China Glaze Nautical Nails

Happy Saturday everyone! This is a scheduled post because sadly, I'm working at the moment. I am obsessed with anchors, and the colour navy. I pretty much love anything nautical, and I've been trying to work on my stripes lately so this design was perfect for that. You'll see that some of the colours are smudged, and that's because I was stupid and put my top coat on too early. Hahah
Enjoy xx



The navy that I used here is an older polish I have, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Blue It! I love this colour, it's the perfect navy blue and is definitely treasured in my collection. These polishes are however, quite thick so if you're going to use them, be prepared for that. 


The red that I used is part of the China Glaze Halloween 2012 collection. Roguish Red is a gorgeous colour, but it is a little bit orange. It should actually be called Roguish Orange-Red because it is definitely not fully red. In most of these pictures it does because I used several coats, and the more opaque it got, the more red it became as well.  


The white and gold are both acrylic paint, because I couldn't find a suitable white polish. Haha


The micro beads were bought off of Ebay and so were the brushes that I used to create the stripes.

Sally Hansen Prison Stripes

Hello everyone, happy Tuesday! Today I'm bring to you a mani that I've fallen in love with. I really enjoy this look, and even though it's not perfect, I hope you'll like it as well. 

Enjoy! xx


The pink that I used is actually a polish that I keep for stamping, but It was the perfect colour for this mani, so whatever! Haha, it's Sally Hansen Insta Dry Presto Pink. I haven't used it for stamping yet, sadly. But if anyone has, I'd appreciate it if you told me how well it works. 


The black and white stripes were created using acrylic paint and a striping brush bought off of Ebay in a package of three. 


The stars were bought at my local dollar store!


The top coat that I used was Orly Top 2 Bottom Base and Top Coat.

Matte Glitter with Bundle Monster Stamping Plates

So, these are nails from quite a long time ago. I didn't like them much at the time and wasn't even going to put them on here, but hey, who cares, and I like them a lot more now. I love the matte colours and how they turned out. The pictures don't quite catch the glitter that well, but it's definitely an amazing colour. 



For these nails, I used Colour Club Gift of Sparkle (purple) and an old grey that my mother had. I don't have the name of this colour, sorry!


I used NYC Matte Me Crazy for a top coat! 



The stamping plate that I used was BM316.


If you don't already have the Bundle Monster stamping plates I highly recommend them! They're a lot cheaper then Konad plates, but are still great quality. Head over to Bundle Monster to pick them up!
