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?

Life in Lacquer Nail Art Challenge: GEOMETRIC

I am bowled away with the amount of people taking part and the positive feedback I have received! I have already found loads of new bloggers and nail artists, how about you?

Today's prompt is one of my fave nail art looks of all times. Geometric.

I actually did another look for this originally but I hated it so I did another. I had so many ideas but when I tried to do them they weren't turning out how I planned... One of those days where nothing went right LOL!

Glam Polish She Had A Lipstick Taser 

I love this polish! The base colour, the pink glitters, the crelly effect... EVERYTHING! Look at the way the glitter gives this polish so much depth. The hex glitter is very irregular in shape but I don't think that detracts anything from the polish.

I again used Nail Stickrs for the nail vinyls and Konad white stamping polish to do the designs.
The ring accent finger is Moyra 102 and I hand painted with acrylic paint for the pattern.

What do you think of my take on geometric? See others post from the #lifeinlacquerjuly challenge below and why not share some love and go leave a them comment :)

KBShimmer Full Bloom Ahead and Stamping Decal

Its a white crelly. 

I instantly love it. 

I then matte it.

It reminds me of a speckled egg. 

I love it even more.

THE END!! 

Hahah said polish is Full Bloom Ahead by KBShimmer. Its a white crelly featuring loads of glitter of different colours and sizes. 

I needed three coats to make this opaque but you can still kind of see my smile line. I don't mind this though as its not like super noticeable. The glitter distribution is good too, no fishing.

I then made a stamping decal using some acrylic paint in green and Cheeky Plate CH33. I do mine actually on the stamper instead of on a sheet of plastic. I also do not use topcoat to make them as I find its too much faffing and messing around and I always mess it up. After I have made the decal on the stamper I leave it to dry then stamp it on nearly dry polish on the nail and Tada. 

After all that I matted it all using my new topcoat by Mentality. This top coat is bloody great. It drys so much faster than my Orly matte topcoat and theres none of that bloody streaking. I recommend this to anyone. 

I think this looks really good and its been a while since I have made a decal too. 

What do you think? 

Polish Me Silly Pinky Swear I'm a Star Thermal Indie Polish

Today I have another beautiful thermal polish by Polish Me Silly! 

I LOVE THERMALS!! 

My nails are at that length where you can see the transition all the time so I get the gradient effect which is great.

This is called Pinky Swear I'm A Star.

 Its a pink when cold and white when warm polish packed with glitter, this includes pink and green stars!! 

This is the polish when cold.... 

Its pink.... and I love it! I think I may have been converted to pink as recently I have been wearing it quite abit! 

This is a funky bright pink (brighter than the pics) and I really like the green stars with this! I love pink and green together! 

Here is the polish warm...

AGAIN I love this shade too! You can really see all the glitter and who doesn't like a white crelly!!??

Transition shot..

I <3 it!! 

and finally the bottle shot (cold) 

I really love this polish. The formula was a little on this thicker side but in no way messed up my application. I used three coats for these pics and one topcoat. 

The stars of course can stick up a bit but that doesn't bother me at all. 

Its a funky bright polish perfect for summer!

What do you all think of this?? Are you a fan of thermals? 

In other news my new bulb came SMASHED! annoying!

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?
