Ombre Hearts!

Hey guys!

Valentines day is not far off! Woooo! All the love birds get together and sing! haha...

Today I'm feeling in a pretty lovey dovey mood and I know why and so does he...haha!

I just had to do something on my nails to mark off the first of a few valentines designs I have prepared!

I love how this manicure turned out and it will be a shame to wipe it off when it starts chipping...plus who knew my right hand is so artistically skilled at handling a dotting tool so steadily! 

Anyways here are the pics!!

The base colour is Essence - Nude Glam
From bottom of my nail to the top are:
Revlon - Demure
Essence - Bright Pink
Revlon - Fire Fox

What do you think?!? 

This is such a cute manicure to show appreciation for your other half's! If you try this out be sure to show me :D

Thanks for reading!

Bye for now!

Addicted To Blue Multi-Stampicure!

Hey guys!

As the title suggests I'm getting addicted to the colour blue, over the past few weeks I have gathered more blue nail polish than I have green....Seriously GREEN MOVE OUT! 

Undoubtedly green is still my favorite colour but now I have a soft spot for blue :)

I have some slightly annoying news, today I found a website with a few of my designs on it and my watermark cropped out...I decided to take action against it and I also asked a friend to help me out by making me a new watermark! He did a great job in creating the PERFECT watermark for my pictures :) Thanks buddy!

I also asked him to give me an odd colour combination and he said blue and red so I did double coloured stamping using both colours on a light base of baby blue!

Mr Dork would be super proud of these since he likes the colour blue too!! The only reason I got addicted is because of him!!

Here are the pictures!

The Sky's The Limit

Ink Stain

Fire Fox

I like how this turned out even though the red could have shown up more!

What do you think of my new watermark?? I likey it!

Thanks for reading!

Swatcher ~ NYC - Ink Stain!

Hello everyone!

Today I have a really lovely shade of blue, Its really satin looking and such a lovely deep, shimmery blue!

Been addicted to the colour blue lately since its Mr Dorks favourite colour therefore its suddenly becoming a favourite of mine...WATCH OUT GREEN!

This is a lovely one coater and I had absolutely no streaks! It dried so quickly with a high shine but I still added top coat to add that last effect!

Here are the pictures!

It reminds me of the clear dark blue sky at night! Therefore I had to nail art it with some amazing coolness and make it look like a cloudy night with the mood on show shining brightly!!

I love how this turned out and again I used my right hand to paint it! Since I'm a lefty this was hard but still majorly happy about how it turned out!! :D

What do you think??

Thanks for reading!

Puzzles!

Hey!

I HATE BEING COLD..

That's off my chest! 

So, last night I broke the nail on my index finger...on my right hand! You all know I'm a lefty so that was a bit annoying BUT that doesn't stop me from doing my nails does it now!?!

Today's manicure is inspired by another blogger Kayla Shevonne who did puzzles on her nails during her YouTube nail art week challenge that she is part of! And I thought ill give it a try myself! Click HERE to see Kayla's design!

Before I show you  all the pictures I must add my right hand is super shaky and kinda awkward, it was so hard to achieve perfect lines!

Here it is :)

I personally think this is a bloody good attempt using my non dominant hand! I'm pretty happy how it turned out :)

What do you think??

Thanks for reading!

Blue Skittle Manicure!

Hey guys!

Today marks my 100th post, I have been a bit lazy here and there and I'm pretty sure if I posted more I would've had more followers and views!! And a month from Saturday with be the one year anniversary of my blog! Yay!! Blogiversary!! 

I went out today to buy a notebook and I ended up coming home with nail polish, who would have thought that Poundland would have some Sally Hansen nail polish??? I remember buying a bunch of Revlon polishes from there then popping into Superdrug and finding the same colours on the shelf but at full price....thank the market gods for Poundland!

So having bought nail polish I had a random idea and totally went for it and created another skittle manicure but in blue of course because that's some ones special favourite colour! <3

Here are the pictures!

The leopard print is freehanded! I've yet to do a full manicure on that one so watch out!

Ignore my index finger breakage!

Yay! Penguin!

