OPI Cross and Rhinestone Manicure

Hello to you all! How's your Thursday going so far? Today, I have a stamping manicure for you! Yay! Stamping! If you haven't heard of stamping then you definitely need to "jump on the band wagon". Most nail bloggers use stamping as an easy way to "amp up" their manicures. Stamping is super easy once you get the method down, and can be found anywhere on the internet. You can see the rest of my stamping posts by searching "stamping" in the search bar, or clicking "stamping" in my label cloud! 

Enjoy! xx


The green I used here is a colour that I've only used once. It has been hidden away in my stash and when reorganizing I came across it. OPI Gargantuan Green Grape is a matte laquer that I got at Winners one day. It goes on a little funky, as all matte polishes do and is a little streaky; but it is however a gorgeous colour. 


I decided that I didn't want it to be matte, and to help cover the streaks I stamped on it using Cheeky plate CH44 with Sinful Colours Black on Black then topped it off with Orly Top 2 Bottom Base and Topcoat. 


The grey/purple colour is Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Greige Gardens. It's actually an amazing colour, and is subtle yet sophisticated. I thought that it paired with the rhinestones perfectly. 


The rhinestones were bought off of Born Pretty and you can find their website here! There's a 10% off code which you can get by clicking here, but I haven't used it for a while, and don't know if it still works! The micro beads were bought off of Ebay!

Red and Pink Valentines Day Nails

Happy almost Valentines day, everyone! So, on Monday I showed you some Valentines Day nails that were more original than the cliche pink and red. Today, I'm showing you the cliche pink and red ones! Haha. I hope everyone has a great day tomorrow, and I'll see you all on Friday! 
Enjoy! xx


The colours I used were: Barelements Ruby Red which is a dark, beautiful red. Colour Club Poptastic which is my favourite pink and definitely my go-to colour, and Colour Club Warhol (for the gradient). 


The black is acrylic paint.

Gradient Manicure and New Practice Hand!

Hi all! I recently ordered a practice hand and fingers off of Ebay, and it arrived today! I was surprised to get an eye shadow, and two nail brushes as bonuses! I also had nail art flowers arrive today! I'm super pleased with the quality of  these products. The hand looks fairly real, and bends properly. The "slits" where the fake nails go in are a great shape and they're deep enough to not be annoying. Over-all great product! You can buy this exact product on Ebay from this seller.



On to the nail art! I love this colour scheme, it turned out so nice. I did the gradient using a makeup sponge, and Essie Meet Me at Sunset, Essie Tart Deco, and Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle White. 


The rhinestones were bought off of born pretty I thiiiink. I got them quite a while ago. If you haven't checked them out already, then you totally should. Click here to go to their website! They sell so much stuff for beauty and nail art! They also have practice hands!


You can see my other gradient manicure here!
