Lace Floret Water Decal Nail Art

Hello!!
It feels like ages since I blogged last. Super busy getting crochet things made... Ive even bought a label maker. This just got real!

These dainty water decals were sent to me by Sparkly Nails. Sparkly Nails are based in the UK and stock a massive range of nail art items.

Water decals are so simple to use. All you have to do is cut the one you want out, remove plastic and then soak in water for a few seconds. Slide the decal off of the sheet and then on to your nail.... Simples!


The only thing that can make them a tad harder to use is seeing the white decal on the blue backing paper but holding them up to the light helps.


I made the ombre using a make up sponge and Moyra 912 Jacqueline and Manhattan 67N. Manhattan don't name their polishes and it really bugs me when nail polishes don't have names. I think its part of the fun (especially if they are humorous names, I'm talking about you OPI )

These decals and many others are available from Sparkly Nails

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! 

 some products were sent to me for my honest review. Opinions are my own.

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?

Something Blue

 

These are my take on the Bridal Weekly Challenge on the nail Polish Lovers Community on Google+

 

I was going to do a nude pink but I saw this Pastel Bue By Kleancolor and I thought this blue shade would make a nice change.

"Something Blue"

 

I used 2x coats of Kleancolors Pastel Blue

Lace Nail Stickers

Flat Back Faux Pearls

1x coat of Poshe

As you can probably see I smudged a few of them when I applied the stickers.

 

I have noticed that a lot of fast drying topcoats do not speed up the drying time of Kleancolor? I have no idea why?! But its really frustrating as I always expect it to be dry and make silly mistakes, like this :(

 

And I couldn't even redo it as I ran out of stickers boooo :(
