PRINCESS JASMINE GLITTER GRADIENT NAILS

Hey guys, how's your weekend been? It's been a long day today, glad it's over! I'm so happy to be able to sit, drink some lovely tea and blog :) My vault is overflowing so there will probably be a post every day for a little while! 
Anywho, these nails for some reason remind me of Princess Jasmine, don't ask me why though, lol !
So I started off with 2/3 coats of OPI What's With The Cattitude? I then used OPI Teenage Dream for the glitter gradient before topcoating it all ! 








Simples, right ? What do you guys think, do you love glitter gradient like me?

KIKO FLAKIE GRADIENT

I am so glad it's Friday, it has been a really crazy busy day today and I'm so glad I don't have anything to do tomorrow! So, this morning I had to go into town for some stuff, I ended up walking around for about 4 hours in a pair of boots which completely destroyed my feet, and I hardly bought anything! Then I had to go to work and it was really busy today and then when I got home I had half an hour to get ready and then I headed out one of friends wedding (well it's not actually the wedding day today, because it's an Asian wedding, it takes place over 3 days) I couldn't even wear my gorgeous heels :( 
Anywho I got home about an hour ago and am so glad to put my feet up, ouch! So let's get onto the nails, here's a quick flakie gradient I did a while ago, this is two coats of Kiko 335 and then I used Zoya Chloe for the gradient. It was quite a subtle effect in real life and it looks a bit brighter in these photos than in real life.





So what do you guys think about flakie gradients?

NAILS INC GLITTER BOMB/STARTDUST COLLECTION SWATCHES & REVIEW

Hi guys, I have something exciting to show you guys today! 
A couple of weeks ago I woke up to find an email from Nails Inc with a one day offer on their Glitter Bomb collection, normally I skip past these emails but that day I decided to have a look and I knew I needed it immediately! Unfortunately it was saying it was out of stock on their website so I tweeted them to ask if they had any more and they did! Within an hour they had come back in stock and I got to order one! 

The set of 4 polishes was £12 (bargain!) Unfortunately these polishes are no longer available on the Nails Inc website but do not worry becuase they are available here on the QVC website for just over £20!

Anywho let's talking about the polishes, when I ordered them I thought they'd be milky bases with glitter in it, how wrong I was ! These are actually really sheer glitter top coats (with the exception of Rosemoor Street) with gorgeous duochrome shimmer and larger bits of glitter! A winning combination in my book!

There's quite a few photos, so click read more to see them and also to read my review :)
