Zebra OMG Nail Strips

Hi all.

I'm still plodding along on my family computer, and iPhone pics, but I'm not missing too many mani's so it's not that bad!

Today I'm reviewing some nail wraps from OMG Nail Strips, the ones I'm wearing here are called Psychedelic Zebra which are a really fun and bold design.

Now the previous nail wraps I have tried were quite difficult to trim (and you guys know I have slim-ish nails, and freaking tiny little finger nails), but with these strips it was really quite easy to trim, and really easy to file the excess off the nail too. All in all the application of these was really easy, positioning the wrap near the cuticle was easy enough to do even though the glue is really great, and these lasted perfectly for four days until I changed my nails up.

And these are the strips that OMG Nail Strips sent me to try out. I still haven't tried the checkerboard ones, I think I may save them for when I'm low on time but need a long lasting mani.

*These were sent to me for consideration of review*

Purple Gradient & Purple Zebra

Hi all! Happy Tuesday :]

Today I have a mani for you that's a couple of months old, these in theory should've been quite something, but I rushed it so I had some free time to spend with someone who (turns out) didn't deserve it. Should've spent more time on my nails!

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Unnatural Animals - We Stamp On Sundays

So because I got a bit behind on this week I had majority of yesterday to plan something to do. I had thought to do something inspired by a pair of socks I own, but they are leopard print, and I'd done leopard print recently so that idea was scrapped. Then I settled on some sort of rainbow cow print, but they turned out pants. So I settled on rainbow zebra or tiger, even though I used the stamp a couple of weeks back :P

I started with a base of white, and used my usual mixing method for multicoloured stamping. As always on Sunday; here's what I used :]

Can't even describe how fun these are :D I keep staring at my nails. I think I'm going to wear these until I have the serious itch to change my mani. Hope everyone's having a good Sunday! :]

Stamping Over A Gradient - We Stamp On Sundays

This week over at Adventures In Stamping the voting was a draw. This was between stamping over a gradient, and stamping using two images. So I actually voted for using two images, but I already had this mani done before the voting began... and I'm having a horrible lazy blah everything sucks day, so this is the mani you're getting!

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You

Top Coat: Models Own - 3 In 1

 

 And a pic of the gradient before the glitter & before the stamp.

I loooooved wearing this mani. The daylight was beyond crappy for photo taking though. And most of these photos turned out a little fuzzy =/

 Here's The plate I used & the polishes used also :]

I hope everyone's had an alright Sunday.

China Glaze - Frostbite Blue & Black Zebra

I was totally stunned by this colour when I first got it, and clearly still like it now. It's so bright, and so shimmery. but it really comes alive when a top coat's applied. These photos really don't do it justice as it was a blah day out. And my nails look longer here, because they're from a week back :]

Two coats

 

P2 Pink It Up Chrome Zebra Konad

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base Colour: P2 - Pink It Up
Stamp Colour: China Glaze - Millennium & N.Y.C. - Foil For You
Plate: Konad M57
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

And a quick swatch pic. This is one of the polishes that I won in a giveaway, the formula is so so good. It goes on so smooth and perfect the chrome actually had a bit of a problem sticking. From now on I think before stamping with a chrome polish I'm going to do a thin base coat over the colour to help it stick.
