Nails: Dalmatian Dots

Hello All :)

I just painted my nails again (it is a daily/nightly thing at the moment!) and wanted to share.

Tonights design:

Dalmatian Dots!

What I Used:

 

17 Lasting Fix in Mini Skirt

Black Nail Art pen from the Rio Professional Nail Art Kit 

17 Nail Xtras Nail Recovery as topcoat

I hope you like :)

I am really enjoying nail art and trying different designs at the moment, so expect more to come!

I have a list of designs that I want to try.

Talking of nails: the Blogosphere is going crazy over Model's Own Hedkandi collection and in particular the Ibiza Mix polish, which I amazingly found in Chester last weekend!!

WARNING - you will want to go out and buy it!

NOTD: Pastels & Polka Dots

Happy Tuesday!!

I just got home from watching 21 Jump Street at the cinema.

I highly recommend, it was brilliant.

So hilarious that I had tears of laughter!

and Channing Tatum is in it...need you more reason to watch it???

So, last night I decided to paint my nails and do a little design...

I decided on pastels and polka dots :)

Before:

 

After:

(opposite hand)

What I used:

 Rio nail art pen from the Rio Professional Nail Art Pen Kit.

(My friend Kelly bought this set yesterday after I recommended it! I would recommend it to anyone who loves nail art!)

and 17 Nail Xtras Nail Recovery as topcoat.

What do you think?

There will be a lot more nail art to come soon, I have a bit of a list going on of designs I want to try :)

...I also have a load of other posts still to do!

Hope you are all having a nice week!

NOTD: Pink Moonstruck Crackles

Today's Nails :)

What I used:

This is very much like Barry M Silver Foil Effect polish :)

Though I do find that it shows ridges of the nail a lot...

I had Moonstruck on yesterday, then painted the pink crackle on at about 1:00am last night/this morning (I have a bad habit of deciding to paint my nails when I should be sleeping!)

BUT, as I get bored quickly and as I have been inspired by something today, I have now removed this nail polish and plan to attempt a cute design shortly...

Check back later to see if my attempt was successful :)

I have a couple of posts that I am going to do tonight, including the Harrod's Glossybox, which is currently sat next to me, waiting to be opened! Love coming home from work to a nice treat :)

NOTD: Pretty Pastels

Today I painted my nails with 17 Lasting Fix 'Sherbet Lemon' (something bright to lighten up a dull day!)

Then, whilst looking through my box of unused products I spotted a sponge that I bought last year for nail art and had not tried yet!

So, I decided to get arty :)

I tore off a little bit of sponge and dabbed on some lilac polish to start with...

 Second, I dabbed on some light pink below and slightly over the lilac...

I then finished with 17 Nail Xtras Nail Recovery as a top coat :)

Here's What I used...

I thought my nails went quite nicely with my beloved Tarina Tarantino Good Witch Tote :)

What do you think?

I am loving today's nails and am excited to try different colour polishes with sponges now :)

I went shopping today in Telford, 1. to pass the afternoon and 2. to return a dress to Topshop.

When I went up to the till, the Sales Assistant said 'I love your nails!!', I thought that was nice!

Then I went out with the lads, who didn't get my nails at all...we all know what guys are like, they don't understand, haha! But they did say my nails reminded them of sweeties.

Also, I was so happy to return to my blog when I got home tonight to find that I have had nearly 170 views of my blog today :) :) That means so much to me, it may not be a lot for some bloggers, but the most I have ever had is 90, after my blog was linked on Bourjois and the event photographers Facebook pages.

Not sure where this latest mass of views has come from, or why, but thank you all so much for checking out my blog :)

Hope you have all had a lovely weekend!!

Valentine's: Nails

I love nail art and painting my nails, as my lovely followers have probably gathered by now :)

So, I wanted to do some nice Valentine's inspired nails.

The other night, I suddenly remembered I had some red hearts in a Barry M Glitter Stacking Set that I bought YEARS ago, so tonight I had some fun doing my nails!

Barry M Glitter Stacking Set '13'

- I have had this for at least 3 or 4 years and never used :-o

Pre-hearts.

 Post-hearts <3

Ta daa :) 

My Sister decided to have a go too: 

Red polish and glitter topcoat used.

Mine and Donna's nails :)  

To create my heart nails I used:

17 Nail Xtras Nail Recovery (as base coat)

17 Lasting Fix 'Mini Skirt'

Barry M Glitter Stacking Set '13': Bottom pot, red hearts

I dropped the hearts on to the nails immediately after the second coat of Mini Skirt.

I counted 49 hearts in total on my nails (I think!), plus Donna used a bunch and the pot doesn't even look like any have gone, there must actually be a few hundred hearts in there!

This would also be good for Queen of Hearts fancy dress!

Hope you like :)
