Nails | Blue & Black Glitter Bomb

The application of nail polish in the photo above certainly isn't my finest of nail polish applications, but nevertheless I wanted to share what I had on my nails at the moment! Since seeing what it is like to have your nails done professionally I have been trying hard to resist constantly getting nails done and instead trying to use what I have in my own kinda big collection. 

I really like black and I really like blue, so why not mix them together? I haven't actually worn black nail polish that wasn't gel in years! Here you can see I have used Collection Work The Colour 'Sonic Blue' on my index finger and ring finger. How can I resist a nail polish that is a reminder of Sonic the Hedgehog? As for the black I have used Rimmel 60 Seconds 'Black Out'. It applies quite opaque for a black polish and doesn't take long to dry which is a relief. After my nails dried I used Rimmel Glitter Bomb Top Coat 'Bedazzle' which are medium sized glitter pieces in colours of red, blue and pink. 

Admittedly they haven't been lasting on my nails long and chipping everyday, but overall I like how they look and don't mind having to fill in the chips.

Nails | The Quick Way to the Silver Way

After rocking the L'Oreal Red Manicure with the silver glitter accent nail for 2 weeks, it was time for another quick, simple and easy Christmas manicure.

I went for Essie's Jiggle Hi Jiggle Lo which is a silver nail polish that catches the light like glitter. It is super easy to apply with only 2 coats needed and it doesn't chip too much without a top coat (I've ran out of top coat!). I received this last Christmas so with that and the colour I always associate it with Christmas and new year celebrations. If you want a manicure that is similar to glitter but without the mess of glitter then this is for you!

#BigBlogmasProject2014 | Candy Canes and Sparkles Nail Art

Hey guys!

Today I FINALLY painted my Christmas nails! I have decided to go with candy cane nails with a blue glittery accent nail on both ring fingers. Want to know how I done it? Read on!

You will need:

• Light blue nail polish
• White nail polish
• Red nail polish
• A striper
• Glitter nail polish
• Top/Base coat

1. Paint your nails with a base coat and let them dry fully.

2. Paint all nails but your ring finger nails white. They may need more than one coat to create a solid colour. Leave them to dry.

3. Paint your ring finger nails with the light blue nail polish and let that dry.

4. Once your ring finger nails have dried, paint a coat of the glitter nail polish on both of them and leave that to dry.

5. Coat the striper in the red polish. Begin to draw diagonal stripes across your nails. I think doing 3 red stripes on each nail looks super effective. Also, try to make each red line similar in thickness. Leave them to dry.

6. Paint a top coat on to your ring fingers like normal. When it comes to putting on a top coat for your candy cane nails, do them following the diagonal lines as opposed to just straight down like you normally would. Do all the white stripes first and then all the red ones. This is because if you do it like you normally would you will smudge the colours together and ruin the design!


There you have it! Alternatively, you can try cutting tape into thin stripes and using them on your nails to create the perfect stripes. I tried this but it didn't work well with the white nail polish I was using and just pulled it all off!

Models Own Microdots Nail Polish Review!

Hey!

So today I am reviewing Microdots by Models Own. It is a clear nail polish with yellow, blue, orange red and turquoise miniature particles. You can use it over other nail polishes to give a polka dot effect.

I really like this nail polish. It is easy to use and is a quick way to make your nails look more fun and interesting without the hassle of doing nail art. It is easy to paint over your nails and you can use the brush to poke the dots to spread them out in a better way across your nails so they don't end up in a cluster.

It is also probably the easiest glitter nail varnish to take off too. I love glitter nail varnish but never wear them as I am too lazy to deal with the hassle of removing it but this was generally okay to take off.

Here is a photo of it when I used it on my ring finger over Model Own's Coconut Cream:

Overall I really like this nail polish and I am glad I have got it. I will definitely use it again!

Do you have it and what do you think of it? Let me know!
