Water Marble Nail Art Decals

I feel so proud of myself right now! After 5 hours of practise I finally got water marbling to work for me!

I sat at my table last night and and just messed around with the polishes I had, I also got some great advice from Tracey from Bite No More. I found that my Essie polishes worked best and that's what I used to create this look.
The main thing that has put me off marbling in the past is the mess. It looked so much hassle and so much clean up. Then I saw @yagala on instagram making a water marble decal and I knew I had to try it! @Yagala also has a YouTube channel which you can see HERE

Halloween Nail Art Fail

Of all days to be having an off day it had to be Halloween!

I have been planning in my head loads of different designs all week but I just haven't had time to do them :( 

So this is what I ended up doing......

It doesn't really help that the photos are crud. I think today is just one of those days! 

BTW that's supposed to be a witches hat on my index finger LOL

I will spend today looking at all the other beautiful manis and hanging my head in shame :(

Summer Citrus

This is my first time using Fimo Canes. I got these sent to me from Nail Delights. They came s a cane not pre-sliced so I had to cut them. I used a Stanley knife, and man was that hard! I think with practice they will become thinner and even shaped.

The design was really let down by the nail polish I used. I had to redo a few nails and it didn't really come out as I had hoped.

I used Manhattan shade 3 for the peach colour and InVogue Hi Res Glitter in Feeling Fruity for the glitter.

The Manhattan polish is a nightmare to apply! I used FOUR coats and it was still streaky!

I also used gold studs from the Born Pretty Store.

I loved working with the Fimo Cane and I have another one from Nail Delights that I am itching to try.

You can buy the Fimo Canes from Nail Delights  HERE

Nail delights also have a awesome range of nail art supplies and my current favourite thing....water decals!

You can buy the InVogue Hi Res Glitter from Oh Beauty HERE

I really feel like I could have done this design better but as I am sure you know we all have days where nothing seems to go right!

:( :( :(

*some of these products were sent to me for an HONEST review. The views on this product are COMPLETELY my own.*

InVogue Desire & Feeling Fruity

 

 I was finding it hard to decide on a shade last night so in the end i just had a play with two of my new polishes from +Fragrance Direct 

These are InVogue Hi Res Feeling Fruity and Desire. Desire is the pink.

The glitter is SO beautiful and its very shimmery in the light and i especially love the fade.

I have tried to capture to glitter but its so hard!

The stamp is a Cheeky stamp from +Amazon.co.uk. Part of the Summer 2012 range

 

Sinful Colors Island Coral Swatch

 

 Sinful Colors 3x Coats of Island Coral

Lumos Top Coat

This is such a summer colour and i can see coral shades being very popular!

I wasn't that keen when i saw the bottle but for £1.99 i couldn't resist it!

On the nail it is lovely though, an orangey pink shade.

 

 

This has got me in a summer mood :)

 

Purchased from Boots

Does Myleen Have Klass?

Time to try some nail wraps. Ive seen nail wraps for sale everywhere and there are so many different types and a few differnet types of application.

Myleen Klass nail wraps require no heat to apply and come in a pack of 24 for use on fingers and toes.

they were actually very easy to apply and looked lovely on, can you hear my suprise? :)

The only problem i had with them was that there wasnt ebough of the size i needed. There is a strip included so you can cut your own or you can trim one of the other wraps.

A nail file is also included.

The glitter also looks fab and the wraps are lovely and shiny

The next day they did start to come away at the free edge so maybe a topcoat run over the edge would help.

But all in all they would be fantastic for a night out and i applied them in 10 mins so a very fast application!

Good Job Myleen
