MoYou Stamping Plate Review!

Hey ladies,

Earlier in the week I got an email from MoYou asking me if I could review their stamping plates...okay at first I was a little confused because I have been out of blogging for over 2 months! Lol, I never expected it, so it was a nice surprise.

I received plate numbers 103 and 105. I used plate 105 for the look I am about to show you.

When I received the plates they were covered in a protective blue cover which you remove. Also got the scraper and stamper along with black polish :)

I was really impressed with the plates, this is because the designs on the 105 plate are really thin and they transferred clearly onto the stamper. The polish itself was really good too which helped in the stamping.

I created a simple look, I used a base of Barry M - Caramel then I added glitter near my cuticles which is by Jess Polish (forgot the name) I stamped on the bow design and decided to make a decal by painting it in green :)

Here it is!

 I really like these plates, once my nails are longer I will use plate 103 since its all tip designs :)

You can find these plates HERE and HERE

Bye for now!

NOTW - Skittles and Swatch!

Hey Ladies,

Again it has been a while since I've posted something! 

This time round I decided to just show you all what's been on my nails this past 8 days or so. 

This passed week I painted my nails using glitter and stamping, made a pretty impressive skittle I think! Love the colour contrast between purple and green :) also I added more glitter on top of the tiger stamped nails just to stick to the theme of glitter! I had this on for a good 5 days :O that's a first!

Here it is :)

What do you think of this little skittle? :)

Okay, now for the next manicure. I bought one of those Jess polishes that everyone has been talking about in Poundland! I bought a green glitter one, its packed with green and gold glitter that is just so lovely on my nails! :D 

I layered Tiger Lilly (awesome name!) over a bright green polish :) 

Really impressed and definitely worth that pound! Lol!

I did paint my nails with Barry M - Papaya and layer over one of the new Maybelline graffiti polishes (review soon!) but here is a little sneek peek :)

So this has been my week or so of nails, I think I'll be doing this more often as it's more manageable for me :) What do you guys think!?

Thanks for reading and commenting!

KBShimer - Radioactive!

Hey ladies,

I hope you've all had a good week, I am looking forward to the weekend and relaxing. Been a stressful week for me in all aspects! It's tough being a student...hard to stay sane lol 

Bleh...I'm so sad that I don't enjoy blogging as often as I want to. I do my nails and have a tonne saved up to post but just don't have the motivation to do it. 

On my little break right now (doing a long ass essay on Telomeres) I wanted to share with you my second indie polish ever! :) lol 

It's KBShimmer - Radioactive, its a bright green that glows in the dark :) has a bunch of random glitters in it which I think are a night mare to fish out lol

Nonetheless, I liked it as it was an amazing present from someone close to me.

Here it is :)

I managed to get good coverage and I am pleased, I dont have a fancy shmancy camera to take a picture in the dark so if you're interested in the glow effect check out Chalkboard Nails swatch HERE

Thanks for reading ladies :)

Bye for now!

Dance Legend - Thermal Glitter!

Hey Ladies,

Missing me!? I'm posting whenever I feel like it...uni and just travelling has me feeling really unmotivated and tired that I barely open the laptop. Yesterday was such a long day for me, left the house at 7:30 and got back by 9pm and had only slept 4 hours that day. My giveaway had ended earlier that morning and I didn't even get to draw the winners until this morning!

Congratulations to the ladies that won :)!

About a week ago in the UK polish and beauty swap on Facebook Sam was selling so many beauties! And I saw she had one of the Dance Legend thermal beauties and I had to snap it up instantly! And I have to say NO REGRETS! I utterly LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE it :D and heck I kept on playing with it! Making my hands warm and then cold! Everyone I knew had to see the effect! I drove my mother MENTAL showing her! LOL

Its a wonderful one coater of a polish and dries average. I did notice that after 2 days there was some tip wear but who bloody cares!? I just love the effect more to care!

Here are my swatches :) And I was super sad to wipe it off! Dance Legend Thermo Shine 181 - It's a lovely dark red almost black on cold nails then it turns super bright red when warm! TOOOO COOOL :D

So many pretty glitters :D !!!

