Red Nose Day Nail Art

I haven't been blogging much lately coz I've been so busy and a little uninspired. 

I have so many ideas but never get around to doing them.. or sometimes the idea is amazing in my head but turns out meh... and sometimes the mani is amazing but I never get around to taking a good picture and then BAM! I chip a nail! So really its a combination of things.

I put my foot down this time. I did the mani late last night cleared my light box and made sure I got a few pics of my mani. The pictures aren't perfect but my little kitty Draco was attack my feet so I think I did really well considering! 

Anyways, enough babbling from me onto the nails!

I wasn't going to do any nail art for this but my 6 year old cousin was crying because she never got a red nose this year, so I created one on her nails for her! :-D 

Then I went crazy on my own nails aswell. 

Polishes I used:

Duri Rejuvacote

No.7 Devils Delight

Barry M Matte White

Black Nail Art Pen

Essie Good To Go Topcoat 

That is it for today, thanks for reading!!

P.S. what do you think of my new nail shape? I miss my square nails but they chip on the edges so bad I had to go for this. 

Daiso Holographic Polish

Today I'm going to show you my favourite pale pink/salmon coloured holo polish. I brought this nearly 2 years ago from a friend in Canada and I love it. 

It is a scattered holo and as you can see from the pictures it has a pretty strong effect. I used 2 coats with no base coat and no topcoat.. (I was having a very lazy day). It dried within 10minutes. 

I believe Daiso is a Japenes drugstore...but to be honest I really don't know much about this brand at all so don't quote me on it. This doesn't have a name but instead has a number.. the number to this particular colour is 3. 

Pictures were taken with the camera flash on and my nails are longer because these picture were taken a long time ago. 

 On to the pictures...

L'oreal Mysterious Icon 805

L'Oreal Mysterious Icon is a brownish/greyish/purplish polish with a gold shimmer. It is totally unlike any other polish I own in my stash and I have to say I am in love with this shade!! 

The L'Oreal Color Riche polishes are very small with only 5ml of polish but they have super wide brushes and I'm surprised to say I actually liked these. I'm usually more of a thin brush kinda girl but these made application super easy! 

I have on 2 coats of L'Oreal Mysterious Icon on top of 1 coat of Rejuvacote. I didn't end up using any top coat beacuse this dried very quickly. Only down side to these are they cost £4.99 for only 5ml.

On to the picture...

Macro shot

 I really am like L'Oreal polishes at the moment and I have to say their formula is really good. If the price is too much you could always wait until there is a 3 for 2 offer on at Superdrugs or Boots.

Thaks for reading!!

Revlon Emerald City

Today's post I am showing a matte polish from Revlon called Emerald City. 

It is a emerald green colour with a shimmer and drys matte. I found the formula really easy to work with ad there wast much dragging which matte polishes have a tendency of doing. The matte finish isn't as strong as I expected but this still looked lovely and I really liked how it looked.

The finish reminds me of Manglaze polishes ad makes me wonder how close it is to Nawesome Sauce... unfortunately I don't have that so I can't do a comparison.

Lets take a look at the pictures...

With one coat of Seche Vite

Thanks for reaading!!

Purple and Blue Animal Print

Today I have some animal print nail art. The idea for the colours I chose came from an outfit I have which has purple with blue spots. I thought the colour contrast was awesome and would lovely as a leopard print design. 

It came out better than I expected...

Polishes I used:

Essie 3in1 Base

Nails Inc Chapel Street

Milani Fresh Teal

Max Factor Onyx

Seche Vite

To do the leopard print design I used a dotting tool and nail art brush. I chose an accent nail of black zebra print, I was thinking of using a stamping plate but felt it would flow with the other fingers so I painted it by hand using a fine nail art brush. 

It is pretty simple to do but looks awesome!

EPIC Galaxy Nails!

Today I'm going to show you the nail art I am most proud of... Galaxy Nail Art! 

So like it took me a while to decide how I was going to do this, there are so many amazing galaxy nails out there I just couldn't decide. But in the end I went for this....

Mattefied with Flash

With Topcoat On Top, No Flash

Polishes I used: 
Max Factor Onyx
OPI Yoga-ta Get This Blue
L'Oreal Rebel Blue
Barry M Blue Moon
Barry M Matte White
Sally Hansen Insta Dri Lightening
China Glaze Fairy Dust
17 Matte Topcoat
Seche Vite

I used a sponging for some parts, a fine nail art brush for the stars and a dotting tool for the different planets/stars.
In real life this looked amazing mattefied, I couldn't capture that in the pictures but it was much more awesome!
When I finished I was in love with it! I didn't want to take it off!

What do you think? Epic? Or is it just me who thinks it is?

Thanks for reading!!

This is supposed to look like roses but they didn't come out quite as I hoped but were very pretty none the less. All the detailing was done free hand using a fine nail art brush. 

Apologies for the dry cuticles I forgot to put on some oil. 

Polishes I used:

Essie 3in1 Base
