HOLOGRAPHIC PEACE MERMAID NAILS

Hi everyone, remember these nails which I showed you the other day? 
Well I decided to go one step further and add a holo topcoat with the fish scale nail vinyls from She Sells Seashells.

SPICE NAILS WITH BARRY M GELLY

Hola guys! So uni is now finished for Christmas and I had the loveliest day yesterday, I went to the Christmas markets, had crepes, went ice skating for the first time (I was awful, I fell 5 times) and ended it all with a lovely dinner. It's been really busy these past 2-3 weeks so I'm really happy to have nothing to do today :) 
 Today I have some nails which were completely inspired by the collection they came out with. I am talking about the Barry M Winter Gelly collection, I picked up the shades Mustard, Chilli, Paprika, Cardamom and Chai (which I didn't use in this design) I love the spice names and so decided to use all 4 of the polishes and then frame each nail with silver Art Deco acrylic paint* to look like a spice box! I'm not sure it fully worked but it still looks good right?

ILNP PEACE & UNICORN

Hi guys, how are you all today? I'm sorry I disappeared, the wedding was amazing and busy of course, and today I finally handed in my essay and had my oral presentations which went well as well and tomorrow is the last day of the semester, woop, woop! 
I wore these nails when I went to go and see the lovely Sarah. I use a coat of black polish for and then applied one coat of ILNP Peace. On the middle finger I used a unicorn nail vinyl from She Sells Seashells on the ring finger and painted over it with black.

PICTURE POLISH SOLAR FLARE GALAXY NAILS

Hi guys, I have a really busy weekend coming up, you probably already know it's my besties wedding this weekend, well I'm so excited and it's gonna be so busy, so today I'm going to leave you with this beauty for the weekend :)
 Often I find myself wanting a polish after seeing someone where it? Well this purchase I blame completely on Patsy after she posted a video of this beauty on instagram. 
I managed to score this on Facebook ;) I used one coat of black and then painted on one coat of Picture Polish Solar Flare, after that was dry I painted on some 'stars' using white acrylic paint to make it look like galaxy nails and oh my gosh I have so much love for these nails.

TEAL ILLAMASQUA COMPARISON GRADIENT & BLIZZARD & PAISLEY NAIL ART

Hey everyone, this week has been so busy! It's my besties wedding this weekend which means I won't have time to do any university work and next week is the deadline for my essay and oral presentation, which is why I was awake until 5am last night working! Anywho I have some more gradient nails to share with you today. I did these a while ago but I will be doing them again this weekend for the wedding as my outfit is teal and these will just look amazing!
I ordered Illamasqua Venous from their latest sale and when I got it I thought it may be a dupe for Illamasqua Muse and I thought some other poeple may have had the same thought. So when I held them next to each other I was happy to see they weren't a dupe but they were rather similar so I thought I'd do a little comparison of the two but in a gradient this time! 
I used Venous closest to the cuticle and Muse at the tips. I then used Illamasqua Blizzard, which was another purchase from the same sale, on the pinky and pointed finger. On the middle two fingers I used the silver* Art Deco acrylic paint, which I've already raved about, to paint on the paisley design.

ROSE NAILS

Hi everybody, how are you? I've spent the past 3 days working on an essay which is drawing the life out of me! I also have my besties wedding this weekend and my outfit still isn't ready! 
Today I have some rose nails to share with you. I used a tutorial to paint on the rose which I saw on instagram (and I can't remember whose tutorial it was) I wasn't sure what to do as a backgroud, eventually I decided to try out a circular gradient using Zoya Ling* and Models Own Baby Blues, this was the first time I tried a circular gradient and I think it turned out ok! 
I then painted on the rose on the middle finger and to tie the rest of the nails in I added a few rose petals on the other nails and I fell in love.
