Swatcher - Barry M - Red Glitter!

Hey All!

I have a swatch for you all today :) it's some amazing red glitter by Barry M!!

I love how fine the glitters are and only takes 2 coats for full coverage! The glitter layers all dry really quickly which is always a plus! 

Here it is!






I also did a guest post over at PishPosh And Polish for Kerrie Black using this red as my base colour! 

Check it out HERE!!

33DC #crumpetsnailtarts - Tape Mani!

Hey Ladies :)

Okay, so first things first...I HATE TAPE MANICURES! Yes, hate them with all my heart! Why you ask? Well, because I have no patience for the manicure beneath to dry fully and then the polish peels off with the tape. Or when I do wait for the polish to dry and then place the tape down the stupid tape decides to peel and polish seeps underneath! 

I just HATE it! Still managed to do something super easy for today :) I'm no Nailasaurus genius at tape manis! lol!

Here it is!






How do you think it turned out? :) I dont like it much but hey I did it successfully!

Thanks for reading!




Check out the other patient ladies! :D

33DC #CrumpetsNailTarts - Most Used Colour!

Hey all :D

Day two of the Crumpets 33DC! Today it's all about our most used nail polish colour!

Personally Barry M's - Greenberry (Swatch HERE) is my favourite colour ever! I do use it more than all the other nail polishes I have just because it's my perfect bluey greeny minty colour! And the shine is just amazing :)

For today I just added a little glitter to it, using Barry M's - Aqua Glitter :)

Here it is!

(Ignore my little ouchie :( on pinkie finger!)






What do you think? Loving this colour like I am?!

Thanks for reading!

33DC #CrumpetsNailTarts - Dots!

Hey Ladies!

As you all know the 31 day challenge is going on, paint your nails everyday according to the themes! I could never keep up with that so I've joined Debbie Crumpets more laid back version called the 33 day challenge :) So you'll be getting a post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with a different theme!

Today's first theme is dots! Everyone loves dots and they are so easy to achieve! :)

Inspired by the blanket I'm crocheting I did the different colours on my nails making it look like an ombre effect then alternated the dots! :)





What do you guys think of my blanket? :D lol! And my complicated nails! lol!



Thanks for reading!

Check out the other Dot manis! :D

Swatcher - Revlon Scented - Grape Fizz!

Hey Lovelies!

I have some great news! I popped into the Pound shop to buy some tissues and was faced with a bunch of Revlon polishes! :O *gasp!* But these polishes cost so much! how could they be here for only a pound?! 

As you do, you start picking out the ones you like and end up buying them all! Even the colours you don't want (I hope I'm not the only one that does that!) 

Today I'm gonna show you Grape Fizz :) It's suppose to smell like grapes and it does! The smell is so strong that I could smell it while crocheting! Even when I added topcoat I could still smell it, I thought that maybe the topcoat would take away the smell but it had no effect on it!

I absolutely love the little fleckles in it! They're like gold and so damn shiney!

I have to warn you all that most of the Revlon Fizz Scented polishes are so very sheer, Grape Fizz took about 4 coats to make it opaque and even then the nail line was visible. I didn't mind this!

Here is the pics!






What do you guys think?! :D

Thanks for reading!

Bluey Greeny Petals!

Hey All :)

First of all it feels like i've been away for a really long time! Haven't touched my laptop in two days nor have I crocheted or painted my nails! Yup...that is what University does to you :P I bet you all envy me, right?!

Anyways, I have for you all a simple but nice (I guess!) nail art using an oval shaped brush. All I did was get polish on one side of the brush and make some stupid proof flower shapes!

Here it is!






How do you think it turned out? :)

Thanks for reading! See you all soon!

Washed Out!

Hey Ladies!

EXCITINGGGGGG news for you all! Started my first day at University today :D I had a great time with the inductions and a little quiz hunt thing! I like the Lab Group I'm in, goes by the name Mendel....you know the famous scientist who discovered genetics!

Knowing that I will be busy with University I pre-made some manicures for you all! Today's one is called washed out, you may be able to tell from the title that I did the washed out kinda watercolour nail art technique! Where you thin out the polish with acetone and paint it on your nails randomly!

I love how it turned out and think I will defo do this again as I love the effect it gives!

Here it is!






How do you guys like it?! :)

Thanks for reading!

Inspired By Birdie Necklace!

Hey Lovelies :)

Yesterday, I went out with my bestfriend, Mehrnaz! We went for a coffee at Costa! I had one of their new drinks, which Mehrnaz recommended the orange mocha or something along those lines and a toastie sammich! Then we went for Bubble tea a few hours later and omg I love bubble tea :D All in all I had an amazing time with her and I am so glad I have a great friend like her :) 

Whenever I see Mehrnaz she always gives me lovely presents! For my birthday she got me a really lovely necklace and a super colourful headscarf which I love! And some little souvenirs from Iran and Istanbul :) 

So, today's post is a (crappy!) nail art attempt inspired by the necklace she gave me! The necklace is just so lovely! Its a bird (I don't know what kind, so if you do tell me!) and just looks so lovely, I absolutely love it!

Here it is!





I tried to draw the entire bird on my nail but FAIL! :D What do you think of my attempt so far?

Thank you for reading!

Bye for now!

Brush Stroke Nail Art Dot Thing!

Hey All,

Pops for the super catchy title, I am so tired after a day out with my best friend! My legs hurt so much, walked like forever!
Been away for a few days because of lack of motivation, now i'm sipping green tea, lemon and honey and so motivated to blog!

I have a manicure for you guys today that included using a brush and dotting tool with various colours! It was pretty simple, I got the idea from Missjenfabulous on youtube where she did simple nail art. I changed up the colours and did my base coat as a green and used other bright colours here and there! Then blocked it out with black and dotted on my other fingers :)

Here it is!






What do you guys think of my attempt at nail art!?

Thanks for reading!

Bye for now!!