My pinky has micro beads to give the "caviar" effect and my middle finger is of course furry with the MUA fur effects (SWATCH HERE!) Used my CH2 stamping plate to stamp of the tiger stripes! I kept my thumb plain to show the lovely teal colour of the Sally Hansen polish I bought today!

What do you think??

Thanks for reading!

Water Marble Attempt #Kill Me!

Hello!

The title just says it all...this killed me! Water marbling is just one of those bloody damn techniques I cant even get right! No matter how many tutorials or bloody tips I follow I still cant manage to pull off a decent manicure! This LITERALLY took me 6 attempts! I actually nearly gave up...why? because I spilt a bottle of nail polish all over my carpet! My lovely green circle carpet now has a large red stain! 

Hell no, I wont give up! I will not allow this technique to get the best of me! 

Which resulted in this: 

Looks a bit funky and I like it! Although I wanted it to be a little more consistent but I couldn't achieve that on my index and pinky! LOL

What do you think of water marbling? I HATE IT!

Thanks for reading!

Furry Blue Nails!

Hello!

Today I have a really cool effect I've seen around, many of you know it as the velvet manicure and it uses flocking powder. Make Up Academy recently released their version of it and I bought the blue one! It's an awesome effect and it really is furry! 

I cant stop feeling my nails lolzzz really feels good to rub it on my lip :P haha freaky but seriously good

Here is what it looks like :)

Boo Boo Fluff is the name of the colour!

Its a really fine powder :)

and here it is on my nails!

Find swatch of the blue HERE!

Although it doesnt show up clearly in the pictures, my nails are actually really furry! and I can feel the small bits move when I touch it!

All in all I think this is a good product and great effect for a good price. However their could have been more in the container :)

What do you think?

Oh! before I go let me leave you with a chemistry joke :D

Bye for now ;)

Precision Murder!

Hello all!

Okay, I'm not crazy (maybe a little) but there is a whole new meaning to this.

I have been addicted to watching Breaking Bad and watching them kill people with so much precision and careful planning and disposing of the bodies by using acid has me sitting with my mouth wide open!

So the other day I was just randomly experimenting with stamping plates and different colours and there was this one combination that made me think...precision! and the red nail polish over the pale pink made it look like a murder!

This is just my imagination linking the two!

Here they are :)

Its like each dot represents the people that were killed and disposed of!!

Crazy!!

Thanks for reading :)

Green Glitter Tips!

Hey guys!

I was having a look on my external hard drive and I found a couple nail pictures I took but never blogged about because I thought they looked ugly....But then having a second look at them a month later they actually look good! Funny how looking at something the first time you make a quick judgement then a few weeks later you change your mind quick!

I'm always like that!

Anyways, here are the pictures :)

Ah, pictures are a little blurry but that is what happens when I dont have a proper camera! Soon I shall invest in one :)  

What do you think? Simple but eye catching!

Thanks for reading

Holographic Tiger Stripes!

Hello everyone!

Today, I have a manicure I am actually happy with! Its so beautiful to look at and I honestly spent most of the time flexing my nails in the light to catch glimpses of the holographic effect! The colour combination is totally awesome and I'm thinking of trying out this mani again with other colours!

The red I used is Models Own - Garnet (Swatch Here) Which stamped on perfectly! The holographic effect is from KIKI (Swatch Here) I actually love hologrphic nail polish! Id love to get one in green!

Now onto the nail pics :D

The topcoat really brings out the shiny side and its honestly really easy to achieve this effect!

What do you think?

Thanks for reading!

Opposites Attract!

Hello!

Today I have a manicure that I personally think should not work but it does! The colour combinations are not ones you would think will work, however, they work very very well!

The base colour is O.P.I Smok'n In Havana which has such a lovely shimmer to it and a silky texture and its super shiny!

On top I stamped tiger stripes using one of my Cheeky stamping plates. The colour I used is Camouflage which is a lovely shimmery deep dark green colour!

Such an odd colour combination that totally works!

Here is one pic using flash!

You can really see the shimmer coming out with the flash on!

What do you think of odd colour combinations?

Thanks for reading!
