Halloween Colour Camo.

Hi all! Happy Tuesday!

My interview went well yesterday, and I believe things are in motion *touch wood* I apparently have no free time these days though, so this will be a quicky quick post today, but it's better than nothing right?

These are some nails that I was inspired to do from A Girl and Her Polish sadly, hers are wayyy wayy better. I have like zero dotting tool skills :P And I reallllly love her colour combo :]

Colours used:
ELF - Desert Haze
Yes Love - K011
Essie - Orange It's Obvious
Kiko - Light Grape - 292
And that's all from me today as I'm so pooped. been up 19 hours now o_o on about three hours sleep. Need sleep!

Halloween Blood Splatter

Hi all!

I know I've been slacking lately, and even forgot to add the polish picture to my giveaway, but I promise in the next week I'll try to get back to normal posting, or at least try to keep up with my reading list, which is really really huge right now lol.

Tomorrow I'm not going to be doing a stamping challenge, as I'll be chilling with my favourite girl post Halloween night out. However you might get some gore-tastic Halloween snaps :]

These are not the nails i'll be wearing, these were done a week or so back. I tried to do a straw splatter mani, but after getting frustrated, and even trying to splat with a brush handle I reached for the rough side of a kitchen sponge and went to town. I will do a straw splatter mani some day!

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: Elf - Desert Haze
Reds: Beauty UK - Purple
Essence Nail Colour3  - Kiss On Top Of The Rock
Rimmel - Celebrity Bash
Top Coat: Sally Hansen - Advanced Hard As Nails


Hope everyone's having a good Saturday! When this posts i'll be covering my face in latex and tissue getting my zombie onnnn!

Can't Wait For Fall - We Stamp On Sundays

This week's challenge over at Adventures In Stamping was a Fall look ' Can't wait for Fall'. I had an idea for this when it was announced this was the winner, but I thought it would be way, way too much effort to try and get a lightning bolt to look like a path going off into the distance - and I didn't have a tree image to stamp. So for the sake of my sanity I changed my idea :P
Base Coat: La Femme
Base Colour: ELF - Desert Haze
Other Colours: MUA - Shade 23
                           Essence Colour3 - A Walk In the Park
Stamping Colours: Manhattan - Lemonade
                                  Sally Hansen Insta-dri - Quick Brick
Image Plates: Bundle Monster BM04, BM316
Top Coat: Sally Hansen - Advanced Hard As Nails
 Here's a pic of the gradient before I hid most of the prettiness with the stamping :]

 Here's what I used:


I hope you guys like them! This is the first Insta-Dri I've owned. Well; I bought two, but this is the first I've tried. I got so excited for the idea of owning a red that'll stamp over anything, and I love it. I need to try them both over black, but for now it will stop my lusting for a red that stamps. Annnnnd this is by far the prettiest red I own. Slap a top coat over that sucker and it really comes to life, it looks so juicy!

I know I said I'd be good and be organised, but I'm not feeling well ( I know; it's just one thing after another right?!) but will have my birthday haul post up this week for sure =]

I hope you're all having a good weekend!

Elf Desert Haze Gold And Brown Leopard Print

Hey all.. Simple Leopard print today. I'm still trying to catch up with all the mani's I've done but haven't posted, so these are from a few weeks ago. I've done this combo before on a nail set, but with Models Own - Nude Beige, and I think the warmth of that shade helps tone down the brassy look of the Citadel Paint, so I'm not fully a fan of these. But I like them matte =]

Base Coat: Nai RX - Stuck On You
Base Colour: ELF - Desert Haze
Stamp Colour: W7 - Suede
Image Plate: Konad M57
Gold: Citadel - Shining Gold
Top Coat: Models Own - 3 In 1

Elf - Desert Haze, 2 coats
And here's the basee colour, the first Elf I've ever tried; and I loved it. The formula was so great, and dried so quickly! I think it's my favourite nude right now. Then I added a coat of Rimmel - Matte Finish.


Hope everyone's had an okay day.

National Pet Week - We Stamp On Sundays

This week over at Adventures In Stamping the challenge theme is National Pet Week. I knew straight away what I was going to do as I'd just recieved some plates for review from The Born Pretty Store and was excited to use them. I will be doing a full stamping review of the two plates I got some time soon, so keep an eye out for that. For now though I used the little cat image from the S10 animal plate.

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base Colours: Rimmel - Milk Chocolate
                        Rimmel - Tip Whitener
Sponged Colours: ELF - Desert Haze
                             Matalan G - Storm
Stamping Colour: Konad Special White
Image Plate: Born Pretty Store - S10
Top Coat: Models Own - 3 In 1


I started with Rimmel - Milk Chocolate, with an accent of Rimmel - Tip Whitener on my ring finger (which is god knows how many years old, but has been thinned so much now, it actually dries!) I sponged ELF - Desert Haze and Matalan G - Storm on Milk Chocolate, and Storm alone on the ring finger to represent Jazz, my grey and white cat. I then stamped with Konad Special White Polish, and added a top coat.


And as every stamping challenge goes here's what I used:
