Fake Tattoos Nail Tattoo Review

Happy Wednesday guys :]

Today I have a post reviewing some nail tattoos that I was kindly sent to try out a while back now. I've yet to do more than this one mani with them, but I will definitely be trying out the others from the packet when I get a chance.

These nail tattoos are from a company called Fake Tattoos and like the large selection of tattoos they offer on their site, these can be used on the body too.

On to the mani I created with some of these fake tattoos, and I will show you what else they sent, and wht you can expect to see in the future.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colour: Barry M - Lychee

Two Coats Of: Sally Hansen - Pink Rose Diamond

Polka Dots: Kiko - Jewel Pink

Tattoos: Fake Tattoos

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

With Flash

As you can see the holographic sparkle shines through the bow a little which I really like.

Here's what they sent me:

I think next I'll try the moustaches, or the owls! There's so much detail in those owls!

And here's the nude holographic base I created using Barry M - Lychee & and two coats of Sally Hansen - Pink Rose Diamond. I've always wanted a holographic nude so I'm quite happy with this!

The tattoos were really easy to use. I messed up the first one on a thumb by soaking the paper before it was on the nail (don't ask me why I decided to go about things backwards!) but after trimming the paper around the image pressing it to the nail (the tattoos like all other temporary tattoos are a little tacky) then soaking the paper these work an absolute dream! So easy to use, and like water decals and stickers pretty much dry instantaneously.

Have you ever tried using these kind of nail tattoos?

Over A Red Base - We Stamp On Sundays

Hi everyone! I can't believe the weekend is pretty much over all ready!

This week's challenge over at Adventures In Stamping was to stamp over a red base. These are some nails I did for a date a few weeks back (though It didn't happen :c ) But the nails themselves I loved, even though my top coat was so goopy it almost ruined them.

Base Coar: CND - Stickey

Base Colour: Gosh - Berry Me

Glitter: Barry M - Red Glitter

Image Plate: Bundle Monster BM19

Stamping Colour: BYS - Black Satin

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

These made me feel really festive when I wore them, and festive feeling  is something I need more of considering Christmas is only 9 days away, and i'm 99.9% sure i'll be missing out on one of my favourite things this year. Oh, mistletoe kisses I will have you again; perhaps next year. And I'm not talking about chocolate.

But now i'm ranting so I'm gonna actually get out of bed and make a cup of tea :] I hope everyone's had a good weekend!

Circles Or Dots - We Stamp On Sundays

This week’s stamping challenge over at Adventures In Stamping was to use circles or dots, I was still in a blue mood after the last challenge, and I think it is because of all the bad weather that's been going on.

So in my blue mood, I wanted to try one of my new polishes, and ended up using two. I started with LA Colors - Static Electricity (to see the base go here), and layered a coat of the super sheer Radiation over that. I wanted to try stamping with Sinful Colors - See You Soon, and tried with a polka dot stamping image, but that didn't work out too well, so I used this "reverse polka dot" image from Bundle Monster BM21.

Base Coar: La Femme
Base Colour: LA Colors - Static Electricity
LA Colors - Radiation
Stamp Colour: Sinful Colors - See You Soon
Image Plate: Bundle Monster BM21
Top Coat: Rimmel - Clear

 Base colour without stamping:

 Here's what I used:

For those of you that don't know there were some crazy flash floods going on recently. Thursday I went to the Metro Centre to shop for Scott's mam, and the first port of call was food. As I was tucking in; we heard a weird noise, and downstairs the Metro Centre had sprung a leak, and started flooding. Because our burgers were so good we carried on eating, laughing off the little bit of water. Even though the thunder and lightning was still going crazy, making the lights flicker like mad.

It was only when we started trying to shop, and seen that pretty much everything was closed, and areas were blocked off that we realised how bad it really was. And after Scott & his brother got their mam her birthday present we tried to leave.. Oh boy it was such a horrible journey home. Going one way; and then having to turn around cause the road was like a freaking river, no one was giving anyone any helpful information. And what would've been a 40 minute (max) car ride, it took us 4 hours odd to get home. Horrible! I feel a little worse for Andy, Scott's brother, who then had to drive home to Hartlepool. Ouch.

Story over! I hope everyone has had a good weekend :]

More Easter Nails - We Stamp On Sundays

Today's challenge over at Adventures In Stamping was Easter/Spring themed nails. Though I'm not sure if the theme has been changed maybe?

I was totally racking my brains as to what to do for this challenge. I tried playing around with sections of tribal type tip images to make Easter like eggs. But that really didn't work out. So I just decided to use a new image from the Big SdP image plate that I won from Shirley over at Dashica Beauty. Yes; I realise my winning streak is crazy at the minute! I appreciate it all so much though =]

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: BYS - Lila Bliss
Stamping Colour: Konad Special White
Image Plate: Dashica Big SpD - A
Other Colours: George - Smarty Pants
Models Own - Pastel Pink
Mini M&S - Yellow

 

Here's what I used:

So many new pretties to play with! :D

And for good measure here's a picture of Pickle lazing in the sun the other day for the brief 10 minutes it was out.

She also goes by Picklicious which is one of my favourites for her. That or Pixel ^_^ Oh; and that's Jazz in the background!

Thanks again to Shirley! I'm still dying to play with all the pretty possibilities!

Pink Stamped With Chrome Half Moon + Bullions

I had no idea what to title this, I love the idea of this mani, but not the execution; and I don't really think it's very me. Oh and bullion beads... you annoying little gits!

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base Colour: La Femme - Pink Creme
Stamp Colour: N.Y.C - Foil For You
Image Plate: Konad M79
Gold Bullion Beads
Top Coat: Models Own - 3 In 1

From this angle the curve doesn't look wonky ;]

Hope everyone's having a good day. I haven't had a chance to catch up with blog posts, but I shall be doing that tomorrow :]

Pastel Blue Pink Polka Dots And Cute Little Pups!

This mani's actually from a week or so back, but I seem to be forgetting older mani's with for sure posting pretty much what I'm wearing on Sunday for my We Stamp On Sunday challenges. But the fact I have a few slightly older mani's knocking around might help me out with scheduled posts next week while I'm on holiday :] We shall see!

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base Colours: Models Own - Pastel Pink
                        Collection 2000 - Button Moon
Polka Dot Colours: Models Own - Pastel Pink
                              George - Streamer
Dog Colours: Natural Collection - Sugar Mouse
                      BYS - Black Satin
Image Plates: Bundle Monster BM19,
                      Konad M10
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

So I looove the way these turned out. This was the first time using this plate, and the first time I've stamped, filled it in with a polish, and then re-stamped in a darker colour. I messed up a little bit just with my stamping technique, and messed up on the ring finger missing a huge chunk of the Natural Collection Polish I filled in the stamp with. So I filled in any bits of blue or pink that were peeking through.

Hope everyone's having a good Wednesday! :]

Snowman, Stripes & Polka Dots!

Happy Holidays =]

Conditions are proving difficult for doing my nails. Dogs are really cute; but really clingy ¬_¬ And the sun's not been out too much, and there's not much bright lighting in this house. So I'm posting some images from the start of the month, until I manage to get some decent pictures.
