Neon leaves(?)

Happy Wednesday! 

Today I have a bit of neon nail art to share. I just picked out these colours because I knew I wanted to use them, but I wasn't sure how. I decided on this sort of leaf design. 

Personally, I think that my index finger came out best and if I was to try it again, I would try and re-create that look on all the nails :-)

I used Illamasqua Rare (which you can't get any more, sorry! But any neon yellow will work) and Models Own Toxic Apple. The black is the Barry M Nail Art Pen. Obvs.

I hope you enjoy the look!

See you Friday :-)

Candy Leopard

Ever had a flash of inspiration and you get so excited and think you're awesome, only to realise that you've seen your design somewhere before and inadvertently copied someone's idea? 

I did that today!

I fancied a bit of leopard print and I wanted to make it a bit summery so I thought I'd base it around my current favourite pink Chanel May. To complete the look I used Barry M White and Beauty UK Jade and used the Barry M black nail art pen for the details.

And they look just like the Avon Cheetah Pink Nail Strips!

Sorry Avon!

I hope you're all having a great start to the week :-)

Avon striping tape gradient!

Again with the super creative name..!

Before we begin, I apologise for the state of my ring finger nail. We had a very traumatic break up and I don't want to talk about it :-(

Today's mani is a gradient with a little added striping tape detail, using all Avon polishes.

I used Lemon Sugar (yellow) Habanero It Girl (orange) and Jalapeno Fashion Show (green).

To start, I painted three coats of the yellow as my base and then waited for it to become touch dry. I also used my Elegant Touch Rapid Dry Spray to speed things up a bit, but don't use too much or your tape won't stick!

Next I added the striping tape in the diagonal lines and sponged the gradient on top. 

Finally, I removed the tape and sealed everything in with my SV top coat.

I hope you enjoy these nails. I had fun creating them!

See you Friday :-)

Color Club - Glossy Seal

Is it Friday already?! Hooray!

Today, I have an awesome polish to share with you that I received in my July GlossyBox this week.

This months box has an American theme and showcases 5 great products from America based brands. The Color Club polish was actually  created especially for GlossyBox! But don't fear, you can still order your July box at Glossybox.co.uk.

I am wearing two coats of Glossy Seal with a base and top coat - 

The polish is darker and more teal than the last picture, the one of the bottle is the closest I could get! I hate photography sometimes! 

You can check out the Color Club range at Shopcolorclub.com. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Illamsqua gradient with tribal!

If you didn't guess, today post is a gradient mani using Illamasqua polishes with some tribal added!

I love tribal nail art and I think there are so many possibilities.

For the gradient I used Load (cream) and Nomad (jade green) both by Illamasqua, and for the nail art, I used the Barry M nail art pen.

I started off with three coats of Load and then I sponged the gradient using Nomad. Then I just topped it off using the nail art pen to draw the design, and added a top coat.

I think my pen skills are improving slowly!

Illamasqua nail polishes are £14.50 each available at Illamasqua.com, and the Nail Art Pen is £4.99 from Barrym.com.

Butter London - Dosh

Good Monday everyone!

I hope you've all had a great weekend, and aren't too sad that it's Monday once again!

Today, I have a swatch of another polish from Butter London. I think I've done them all now, but who knows, random polishes turn up all the time :-)

The polish I'm sharing today is called Dosh and is: "A molten metallic apple-green nail lacquer shot through with gold"

I'm wearing two coats of colour with a base and a top coat - 

This isn't my favourite if I'm totally honest. I think it's just not flattering on my skin tone.

The formula is still lovely, as they all are, and the finish is really pretty. 

Butter London nail lacquers are £12 each available at Butterlondon.co.uk
