Tongue in Chic Stamping

Hello my lovelies! 

Today we have some more stamping! 

As you may well already know I am a big fan of nail stamping. With just a bit of practice you can achieve very good results.

I had the mother in law around today so I showed her how stamping works using China Glaze Tongue in Chic and Konad Special polish in White.

 The paisley design is from the Happy Nails Jumbo Plate by Cheeky

Tongue in Chic is a gorgeous deep shimmery green which is a one coater! It screams winter to me and I think this is going to be a regular this year. 

I am having a right mare with my photos recently.I think the key is to just keep trying LOL and one day after a lot of practice and messing around they will be amazeballs! I even have an AS level in Photography, not much good that does!

What do you think about stamping? Are you a fan?

Black and Yellow Photoshoot!

A few weeks ago a friend asked me to design some nails for a photoshoot she was doing the make up for, of course I jumped at the chance! 

The theme was Black and Yellow and I was asked for them to be striking and quite geometric. 

I used BarryMs limited addition yellow (from Boots) and Black and Matte White. The studs are of course from the Born Pretty Store! I painted them on to stiletto type fake nails. 

Make up was done by +Charlotte Millem and the photography was done by Ben over at Ben Simmonds Photography.

The model is Tia Marie

Unfortunately I was unable to attend the shoot as I had to watch my two boys but hopefully there will be more opportunities in the future for me to attend :) I would love to do this type of thing more often. 

So without further ado here are some of the images! 

I am really proud of how they turned out and the images look totally amazeballs!! 

You can check out more of +Charlotte Millems work on her facebook page! 

Ben also has a facebook page with tons of stunning images! So pop on over to each page and share some love from the nail world! 

What do you all think? 

Velvet nails,fluffing rubbish!!!

As promised i have given the MUA nail fluff a go and all i can say is its infuriated me.

I followed the instructions on the back and its just messy and doesnt really work how i expected, maybe i need more practise but after that i dont think ill be doing it again. This picture shows my SECOND attempt! 

Even the neon Kleancolor Neon was patchy, i dont think its my night :(

Would the Sam biddles velveteen work better?

it just wouldnt bloody stick! It looks sooo messy!!

** Disheartened**
