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?

Cadillacquer Seek the Fire with Stamping

A quick and simple mani today using one of my favourite brands, Cadillacquer.

Cadillacquer polishes are so unique and I love pretty much all of them. They have colour combinations you wouldn't necessarily put together but always look good. My fave indie polish of all time, Masterpiece, is made by Cadillacquer.

piCture pOlish Aurora

Can I start off by saying that I have in no way done this polish any justice. I took around a bazillion (that's a real number I promise) pictures in so many different lights but I still couldn't capture the pure beauty that is Aurora.

Join me for some picture spam and lots of "ooo's and ahhhh's" after the JUMP!

Mylar Nail Art

Heres a new one for me.... Mylar.

I first heard about it years ago when I was working as a nail tech but I had never tried it.Until now!
I know Mylar can be great encapsulated in gel or acrylic but I was unsure how to use it with polish.

This is shade Iridescent Hot Pink and in the bag you get 5g but that is loads!

I basically just put it on top of wet nail polish to stick it and then topped with topcoat. 2 coats needed at least. If you are one of those people who don't like things sticking on your nails then this wouldn't be for you at all.

I really like this Mylar. Its pink but also looks blue and even Orange sometimes. I think it adds a unique dimension.
I was in a massive grump doing this nail art so as you can see its not my best. I just hate Rose Hip by +Barry M . Its streaky and hard to apply. It gets me in a rage every time I use it! I just love the colour though... Anyone know of any alternatives?

I used a darker pink acrylic and a nail art brush from Effect Beauty to do the squiggles and dots.

You can buy the nail art brushes and Mylar from Effect Beauty. They sell everything you could ever want in regards to nail art plus you can get 10% off using code LACQUER

Like I said Mylar may not be for everyone but sticky up bits don't bother me and I rather like it.

Love Skittle Nail Art

This mani is super cute, even if I do say so myself :)

This is a skittle mani a la Nailasaurus, as you all know I love +The Nailasaurus.

 She is a real inspiration to me :)

I got sent these really lush Love charms from Effect Beauty. The feature a little diamante and I really love them. I did bent them a little to get them to sit flatter but I think it would probably sit better if I had bigger or longer nails. 

Doing different nail arts on different nails is quite fun as you get to try out different designs and see what you like :) 

I used BarryM Rose Hip for the base, I really dislike the formula of this polish.

 Intensely.

I also used Zoya Areej and Barry M Dragon Fruit. 

What so you all think? 

The Love charms are available to buy from Effect Beauty and used LACQUER at the checkout for 10% off.

Yume Lacquer Let's Positive Thinking Swatch and Review

FINALLY I have finished all my crochet orders so I am now on full speed ahead catching up on the old blogging!!

Today I have, what I can only describe as, a grown up polish! This polish makes me feel so grown up and elegant.

 Plus I love the way it looks on my nails. 

I think it really suits me :)

Without further ado this is Let's Positive Thinking by Yume lacquer.

Bottle shot ^^

Its a chestnutty yummy warm brown with a purply pink micro glitter. Look at how grown up and elegant it makes me lol! 

The formula is great, two coats shown here with topcoat. 

The glitter isnt grainy or anything so thats great too. 

I love this. REALLY love it! If I had to go and be taken seriously somewhere this would be the polish I would wear.

What do you all think?? 

Yume Lacquer is available through ETSY and go and show some love on her FACEBOOK and say I sent ya :P

Guest Post For PishPosh and Polish

Today I am over at PishPosh and Polish with a very girly mani!

Kerrie was on holiday so had other (lucky) bloggers fill in for her! 

Go check out my post and others HERE 

Dotty Daisies

I am in LOVE with dots at the mo. Ever since I got my Pro Plate 10 from Moyou, every mani has dots on LOL! In fact i am just about to put them on my feet!

The photo of this sucks... I ended up having to take a pic of this at night and I just couldn't get a great shot but I just have to put it up now, I cant wait!

As you can probably see that I only went and bloody knocked the middle bubble charm! Some night nothing works for me at all! 

This is Aquadelic by China Glaze and Konad in White. 

Aquadelic is a stunning greeny blue type bright pastel. One of my new fave polishes. I am holding on to the summer by using bright colours for every mani but to be honest I love getting to use my darker colours.

I love the fact that this polish matches the bubble charms EXACTLY! 

Like I have said I love this mani, would be perfect for spring! 

I have used Bubble charms before (HERE) and they are super easy to use. Just dont move them around too much after they are placed otherwise you run the risk of effecting the image. 

You can buy these Bubble charms from Sparkly Nails
