A Few Manis From November

Hi all.

I've spent a few hours today editing through some old photos (most of which were taken on my iPhone, so aren't the best quality) so I have a few mani's to show you today, and hopefully will get some more set up to post so I can start posting regularly again!

Please excuse the tip wear in the next one, and the not so great stamping. I actually think that this purple and yellow combo was from mid October!

Not the best pictures, but the first mani I especially loved. The base is Nicole by OPI - Pretty In Plum very lovely shade, and it looks quite different in different lighting.

Other than that there's not much more to say! Hope you've had a lovely weekend, mine has been a let down; as per. But at least I have a busy three days before I have an interview on Thursday, and then I'm not back in work until Monday!

Christmas Pick & Mix

Hi all, happy Friday!

This week has been a loooooong week, but I'm hoping that this weekend will help me recover further from my cold/cough and a night out with the bestie will get me into the festive mood further!

I've been sporting these nail since Sunday, and while they are currently chipped on a few corners, they're holding up quite well!

The white base on most of the nails is Rimmel - French White, and the glitter on those nails is Nails Inc - Electric Lane. Not sure why I love white with glitter like this, but I do! I really still need to buy a new white as this one has been thinned so much it smells more like thinner than polish!

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Coats: Rimmel - French White, NOPI - My Cherry Amour & W7 - Night Suede (pinky)

Image Plates: Bundle Monster BMH01 BMH03

Glitter: Ciaté - Sequin Mistletoe Magic (thank you Debbie-dumpling for this :D)

Stamping Colours: W7 - Suede, Konad White, Rimmel Black, Revlon - Emerald City

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

 And for funsies here's the stamping without dotting or a top coat. Rudolph freaked me out so much at this point with his zombie eyes!

Hope you's like these :] I'm hoping to post more festive-themed nails soon when I do some more peoples nails!

Revlon - Emerald City & Golden Rose - Scale Effects 04

Another quick post today, I'm not really feeling too sociable so I'll just share some pictures. These again are from a while back, I need to wear Emerald City again as it's so, so gorgeous!

Revlon - Emerald City 2 Coats

I wouldn't really describe this as matte finish; I would say It was a satin finish for sure. This was the best Revlon I've ever tried, and I think that is down to the finish of the polish, I've never had such an easy two coats from revlon. The only time I've managed two coats with a Revlon was because of the coats being extremely thick.

Adding a top coat really made this beauty pop though. So much gorgeous shimmer! The photo below does not even do it any justice.

Then I added a coat of Golden Rose - Scale Effects 04 a gorgeous flakie top coat that shines blue to green. I've been lusting after a flakie top coat that's blue-green ever since I discovered flakie top coats, so wearing this was a dream. You guys might get a load of flakie mani's soon hehe.

I hope everyone's having an alright weekend.

Green Gradient & Frog Stamping

So after testing out the images from the plates I recieved from the Born Pretty Store I decided to do some stamping, and I was in the mood for the froggie so I used  M30, and used a green gradient for the background :]

This is more colour true.

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base colour: Rimmel - Tip Whitener
Sponged Colours: Yes Love - Neon Green - 23
                                  W7 - Matte Green

The gradient's a lot prettier in real life, but it was bad photo weather lol. I hope everyone's having a good Thursday!

Peach & Green Using Dashica Big SpD-A

Bit of an odd combo today, but I really loved the shimmer against the creme. This was done with Dashica's Big SpD-A double stamping one of the images, turning it around. I can't believe I forgot to take photos of the base colour, but all I know the formula and the brush was a total PITA. I should've spent an extra quid on a Barry M instead I think.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: Beauty UK - Peach Melba
Stamping Colour: Revlon - Emerald City

Top Coat: Models Own - 3 In 1

Last photo's a bit out of focus but you can see the shimmer from Emerald City more clearly. I almost feel like I should've stamped something else over these...
