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

Thank you for reading!

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 :)

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!

My exam is tomorrow! ARGHHHH!! Not looking forward to it at all I am kinda ready but not ready but ugh :( lol

I am impressed at how perfect this turned out!

Here it is :)

It shines through so nicely! What do you guys think!?

Thank you for reading :)

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!

Match Your Nails To Your Cocktail!

Hey all :)

Today I have a press sample* from Models Own! 

Models own teamed up with Midori, which I believe is a melon flavored liqueur (I don't drink! lol). They created three wonderful limited edition polishes :D I absolutely love them! 

The collection includes a duochrome, a sheer jelly and an amazing glitter...and you know best of all? All three are scented of melon which means I couldn't stop sniffing my nails!

To top it off, they are all green and I am obsessed with the colour green! all in all i'm a fan :D 

First up I have Golden Green - A wonderful duochrome shimmery gren, the colours shift from a deep green to a gold and I can see hints of a dark purple in there! Trust me, I was at the bus stop just watching my nail's shift from the colours. Pretty impressed! Also, the picture was taken after a day. During the day, I had washed plenty of dishes and even had a shower, as you can see I had no tip wear and the melony smell was still there! This was two easy thick coats which dried pretty fast!

Next up is My Midori - A sheer jelly almost more like a acid neon green (haha!) I gotta say this polish is pretty sheer, I have about 5 coats on and you can still see my nail line! ( :O OH MY!) but don't run away yet, there is a good side, each layer dried very quickly. You can definitely build it up safely with out worrying it'll get ruined. I applied this in the evening and woke up in the morning with no bed sheet marks on my nails...that's a win people. Can obviously be layered over white if you wish to make it "pop" with out adding tonnes of layers! 

Lastly, I have Dancing Queen - A glitter that not only smells yummy but has so many yummy glitters in it! From baby blue shards to green, blue, gold hexes which are small and big! Placement is needed with this glitter but thats just like most glitter toppers anyway. I didn't mind that about it. Although you may need a thick coat of top coat to smooth things out :) I have one coat over My Midori

All in all im pretty impressed, all three polishes smell lovely and the smell lasts longer than I had thought. The polishes dry quickly and the application is easy :)

This set is limited edition so hurry! The limited edition My Midori Models Own set will retail at £15 from www.modelsownit.com :)

Thank you for reading! Let me know what you think :D 

Bye for now!

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!

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!!

Crackle Sparkle!

Hey Ladies!

A few days ago I did a swatch post on Barry M's - Pink Silver Glitter (HERE) So I took this amazing glitter and incorporated it into an accent nail for an easy type of nail art...Crackle!

We all know Crackle effect has become so outdated that barely anyone uses it anymore, But recently I have been so drawn back to them that I had to do a crackle mani!

I painted my nails two coats of Essence - L.O.L then topped it off with W7 - Mauve Crackle, which is this lovely metallic shiny purple crackle effect! I am so pleased with how fine the cracks are on my nails! I only used one thick and fast stroke :)

Here it is!

It turned out so beautiful! Definitely impressed with the quality and I love the manicure :)

What  do you guys think? 

Thanks for reading!

Bye for now!
