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!

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!

Shatter It Up!
Hey! You know when you think your nails are dry but they actually aren't, so you carry on with other things like normal, and then you look down at your nails and they're all a bit scuffed? Well this happened to me the other day when I was getting ready for a night out and I only noticed my nails were ruined minutes before I had to get the train. It was so annoying and stressful! So I quickly put some white shatter on top, then some glitter and ran for the train like a mad man! Luckily I made it just in time and did a top coat on the train, but from now on I'm defiantly going to leave more time before going out for my nails to dry :P
The nail polishes I used where: Natural Collection Lunar Haze, which is a GORGEOUS purple duochrome but it's very sheer so I did a layer of Barry M Boots Limited Edition first (Lunar Haze will get it's own special post sooner or later, because it's such a stunner). Then on top is Barry M White Shatter and a unnamed Bourjois glitter 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...)

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.

"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!

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

Accident Prone
I had this really elaborate plan for my nails, in my head it looked great, but when I was cutting the fimo canes disaster struck!! I managed to cut a huge chunk out of one of my fingers! It was so gross and there was blood EVERYWHERE, I tend to faint around blood too so it was a mad dash to the bathroom to run it under the cold tap. There was still nail polish remover on my skin because I had just finished removing my nail polish too and it stung SOO BAD, I have no idea how I didn't pass out. Anyway, because of the traumatic incident I didn't go through with my original plan (will have to do it when my finger has healed) and just did boring blue with glitter.
I couldn't paint the nail on the finger I cut because I managed to cut it right up to the nail. I'm so clumsy.
Nail polishes I used were: Barry M Cyan and a Bourjois glitter.

Barbie Girl
I'm kind of obsessed with pink nails at the moment, not helped by the fact 70% of the nail polishes I brought back from uni with me were pink, so I have another pink mani! Doesn't this colour just scream barbie?! There's like microglitter in it, but my crapo camera wouldn't pick them up, boo!
Sorry for the messiness!
I wanted to do some Konad stamping on top of them but my right hand (I'm right handed) is kind of messed up at the moment and have limited movement in it, so weird and painful! So I'll have to wait a week/few days until my hand is better to try it! I put Barry M white shatter on top instead, with glitter on top!
I was going to crop the picture, but I thought my dress in the background looked nice, haha. Shame you can't see the glitter, but the pic was taken at night, so no sunlight.
I might not post much in the next few weeks because I have exams so I'll be busy revising... or I'll be posting lots if I'm procrastinating, haha!

Another Pink Wednesday!
So as my fimo canes arrived yesterday, my pink Wednesday obviously had to involve them!! It took me forever to decide which canes to choose, way to many choices and I am so indecisive! Eventually I managed to pick a few, like after an hour! Here's a little pic of all the cute cut up fimo canes on some cardboard (as I didn't want to ruin my desk):
So here's my nails:
So here's my nails:
Aren't the little dragonflies so cute? It's such a nightmare trying to photograph glitter, I have very little sunlight in my room so I had to stick my hand out my window and position my camera at a strange angle. Very awkward!
For this mani I used Revlon Bubblegum (which is scented and actually smells of bubblegum!!), then for the glitter I used this Bourjois polish, which has a label all in French so that's all I know about it, haha, and some boring topcoat.
