Born Pretty Store Glow Polish Review and Frankenstein Art

No, I don't have any glowy pictures, you'll just have to take my word that it glowed beautifully, but my camera would NOT capture the glowy goodness =[
I think I have figured out the camera settings to get it to capture the glowy goodness, but by this point I had already taken the polish off.
Boring bit over onto the pictures =]

So first I tried the two polishes but I wanted to see how they went over white and natural.

The Blue was much of a muchness over white but the Green really popped over the white polish so it was basically getting 2 different greens in one box =]

One thing I was a bit worried about when I got the polish was that the green bottle was a bit broken? not broken but I can't think of a better word. the lid looked a bit peeled and the glass looked like the polish had spilled out, but when I opened the bottle up everything looked AOK so I can only assume a different bottle smashed near this one and it just hadn't been cleaned off properly.

So doing this I realised the green would make an AWESOME Frankienstein Green sooo here it goes -

this was super hard to photo graph - the nail tips and his hair is actually an OPI purple but hey if the camera wont get it the camera won't get it 

rawwwhhhhh hallloooowwweeen =]

Stamping + Glitter Disaster

A cautionary tale of over designing

I knew from the beginning I wanted this to be a blog for me, to show my improvement and what not...
So I feel its only right I show off when I have a disaster too.

Thank you Ebay finallllly got my hands on OPI Absolutely Alice!!!! - excellent what on earth can I go with this...

Experiment time!





Barry M Matte White
Barry M Gelly Guava
Barry M Gelly Plum

These should go nicely with this polish, I thought,what could go wrong, I thought

The addition of stamping, that's what...
I painted 2 coats of  White on my middle 3 fingers
and 1 coat of each the Purple and the blue....so far fine and dandy =]

nice ombre nail in the center.... beautiful

So for the first time ever I sat down with a theme in my head (Alice in Wonderland) and got a planning
my early plan had me painting Absolutly Alice over plain nails except my ring finger I would do a swirly partern....wait a second don I have a swirly stamp plate???? (this was my first mistake)
so out came the stamp plates...ooohhh thisone llooks a little like a bottle - I could add drink me to it
oooh I dont have a cake I could use for eat me.... ooof cupcake- perfect agian
mmm a key there was a key in that scene I guess I could free hand a lock hole no RESULT I have a key stamp tooo and so the design was coming along nicely

Gradient Stamping.... never tried this before ring finger went gorgeous but my pointy (index) finger the design I chose was little and fiddly so I thought ahhh ill just layer it
it look fine the glitter will cover the imperfections (next mistake)

NOT ALICE ENOUGH!!!

 

Cup cake with wiggly EAT ME =] yumyum             and the drinks bottle - DRINK ME sure why not

 And here was the downfalll

I added the glitter - well this glitter is SOOOO densly packed it did not just cover the imperfections it basically covered up the design as well =[=[=[

sooooo after trying to fix it and stamping on the top I found this to be a massive fail too- OPI Absolutely Alice does NOT dry fast

ANYWAY

Alice does (as I originally thought) look fabbbb over the Plum - the dark purple background realllly makes the blue glitter POP and overr the Guava it looks lush - njot only does the blue look great the lighter blue blackground blends theblue glitter slightly and the gold stands out amazinggggggg

all in alll this was an experiement that I guess suceeded becuase I found out that Alice looks gre t over solid colours and perhaps over gradient and terrible over anyting else!!!!

When I buy new nail varnish it is a wonder I haven't tried it out before getting to the car.
Barry M is easily my favourite Brand of Polish. Any company that can do what the big company's do for half the price is OK in my book =]

Despicable Nails =]

TBH I have put off publishing this because I have been a bit annoyed at everyone saying I'm jumping on the band wagon with it.
A, it is nail art - most of the posts I've seen this week have been about negative space art blogging is all about band wagons
B, I can almost guarantee I was looking forward to Despicable Me 2 before every single person who stated I was jumping on since I saw Despicable Me before 2013

So why should I avoid blogging coz some people are poops.... You're right I shouldn't
Rant over =]

quite simply went to see the film...this happened =]
I loved them

"bottom""hheheheheheheh"
