Anniversary Rose Nails

 

 Its our third wedding anniversary today so i thought i would do a little nail art to celebrate whilst my husbands at work.

This is OPI Gouda Gouda Two Shoes. 2 Coats here with a Poshe topcoat.

It is a truly beautiful copper rose shade with a shimmer. Unfortunately you cannot really see the shimmer here and it is subtle. If you squint you can see it LOL

I used Oumaxi White acyclic paint to do the roses. 

These are my first roses ever and I think I did okay!

 I chose white as my wedding flowers were white roses.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar with New Acrylic Paints

 My son made me a very hungry caterpillar at playgroup today and i couldn't resist having a go at a nail art!

I am gutted! As i was uploading the pictures i realised i had forgotten to put any legs on the poor bug!!

 

This is the first time i have used acrylic paint instead of nail polish for a nail art. 

The white is BarryM in White.

I purchased a set of nail acrylic paint from +eBay from China. I had to wait a few weeks for delivery but that's okay as they cost £3.50. 

The brand is Oumaxi and they are really good, not too thick or thin. I found them really easy to use.

I also purchased a new nail art brush, from eBay, also from China. When it arrived it came with a Born Pretty business card so I assume its from their eBay site. 

I only payed 50p for it! The handle is made out of bamboo and it okay but i need more practice.

So do you remember this book? Was it one of your favorites?

BarryM Gelly Guava Bubbles

 This is a BarryM Gelly in Guava. A new addition to the Gelly family.

Unfortunately I the photograph doesn't show the colour as i had hoped. 

Its a bit more turquoise in real life. 

I was really disappointed with the consistency of this product. It was quite thick and hard to apply. But the colour is truly beautiful! I am not a fan of a thick polish, it reminds me of a cheap polish. 

Its actually put me off using this polish again which is sad as its so beautiful.

The bubbles are done using OPI If You Moust You Moust and Barry M Nail Art Pen in White.

O.P.I Marbled with Bow

 Here is my NOTD. A marbled accent nail with a bow, that i actually purchased from Poundland! 

I used Dutch Ya Just Love OPI and If You Moust You Moust. Both by OPI. 

Dutch Ya Just Love OPI is a beautiful purple with a subtle gold glitter. 

Perfect coverage in 2 coats. 

To do the marble all i did was used a dotting tool to mix together a few bigger blobs of polish on my nails. I love simple designs like this as they take no time to do and still look good and alot better than just plain old polish :) 

Accessorize Speckled Swatches

I purchased these from Superdrug a couple weeks ago on a 3 for 2 as i am really into glitters at the mo and I wanted to try these out.

Big apologises in advance of my TERRIBLE cuticles and side walls! Gross! No excuses, i will sort them :)

So first up is Damselfly. Here it is with 3 coats, no top coat.

 A light blue,almost turquoise with dark blue and silver glitter. This is my fave out of all three. All three polishes applied really well, i was actually surprised as i thought that with all the glitter i would get a rubbish cuticle line but in fact all these swatches had NO clean-up so that's a bonus. 

Next up is Dragonfly, also pictured with 3 coats and no top coat

 A green with blue hex's. This is my least favourite as i think this colour combination is a tad boring! 

Last up is Butterfly, you guessed it... 3 coats with no top coat.

A PVA glue style white base with red and black hex's. Loved this!

The formula was really good on all the polishes and the glitter distribution was fair too. I hate the lid on these! I have big ol' hands and its hard to use :( 

I loved the jelly type effect these had and it created depth as the glitter from the previous coats are slightly covered. 

Lovely Polishes all in all and there are a few other shades available.
