238 and Essence Breakthrough, I then topped it off with one of my favourite glitters toppers, OPI Which is Witch?

The end result looked messy to me so I didn't keep it on for long!
