Icecream Nails with Me Me Me polishes and The Hungry Asian Mint Condition

Hello everyone! How are you today? 

I did these icecream inspired nails using some new Me Me Me polishes I picked up yesterday - Pensive which is a lovely pale blue and Playful which is a gorgeous dusty pink. For the 'sprinkles' I used Illamasqua - Load and China Glaze - Light as Air which are both gorgeous. The lovely green is The Hungry Asian - Mint Condition over pensive which I absolutely LOVE! Mint Condition is a beauuuttiful minty green colour with different coloured small glitter shapes floating in it. It looks like mint icecream with smarties in. I love it sooo much! Mint greens are one of my most favourite nail polish colours. Looveeely.

I stamped the stripes with Konad Special stamping polish in red and used Seche Vite to affix the wee heart. Yummers.

Girly Bits Glittery Ladybirds!

Hello!

Just a quick post today.

Firstly some good news. I got my degree results! I GOT A FIRST! HOORAYYY!!!!!! Now I just need to wait on my scholarship application to see if I can go to London for my masters. EEP!

Anyway... nails...

I am in LOVE with Pam's Girly Bits. These ladybirds were done using A-england - Percival which is a stunning, beautiful red. I then layered Girly Bits - Rouge over the top. I am IN LOVE with this polish. It's a beautiful holo-y red glitter with bits of purple in. Ugh I love it so much. Then I used A-england - Bridal Veil for the lady bird details and the spots and China Glaze - White on White for their little eyes. They're SO holo-y! :)

Sorry about the pants pictures.

Yum yum yum.

Thanks for reading. I am about to post the winner of my giveaway so STAY TUNED!

Hearts and Roses with China Glaze Preppy Pink

Hello! Happy Father's Day to all the dads/carers/guardians/male role models out there. I hope you have a great day. :) 

This mani was done using OPI - Mermaid's Tears, China Glaze - Preppy Pink and China Glaze - Elephant Walk for the little hearts. I really love Preppy pink, but similar to CG Dreamsicle it chips something rotten. Poop.

Sorry this is such a short post, I'm off to see my dad to cook him a roast :)

 

Have a great day!

Little Owls!

Hello! How are you all? :) Wonderful I hope! 

So I ordered from the Cult Nails sale a while ago. I got Feel Me Up  and Hypnotize Me. I'm such a sucker for yellow that I had to try it out IMMEDIATELY! It's SUCH a pretty yellow. I love the way yellow looks on me and the formula is just great. This is three coats I think.

I also got some of the colours from the China Glaze Safari collection, one of which was I'm Not Lion (fun name) which is a beautiful, quite fine glitter with gold, red and I think some very sparse holo glitter particles. I am ALWAYS impressed by China Glaze glitters. Their formula is always amazing and they're pretty much always opaque in two-three coats with amazing formulas. I've never had a dud glitter from China Glaze. I wish other companies (I'm looking at YOU Butter London) would take note!

So I stamped the little Owl from my DRK B plate using China Glaze - Exotic Encounter and then coloured him in using Chick Nails - Gavie Green, China Glaze - White on White, A-england - Bridal Veil and Cult Nails - Feel Me Up. I also stamped on the yellow with an image from my Dashica SDP B plate using Barry M - Gold Foil. I loveeee the way the little owls turned out. Because the brown is translucent the glitter kind of comes through in the background so he ends up looking like a little mosaic or something. I just put random splashes of the green for the leaves because I wanted it to be a little bit impressionist looking. I also defined his ears with Bridal veil which is holo so it adds to that mosaic look. 

I have loads of other manis to post but I was so excited by this one that I just had to show you right away. I don't want to take it off... hence the little bit of tipwear. Also - sorry about my cuticles. I've been a little under the weather lately and it's really taken it's toll on my skin. Plus I've had a load of gigs recently so I've been playing a lot which leads to thicker callouses and chipping. Ah the things we do for art! Anyone know any good emergency treatment other than Lemony Flutter Cuticle butter that could help me out?

What do you think? I loveeeeee them. Also, don't forget to enter my giveaway! :)

Thanks for looking.

Bears and Hearts with Revlon Grape Fizz

Hello. Just a quick post today, that's all I have time for. Booo. 

This is Revlon - Grape Fizz which is a beautiful purple jelly with all kinds of shimmery flakie goodness going on in it... oh and it smells like grapes! Well...a sort of approximation of grapes which is actually nothing like grapes but is still kind of awesome anyway.

I did some nail art over the top of it, using China Glaze - White on White, China Glaze - Electric Beat, A-england - Lancelot and Model's Own - Sophie's Pink. These pictures are after a couple of days so please excuse the tipwear.

What do you think?

Thanks for looking!

In my defense I'm working on a bunch of stuff including my dissertation at the moment, so I don't feel TOO bad :)

I used:

Konad Special Stamping Polish - White

first finger - 

Model's Own - Lemon Meringue Pie

Konad Special Stamping Polish - Red

middle finger - 

Orly - Lucky Duck

Ring finger - 

Barry M - Peach Melba

Orly - Lucky Duck

OPI - Kiss me on my tulips

China Glaze - Gothic Lolita

Little finger - 

China Glaze - Gothic Lolita

I hope you like it and I hope you aren't too cross with me for cheating. On a more exciting note, me and my friend went to see Presidents of the USA last night and GOT TO HANG OUT WITH THEM! YEAH!

Have a lovely weekend.

Pruple Crumpet Fairy Spring challenge Day 3 - Small Flowers

Hello!

Hi! So today is day three of the challenge. There wasn't a challenge on Thursday. It's nice to have a break :) I am SO excited to show you these because I am SO happy with them! This is Models Own - Beth's Blue which is THE most beautiful forget-me-not blue. I am totally in love with it.

Sorry about the kazillions of pictures. I really love this manicure! I did the stripes using sticky labels cut into thin strips and the flowers with a dotting tool.

The black I used is a-england - Bridal Veil which is no ordinary black... OH NO! It's a beautiful black holo! I went over the blue with a coat of ELF - Twinkle which is my favourite glitter for that subtle tiny glitter effect. If you look at the close up shots, I managed to get a piece almost perfectly in the centre of a tiny flower. Ahhhww. :)
