RAINBOW DIAMOND GLITTER PLACEMENT NAILS

Hey everyone, how are you all? 
I've spent the day running errands and for some reason ended up at a farm this morning (don't ask) haha! I'm going to go and make a stir fry in a bit and then tonight is all about nails :) Yaay! What are your plans for the rest of the day?
Ok, so here is a glitter placement rainbow design I did with my set of holographic rhombus glequins. I started off with 2 coats of Sally Hansen Whirlwind White and then just applied the glitter. 
I'm not crazy about how it looks so wasn't sure if I should post these but I often find most of the nail designs I'm not crazy about you guys like so this is for you :)




Ok, so I'll see you guys tomorrow :)

OPI GERMANICURE BY OPI & PURE ICE HEARTBREAKER

Hey guys, hope your having a lovely weekend :)
Ok, so today I spent the day editing loads of photos and sorting out my drafts etc and I found this post which I should have posted months ago but somehow got forgotten about so here it is for you today :)
For these I did two coats of OPI Germanicure By OPI and then applied one coat of Pure Ice Heart Breaker. It didn't turn out like I thought it would in my head mainly because the shimmer in Heart breaker is bigger than in the OPI and so it just doesn't look right, what do you think?

BUTTER LONDON SCALLYWAG

Hi guys, how are you all? I've had exams this week which is why I haven't blogged but I finished yesterday so today has been about nails, nail polish and blogging : ) 
So I have so much to show you but I have loads of posts from last year which I never got round to showing you and my brain will start to itch if I don't post stuff in order ; ) haha!
So this is two coats of Butter London Scallywag, a gorgeous vibrant turquoise glitter. 
This is really topcoat thirsty though, I applied about 3 coats of topcoat and it still had a gritty look/feel!






Ok, so then I applied gold and silver hex glequins as frames on my index and pinky finger

Hey everyone, how are you all? Well I have a tonne of revision to do and on Thursday I went and picked up the Maybelline Street Chic polishes from Boots and I wasn't going to swatch them until after my exams next week but I had a bad day yesterday and I didn't feel like working so I decided to swatch these, unfortunately I didn't have time to edit the pictures last night so I did them today and here you are :)
So I know there are more than 4 in this collection but only 4 have been released in the UK which I have to show you today!

ILLAMASQUA RAINDROPS & HOLOGRAPHIC PINK DISC GLEQUINS

Hey guys, how are you all? I'm sad the holidays are over : (
Anywho here are the nails I did to cheer me up ! I shared a sneaky peak video on my instagram yesterday so be sure to follow me on there for more sneak peaks and behind the scenes, hehe!
Ok so these holographic pink disc glequins* were amongst the package I was sent from The Glitter Shop and I just knew I wanted to pair them with grey. So I started off with one coat of Essence Got A Secret (my favourite grey) then applied one coat of Illamasqua Raindrops before applying the glequins. I then applied two coats of NYC Turbo Dry Top Coat.  












Urgh, this is so so sparkly and I love this type of glitter so much, actually I think this is my favourite type of glitter I've ever used! I have the same glequins in different colours so I hope your not sick of these yet because there's still more to come : )
You can buy these glequins here, for some reason they're only showing the silver ones at the moment but if you email them I'm sure they'll be happy to help you.
Ok, so I hope you have a good week, I have a lot of studying to do this week so I might not see you until the week after now so take care until then guys! :)

*Some of the products in this post were sent to me for my review. See my disclosure policy for more details

HOLOGRAPHIC GOLD DISC GLEQUINS FOR NEW YEARS !

Happy Thursday guys! How are you all today? I've noticed today that I've also had unusually high page views for today, not sure why?!
So here is the nails I've been promising you for days, but be warned these nails were the first nails I photographed with my new dslr camera so my hand position etc. is a bit dodgy and the photos aren't the best but just try and look at the sparkly ; )

Ok so I started off with two coats of Angelica Nails black nail polish* (sorry I can't remember the name) I then used these gold holographic disc glequins which I got from eBay and just placed them on my nails before adding two thick coats of topcoat! 

I know it's not really coming off in the photos but this was so insanely sparkly, I posted a video on my instagram and they look like disco balls!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!

Hey everyone, how are you all doing? Ok, so I know I said I had a super sparkly nail design to show you today and this isn't it, sorry! 
Today I had to recreate this and this nail design from last year and the year before because that is how I've started each year I've been blogging. 
So I just did two coats of OPI Bring On The Bling and used black acrylic paint to paint on the numbers before adding two layers of topcoat!




Ok, so I wish you all have an amazing year and I shall see you tomorrow with the sparkly nails ;)
