Hello Kitty


I do love a bit of Hello Kitty.


Hello
Kitty!


I started with a base colour of Nails Inc's warwick avenue which took about 5 coats to cover my nail line. I was surprised how translucent it was because it looks a lot thicker in the bottle.

Hello Kitty was stamped on in Konad SP in white and her bows were filled in using a dotting tool and Nails Inc's beaumont street.

A Rhinestone was added to embellish her bow on my thumbs and index fingers.

Groovy Baby!


This was my first attempt at water marbling. In retrospect I think I was over ambitious. I used too many colours together so the polish on my nails looks chunky and there is some bubbling. I still think it looks rather groovy though ;)


Left hand



Right hand


My thumb nail on my left hand looks most like what I wanted it to. I think I'll leave it a while before I try marbling again. Next time it'll be with fewer colours this one was so thick it took about 30 minutes to dry even with a fast dry top coat!


Peace & Love

Bella’s Choice NOTD


This is the manicure I'm wearing right now. I love H&M nail varnishes and wanted this one from the moment I saw it but convince myself I didn't need it because it was very similar to my Barry M Turquoise. Well I lasted about a week before I ran back to the shop and bought it. It's actually a lot greener than the Barry M one and it's perfect for summer.


The gold is China Glaze Khrome 2030 and I used masking tape to make the triangle shapes.




I wasn't as neat as I wanted it to be but I think it still looks good. I think it would look awesome with a tan but as I never tan I guess I'll never know for sure.
It looks better in real life, the little smudges and 'not quite straight' lines aren't as noticeable.

OPI Done Out in Deco Bows


I wore this dress last Sunday and I wanted my nails to complement it.

I went for OPI's Done out in Deco for my base colour and added bows the Konad M59 to match the ones on the dress. I know you can't see the bows on the dress very well in that picture but they're actually a really good match; they have the same polka dots and everything!



This is after a few days wear so it does look a bit rough round the edges but tip wear wasn't too bad with this polish.
It's a shame the bows did fit fully on my fingers but I think it looks alright and they did just about fit my thumb nail.



I think this manicure looked really cute. I love the formula of this polish it's quite thin which makes it easy to apply but it was still opaque in two coats despite its thinness.

Tartan NOTD

I've been away this weekend. My family went to Edinburgh to see the 3 Rifles Homecoming Parade. I've had a brilliant weekend with lots of yummy food and shopping.

So in honour of my scottish visit I decided to go tartan.


Do you like my matching bracelet? Actually it's my Mam's that I nicked (please don't tell.)



This look was created with two coats of H&M Red Nail and Konad Plate M60 in Konad SP Black. Simple but quite effective I think.


Nubar Reclaim NOTD

I love green nail varnish. I know some people don't like it, especially as a nail colour, but I adore it and this one is fabulous.


This is my first holo and my first Nubar varnish that I've tried and I think it's amaaaaazing, look how shiny it is!
This is one of my more expensive varnishes as Nubar does seem to be in the higher price range. They have such a fantastic range on colours and I'm hoping to try more soon. I wish there was more availability in the UK.
