Summery Pastel Paisley

Hi all.

I can't quite believe it's Sunday already - especially as I wanted a chill weekend, and made no plans for Saturday. But I got quite a lot of little to-do items done :]

These nails are from a couple of months back now, after having a few really nice warm days I started just reaching for summery colours, especially pastels.

For this look I patted a purple, yellow, peach and blue over white, and then stamped, I feel like there may have even been a green crellie in there somewhere but I can't remember!

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colours: Rimmel - White, Models Own - Peach Sherbert, Blueberry Muffin & Banana Split, Spoiled - Amethyst

Stamping Colour: BYS Black Satin

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

Hope you've all had a nice weekend, I'm going to go and stuff my face with tasty food & probably go and watch the new Transformers movie :]

Beauty UK - Jelly Bean & Gold Paisley Using Bundle Monster 315

Ahhh! Happy Friday my lovelies!

I am feeling a little better recently, I'm not going through a mass of tissue blowing my nose every 10 minutes, so things are looking up :] I also have such an amazing  polish to show you today, and I may need to buy a backup bottle because I love it that much hahaha.

For those of you who have been reading my blog for a while now; you may have heard me talk about "Saints Row purple" and how I've been on a hunt for the perfect bright purple polish that's not too pale and doesn't lean too plummy. After buying a watch that I thought was the perfect purple (it looked it online) about a year ago and it was too warm, I'd almost given up hope.

That's when the new Beauty UK candy collection comes in. Jelly Bean, oh Jelly Bean, where have you been all my life! Pretty fitting as I some times get called Jelly Bean or Jenni Bean hehe.

This is the best polish formula wise that I've ever came across from Beauty UK. It's opaque in one, more vibrant in two, and dries really quick too. It dries the typical neon matte ( I have no photos sorry) but looks pretty with top coat too.

Base Coat: La Femme

Base Colour: Beauty UK - Jelly Bean

Stamp Colour: Barry M - Gold Foil

Top Coat: Rimmel 60 seconds - Clear

  

Here's some swatch shots to show it in a different light.

So yeah, look at that beauty! Ignore the little glittery specks, I must have had something on my top coat brush :(

Hope you're all having a good Friday :]

Sinful Colors - Daddy's Girl & Hot Pink Chrome Konad

Very quick post from me tonight (Wednesday as I write this) as i'm super tired and just want to go to bed!

I finally got around to getting some swatch shots of Sinful Colors - Daddy's Girl, and although it's a pain to get colour accurate photos, I think I did okay. After that I really wanted to see what a pink chrome would look like stamped over it. It's strange though, as before I added top coat the colour was a lot brighter, and stood out against Daddy's Girl really nicely. Maybe it's the age of my top coat.

Base coat: La Femme

Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

 

Ahh Daddy's Girl is so pretty! I just love the pink glass flecks floating around this gorgeous purple jelly. The flecks take on almost a silver quality too at times.

I hope everyone's having a good Thurday so far :]

Using 3 Colours - We Stamp On Sundays

This weeks challenge over at Adventures In Stamping was to use 3 colours. I dunno if it was meant to be three colours including the base or not, but I think it's open to interpretation. Unless it's regarding green/blue and teals :P Hehe.

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base Colour: Models Own - Utopia
Stamping Colours: China Glaze - Frostbite
                             George - Hoax
                             Miss Sporty - Unknown Colour

Top Coat: Models Own - 3 In 1

What I used :]

Kind of hard to see the change in purples, but you can better see the colour changes on the ring and pinky finger.

Stamping like this is my favourite kind. Don't get my wrong; I like nothing more than striking stamping on a plain base colour, but I just love mixing colours.

For stamping like this, where I don't want any harsh lines, I always use the polish left on the scraper not using the first stamp. :]

Pink & Silver Paisley

Not Christmassy at all; but I just needed something to brighten up my day!

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: Miss Sporty - 302 (possibly Hip Pop)
Stamp Colour: China Glaze - Millennium
Plate: Konad M64
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

This stamp never fails me, always good first stamp, and always transfers really well. I really wish I knew the name of this polish though, a few weeks back I thought that it might be Hip Pop, but now I'm not sure. I now know though that it' number is 302. So if you call into Boots or Superdrugs ladies, please let me know!

Black & Yellow, Black & Yellow

I bought two Barry M's recently, 2 for £5 :]

And in my last post I used Berry Ice Cream. Which I love, and have used pretty much every other time I do my nails ^_^

So here is Lemon Ice Cream, Which I also love but I find harder to wear.

Stamp: M60
Base Colour: Barry M - Lemon Ice Cream
Stamp Colour: BYS - Black Satin
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat
Base Coat: CND Stickey
