Mermaid Scales on Models Own - Blueberry Muffin

Happy Thursday!

Still ploughing my way through a back log of photos, and today I have some pretty amazing glitter nails to show you. Now, I have used this combination before in this post, and I did mention this full mani, but the photos today do a better job of showing just how bloody amazing these glitters are.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colour: Models Own - Blueberry Muffin

Glitter

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

So pretty even without direct light

And here are some swatches of the lovely Models Own - Blueberry Muffin:

While this scented polish is a really pretty super pale blue, the scent doesn't really last long at all. I've had scented polishes before that last for days with top coat on, but this polish seemed like it only lasted about an hour, and didn't exist after top coat. Bit of a bummer, but the scent was just a plus to the shade for me when I bought this.

Hope you've all had a good week so far :]

2true Glitterati Shade 1 - Sapphire

Hi all, no Adventures In Stamping post for me today as I just didn't get round to it.

So instead you can have a couple of swatch shots of a polish that's unique to my stash. This is two coats over black with a top coat. I still haven't tried this by its self, but its really pretty for layering. and it dries really quickly too. Its a blueish base, with fine blue micro glitter, silver hex glitter, and iridescent hex glitter that flashes blue and green.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colour: W7 - Black

Glitter: 2true Glitterati Shade 1 - Sapphire

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

It was kind of hard to capture the iridescent flashes that a lot of the glitters in this have, just look to the bottle for what kind of other colour flashes you get while wearing this.

That's all for me today I'm afraid.

Using A French Tip Design - We stamp On Sundays

Hi all, happy Sunday :]

This week's challenge over at Adventures In Stamping was to use a french tip design. I'm not a super-massive fan of french tip stamping, so I decided to cheat a tiny bit heh. I think one of the main reasons I don't like french tip stamping (the typical curved images) is that they kind of get distorted when you're following your nail line, also as full images on newer plates have got larger, so have the tip designs, and this means they look stupid as heck unless my nails are at a certain length, or I use them like I have done today.

I stamped the image from Bundle Monster BM 217 twice on my nails, starting with the tip, and then rotating the tip to try and help it fit. I messed up in a few places, and my index finger is smeared, but I was too easily distracted to re-do them :]

Base Coat: La Femme

Base Colour: Color Club - Sweet Pea

Stamp Colour: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri - Tealy Fast

Image Plate: Bundle Monster BM 217

Top Coat: Rimmel 60 Seconds - Clear

Here's what I used:

And here's the base colour: Color Club - Sweet Pea, such an easy formula on all these CC's this was two, easy coats, that leveled themselves out, and there was basically no clean up, and dry time was over before I realised! It looks slightly more dusky in the shade too.

I hope you've all had a good weekend!

Green On Green Lizard Skin

Quick post today (Wednesday night as I write this, and I am 5 days behind in my blog list! ack!)

Another mani from a few weeks ago, and something I had wanted to try for a while now. I even tested out this combination when I first got my Beetle Juice polishes after Christmas. MUA - Shade 23 is such a beautiful pale creamy khaki green I really loved the formula on this too. Actually all the MUA polishes that I have tried I've liked, they're great coverage; not too thick, and dry quick. Over that I stamped on Models Own - Golden Green, with a scale effect image.

Such a subtle effect, but I loved these. Enjoy the two pics I managed to snap on a murky day! :]
