Snap CRACKLE Pop!

Through a miss-read description on eBay I ordered WAH Nails special edition crackle nail polish for Models Own, in Pink!

I had thought it was just your bog standard nail polish! However this is the best crackle nail polish I have ever used, it never fails it works EVERY time perfectly. Even if you accidentally apply unevenly the product still produces great crackle effect. The great thing about it being pink, means that I can play down the effect or play it up dependant on the base colour. Here I decided to go for subtle using a light mauve shade from Barry M, and then using a corresponding match to the crackle in block on my ring finger.

Super easy to do, took about 15minutes to do, and it looks great!

Animal Print

This design is super easy to do, simply pick two tones of the same colour, one light one darker, here I chose pink tones, paint darker base and add splodges of the lighter colour, then add black detailing and for extra sparkle add some gems if you wish!

Feeling Heroic

A little different for a catch up post, I've been neglecting my blog a little. But in honor of the hype of super hero films out at the moment, like Man of Steel I played around with some makeup to create this superhero style look.

Super easy, just using various eyeliners and eyeshadows blending them together to create a smooth airbrushed look that fades out to make it look like its infused onto my face. I often do things like this when bored or wasting time, I am the worlds best procrastinator. This is the result of today's procrastination. Hope you like it and keep checking out my blog for more updates.

Art Deco - Greats Gatsby.

Inspired by Great Gatsby and Art Deco my sister asked me to paint her nails she found a fellow blogger (breadbutterchampagne.blogspot.ca) who had done an Art Deco take on a french mani. Having found this image asked me to replicate the design.

Smooth Sailing

I recently went on eBay to find Essie nail polish without paying £8.99 a bottle. I know that the colours that come up on eBay won't be the latest ones and I'm fine with that as you can still get your hands on beautiful shades even if they are a year or two old. I like to consider them Essie classics!
I already got my hands on Tour de Finance in T J Hughes for £1.99 and I love it, and now managed to get my hands on Smooth Sailing off of eBay for £1.59, although it is mini size it packs a lot of punch in colour!
A mauve shade with blue undertones its finished with a silver shimmer. Its formula is nice and thick without being gloopy so perfect for a quick one coat if in a rush! Im loving Smooth Sailing.

Doodles on Pink

Playing around I was trying out various ideas and doodles ontop of pink and peach toned polish. I particulalry enjoyed doing the clash of Barry M Bright Pink with Greenberry spots on top. Yet again being inspired by Wah Nails I tried a diamond design which is really cute for maybe a ring finger design.

These are all super easy to create with a dotting tool and a nail art pen.

3D Deco Pastel Nails

Following up from the previous post on pastel nails, I decided to work on that same nail art wheel and go down the 3D deco style nail. After all everyone likes a little sparkle and bling in their lives. I buy the gems, bows and pearls off of eBay. The bows and gems come in dosset boxes separated by colour which is super handy, there are plenty of options to find on eBay if you type in 3D nail accessories, you can buy all kinds sof bling to sparkle up any nail design. I did an array of design from really blingy to more subtle to suit all preferences. Whilst keeping it pastel and pretty.
