Orly - Lunar Eclipse and guest nails (my boyfriend!)

Hello!

I was feeling inspired by some pictures I took of a super clear night sky in Gambia, plus I've been wanting to use Orly - Lunar Eclipse for ages and ages! Ugh is so beautiful it hurts. Its a stunning blue with superfine blue and purple glitter so it changes in the light from blue to purple. I couldn't capture that very well in my pictures.




I just love how beautiful and glittery it is!!! The stamping is done with a-england - Excalibur which is my all time favourite silver stamping polish! Loveee it! :) This mani actually made its first appearance on the hand of my boyfriend, who's currently in an 80's hair metal band, complete with Bret Michaels facial expressions, spandex and mullet wigs (they TOTALLY don't take themselves seriously!). He wanted the nails on one of his hands painted 80's style so I willingly obliged:


Tee Hee. Apparently he got lots of compliments!

Thanks for reading! xxx

Glitter Gal Holo and stamping!

Hello!

So I have two versions of the same mani to show you today. I ordered Glitter Gal - Red Holo and Glitter Gal - Silver Holo from Llarowe and I was so excited when they arrived that I couldn't just wear one. I was like... MUST WEAR BOTH! RIGHT NOW! AIMEE SMASH! ... It was awful. Anyway... so I ended up with a mani that looked like two really pretty manis smushed together in a way that didn't work so well. I liked them separately, just not together. However, my boyfriend thought it was cute, so I thought I'd show you anyway. Okay!

Number 1:





ZOMMMGGGHOLLOOOOO. *melts*

It's so pretty!

BWUHRWNWEMN!

BUT - they don't look too good together right? So I redid them all with the red and the stamping.

Behold:






The letters are from my glow in the dark moon calendar! I thought my nails looked ace against the black!



Before Stamping to show amazing holo glory.

Much better right?

Sorry for all the pictures, I couldn't help myself. It's just so sparkly!!!

I used:

Sally Hansen No Chip Base Coat
Glitter Gal - Red Holo (and Silver Holo for nails #1)
a-england - Excalibur (for the stamping)
Colour Club - Wild at Heart (for the hearts on nails #1)
Seche Vite
Bundle Monster BM 12.

The little rhinestones were from ebay for like... £2 or something. Bargain!
I officially love holos!!! Have you tried these?

Thanks for reading!
