NOTD featuring Barry M Blue Moon

Hiya!


This was a forerunner for my Back to Work mani but I decided it was too plain and I needed something with a bit more pizazz :D 



Barry M Blue Moon, this is 3 coats and its still a little sheer, I think formula wise this is very thin compared to other Barry M's I have



Then of course because I couldn't leave well enough alone here it is stamped...









I used Barry M Navy for the stamping


What I used

• Barry M Blue Moon
• Barry M Navy 
• Bundle Monster BM208

Thats it lovelies, very plain and simple :D Hope you like it! I will show what I chose for my back to work mani soon!

Until next time...

NOTD featuring Cupcakes!

Hi my lovelies!

Todays mani was suggested by my good friend Sarah, she suggested a pink gradient with cupcakes and even named the BM plate I should use :D

Right hand with mini fail on ring finger, at least I tried to fix it though hehe!

The enigmatic left hand ;)

Close up arty shot and you can see the awesomeness of the glitter topcoat!

What I used...

•  Stargazer topcoat as base and top cos am a dunce!
• Poundland Starshine as the base colour (seriously the best fricking silver ever!)
• Then I sponged 17 Fairycake from about a 2/3's of the nail down to the tip
• Next I took 2True in Shade 1 and sponged that from the last 3rd to the tip
• Stamped cupcakes on ring fingers and thumb using BM13 and Konad Black
• Lastly coated every nail with the amazing WetnWild Kaleidoscope, I love this polish so sparkly and eyecatching :D

Thats it folks, thanks for all the lovely comments & new followers lately, I appreciate everysingle one of you! 

Until next time...

Final Part of Nail Art Series plus Special Announcement!!!

Hi EVERYONE! 

Here is the final installment of my Nail Art Series inspired by Blogging friends. Every single girl I have done this for has been so so gracious and really got a kick out of it and that makes me all warm and gooey inside!

This one kinda decided it wanted to be a fail mani but I still think it turned out cute :D

This one was inspired by Jennifer over at TheExoticLacquer who is such a sweetie, go check her out if you haven't already!

I decided to use feathers and peacocks for this one and silver and purple polish to give the exotic feeling to it! The purple Jen may recognise as she gave it to me in a swap!

I used 

• Sinful Colors Fiji
• Poundland Silver (thee best silver I have ever tried!)
• Konad White
• Konad Black
• BM15

NOW....

Onto the mega second super duper part (well I think it is anyway...)

For this mani I used 

• Seche Clear basecoat
• China Glaze Life Perserver
• Konad Black
• Bundle Monster Plate BM13
• Stargazer topcoat

Thats all for today folks, tomorrow's post will be a makeup post

New Nailart Series - Inspired by Bloggers! Pt3

Hiya! Here is part 3 of this weeks Nailart Series! I really enjoyed doing this one as I got to play with my new Bundle Monster plates hehe!

This one might be a bit harder to guess but when I see her blog this is more what I think of lol!

Any guesses?

This one is inspired by Neeka over at IntheLifeofaMILF!

Might not be obvious to all but this is my interpretation of a milf hehe, Princess crowns, killer heels, diamonds, kisses and bling!!!

For this look I used China Glaze Limbo Bimbo, stamped with Bundle Monster plates in Konad Black and White and for the pinky I used SallyGirl Silver Glitter

If you all want to know what plate numbers these are just leave a comment below and I will let you know :)

I have 2 more of these to do and I am loving every minute of doing them! When I show the last one I will be announcing something special so keep your eyes peeled for that ;)

Nailwheels as I had been saying they were hard for me to find here, a gorgeous card, tic tacs, OPI hand lotion and 3 China Glaze polishes (OMG) She gave me Dorothy Who, Bad Kitty and Cosmic which were all on my wishlist!

 The rest of this was all stuff I bought and paid for myself with a bit of money I used to treat myself with to cheer myself up hehe!

 I got Bullions beads, Konad Black, Konad White, Konad Stamper/Scraper set, Bundle Monster Stamping plates, both sets.

And Bundle Monster 34piece brush set, no longer do I only have 2 makeup brushes to my name lol! these brushes are really good quality and so pretty the handles are a lovely burgendy glittery colour. I will do a proper review on these soon.
