Minnie Mouse

This manicure was a pure rip off from Polish Art Addiction It was a "saw this and needed it in my life" moment.
It was also a challenge for me, because, although I DO have a polka dot stamp plate for easy spots I DON'T have a  bow stamp =[ (yet) so it was a challenge (could I recreate by hand what a stamping plate can do in seconds)

The result - I would not recommended doing this (or anything that can be stamped) by hand, especially if you're a perfectionist - I had to give up on perfect and settle for OK.

Galaxy nails

I am still with out a camera (which is annoying because I have so many idea I want to try)
So here is another old manicure

Galaxy nails are something that I saw on every blog late 2012 so of course I had to try them

After attempting sponging the galaxy on my toe nails I decided for my night out I didn't want to risk a total mess so I opted for a black polish with 3 different glitter sizes.

Not happy with just the glitter I decided a splash of colour would look good so I cracked out my nail art pens and took the blue and purple and "splashed" a few randomly placed lines of colour.

(This picture doesn't do justice to the final result - which was much more shiny )

PurseNails

Since I am relatively new to blogging, I thought I would upload some of my old manicures too

The pictures are a bit rubbish (but I'm still pretty rubbish at that to be honest) 

Also, I created a new water mark and went a tad overboard with it (I was quite excited about making it!)

So, around Christmas time (2012) I bought a new purse and when I got it home I realised I had a stamping plate with roses on it

I can’t remember what pink I used but the red is Maybelline Forever Strong Pro in Rouge Couture Midnight Red #287

I have found this polish stamps really well over most lighter colours, but not great over darker colours, so if you’re looking for a red polish to stamp over darker colours I would still recommend the Konad special polishes!

Animal Stamps and New Polish

Yesterday I was in the supermarket getting some shopping with my mum and when I wandered past the Rimmel stand a purple polish just screamed at me to buy it(as they so often do!!), so in the trolley it went. Obviously as soon as I got home I had to try it and I have been itching to try some of my tip stamps and see how straight I could get them (so far I have failed miserably at getting them straight)

Not one to be content with a single colour or pattern I thought I would try stamping some of my newer Barry M Gelly Polishes as well (over at Brit Nails, Allie had suggested the Gelly polishes were great for stamping but I hadn't had a chance to try them yet!)

The result :
Well I like them

I stamped each of the colours over the white tips of my Acrylic nails so I apologize about the state of my cuticles , they are in a pretty sorry state

Royal baby and Tea Pots

Congratulations Kate and Wills =]

Yesterday over at Brit Nails there was a Review for Nailtopia Alice in Wonderland Nail Stickers. They where wonderful stickers and a fabulous manicure.

This coupled with the news of the royal baby has inspired me to do a thoroughly British Nail design involving teapots.

Lost

So, Since I have lost my camera charger and broke my phone my blog is off to a giant HALT!

Today I bring you, bad photography of a rather (imo) nice manicure.

This is a very Picture Heavy post as non of the pictures quite captured the manicure on their own.
I will also update , when it is NOT 3am the products used







This is only the 4th time I have done a full set of Acrylic nails on myself and I have to say I am happy with how the tips turned out, but the plain white tips were boring so i had to spice them up a bit  (didn't I?)

Anyway I thought    some   colour would be nice so i added some pink and blue swipes along the smile line and a white stamped flower. Not happy with just this i added a coat of fine glitter to give it some GLITZ!      Which was fine for about half an hour and my Gleaquins were staring at me from their box,soi added a pink one in the center of each flower.

The result:
