A bit of nail art!

I haven't posted any nail art for aaages so it's about time! I am really pleased with this one!

So for this I painted my ring and little fingers with Picture Polish Fairy Floss and dabbed using The Nailasaurus' gradiant technique (with a lot of extra dabbing because it didn't work the first time :p) over the bottom of those two nails with Cult Nails Love at First Sight and painted the other two nails with the same.

Now I have to inform you of the awesomeness that is MoYou. Their plates are amazing, their stampers are squishy and a good size, the prices are brilliant and best of all it's an English company :D Here I used the edge of the tree on Suki Plate 01 and some of the flowers along the bottom in Barry M Matt White. 

Then I added some finishing touches, a bit of Barry M Pink Iridescent dabbed over the bottom of the last two nails, a gem and a few little silver studs from the NPW Rock Chick Stud Wheel.   

Hope you like!

Fandom Cosmetics Highly Illogical

Yoo helloo! 

The other day I tried out my three swatch challenge idea and it didn't go so well so I thought I'd just swatch Highly Illogical instead, a polish based on Spock's uniform. 

I added a stud to jazz it up a little :p

This is described as a blue jelly with silver dust, but I'm sure I can see blue and purple glitters in there too, unless it's just how the light hits it:

I looove it, it gives complete coverage in two coats with no base colour and is ridiculously packed with the glitters/dust, it's very pretty!

My favourite Star Trek film has to be The Voyage Home :p

Might end up watching that later :p Do you have a favourite? Aren't Fandom Cosmetics amazing? :D

Pics: Computer?, Nobody pays any attention to you unless you swear every other word, Are you sure it isn't time for a colourful metaphor?

Fandom Cosmetics Justice League Collection Part One

Well hello! While I'm taking a small break from my nails to sort out my room I thought I'd post the first half of Fandom Cosmetics' Justice League collection. I was going to do all four in one post but I have half ready and thought why not! 

I loooove superheroes so I just had to get this, I made myself stop at DC but I might get the Marvel one eventually :p 

I am the Night

I am the Night is a clear polish with black, grey and yellow circles, black bar glitter and small black hexagonal glitter. I love the version of the suit it's based on, it matches my Lego Batman phone case!

This is one coat of La Femme grey cream from ebay with two coats of I am the Night. No fishing was needed because it's so packed! I couldn't see much of the black bar glitter when I painted it on but looking at the picture I can see there's plenty! 

I own an embarrassing amount of Batman things so I'll stop at my Batarang :p My only problem with the polish is that it was quite hard to get circles off afterwards, but as I always say I don't do the foil technique properly so it is probably just me!

Now let's take a moment to appreciate the awesomeness of Christian Bale!

He is too cool!

Son of Jor-El

I don't have any Superman things to pose with so I decided to do a bit of nail art with this one. I can't tell you how much I love this polish, it's just gorgeous! It is another clear polish with three different shades of blue holographic hexagonal glitters, yellow circles and biiig red circles. Very cleverly based on the suits and SO packed full of glitter! This is one coat of Barry M Navy with two coats of Son of Jor-El, there was no fishing needed at all but I did need to place the circles a bit, only because there were so many coming out at a time (which is definitely a good thing!). 

For the ring finger I painted half with Barry M Navy and the other with Barry M Raspberry using striping tape to separate them. Then I painted the Navy half with two coats of Son of Jor-El and lined the middle with NPW gold studs with a dotting tool. 

And all topped with a coat of Seche Vite. 

So there you have the first two of the DC collection, these guys are next :p

Hope you like them! Do you have a favourite superhero? :D

Nicole by OPI

As Sid would say, all right! Double prizes!

There was no gif for the double prizes bit, boooo!

Anywho, as it took me so long to post my last update with trying to do it at work during lunch (the signal is terrible) I wanted to do another post. So I shall be showing the two polishes I've got from Nicole by OPI, Alex by the Books and Am I Making Myself Claire? 

I was minding my own business when I stumbled across this in Superdrug:

Holy priceless collection of Etruscan snoods, Batman!

I've been a follower of Chit Chat Nails for a long time and had been lusting after Alex by the Books after seeing her post on it, so of course I had to buy it and it's just silly to only buy one polish. So I also picked up Am I Making Myself Claire? They're both from the Modern Family collection (which I don't watch but I can still enjoy the polish right...right??)

So the lavly Alex by the Books is a yummy shiny green.

I just love how OPI goes on, the first coat (or two) seems quite patchy, then the next coat evens it all out and it looks gorgeous. One of the main reasons I always go back to OPI (and Essie) is the wide brush, it makes it so much easier to apply and I'm also loving the shape of these bottles!

I believe this was two coats (over a normal basecoat) and a coat of Seche Vite although it was pretty shiny without it. Once more for the kids:

Moving on, Am I Making Myself Claire? is a sha-weet creamy, dusty purple.

Loooove it. This was also just two coats with Seche Vite. 

Obligatory bottle shot...

I used up all my words on Alex by the Books :p But this was also really easy to apply, a bit of a patchy first coat but levelled out on the second. I should add that the patchiness issue could just be my lack of skillz but it still looks lavly in the end.

I did a little bit of nail art with this one but not enough to give it a separate post so I shall share it here

For this I used a Born Pretty Store heart shaped stud (from he-arr, those hearts are gold but I got silver ones!) and a dotting tool (see heeere) for the dots coming off the heart. I used OPI Anti Bleak, OPI You're Such a Budapest (I think! I normally write this stuff down but I didn't for this for some unknown reason, apologies!) and Sally Hansen Showgirl Chic. Showgirl Chic is also used on the little finger. I thought it looked pretty cute. The heart is a bit too flat though so it pinged off quite soon afterwards :p

Well longest post ever, thanks for reading!
