A Glossy Competition

Today see's the launch of a Glossybox competition! You guys will know how much  I'm into my Glossyboxes and if I win, I'll get the whole Muppets for OPI collection!!!!!!! 


Weee! To vote for me all you have to do is go here -http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=218105044929249&set=a.218103101596110.53175.130077290398692&type=3 - and click like! The nail design that has the most likes, wins. Easy!


Obviosuly, only do it if you actually like my nails!!!!!


Anyway, here they are - 

I used Barry M 264 Pink Iridescent, 47 Black, 302 Fushia and 119 Baby Pink for these.


- I basically started the same way as usual. Two basecoats and two coats of the base colour (either the pale pink or the black) I added a coat of the pink glitter on my ring finger for a bit of extra jazz.
- Then using a small brush, I painted the details on all fingers except the little finger, for which I used a dotting tool.
- Lastly I popped a pink rhinestone in the centre of the bow. For fun :)
- Finished off with a top coat. 


I hope you like my design! If you do please 'like' it here - http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=218105044929249&set=a.218103101596110.53175.130077290398692&type=3

Magnetic : 17

I've noticed that more and more brands are jumping on the magnetic polish band wagon, so I thought that I would too! I got three of the 17 ones from Boots, as they were 3 for 2, so they cost me £12 instead of £18, which I find a pretty good bargain :)


Here are the three that I chose - 

From left to right Lilac, Green, Blue.


And here is what they look like all done - 

I love this effect! These are with two coats (no top coat). I think the trick to getting a well defined pattern is having a pretty thick layer of polish. I admit I had to try a couple of times, as I kept touching the polish with the magnet...


So simple and quick to do too. It's all explained for you on the bottle as well, which is handy! Overall these get a yes from me :)


Have a fab weekend.....

I Heart Nails

I did some hearts today :) I've seen them cropping up in various places and thought I'd give them a go - 

Not the best ever, but as always here at WellNailed, they were my first attempt! I think with a bit of practice and more patients(!) they'd look fabulous :)

Just the two colours for this one, both Barry M 317 Blue Moon and 272 Shocking Pink.

Relatively easy, just takes a little while!

- Basecoats to start

- Then three coats of the beautiful blue

- Next add the hearts with the pink. I used a dotting tool to do this by dotting one side and dragging down to a point, then dotting the other side and joining the points together to form the heart shape. I hope that makes sense!!!

- Top coat to finish.

This is a super cute look, obviously colours and design is up to you!

Hvae fun :)

In A Bunch.

Of grapes. Obviously. Well, why not! I got a new colour and it made me think of grapes! Why, I don't know cos its a pale purple, but hey, it's just a bit of fun after all :) Anyway, here are my bunches - 

I used four Barry M colours for this look, 308 Berry Ice Cream, 161 Vivid Purple, 290 Spring Green and a Limited Edition colour which I got from Boots yesterday which looks like so - 

Silver lid. Cool.


- Usual basecoats to begin with
- Then, two coats of the Berry Ice Cream - 

- Next, I added spots of the dark purple in the shape of the bunches

- I did this using a dotting tool - 

- Then, I added the Limited Edition purple colour on top of the dark, using a slightly smaller dotting tool - 

- I did this to give the design a bit more dimension. I thought just the one shade would look a bit flat

- To finish, I drew the green stalk on using the small dotting tool.

- Top coat to seal.

Hope you enjoy these! Super easy and fun :)

See you next time....

Review : OCC

I'm sorry, two reviews in row! However, I received these two OCC polishes in the post yesterday, and I just had to show you :)
I got them from www.love-makeup.com, a brilliant website which features a lot of American brands not readily available in the UK. Now, I'd heard a lot of great things about OCC (Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, mainly known for their famous Lip Tar's) from various beauty bloggers and YouTube guru's, so I thought I'd give them a try!


These are the colours that I got - 

Look how pretty!

The colour on the left is called Chlorophyll (reason enough to buy it) and the one on the right is called Echo.

Now if you check out the swatches on the website, Echo is very similar however Chlorophyll, not so much. Not that I was disappointed, it's still gorgeous!! Both swatches are without a top coat.

Here's a swatch of Chlorophyll - 

A really, really nice colour. I don't really know how to explain it! Not green, not blue. Just fabulous really, unlike any other colour I own, so that's a bonus!

And here is a swatch of Echo - 

I can't even speak at this colour. A lovely midnight blue. The finish of these polishes is just divine, not too glossy just soft and creamy. No streaks left either. They are £6.50 (hence why I only bought two!) but totally worth it and I highly recommend giving this brand a look :)

Have a fabulous weekend!

Review : Chanel Peridot

Not kidding, I think this is the single most beautiful colour I've ever seen. It cost £17.50, but seriously worth it! Well I say that, mine was a birthday present from my lovely sister :D... This picture doesn't do it justice - 

Please go and check this colour out in person if you can! 

It's a beautiful gold with a green and blue undertone.......just fabulous.

That's it really, I just wanted to share it ;)

See you next time......
