Hey, Hey I Wanna Be A Rockstar!

So as it's Halloween..I had 553354564 million people knocking at the door wanting sweets which meant painting nails was difficult! I did do a really cute floral pattern but it got smudged in the door opening and sweet giver-out-ing! So I decided on a simple but fun mani using the rockstar ring finger.

I decided to chuck a blurry photo in there as it picked up the different colours nicely!

USED: Models Own Hed Kandi Hedonist and Barry M Silver Cascade finished with Out the Door Top Coat.

I <3 Models Own. It actually becoming my new obsession. I just can't seem to get enough of it! All their polishes are a nice thick consistency and apply to the nail really nicely, giving a nice smooth, glass like finish - which I LOVE.

Do you use Models Own? What's your fav?

E Is For...

Hi guys,

It's that time again! The next installment for the Llama Nails 'ABC of Nails' Challenge.

I found E quite hard one to think up. It's was a tough choice between the one I chose Eruption, Eeyore and Earth. Anyway, with some input from the creative brains at work, I decided on...

ELMO!

It didn't turn out as brilliant as hoped but I still kinda like it! :)

What do you think? Any ideas for 'F'?! 

ALSO! My 'giveaway at 50 followers' is still running! I've changed it slightly, so the only mandatory line is to follow the blog! :) Enter below using Rafflecopter..

Pretty in Pink with Glitter Gradient

I have a load of new polishes which I've had for ages but never actually used so I've made it my mission to change that!

Today's nails are created using Rimmel Fancy Fuschia, Barry M Silver Glitter Limited Edition and Barry M Hologram 118.

I started off with a single coat of Fancy Fuschia before applying a second, thicker coat. I love Rimmel nail polishes because not only are the brushes nice and far and cover all the nail, but they always seem to dry with a nice smooth finish!

Once the second coat had dried, I then used Barry M Silver Glitter around the bottom of my nails, going about half way up. I wanted this to look like sprinkled glitter so tried not to make it even or matching on each nail. I then used a cocktail stick on with the Barry M Hologram 118 and picked out individual gems to scatter over the glitter to give it a bit more 'oomph!'

I then sealed it with a top coat out 'Out the Door' which is the best top coat I have ever, ever, EVER used!

I love this design. I feel all magical and princess like! Amazing how a simple design can work so well, ey?!

The Brighter, the Better!

OK so I think i have posted enough of my old pictures, after this post they will be live, up to date photos with step by steps! Yay me.
Anyway, my last archive post is quite a plain and simple one. It is Barry M Neon Pink with Barry M Hexagon glitter.

Now I LOVE this polish just because of how bright it is - the picture doesn't really do it justice so I'll have to swatch it again another time..!
Although, with neon colours I found them so watery meaning you need loads of coats and I'm far to impatient for that so I tend to first do a layer of white polish, let that dry and then apply the neon colour. I only need two coats max and it is a bright as you'll get it!!  Give it a go - it makes a massive difference! :)

I'm a Glittery Leopard

So I got a new Rimmel yellow polish in the sale for £2 and with it being Summer, I really fancied using it! I kinda have to think of a design for my thumb because my stamps aren't wide enough to cover the whole nail so it always looks a bit tacky so voila! Instead we shall we a glittery leopard..

I used a gold glitter that came in a Frontcover set on the thumb and ring finger and then used a cocktail stick to dot glitter in and around the leopard spots!

I'm a Rockstar!

Rockstar nails are a massive hype at the moment and a design that I love design because it's so quick and simple, yet looks lovely!

For this design, I used Barry M Pink Flamingo as my main colour, with Barry M Silver Cascade on my ring finger to give it that Rockstar bling look!

So pretty :)
Have you tried out Rockstar nails? What colours did you find worked well together?
