China Glaze Blue ya!

I have some kind of weakness for these blues and whenever it comes close to Christmas I always find myself wearing something similar. They make my skin look great against it. China Glaze Blue ya is a deep blue filled with blue and green shimmers. It has a formula which didn't give me any trouble so two coats did the job. For this...

China Glaze Fresh Prince-ss, love hearts and dots

I miss polishing my nails. It has indeed been awhile. I had some posts which were long overdue and thought I'd upload them whilst I try to find the time and effort to get back into everything.  This one is China Glaze's Fresh Prince-ss, a lovely sweet pink. The formula of this one is like most other pastel pale pink you'd find out...

China Glaze Come rain or shine swatch

This is China Glaze's Come rain or shine. A name I find very befitting to the UK weather at the moment. We're having the last of our summer with some nice sunshine but it won't be long before we're greeted with some rainfall. This polish is from China Glaze's Spring 2016 House of colour collection and is a blue filled with pink shimmers...

Models Own's Cerise shine and Almaz nail vinyls

Nail vinyls have got to be one of the greatest things that happened for the nail community. They're just so easy and fun to use, the outcome is also great. I get some satisfaction from peeling off the vinyls and seeing the whole design slowly appear #PEELPORN! For this manicure: Apply one coat of your preferred base coat (I used Essie's Protein base...

Models Own pastel gradient base & nail stamping

This manicure is close to half of a fail but I wouldn't think the overall look isn't good to make it on the blog. The original idea was a pastel gradient base with some nail stamping but the base colours are hardly showing in both person and photos. Regardless the finished look does remind me of a chalkboard, maybe because of the faded...

China Glaze's Midtown Magic

In this post I'm going to show you one of my many China Glaze polishes that I've had for a good while. China Glaze's Midtown Magic came out in 2011 and until this days the colour and formula is still in good condition.  This is one of those not so boring dark colours. A very dark almost black base filled with a mix...

China Glaze Purple ombre chevron

I've got here an ombre nail vinyl design to show in this post. Many times I've attempted to create designs with the nail vinyls I had but the majority didn't come out quite right. This one? Just about makes the cut and on top of that, hello holo glitter base! For this manicure you'll need: One coat of your preferred base coat (I...

Models Own's pink gradient with Moyou swirls

Long time no gradient! I wanted my nails to look girly with a bit of elegance to it so pink was the best choice. It's nice to be able to pick all the colours I need from one collection especially when you're spoilt for choice of pinks. Less thinking, more polishing! All polishes used here were from Models Own's Hyper gel collection. For...

Nails Inc's Night Sky

Whatever the weather I'm always in for a dark pigmented blue. After rummaging through all my drawers trying to decide which polish to use I ended up with Nails Inc's Night Sky from their Alexa collection. I didn't want to keep this one plain and the polish name just kept making me think of stars, stars and stars so that's what my ring...
