French Tips and Fake Tattoos

Hey! I forgot to take a picture of this particular mani but luckily I managed to find a shot of it from a night out a week ago. My friend somehow won some fake tattoos so drunk me put a few on, so I'm afraid the only picture I have has a fake tattoo on my wrist, which I find rather amusing! I just love the lips on my nail, so cute!

Obscure picture is obscure.

I promise you'll actually be able to see my nails properly in my next post! 

Happy Halloween!

Hey everyone! I hope you all having a greet Halloween and have been dressing up! Unfortunately I'm suck in bed with a migraine, so no Halloween for me, boo! But I did go to a Halloween party on Saturday, so I'll post a picture of me in my little outfit as well as my Halloween nails. :P

This mani is my first splatter I've successfully done, so I'm pretty happy with the results, but I did feel pretty breathless after all that blowing, haha that sounds totally wrong but I don't mean it like that! :P I used Barry M White, Bourjois Rouge Escarpin as the blooooooood and BM-12 for the chains with Konad Black polish.

And here's me in my Halloween costume, I'm a dead bride. My husband killed me, how rude! 

Zig Zag

I always decide to take pictures of my nails at really bad times... like at midnight. I don't remember what brand the red polish is, my friend painted them in manicure class, training to be a beauty therapist has it perks :P But the red looked a bit plain on it's own so I spruced it up by using the amazing Barry M Instant Effect Gold Foil, which is AMAZING for stamping as you can probably tell, for stamping BM-201.

Don't Get Lippy With Me

Hey! As soon as I saw the lips on my new BM plates I knew I needed a silver mani with red lips! I wish my nails were long/the lips were smaller so I could fit more than one lip on each nail, when my nails are longer I'm so going to be doing this mani again! The polishes I used were Barry M Silver and Red Konad Special Nail Polish with BM-02.

Half Moons

Hey! I've been meaning to do half moon nails for a while now and I've finally got around to doing them! Well that's a but of a lie, I tried doing them a few months ago, did one nail which turned out DISASTROUS so gave up, haha. I like how it turned out this time, but I would have liked it more if the stupid red wasn't so darn thick! And the thickness led to bubbles in the polish, sad face!

The polishes I used were Orly Pure Porcelain and a gorgeous franken red which I really should name, seeing as how I often go on about how I hate unnamed polishes! I also lost my beloved Seche top coat at my friends the other night, I'm blaming that on the tequila, so the only top coat I have at the moment is my matte top coat, which a bit of a bummer.

Stripes and Flowers

Hey! Just a quick post from me today as I have to rush out. All the colours are Barry M, apart from the green which is a fraken. So enjoy!

It's so annoying to take pictures in the sunlight when Seche is your topcoat, it's just too damn glossy!

Ladybird Nails

I thought I'd go for something cute and fun as I'm been on such a downer lately, so I decided why not ladybirds as I've been wanting to do them for a while! I think they look great, but the eyes creep me out so much! The base colour is Bourjois Rouge Escarpin, which is a really great one coater, then the white and black are Barry M.

17 Goodie Bag!

I'm pretty sure I can speak for everyone here when I say free stuff is the BEST THING EVER! I was browsing the Boots website the other day and I saw they had a 17 offer going on, if you brought any 2 17 products you'd get this nail goodie bag for FREE! So as soon as I could, I went down to Boots and brought some a nail polish, 17 Forever and 17 Carbon Back/Copper eye pencil.

Here's the goodie bag and what was in it:

Isn't the bag so cute?!

 The view inside... so mysterious!

What I got inside the bag.

 Pink Grapefruit and Knockout Red

I love these stickers!! Can't wait to try them out!

 A nail file.

How amazing is the stuff in the bag?! All completely FREE! Love it! I'm tempted to buy some more 17 stuff just to get more of those nail stickers! 

"They're a bit weird"

So todays mani is another leopard print, which my sister lovingly described as "a bit weird" and apparently "looks like a cow", thanks sis! I saw this colour combo on a blog, but I can't for the life of me remember which who's blog it was! So if anyone recognizes this, please link the blog to me!

 Left hand.

Right hand.

The white is Barry M Matt White, the grey is Barry M Grey and the red is Bourjois So Laque Rouge Escarpin.

Vampy Franken

I love this franken (and so does my mum, I can tell she'll be stealing it), it's full of purpley, red, shimmery goodness! I don't really like just plain nails though, but I can't think of what to do on top of it, especially what colour to go on top! So what does everyone else think? Maybe gold? Ideas please!

Franken Mad

I've gone a bit franken mad over the last few days, so here are the ones I've made!

Surprisingly I only made 1 glitter franken, the others were just colours I've wanted for a while but can never find in shops. 

I've wanted a nude nail polish for a while now, but the only ones I find are sheer so I made my own! And I've wanted a light pink for aaaaages and as I had a little bit of a matte top coat left I made the pink franken in there so it's matteified, it also has a gold shimmer to it too, but couldn't capture that in the pic. I'm thinking the pink will be used in my pink Wednesday.

This red is gorgeous! It's a bit more purpley in real life and has a shimmer to it, but you can't see them because my camera is a bit crap. The green glitter is AMAZING, I put loads of different coloured glitter in it.

Here's a close up on my leg, haha, as it's the only way I could get a half decent close up. I should probably think of some names for them, but I'm not that creative. 

Yummy Watermelons

So blogger being down, for what seemed like FOREVER, was annoying huh? My last post was deleted but hopefully it'll be back up soon...

Anyway, I was going to do fimo watermelon nails, but I'm kind of traumatised from the last time I tried to cut up fimo canes, so I went with the more literal approach, haha.

Can you tell I did the green and white lines free hand? So messy!

I didn't really have any nail polishes which were watermelon colour, so I did 2 coats of Barry M Bright Red then a thin coat of Rimmel Magenta Magic. The white stripe in Konad Special Nail Polish and the green is Calvin Klein Emerald Green (which is the only green I own!) and then the black is Barry M. 

I can haz Konad?

So I ordered some Konad stuff and it came today! I was so excited I wanted to hug the postman, and if I wasn't holding one of my doggys at the time nothing would have stopped me! I wish they came a day or two later though, because I am so in love with my Wednesday nails that I don't want to remove them just yet and there is no way I could fit some Konad into my mani! I had a go on some cardboard but it just wasn't the same as nails, I might try and convince my mum or sister to let me try on them.

White, blue and red, perfect timing for the royal wedding or what?!

M2 and M3, so cute!

I can tell a lot of my money is going to go on Konad and Fauxnads now, sorry bank account!
