I think this is my last Christmas mani, so I'm posting it now so It doesn't get neglected until next christmas!

I really loved wearing these, the index finger was amazingly bling and pretty. However the flash washed the glitter out a bit, and after a day and a half the striping tape decided it was gonna start coming off. Does anyone have any tips for this?

Hope everyone's had a good Wednesday :]

Beauty UK - Peach Melba & Purple Double Stamping

Still on the mission of powering through some mani's from the "vault" so today we have some summery nail stamping. Double stamping on super shorties.

I started with a base of Beauty UK - Peach Melba, which was a little tricky if I'm honest, and I think I should've spent an extra pound on the Barry M, and had a friendlier brush to deal with. The base is two coats, then stamped with Max Factor - Fantasy Fire and Bundle Monster BM20, and then Barry M - Indigo and Bundle Monster BM08.

Top Coat: Models Own - 3 In 1

I'm a little gutted that this is the only decent photo I got of these, It was so so hard trying to capture a photo of the shift sparkle going on in Fantasy Fire, but trust me it was there. It almost looked like little veins of sparkly goodness when I moved my fingers. That may be a gross description, but it's the only one I've got :P

And here's two shots of Peach Melba.

Sunlight

This is probably the truest representation of colour.

Such a pretty polish, just like all those pretty peaches around though, but a bargain at £1.99.

Purple And White Stars

I was going through my boxes of polishes, and remembered how much I loved this polish. And then since my nails were shorties I headed for the first set of Bundle Monster. I wish I'd taken some photos before stamping, as I didn't realise I haven't posted about this polish before. It's such a gorgeous colour, and the formula is so great. Very pretty purple purple :]

These were incredibly fun to wear. Even though I love delicate and intricate nail art, I looooove having something bold on my nails. Hope everyone's having a good Tuesday =]

Stripes & Roses

So just a little post today, It's been a bit blah and overcast the past couple of days so I felt like wearing some grey :] 

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You/
Base Colour: Beauty UK - Soft Grey
Stamping Colours: Models Own - Purple Blue
                              BYS - Black Satin
Stamping Plates: BM20 & BM14
Top Coat: Models Own - 3 In 1

I took sooo many photos of this mani in an attempt to get a pic of the slight shift in the stripes, but it was such a pain in the butt I gave up! I do love how the flecks that are in Purple Blue give the stripes a bit of texture.

I hope everyone's having a good Thursday!

Pink, Gold & Silver Damask

I found this a little bit boring to wear but the stamping looks so pretty in photos. Just a quick post today.

Deborah Sunset Cocktail. Orange & Black Candy Striped Nails

So to start with I'm 1, yes 1! Follower away from my first giveaway, I still haven't looked into creating forms, or anything at all so hopefully it won't be too far from hitting 50 that I figure it all out. This being said there's not that many prizes ;( as I'm so skint, but I hope you'll like them all anyways.

Anyhoooo on to the nails ^_^ this is my first mani that remotely reflects Halloween, and I'm so disappointed that I haven't had the time to do all the Halloween looks that i've wanted to. Hopefully I'll still fit some in, cause I love halloween so bad. So so bad.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: Deborah - Sunset Cocktail
Stamp Colour: BYS - Black Satin
Plate: BM20
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

Two coats of Deborah Sunset Cocktail, as you can see there is still visible nail line :( However the colour is so gorgeous, so bright, so shiny, and the glass flecks are just stunning. I have to say, glass fleck is one of my favourite finishes. So yes, hopefully some Halloween stuff to come, but no promises!

Hope everyone's having a good weekend ^_^

Purple Heart Damask

I'll start off by saying I had such a hard time trying to capture all the colour flashes in this polish. It flashes purple, and green, and it's just so drool worthy - couldn't stop looking at my hands. and the formula's amazing, I had no problems at all with dragging, balding, and it was perfect in two coats.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: Gosh - Purple Heart

Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

You can see the warm purple more here, than post Bundle Monster
2 coats in direct sunlight

Prettiness In The Bottle

Candy Striped.

I lovelovelove some of George @ Asda's nail polishes.

Some of them are incredibly good for stamping.

Like Streamer, I would always get compliments on this when I wore it alone, and it doubles as having total opacity as a stamping polish.

Unlike all the white's I own that arent very good at stamping :( which is why I went over this with a thin brush.

Fail. However I still love the Pink & Mintish colour combo.

Stamp: BM20
Stamping Colour: George - Streamer & Rimmel - White
Base Colours: George - Streamer & Models Own - Pastel Pink

Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat
