m83 Konadicure for small nails

Hi,

Remember my rising hearts konadicure? I recreated it now with different

colors & on smaller nails. What I got was awesome!

I started with two coats of my peachy franken and a thin coat of

Sequins Ruby Purple glitter above it. I stamped the rising hearts design from

m83 image plate with Konad Special Black. Finally, I applied a clear top coat.

Glitter Gal-Dark purple + m29

Hi,

Today I'll show you a pretty summer-holiday manicure. I created a

sunset on a tropical island. I strted with two coats of Dark Purple holo. I applied

a little piCture pOlish - Citrus to create the sunset effect using a needle.

I applied Claire's Lonely/Loved on the tips of my nails. I used the palm tree

design from m29 Konad plate and I stamped it with Special Black.

Finally, I applied a clear top coat.

This is how Dark Purple holo from Glitter Gal looks like, applied in two coats. This color

is opaque after a single coat. It dries very fast. After I painted the second hand's nails,

the first one's were already dried.

Check out their web site, they have a lot of pretty shades and they ship internationally.

Mint franken

Hi,

Today I'll show you a pretty minty manicure.

I started with two coats of a mint franken that I made.

I stamped over it the design from A31 image plate from Chez Delaney

with Special White. I applied a mauve rhinestone on the circle on each nail

and finally, I applied a clear top coat.

This is how my mint franken looks like. I created it using piCture pOlish - Marine

and the Matte Dull White from Born Pretty.

Acrylic Gel Nails + Random Nails

Hi guys, it's just now that I got the chance to post. I have lots of nail art I made these past few weeks.. Btw, have you noticed in my previous post "Phoebe's Nailart Contest Entries" that my nails are long again? Yes it is.. That is because I made "DIY" nails.. This is the first time I tried using acrylic gel nails. I used nail tip extension, acrylic powder, gel etc.. I love the outcome, they seem so real... You won't even notice that they're artificial.. How about you girls? Have you tried acrylic nails? Gel nails? Which of the two do you think is more durable? Acrylic or gel nails?

Mauve flowery manicure

Hi,

Today I'll show you a pretty mauve manicure.

I started with two coats of S-he #375. I like this one a lot.

It has some very pretty reflections and it dries really fast.

Then I stamped the design from A31 image plate from Chez Delaney with special white.

I cut and applied some flowery nail fimos. You can get them from the Born Pretty store.

Here's what I finally got. What do you think?

Kitten paws manicure

Hi,

Today I'll show you a funny manicure with kittens and paws.

I used Konad m83 for the kitten design and the essence image plate for the paws.

I stamped them using Special Black over the white base color from Born Pretty.

I applied a red rhinestone on the kitty's tail for a stylish effect.

At the end, I applied a clear top coat.

Stripey Palm Trees!

I think I saw a design similar to this while browsing the world wide web, but can't remember where! (If anyone has any idea, let me know so I can give credit where it's due!) I wanted to use the palm tree image from Konad M29 again, and started with a base of coloured stripes, painted over white to make them "pop". If you want to know what any of the colours are, just ask in the comments!

I added the stripes using Claire's Black Nail Art Pen, and stamped the palm trees using Konad Black Special Polish:

Let me know what you think guys! We also have a lodger this week, he is very hairy and smelly and MENTAL. But we love him.

Jack, our temporary mutt. (Or Jacqueline, when he's naughty. Which is ALL THE TIME.)

Scotch Tape Zebra Print Manicure

Hello everyone! I know, two posts in as many days, almost like the good old days eh?!

When I was on holiday with my family, we had a very restricted weight allowance for the flights, and so we ditched all the heavy beach gear in favour of lighter alternatives. This included picking up some cheap, light beach towels from Asda, and my, ever tasteful, father chose the most trashy-fabulous, attention grabbing, lurid print that was available - zebra print with a bright purple border. They were amazing. And chavvy. But mostly amazing. They inspired this manicure!

I started with a base of 3 coats of Natural Collections White and allowed to dry before stamping the zebra image from Konad M57 with Konad Special Polish in Black. If you're in the UK, and don't want to splash out for the Konad special Polish, I've heard that MUA Shade 2 - available for only £1 in Superdrug - is a fantastically opaque alternative, though I've yet to try it myself. I added a coat of Seche Vite to dry it all quickly, and ten minutes later added strips of scotch tape diagonally across each nail. I then painted the nail in Claire's Matte Purple (I LOVE mixing textures!) and pulled the tape away while still wet. ET VOILAAA! Trashy Towel Nails.

 

I love how the shiny and the matte finishes look together. The cameras playing tricks on your eyes, the purple is, in fact, a lot more violet and red toned in real life, my camera is in perfect, purple denial, turning it blue. The photos were also taken at dusk, so sorry they're a bit dark and blue. (gawd I need to build myself a light box!)

Let me know what you think everyone! :D

Aquatic summer manicure

Hi,

Today I'll show you a very cute summery aquatic manicure.

I started with two coats of Vollare #334.

On my index finger I stamped the birds design from P19 image plate from Chez Delaney.

Around it, I put some blue glitter.

On my middle and pinky fingers I stamped the shells from H20 image plate from

Chez Delaney. I added some gold glitter around the stamping.

I stamped the herbs from H20 image plate on my ring finger and then I stamped

the fish from Konad m82 image palate. I did the same thing on my thumb.

Finally I applied some clear top coat.

Minnie Mouse - Disney Nail Art

Hello Everyone!

Sorry for my absence, I've been on holiday in Majorca! Me and my family had a lovely time, it was great to unwind for a week and catch some sunshine, as well as stuff my face - something I am rather good at.

I popped on a new manicure as soon as I got back, and, inspired my excitement for m next holiday (a trip to Disney Land), I decided upon Minnie Mouse Nails!

I started with a base of Barry M Peach Melba (the Barry M Red polish I used really "pops" when it's applied over a light, neutral colour, it's a bit sheer and dull, otherwise), and then added two coats of Barry M Red. I used Konad White Special Polish and Image Plate M79 for the polka dots, and freehanded in some black bows using Claire's Black Nail Art Pen. For the Accent nail, I mixed American Apparel Palm Springs with a little Natural Collection White Polish and painted the whole nail. I then added the details using Claire's Nail Art Pen in Black and White. I topped it all off with Rimmel's 60 Second Topcoat!

So there we are! I'm sure I will be sporting this a lot when I'm over in America! Let me know what you think guys, I love Disney so I'm sure there'll be a lot more where this came from!

I also had some interesting blog traffic this week, and logged on to find a lot of referrals from www.bodycare.becomegorgeous.com, who have written and article on little old me, in relation to summer nail art trends. You can check it out HERE! :D

Pineapple konadicure

Hi,

Today I'll show you a cute summery manicure.

Firstly, I applied Essence - Glisten up. I needed 4 coats for this because it

isn't really opaque.

After that, I stamped the pineapples from Konad m29 image plate. For this, I used

Konad Special Green and Special Yellow.

I finished with a clear top coat.

♫ Piano nails

Hi,

Sorry for posting so late, I've been on a seaside holiday last week.

Here's my new Konadicure did with m73 image plate.

I started with two coats of Zoya - Malia and then I stamped diagonally the

musical notes with Special white.

On the opposite side I painted my tips with Illamasqua - Gamma and stamped

on it the piano keys with Special Black.

I got inspired with this manicure from Spooky Nai's post.

Nails Inc Mix and Match - Girly Turquoise Skittles

I think I must be on a turquoise kick! I won a years supply of Nails Inc polishes by entering the Tiger Mani into InStyle Magazine's Nail Art contest, and Haymarket - the polish I used today - was one of twelve that were sent as a prize! (Not quite a years supply for me, but it's still a great prize haha!)

I started with two coats of Haymarket, a muted, dusky turquoise - more blue-toned than green. You can't beat Nails Inc on quality, you get what you pay for, as these retail at £11 a pop - not something I can usually afford!

I added a different design to each nail, aside from the polka dots, which were added using Konad plate M79 with Konad White Special Polish, I used a paint brush for the details.

The pink polish on the accent nail bow, index and thumb is Collection 2000 Candy Floss, the silver is a Claire' Nail Art Pen and the white is Natural Collection from Boots.

Clearly a design for when you can't make your mind up! I quite like that it's all mixed up,it's very girly, all that's missing is hello kitty - as my mum said.

I promise I will get back to posting more regularly!
