Marcus Manis- Abstract Dark Wing Nail Art

Marcus did this nail art so long ago but I completely forgot to post it up, sorry! So don't go thinking I got my claws back because i haven't *sob*

We didn't really know what to call this. It started as a sort of butterfly wing type pattern but I am not really sure now LOL!
But whatever it is I love it!

He used OPI Russian Navy as the base colour than added the design using acrylic paint including some yummy metallic silver paint.

What do you think of this design and what would you call it?

Pegasus and Butterflies Nail Art

I love a good bit of stamping. I cant stand it when people say stamping isn't real nail art. It is real nail art folks and its fantastic! So many options with colour and decals you can pretty much achieve anything! Plus it can be a quick way of adding nail art to your dominant hand!

Today I chose Hare Polish Pegasus and plate MZR-O7. I used Konad Black Special Polish and my Magno XL stamper.

I waited before top coating (using Out The Door by INM) and even floated it over but it still smudged the beautiful butteries. 

I used 2 coats of Pegasus and it built up a lovely glitter density. Its a jelly finish so you get to see all the glitter floating around in the lush pastel purple base.

What do you think of this nail art? Do you own any Hare Polishes?

Wedding Nail Art

Todays is our fourth wedding anniversary :)

We got married in a small registry office whilst I was 36 weeks pregnant. Not a shotgun wedding I swear :P

I did a nail design based on the colour theme and the outfits we wore.

I thought I wore a straight neckline but turns out I wore a sweetheart one haha! 

The butterfly sticker from Nail Stickrs represents a butterfly broach I wore gifted to me by my nan. 

The butterfly is beautiful and glittery! Also its not really thick so sits on the nail nicely.

I used Moyra 87 and Manglaze Mayonnaise for the purple and white and acrylic paint for the rest. 

Unfortunately the picture isn't the best. 

Sometimes its a battle and sometimes I don't win. 

Heres to more years together!

Butterfly Lace Nail Art

Today I have some nail art, Yay! 

I have been using stamping quite a bit recently but I want to start getting back into hand painting nail art again. 

I have been super busy with another project recently so I haven't had much time for my own nails. So here's an easy one for me today, ease me back in :) 

This design actually started off being a tribal but I changed my mind lol! 

This is OPI's Vant To Bite My Neck? and Sick Lacquers Butterfly Effect. 

The glitter really sparkles against the dark purple. 

The formula of Vant To Bite My Neck? is really good, pretty much a one coater. Its a dark plum purple. Love this shade, I think it will be used a lot this winter. 

Butterfly effect has slices, circles ,diamonds and hex holographic glitter suspended in a clear base. It even has cute little butterflies in! I took a singular butterfly and place on my accent nail. 

The white "lace" is acrylic paint. I find it covers darker colours better than using nail polish. 

So what do you think? Are you ready to embraced the autumn/winter shades?

Sick Lacquers Nail Mail!

OoOoOo new pretties! 

I was blown away by the last polishes from Sick Lacquers, the colours and the application were top notch. I loved them so much i could resist putting in an order! 

Here I have 9 new polishes from the indie maker. These can be purchased HERE 

Butterflies & Roses, Mysterious Ways and Grape Juice. 

 Butterfly Effect, Pastel Fusion and Cotton Candied 

Scatterbrains, I Pink I Blue Up and Lavender Lover. 

WOW! I was so happy unwrapping these. As you can tell I am really into the whole white base with glitter thing at the mo! 

I have tried a few out and love them all but I think my faves so far is Butterflies & Roses and I Pink I Blue Up. 

Butterfly Effect is so glittery in real life and I cant wait to get that on!

So which one do you like the best? 

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. 

Buy from Superdrug HERE for £3.45

Butterfly Desire

I received a lovely bundle of goodies from Viva La Nails so I decided to use some of the butterfly's to do a lovely bright design.

Essie, as always, goes on like a dream. I actually love the Essie brush and lid. Makes the polish easy to control and means I never need to do a clean up after.

I loved this design so much its also on my toes!

I used Fear and Desire by Essie

Butterfly's from Viva La Nails

Gold floral water decals from Born Pretty Store

Dots are done using Barry M Nail Art pen in Black

Poshe Top coat.

So what do you think of this design? Do you like wearing bright colours?
