Feather Nail Decals

I am trying so very hard to keep the blog up to date but as some of you may know I also crochet things for people and at the mo I have loads to do so my little blog has suffered slightly. Normal service will resume soon!

Anyway.....
I have a very simple nail art to show you today. AND I used the mysterious fan brush.... The fan brush usually comes in most nail art brush kits and I have seen a few people ask what to do with it, so here is just one thing you can do!

I used +Barry M  Gelly polish called Key Lime and China Glazes  Flying High. I then added some feather water decals from Sparkly Nails.
I then topped it all off with Mentality Matte top coat! I love Matte top coat and I just want to matte all the things!
Ive said it once and I'll say it again... If you don't like hand painting nail art then water decals are the option for you. They are easy to use and don't stick up like stickers. plus they can be cut and edited to fit any design you might want to do.


The fan brush is part of a set of brushes from Effect Beauty. For 10% off  use code LACQUER.

What do you think of this look?

Peacock Pretties

Hello my dears! 

Today has been a bit of a crap day, I have a cough that just wont go away :( 

How are you? Did you have a good weekend? 

I literally just crocheted all weekend! Oh and I picked up a couple lovely OPIs in TK Maxx. 

Anyway.........

Recently Ali from Sparkly Nails emailed me and asked if i would like to take some pictures of different manis using her products for her website. 

Of course I agreed! 

Here is just one of many designs I have been working on. 

When I saw these Feather Decals the first thing I thought of was a peacock. 

I used a thin brush to layer 4 colours over each other on the feature nails. 

To be honest it may have looked better with more purples and darker blues but I don't use greens very often. 

The water decals are so easy to use and i think they look soo good! Have you ever tried water decals before?

What do you think of this mani?

Essie Peacock

 Its our three year wedding anniversary next week and my lovely hubby bought me some very gorgeous Essie and OPI polishes from +Fragrance Direct 

Here Is Essie's Bikini So Teeny a stunning shimmering bluey grey type purple ha ha. This is the bottle I'm holding in the pic, 

Mojito Madness is the yummy green. This had a fantastic consistancy and was opaque in two very thin coats. 

and the pink is Cascade Cool. A dusky, pastel pink.

All the Essie polishes have, of course, a fantastic formula and colour coverage. 

The shimmer in Bikini So Teeny really catches the light and sets this polish apart from the few other pastel blues I own.

I used stamping plate BM-212 and used a dotting tool to fill in the centres. 

I have never met a Essie, that i didn't like :)
