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!

Purple Crumpet Fairy Spring Challenge Day 22 - Butterfly!

I really liked this until I saw how awesome all the other blogger's butterflies were!  Lots of them did butterfly wing nails which I've never seen before and are simply stunning! 

So - for this I used Revlon - Watermelon Fizz WHICH SMELLS LIKE WATERMELONS!!! A lot of people seem not to like the smell, but I love it, and I have the same problem that I had when I wore  Revlon - Grapefruit Fizz - I keep smelling my fingers and looking like a weirdo! :)

Anyway, I love this colour - it's really bright and juicy and squishy and makes me look really tanned! I took some pictures in the sunshine today! That's right... SUNSHINE! In dreary old Plymouth! I'm going to go out and enjoy it later, once I've written some more of my dissertation (boooo).

Look at the pretty gold shimmer!!!

I used:

Revlon - Watermelon Fizz

Konad Special Stamping Polish - White

For the butterfly - 

China Glaze - White on White

Rimmel - Strawberry Fizz (also scented - like Strawberries!)

Hot Looks Collection 2000 - BMX Bandit

Sinful Colors - Island Coral

Kleancolor - Aurora  

I used the Kleancolor to do the teeny tiny bit of glitter on the butterfly - I managed to fish out a single piece of large hex glitter to put under the pink spot. I'm quite pleased with myself about that ^_^ The butterfly is done freehand with a teeny brush and some dotting tools.

Snowflakes and Glitter!!!

So after putting my Christmas decorations up today I was inspired to do some mega Christmassy nails. I used:
Barry M - Matt White
Chine Glaze - Ruby Pumps
Miss Sporty - Unnamed Purple/lilac
China Glaze - For Audrey
China Glaze - Lorelei's Tiara
Collection 2000 Hot Looks - Fruit Loop
Collection 2000 Hot Looks - Fruit Salad
Beauty UK - Black

I used a tiny brush and dotting tools for the stars, snowflakes, dots and the reindeer, and some little rhinestone hearts from ebay on the ring fingers.

I think my photos are getting better! I could do with some protips though! Maybe I will ask Father Christmas for photoshop. In the meantime, does anyone know of a free editing alternative?
