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!

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.

One Of Those Days...

Do you ever have one of those days where stamping just doesn't go right? Well today I had one of those days, I had to stamp all my nails like 3 times and even now I'm not happy with the results but I've given up for the day as it's far to frustrating, espically as my stamping was so perfect the other day. The blue is Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream, the yellow is a nameless Miss Sporty (NAME YOUR POLISHES!!!) and then I stamped BM-224 with Konad Special Nail Polish in black.

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.

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!

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!

Two Tone Blue

Last week the lovely Sonja from Happily Polished posted this purple mani which I LOVED and I just knew I had to do a mani like it. It's such a simple mani but I just love the effect. The darker blue is Barry M Cyan Blue and the lighter blue is Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream, which have to be 2 of my favourite blues!



I love how my nails are finally getting to a nice length! :D

Funky French

This is my mani from Monday. I saw this funky french on a blog (I don't remember the blog though sorry!) which I loved so I decided to copy it, she did pink and black though. The blue is Zoya Phoebe and the black is Barry M.

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.

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. :(

Pink Wednesday... On Thursday

Sorry for the late pink Wednesday! I'm so annoyed, I had planned to post this before I went out last night but my friends decided to pick me up an hour early, that was my blog writing time!!!



I don't how why the pictures came out a bit blurry, my camera was obviously having a hissy fit. The pink is a Miss Sporty nail polish (3 for £4.99 in Superdrug!!) which is nameless as they don't put names on the bottles and the green is Rimmel Green With Envy.

I ordered Seche Vite online and it came yesterday, and I am in love! It dries so fast and I actually prefer the smell to normal nail polish, is that weird?

Pink Stripes.

This mani is a result of procrastination...



I used Barry M Strawberry Icecream and Shocking Pink. Some of the lines are a bit messy, but oh well.

Pink Wednesday - You Can't Join Mathletes, It's Social Suicide!

I'm pretty proud I've managed to do every Pink Wednesday since I started this blog, go me! So this week I decided to use some of the new nail polishes I brought; Gosh Wild Lilac and Accessorize Pink Spice


 I think they look quite tiger-ish, don't you think?



A short and sweet post as I have an exam today, wish me luck!

Tape Mani

So I thought I'd give a tape mani a go, it turned out okay, not the best but good for a first time. It's so fiddly though, almost had to ask my sister to do my left hand. I used some random brown nail polish and cyan Barry M, which has to be my fav shade of blue I have (and I have like 15 blue nail polishes!) then it's topped off with my beloved matte top coat.


Sorry it's a bit scruffy. For the middle finger I switched the colours around, didn't give the effect I hoped for though. Oh well, you live, you learn.
