SHIMMERY JEWEL MARBLE & 18K GOLD TOPCOAT !

It's a miserable, rainy day here in England, what's the weather like where you are?

So for today's nails, we have one of my favouritist (I know that's not a real word in the dictionary but it is in my head) nails ever, I think this is perfect for a christmas day mani or new years to when you want something elegant but with a litttle twist ! 

Ok so for this mani I started out with 1 coat of w7 black, while it was wet I placed on dots of China Glaze - Little Drummer Boy, Orly Smolder, Zoya Veruschka, OPI Russian Navy and Essence Choose Me, then I just swirled them around like I showed you in this tutuorial here. Then I added one coat of Sephora by OPI It's Real 18K Gold Topcoat ! 

Aaah, this is a real beauty irl! It's feels so luxurious and expensive lol ! Do you guys love it as much as me ?

UNWRAPPING PRESENTS

Hi guys, so this mani was inspired by Pretty Digits peeling nails. My intention was to make it look like you were peeling back wrapping paper and there was a colourful present underneath ! 

Just before I show you the pics I have to warn you I did this design with the thick nail polish brush which made it extremely difficult to get perfect lines etc. so this isn't very perfect. 

Ok, so start with I painted the top half of the nail red and then stamped a floral image over it with Zoya Veruschka and then Barry M Gold Foil. Then I painted most of the nail with w7 black, then mixed some black and white on a bit of paper and painted on the grey triangle. I wanted to mattify it all but I didn't have my matte topcoat so I left it ! 

Well, do you think it looks ok? I quite like it :)

SNOWY CHRISTMAS GRADIENT

Hi everyone, hope your all good :)

The inspiration for today's nails came from the gradient image on the BM-301 plate ! So I painted on 2 coats of Models Own Baby Blues and I used w7 white to stamp on the gradient which looked good but when I painted on the wavy tips to look like snow on the ground the falling snow looked way too subtle in comparison so I stamped over it again, it's  still subtle but I like it :) Oh yeah and then I dotted on 2 dots to make the snowman and done ! 

I'm not sure if it looks like it's snowing but I really like it, hope you guys do too :)

EASY STAMPED CANDY CANE INSPIRED NAILS

Happy Monday guys (if there is such a thing ) 

So this is probably simplest and easiest Christmas manicure I've done this year but it's one of my favourites  Well I say it's easy but for the last 2 fingers the image just would not stamp, I swear I must have tried about 15 times, I got there in the end though! 

So this is 2 coats of Max Factor - Redly Nightshade and then the stripey image from BM-301 plate 

So yeah a very simple. cute mani

 Ok, talk to you tomorrow guys take care 'till then :)

ACCESSORIZE - DRAGONFLY

So yesterday I showed you the gorgeous ladybird and today I have Dragonfly, I think I like it but I may need to wear it again to make up my mind ! 

So for this I applied one coat of Dragonfly then 1 coat of Essence - Evil Queen and another coat of Dragonfly, I had hoped you would be able to see the big purple glitter in Evil Queen through the final coat but it just made it look lumpy and uneven!

Dragonfly however applied beautifully now as much clumping with this one, it's a beautiful green with purple glitters and again it looks squishy and pretty :)

You can kind of see the glitter from Evil Queen here

What do you guys think about this one then?

ACCESSORIZE - LADYBIRD

I can't describe how much I love this polish seriously, I ordered one for a friend online and when I saw it in the bottle I though meh because it looked a lot darker in the bottle but there was a 3 for 2 offer on so I ordered it anyway and thought if I didn't like it I'd sell/swap it but oh man I fell in love with this as soon as I put it on! This is gorgeous. 

Below is 2 coats topped off with one coat of Seche Vite, the glitter did clump a little bit but it wasn't anything major 

Gosh, it looks soo squishy irl and the black glitter just pops, overall a really really gorgeous polish : D

CANDY CANE DRAG MARBLE NAILS

Wow, today's second post : o 

Lol, anyway these nails were also done using a red and white polish 

So before I did all my nails I decided to try the technique out on my thumb so I roughly painted on a quick coat of white and then the red stripes before using my pin  to drag it across, and it turned out really quite well especially for my first ever try ! 

So full of confidence I started on the rest of the nails and wow that turned out to be a big fail, I redid each nail about 5 times and eventually just settled with this and I'm not very pleased with it so I'm only showing you 2 pictures !

(sorry the white looks kinda messy and rushed!)

Well, I was going to do a tutorial but I think I need more practise first !
