Arrow Doodle Nail Art

We have something less gross on the blog today, here is a simple nail art with a doodle feel.
I saw this image on Pinterest and it inspired me to create this nail art. Mine is no way as good mind you!

I used 

OPI Pink Friday 

Color Club Unknown (I think its Gingerbread)

Acrylic Paint 

Just a quick mani today but I am happy with it. The reverse French style would be cute as an all over mani too, 

What do you think?

Star Water Decals from Sparkly Nails

Hello!
Today I have some water decals from Sparkly Nails to show you, Water decals are so easy to use and I would recommend them to people who are not comfortable in hand painting or looking for something that is quick and easy to do but yields great results.

I chose to use some Essie polishes and gradient them, I then added some glitter to the middle to fingers!

Moyou Nails Stamping Plate and Polish Review.

A couple day ago I was sent a lovely package from Moyou Nails. I had been waiting for a while and turned out my first one must have gone walkies. 

It contained 2 stamping plates, a gold stamping polish, a stamper and scraper. 

I haven't tried Moyou Nails before (not to be confused with Moyou London) but I liked the look of the designs I was sent.

Here's my first play....

The gold stamping polish is really good. It has like a glitter effect to it, its not just plain gold. It picked up really well and showed up great against the dark background. 

The base is Vant To Bite My Neck by OPI. 

The stamper and scraper work fine and pick up well but they are not what I would usually use as I prefer the Magno XL Stamper as it is squishy.

The only gripe I have about these plates is that the designs are not wide enough for me. I don't have wide nails particularly and usually the XL images are FAR too big so I am a tad confused as to why these design are so skinny.

That is why the middle finger design is different.... But that could have been intentional lol!

All in all I love the polish and it didn't smudge when top coated so I would recommend that but the stamps seem to small. They would be great for me personally for feature nails or something as they would never be wide enough for my thumb (and I suck at lining up two stamps lol) 

You can buy these stamps, polishes and other bits and bobs from HERE

Easter Inspired Nail Art

Today I have actually managed to get a post done on time! 

This mani is inspired by Easter. I have a draw full of bits and bobs and today I chose to use the gold leaf. I highly doubt this is real gold leaf seeing as I payed about a quid for it but it looks good! 

The gold reminds me of Easter egg wrapping! I didn't want to go for the whole bunny and chick thing as that tends to be what the majority of other people are doing. 

I wanted to use a pastel shade as it really reminds me of spring. BUT I just couldn't find one that I felt went with the gold. 

I dislike gold.

Immensely. 

I used Barry M Gelly in Huckleberry and the Gold Foil Effect. I HATE the newer gellys. They are so thin! I like the thicker consistency of the others I have. They used to be great for stamping and art but that's not the case now. What happened +Barry M ?

The "gold" leaf was quite hard to get neat. I don't think its possible to get the application perfect. Its thin and a pain in the butt to use but it gives this mani an Easter twist.

What do you think? Have you ever used gold leaf?

And if you are celebrating Easter then have a great day, if not have a great day anyway!

Bright Leopard Print with Studs

Im Back!!!!

Have you missed me?

My laptop was poorly so it had to go to laptop hospital.

All is well again so here i am!

Today we have a very bright summer mani

I used BarryM Gelly in Guava and W7 in Its Pink!

I also used BarryM in Black for the print.

The W7 polish is the brightest colour I own and unfortunately I couldn't get the camera to capture the colour properly :( It is a lovely pink neon. 

The studs are from the Born Pretty Store.

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?
