SALLY HANSEN AMBER RUBY STAMPED !

Urgh, I have been getting this post together for about 3 hours now, first the internet goes and then blogger says I've reached my 1GB capacity limit, urgh anyways I've resized my pictures for now and I think they look the same but if they don't look good to you then just let me know. 

Anyway Hi guys, I hope your having a lovely weekend  and I hope all my American readers had a lovely Thanksgiving with lots of food : ) Because my internet was refusing to co-operate I didn't really get to do any polish shopping yesterday but there were definitely some good sales on ! 

Anyway I saw this mani months ago and I honestly fell in love with it (but I can't find the blog post now !)

I wanted to instantly recreate it but the only ingredient I had for the mani was smoke and ashes so when I got Amber Ruby you can guess what I wanted to do with it, but alas I didn't have the stamping plates (nor the skills) So when I got my Bundle Monster plates I set to work and I was so excited and pleased with how it turned out only when I looked at the original picture I realised I'd used the wrong stamping image : ( 

Well, that's a long tale lol, anyway enjoy the photo's which didn't turn out so well : (

So enjoy the rest of your weekend guy's I'll talk to you soon  : )

SALLY HANSEN - AMBER RUBY

Heey, how's everybody doin' ? Despite my cheery mood we are still having internet problems which means we don't have internet for like 16 hours a day so I can't post everyday , seriously Sky sort it out, urgh!

Anyways, let's talk nails. I picked up this beauty for £1 from the pound shop ! I've wanted this polish for ageess and almost bought it for £12 from Evilbay, I'm soo glad I waited, good things come to those who wait ; ) 

So this is 2 coats of Amber Ruby over 1 coats of OPI  Mat-adore Red (btw. it was raining when I took these pictures)

check out the amazing shimmer 

Rubbish underwater picture which looks all metallic 

Wow, this polish is freaking gorgeous, seriously it's shot straight up to my top 5 polishes ever, the only downside to this polish is that it takes forever, seriously forever to dry ! Seriously after 1 hour it was still really dentable ! But Seche vite helped : )

So yeah, you will see this polish again in my next post!

DELICATE NUDE & GOLD STAMPING

I have conjunctivitis which has put me in foul mood : ( But these nails have really cheered me up : )

Below is 2 coats of Colour Club Nomadic Nude and then some stamping with Barry M Gold Foil and plate BM-314

Yep the stamping doesn't line up at all and each nail looks different but oh well, I still like it.

MODELS OWN MIRRORBALLS - STRIPED

How's your weekend been guys, mine has been pretty boring (but sometimes boring is good right) 

So today I have another mani which features all 5 Models Own Mirrorball polishes. 

This is 2 coats of Essence Got a Secret and then I just painted alternate stripes using the different Mirrorballs, I can't remember which polishes I used where but it's a really random pattern so you can just do whatever you want really. 

It was really quite easy to do but the brush on my bottle of Hot Stuff was horrible, wonky and bristles in every direction which did make it a bit difficult. 

So guys enjoy the rest of your Sunday and I'll talk to you again soon : )

SOME GOLDEN STAMPING

Really brief post for today, this is basically the mani I had on a few days ago which I showed you here. I just did some subtle stamping with Barry M Gold Foil because I didn't want the stamping to overpower the gold flakes. 

I hope you like it, I'll be back tomorrow (if my internet lets me) with a gorgeous polish : )

BLUE NAILS FOR WORLD DIABETES DAY

Today is World Diabetes and it's lovely that I can show my support through my nails and my blog : ) I have a friend who is a year older than me and has type 1 diabetes so I know how difficult it can be; a couple of years ago when she being as careful with her diet as she should have been she took a turn for the worst and ended up in hospital for a couple of months but thankfully she's much better now. I also have a few family members who suffer too so I had to join it today. 

Diabetes is a chronic disease that arises when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces.  Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas that enables cells to take in glucose from the blood and use it for energy. Failure to produce insulin, or of insulin to act properly, or both, leads to raised glucose (sugar) levels in the blood (hyperglycaemia). This is associated with long-term damage to the body and failure of various organs and tissues. (Taken from the International Diabetes Federation website where you can find out more about diabetes and today)

So for the nails I did 2 coats of Kiko 336 (the Nails Inc Baker Street dupe) and then topped it off with one coat of Ninja Polish Sticks n' Stones and 2 coats of topcoat. The accent nail is supposed to be an accu check testing strip, complete with the drop of blood on the end. 

Check out everybody else's blue mani's and share your own : )

NAILS INC MOTCOMB STREET & SOPI IT'S REAL 18K GOLD TOPCOAT

I loveed this combo, seriously so chic and gorgeous ! 
2 coats of Nails inc Motcomb Street , a deep navy which looks black in some lightings and is incredibly shiny and gorgeous (which I got free with Glamour) and 1 coat of Sephora by Opi It's Real 18K Gold Top Coat which I got from Jasmine

 It's a really dense topcoat (compared to the others) and the flakes are much smaller but now I think I prefer the smaller flakes to the larger ones !