I absolutely love how it transitions! And this is my favourite polish so far up to date and will be my favourite for a real long time now! :D 

If any one wants to send me thermal polish I will be more than happy to receive it! lol :D 

What are your thoughts?! Thanks for reading!

Bye for now!

I went shopping with my friend the other week and we went into Superdrug and looked at the new Maybelline graffiti topcoats and boy did I really want the green one! :D She bought it for me even though I forced her not to! She also bought the blue one for herself :)

I really love it :D It really is such an amazing mix of large and small hexes as well as little bar glitters! I had to swatch it instantly!

Oh! And it's so packed with the glitter that only one coat is needed for a full coverage! Impresssssseddddd!!!!

Models Own - Velvet Goth Collection!

Hey all,

Almost Friday...WOOOOOO!!

I have good news, I finally invested in a good phone...okay my iPhone 4s wasn't that bad but damn...the Samsung Galaxy S4's camera is da bomb! lol :D

I knew I had to wait to get this phone to photograph the Models Own Velvet Goth Collection I got last week. They are a bunch of glitters, in a coloured base which dries a little matte. I didn't add any topcoat to my swatch because I don't mind the slight grittiness to it and I love matte!

OH! And I really love the fluffy texture on the bottle tops! :D reminds me of the fluff thingie powder for nails!

Here are my swatches :)

First up is Obsidian - It is a bunch of silver glitters suspended in a black jelly base, really super shiny and I love that the glitter is so dense in this polish and the rest of them! I have two coats on without top coat

Next is Valerian - A deep blue jelly with some silver, blue and fine black glitters in it. Easy coverage again in two coats without any topcoat!

Third up is Amethyst - An amazing purple jelly which I absolutely love! I can't get enough of how nice the glitter looks in the purple base! It contains purple and silver glitters in it :) no topcoat again!

Next is Sardonyx - Again, a major fan of this red jelly base! I would love just buy the jelly bases alone because they are so rich in colour! Contains fine black and red glitters! Two coats and no topcoat :)

Last but certainly not least, my absolute favourite of the collection Absinthe - A beautiful deep emerald green colour with fine green and silver glitter and large green hexes. This is just a WOW for me! I really really really love it! :D two coats and no topcoat :)

I do love this collection a lot, these are my first glitters within a coloured base and I am defo not disappointed!

What do you guys think!?

Don't forget I have a give away running :) check it out HERE

Thank you all for reading!

Roses - Inspired By PaulinasPassions!

Hey all :)

What a lovely Monday right?! I just got back from a long day at Uni and a course I took...bloody tired I tell ya!
 Let me make your day even better with the nail art I did! 

I was inspired by Paulina's Passions when I saw her roses nail art on Facebook, you can see it HERE! It's such a lovely manicure and I just had to try it out! 

I have to say that the glitter placement was a real nightmare, my hands are super shaky so every time I kept trying to add the glitters they kept going in the wrong place! Which meant it kinda turned  out wonky! LOL :D 

I decided to change up the colours in my version of her manicure and used a mint green as my base colour and purples as the roses :)

Here it is!

I really like how it turned out and defo was really inspired to try this out! I hope I did it justice Paulina! What do you think!?

Thanks for reading!

Bye for now!

Green Nude Stripes!

Hey all,

Procrastination at its best, I have an exam in four days and I'm stressing really hard but keep taking breaks to crochet, eat, text and of course paint my nails!

This morning I painted my nails with a nude polish Barry M - Caramel (my fav!) and then decided to do a stamp image over it. At first I was gonna use Barry M - Greenberry then decided to change my mind and use Watermelon instead :)

I stamped on a tiger stripe from one of the cheeky plates I own :) I added glitter to my ring finger and some silver rhinestones to the rest of my nails!

The pictures are a bit out of focus thanks to my shaky hand, hopefully I will be purchasing a new phone soon and the pictures will be amazing!

Here it is :)

It's definitely a simple manicure, but very eye catching and nice :) I do like how it turned out!

What are your thoughts?

Thanks for reading!

Here it is :)

Pretty simple :) but I think it looks great hehe!

Thank you for reading, I hope you all have a lovely year and loads of good things will be in all your paths!
