Pink Wednesday

I've got a Pink Wednesday for you today. I'm really getting back into the blogging swing of things, it's a shame summer's nearly over though! I'm back to school in 2 weeks, I'm excited though, looking forward to working in the spa and doing (and getting) full body massages (YES PLEASE), not excited about the early mornings though. :P

Anyway on to the nails, just a simple one for this pink Wednesday. I have Barry M Fuchsia as my base colour and BM20 stamped with Barry M Gold Foil. My nails are a bit to big for this stamp, so I just stamped it in the centre of each nail and left a bit of pink on each side, I think it makes my nails look slimmer, haha!

Summer Gradient

I'm baaaaaaaaaaack!

So I haven't posted in a disgustingly long time, I blame college and having to have short unpainted nails for it! Oh the joys of training to be a beauty therapist. When I go back in September though I'll be learning acrylic and gel nails and the likes so I'll be blogging about that, wooooh! So excited about that! 

Anyway on to the nails, over the summer all I've had on my nails is Essie Mint Candy Apple (OBSESSED) or another pastel colour, nothing really blog worthy in my opinion. These nails are pretty much the first time all summer (and it's nearly over) that I've done anything remotely creative on my nails, I almost can't deal with how non-pastel they are!

Polishes I used where:

Barry M - Bright Purple

Miss Sporty - unnamed pink polish

Accessorize - Orange Flash

Miss Sporty - unnamed yellow polish

Going Dotty

Hey! I'm stuck in bed with such a terrible cold, this is why I hate winter! It needs to be sunny and hot all year round, yeah I definitely need to move... Anyway, time for my Pink Wednesday post which I think is super cute, although I might be a little bias ;) The tips are Barry M Fuchsia with some neon pink Miss Sporty polish on top, then I used Konad Special white polish with BM-19.

My First Pink Wednesday In Ages...

Hey! I have't done a Pink Wednesday in ages, oops! I blame college and not being able to wear nail polish there :( With this mani I started off with Barry M Strawberry Ice Cream, then sponged Barry M Bright Pink and Revlon Bubble Gum to make a nice little gradient effect. I put a nameless Bourjois glitter on the tips too, because I love me some glitter! I also used Barry M Silver Foil with BM-223. I really need to stop taking my pictures in the evening, I end up having to use flash which is completely PANTS and you can't see the details clearly!

Smelling Of Roses

Hey! Two posts in two days, aren't you guys lucky ;) I've had such an obsession with grey nail polish recently, I just feel like that's the only polish that looks good on my short nails. I don't know why but when I look at this mani I think of Quentin Tarantino, which is a bit weird. The grey is an unnamed H&M polish, the pink is Revlon Bubble Gum (which is scented) and I stamped BM14 with White Konad Special Nail Polish.

Cute As Cupcakes

I can't believe I haven't posted in a month! It makes me sad! The reason I haven't posted in aaaaaaaages is because I started a college course and I'm doing beauty therapy! Which is pretty excited, but I'm not allowed to have my nails painted and my nails have to be kept short :( So I haven't really bothered with my nails and when I did do them I never took a picture of them. I have a few manis to upload over the next few days though, gotta get into the blogging swing again :)

The purple is Gosh Wild Lilac, the plate is BM14 stamped with White Konad Special Nail Polish and the cute little pink gems are from ebay.

The cupcakes match my pyjamas! :D

Late Pink Wednesday

Hey! I'm so bad at posting my Pink Wednesday nails on Wednesdays, oops! But better later then never eh? For this mani I was inspired by Vettelicious, as I always love her mani! Mine looks no where near as good as hers though. A few of my nails were a little messy and didn't like how they turned out, but I did like the polka dots and glitter! Polishes I used where Missy Sporty nameless pink (Y U NO NAME POLISHES?!), NYC Prince Street and Accessorize Ruby Sparkle.

Left hand:

  Awkward hand pose is awkward.

Right hand: 

I really hate the scar on my thumb :/

I ordered some more BM plates and they came today (YAY!), I'm so excited to try them all out!

Yet Another Pink Wednesday

Hey! Just a quick little post today as I'm very sleepy and off to bed :P For this Pink Wednesday I did a base colour of Rimmel Grey Matter, whipped Essie Super Bossa Nova (LOVE!) in a curved fashion on top, then finished it all of with a fimo flower.

I have my first ever driving lesson tomorrow and I'm SOOO NERVOUS! So wish me luck! :P

Mixed Up

Hey! Yesterday my mum, sister and I went to the Zoo (which was super fun) so I decided I needed animal print nails for the Zoo. I had no idea what kind of animal print to do though, so as I was googling to get some ideas I saw this mani and I just knew I needed to do my nails like it!

For the gradient I started off with 2 coats of MissGuided  MissBehave, which I got free in a Cosmo magazine years ago but have never actually used it, then I sponged some Barry M Berry Ice Cream diagonally and finished it off with sponging Rimmel Aqua Cool on top. The plates I used for the stamping is BM-221 (leopard) and BM-223 (zebra) with Black Konad Special Nail Polish.

Blingtastic Pink Wednesday

Hey! For this Pink Wednesday I was in a bit of a sparkly mood, I wanted bling and I wanted sparkle... so that's exactly what I did, haha! This was my first time putting gems on my nails, and boy is it fiddly business! Took me forever to get the flowers looking right! The pink is an unnamed Bourjois polish, as you may know I hate when polishes don't have names!!! Then I did 2 coats of Collection 2000 Sparkle Top Coat and  I added some gems which were from ebay.

I got bored of all the flowers and decided to just have a green line of bling on my thumbs, kind of like a flower stalk. (I was trying to stay within the flower theme...)

