The Questions

What is your go to makeup product?
Mascara, my eyelashes are pants without it, but I never go without foundation.. Unless walking my friends dogs :P

What was your favorite fashion trend of 2011?
Honestly I don't know, I'm not a massive follower of fashion, If double finger rings count, then that would be it lol.

What is your favorite dessert?
Ice cream, Frozen yoghurt. I love lemon grass frozen yoghurt, soo good!

Favorite color?
Purple & Teal.

What is your middle name?
Harriet, after my auntie. It's a weird story, she got put into adoption/foster care or something when she was a kid, and it was only about 4 years ago that we found her, so to speak. And she'd changed her name to Jennifer.

What was the last song you listened to?  
I have no idea..

Cats or Dogs?
Cats! I like both, but I've always had cats so it's just the way it is!

The Share..
Something you guys don't know... Hmm, the tattoo I got on my birthday is actually a matching tattoo with my boyfriend :] His is black and blue, mine is black and pink.


The Cute Blogs:
Polish Amor♥

Jewels and Nails

Glassflecked.

ChromaCraze

I decided for this to just randomly pick 4 blogs that I like the look of. I hate picking blogs for these things as I always feel mean to those I don't include, but because last time I was a poo-face and didn't really tag anyone I thought it best if I did this time!

Models Own - Utopia, Pink Striping Tape & Pearls

When I picked up Utopia, I decided to use a pearly blue top coat as well, it didn't really show up too well in photos but you do catch a peek of it at times. The pearly blue colour is a Scarlett & Crimson polish from a set I got a few years back, I can't remember; but I think Scarlett & Crimson is a line produced by Ruby & Millie.

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base Colour: Models Own - Utopia
Pink Striping Tape & Pearls
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

 

With a flash as it was pitch black outside :] The blue shimmer polish gives Utopia a bit of a sheer shimmer, I like it :]

I always forget how much I love striping tape on top of a creme polish. It's a shiny awesomeness that will never be achieved with polish. I think I'll have to use it more. These were fun to wear, but honestly I only picked up the pearls because I hadn't used them at all since I bought them, months and months ago.

Pink Chrome Roses

This was one of those mani's that you can't stop staring at, because I mixed the chromes before scraping the plate it made certain parts of the image pop. So fun to wear. Sorry for whatever happened to the ring finger, I think some acetone spillage perhaps.

Some of these didn't transfer so well oops. I started with 2 coats of George - Asda, and then did a zigzag in one of the chromes, and filled in the other parts with the other chrome.

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base Colour: George - Confusion
Stamp Colours: N.Y.C. - Foil For You & Foil'er Up
Image Plate: Konad M65
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

I think I'll have to use this method more often!

Nude Leopard Print, Models Own & W7

I've always lusted after nude leopard print manis, but never did one until now, just because I was hoping to have more nudes in my collection. I love nudes, I'm not sure why but nudes and taupes are my thing.. Although I wear a lot, a lot of brights xD

Anyhoo I did this using Models Own - Nude Beige, which is half empty and still applies like a dream, and used W7 - Suede, and a black nail art pen.

Base Coat: Nail Rx - Stuck on you
Base Colour: Models Own - Nude Beige
Spot Colour: W7 - Suede
Nail Art Pen In Black
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

For the last two days of wear I added Rimmel - Matte finish

 These were really fun to wear, especially matte.

My Cousin Frans Nails!

Frances and my aunt Rosie came to stay with my family over Christmas for about 5 days, in that time I did Fran's nails three times, my aunts once, and my mams once; for the first time ever. Because these were all done at night and we had stuff to do/ were sleeping during the best hours of light I only have pics of Fran's designs. Also partly because her iPhone flash doesn't bleach out your fingers like my camera flash does!

The penguin design came from a You Tube tutorial, after I spied it on Copy That, Copy Cat and fell in love with it :] Sorry for the messy clean up, I haven't found my perfect cleanup method for acrylic paint & polish just yet, not while the nails are wet yet anyways.
