Pastel Drip Nails!

Hey girls!

The weathers been sunny and this time of the year it's time to pull out the pastel shades!!

Personally my favorite colour of nail polish is pastel colours! I have the main five colours and I cherish them :D

I decided to paint my nails differently on each nail and after having them on for a few days I decided to do the simple drip design on it :)

Here it is! 

What do you think of this simple but so pretty design? :)

Satin Skittle!

Hey girls,

Again I've gone out and bought some more nail polish from my favorite drugstore brand which is NYC....just a side note, my mother doesn't like nail polish so every time I go home with some I get an ear full..quite annoying since I love it and I love my blog...would adore some support from her *sad rant over*

Anyways, I realised in my stash I don't own any Satin finish nail polish and I invested in some :D I bought a red, purple and a gold! I shall do a swatch post soon but first I'll show you all the random skittle mani I did with them!

Here It is!

Picture quality is terrible today, sorry guys!

If you cant tell, on my index I have random dots. on my middle and ring I have done roses. My pinky is leopard print :)

I like how this randomness turned out, what do y'all thinkies?!

In other news, I had a bet with my Mr Dork and now I have to do American flag nails (since he is 'Mercian!) sighh...on my toes too! I am not looking forward to this :P I'm gonna put it off for as long as possible...if you're reading this love...MUAHAHA this battle isn't over I will get you to paint your nails!!

Thanks for reading guys :)

Bye for now!

Red Lovable Skittle!!

Hey girlies (and Mr Dork! <3)

I was sorting out my stash the other day to prepare for the "how do you store your polish?" post and I found loadsa red shades I haven't really used together! 

Therefore, I decided to create a random skittle using the shades of red I had! 

Here art thou results :D (ooOoOo get me using Shakespearean language!)

Pinky - I decided to do a floral design!

Ring - I wanted to do something simple, so small dots!

Middle - I did a gradient and then used a purple to do a heart!

Index - Magnetic red, with a flower sticker!

What do you all think of my skittle? It was so easy and fun to achieve, I would totally do this again with other colours!

Thanks for reading!

Bye for now!

Ask a British Nail Blogger - How Do You Store Your Polish?

Hey girls!

This week for ask a British nail blogger the question is "how do you store your nail polish?"

Well, I personally have a few boxes I keep them in and in each box they are ordered by brand. It's easier for me that way because I know what colour I have from each brand. Makes sense to my brain :D

The boxes sit on my large desk in one corner like so:

The front green box contains:

Everything from my nail art brushes, dotting tools, random nail art wheels, nail buffer, stamping plates, nail wraps and some other bits and bobs!

The tray contains:

The left side all contains the brand L.A Colors which I bought most of the range since its so cheap :) and the other section contains all my Revlon nail polishes with a color club collection I bought...then there's some bits and bobs which are magnetic nail polish, some 2true shades, Sally Hansen and the Sinful Colors I bought new :)

Inside the large box (mother gave me my 19th bday present in it!!)

Such a lovely design!

This box contains:

All my Barry M, Orly, KIKO, Models Own, NYC, W7, Nicole by O.P.I, O.P.I, China Glaze (1 only!!!!) some essence, Rimmel London and some miss sporty nail polish.

In total I counted 136 nail polishes :O but its not enough and we all know it!

Thanks for reading :D

Bye for nows!

I love these pastel colours so much that I had to buy all three again to give away  to you all :D

First up is Spring Tulip, a lovely pastel pink...I'm not a fan of pink but I love this shade!

Sho Luffly :D

Next up is Raindrop, a lovely pastel blue...I know Mr Dork would love this colour (I'll paint his nails with it!!)

New nail shape :D

Lastly, I have Blue Sky...to me this is like a mint green so it boggles me that the name has blue in it! 

Bit of a mess on pinky!

This is my favorite of course because its kinda green! :D

I cant wait to choose the winner so they can enjoy these shades!

Overall, I love the brand NYC because it is affordable and they offer a great quality. These are all two coats and both dried so quickly!!

The stamp transferred great with no fault! 

Here it is :D

It was a total shame to wipe it off but I enjoyed this manicure while it lasted and I got a few compliments on it, which is always nice!

Swatcher ~ Collection ~ Shadow and Dark Chocolate Tiger!

Hey girlies,

I was looking in my stash the other day and I found a poor untried!! I had to immediately take it out and try it on :D

This poor little guy is amazing!!! I love the depth of the colour and how evenly it painted on with no streaks and full coverage in two coats...not to mention amazingly fast drying between each coat!!

This amazing untried is Collection - Shadow! Personally I think the name dark chocolate would have suited it more, it seriously looked like dark chocolate and I could eat my fingers all up!

Here is a mini swatch :D

I luffie how it looks on my nails!!

I couldn't leave this swatch plain so I stamped using Cheek stamping plate number 2 with the tiger design :D

This has got to be my fav combination of colours :D

What do you think?

Thanks for reading!

Half-Moon Flower Power!

Hey girlies,

I was looking through my stash and realised I've never really painted my nails with Revlon-Passion Fruit! I used it in a water marble but never as a base coat!

Here is what it looks like, A lovely purple pinky shade!

This is part of Revlons scented range and its suppose to smell like passion fruit....I've had this nail polish for so long it doesnt smell like passion fruit at all but more like shit fruit! :D paahahaha

And now here is some random half moon and flower manicure thingy!

So easy yet so pretty ^_^

Of course I couldn't let it just stay shiny so I mattified that bitch!

I totally prefer the matte version over the shiny! What do you think?

Thanks for reading!

Bye for nows!