P.S. I can't believe I've got over 100 followers! Thanks to everyone who's followed me and reads my posts! I love you all!

Wild Pink Wednesday

Hey! So today I have for you some leopard print nails with french tips on top! I'm kind of loving them apart from I broke a nail as soon as I had finished! Such bad luck, it makes me so sad and now one of my nails looks weird :( The pink is NYC Fashion Ave Fuchsia, which is sooo pretty! Then I used plate BM-221 and stamped it with Black Konad Special Nail Polish, the tips are also that colour.

OMG, I'm such an idiot, I wrote this post on Wednesday and forgot to publish it, oops!

Nail Fail

Hey! I love when my titles rhyme :P I've had no time for blogger lately and it makes me so sad, I need to find more time for it! Anway, today I have for you a nail fail, I just hate how the blue isn't pastel like the other colours! In hindsight a lighter blue would have looked better but I wanted all the polishes I used to be Barry M Ice Cream polishes. The polishes are Barry M's Berry, Blueberry and Stawberry Ice Cream with a coat of Collection 2000 Sparkle Top Coat on top.

Pink Wednesday Baby!

Hey everyone! So technically it's not Wednesday, it's like half hour past midnight, but I've just come back from the pub (or my second home as I like to call it). I've had such a great day, spent all day at the beach (I luuuuvre living near the beach) then went to the pub to celebrate a friends birthday, so I'm back home now slightly tipsy. I don't know about you, but I find when tipsy is the best time to do a blog post, haha.

Today I have leopard print nails, I was going to do polka dot nails, but I was kind of craving leopard print nails so it just had to be done! The base colour is Orly Pure Porcelain, the light pink is Barry M Bright Pink and the dark pink is Essie Super Bossa Nova.

I've had the Orle Pure Porcelain on for like 5 days now, so if you enlarge the picture you'll see the tip wear, gross! Also, before I added the dark pink my nails looked like some made cow, haha.

Mad cow.

Pink Wednesday

I ordered some nail polish online a few days and it came today and as I was so excited I decided to use a few of them for my Pink Wednesday mani. I used Orly Pure Porcelain and OMG I am so in love with this polish!! It's amazing! I also used Essie Super Bossa Nova, which is such an amazing pink! I love the shimmer to it! I used sellotape to make the pattern. 

With flash to see some of the shimmer.

Then for funsies I decided to add Barry M Pink Iridescent on top, but I didn't take a picture of it until I came back from the pub (my second home) when it was dark. Flash + Glitter = Pants. So you can't see the amazing blue and pink of the glitter. LAME!

Fruity

I wanted something fun on my nails so I decided to whip out the fimo canes and this time I managed to not cut a chunk out of my finger, yay! The orange is Barry M Block Orange and the pink is Barry M Fuchsia.

Pink Wednesday, Yo

Really quick post. My nails look super gross, I really should have cleaned up better! The pink is Collection 2000 Siren, the white and black are Konad Special Nail Polish and the stamp is BM-223.

I'll upload a better picture tomorrow when I'm not under the influence of alcohol. 

Birthday Presents and Weekly Haul

For my birthday my sister got me some nail goodies!

Yaaay! Pretty rhinestones! Can't wait to bling my nails out with these!

Dotting tools! No longer will I have to ruin bobby pins, haha. 

My mum baked me some super yummy chocolate and orange cupcakes for my birthday, with pink icing of course. 

Yum!

Now here's the things I've brought this week:

Barry M Pink Iridescent and Collection 2000 Siren

I'm so excited about this! Look at that holo glitter!

I've been really good at not buying nail polish recently, these are the first I've brought in nearly a month! I'm very proud with myself. 

A Very Late Pink Wednesday

I've been such a bad blogger lately, can't believe I haven't posted in a week! I've missed blogging and reading blogs! My birthday was yesterday, I turned 20, so I've been celebrating that all week. I'm feeling very old right now! I have lots of nail posts planned for the next few days though, so I thought I'd start off with my Pink Wednesday nails.

I've seen these butterfly wing nails on a few blogs so I decided to give that a go. Base colour is Siren by Collection 2000, the black is Andrea Fulerton nail pen thing and the white was Konad Special Nail Polish.

Floral Pink Wednesday, So Fetch

I can't believe I haven't posted since Saturday, how lame is that! I've been ill and haven't had the energy to do my nails, but I'm feeling a bit better now, so I have my Pink Wednesday mani for you! It's another floral number, I love me some floral.

The base colour is Barry M Fuchsia, I never really use this polish as I don't really like the colour in the bottle, I've had it for over a year and used it like once, but now it's on my nail I actually love the colour, I'll definitely be using it more often. The pink I used for stamping is White and Red Konad Special Polish mixed together, clever or what! I used BM-221 and it has to be one of my favourite BM plates.

I'm currently really undecided on whether to have this mani matte or not. I have one hand matte and the other glossy and I just can't decide which I prefer! The pictures posted are both with the matte topcoat, I couldn't manage to take a picture of my other hand without the matte, damn my flash being uncooperative! So what do you think, shall I leave it matte or make it glossy?

Stripy Pink Wednesday

Happy Pink Wednesday and Happy Birthday to my little sister!

My mum's boss made my sister 16 cupcakes for her 16th birthday, YUM!

Back to nails, for this pink Wednesday I decided to go for stripes. The base colour is a light pink franken, then 17 Pink Grapefruit for the stripes. The lines aren't that crisp, but you can't really see that in real life, I hate how the camera magnifies every imperfection.

Just a short post for today, I have such a bad migraine. :(
