Rainbow Gem TIEMZ! Any requests? Drop me a buzzword!

Sorry it's been so long, weighed under with college work but here are some recent nails, I have more to upload over the next few days so stay tuned!


I used my dotting tool to create the rainbow finger, there's a sort of half moon mani going on there, and then used my awesome new gems and created a rainbow out of some of the shades and put them on in that order. It doesn't look as random as I'd have liked but oh well- it attracted quite a few compliments!

Requests
Send ideas or requests by commenting or messaging, inparticular I'd love some ideas for a christening I'm going to. Buzz words also cool!

Money Saving Haul!

As you may be aware I have little cash to spend on nail goods and so far Nail Delights has been a dream in the money saving department. So has ebay, I bought 11,000 gems for £8 from Hong Kong. They came in 6 wheels and varying colours and designs... (pictures as promised!)

Oval type shapes.
Flowers
Hearts
Stars
Squares
Classic circular shape
Then, up town I found some nice colours to add to the collection seeing as I lack in the more unusual ones, I bought a yellow, green and black. Each bottle was only £1; I've heard good things about MUA and have used technic before and they last pretty well too, not to mention the superb application.

Pretty much it for now, I will be spamming you with pictures of my new blossom mani tomorrow most likely.
Have a good Wednesday!

Oinking Space Pig!

I did something different, inspired by (copied as best I could) Preposterously's Nail Blog I put pigs on my nails. I changed the colour to silver because I didn't have a pinky/red that I was happy with and thus made them: SPACE PIGS!

They're a little smudged and chipped with a few days wear (only just got my mits on a camera since I lost mine, must say it is better than mine). I'm in love with them even though they're a bit shoddy.

Also, I forgot to add a pic of my toesies for the wedding last week, so here is how they look now, a week on; not their best.

Sands of Crystal


So, going to a wedding tomorrow and am wearing a 20's style flapper fringed dress in a creamy/beige/goldish colour. I matched everything up including my nails and decided to do something more girly for me.

I used 2 different colours to get here, 2 coats Rimmel Sands of Time and 1 coat of a goldy sheer colour thats label has rubbed off.


Excuse the deformed bump on my middle finger, it's from writing.

They need a little clean up but I'm gonna wait for everything to set.







Also, I tried marbling for the first time the other day and this was the outcome...
Blurry pic, but it's the best I could get at night. I got rid of the mani in about an hour because I didn't like how it worked out.

Lucky Stars

Soo.. results day is tomorrow so I redid my nails. Star stickers and gems! The stickers messed up a bit when I went over them with my top coat but I am satisfied until I redo them for a wedding this Saturday.

Good luck anyone else who's getting results tomorrow.

Also, I'm thinking of getting Konad image plates- reccs for a starter of where to buy, what to get to start with and cheapest place to buy?

3 steps forward and 3 steps back.


My first post into the blogosphere. Hopefully I can get the ball rolling and some nails updates done. I will be experimenting much more soon, but right now I'll leave some photos of recent designs done in a rush and on a budget with little skill.

Help using blogger is much appreciated too!
