Ciate's Pepperminty and party shoes

Here's a manicure that felt very mermaid like to me as I was wearing it. It's Ciate's Pepperminty, a minty blue shade with party shoes which is a mix of gold, turquoise and some holo glitters in a clear base. I don't really think this one looks good under the lens but in person it's pretty nice to wear. I really can't find...

Random sun rays with Ciate's Kiss chase

I find I'm less resistant to these bright pinks as much as I used to be because Kiss chase by Ciate was a pink I quite liked. It may be streaky at first and still a little on the second coat but it still looks good, even without top coat as you're seeing it here. I did have to keep going over with...

Ciate minis with dotted flowers

During the Christmas sale last year I picked up this Ciate advent calender which I've finally got around to opening every single flap, only because I couldn't stop my hands from opening up every single one haha. This is Ciate's Boudoir which is described as a sassy flirtatious red on their website. Quite right! The first coat is sheer and shows some VNL...

It's been a very long time since I've worn or added any OPI's to my collection. This would be one of the newer ones I've picked up but they're really not that new. Here's Every month is Oktoberfest. My pictures might be a little brighter than before. I was playing around with the editing and the photos seemed to show the colour best...

Mix and match nails with Models Own

Back to some mix and match nails with Models Own. I've covered my nails full of nail art that if I didn't mention people won't know that the base is MO's blue glint.  Using MO's Pukka purple, I stamped on the swirly design from BM 19. Thinking back that most probably was the first time I've used a full image from the first...

Criss cross nail art with Models own

Before you carry on to look at the pictures please be warned. The lighting isn't so great! Whenever I posed with the neon polish it just seemed to affect the whole lighting that it made me hands look extra tanned. This design came about as I was practising my stripes on a nail sample. Now that I look at it, it's basically just...

Models Own's Striping tape mani with a little bit of glitter

I quite like my lilacs and purples but I thought lilac sheen would look good with some nail art so I vamped it up with some striping tape and glitter. The middle and ring finger nail was topped with blue glint making two different patterns with the striping tape. On the index and pinky is MO's dancing queen which is a mix of...
