Friday's Fingers: Rimmel Heart Nail Art

Currently listening to: Sunday Morning by Maroon 5

Good morning ladies,

Time for a very girly manicure today featuring pink polish, glitter and hearts.

I used Rimmel Rose Libertine, a fairly new addition to my collection, as my base.  It's a peachy shade in my eyes, veering between coral and pink depending on the light.

 I then added a layer of Kiko Sparkle Touch and No7 Daisy Darling.

 As for the stamping, that was done with Barry M Pomegranate and Bundle Monster plate BM 317.

 What do you think girls?

Bye for now,

Laura

Mid-week Manicure: Kiko 255 Violet Microglitter

Currently listening to: Secrets by One Republic

Hello ladies,

Another purple manicure for you today,  this time featuring Kiko Violet Microglitter, shade 255.

Despite loving this shade, I've worn it only a handful of times since buying it almost three years ago.  I somehow think it's too dark or troublesome to remove to bother with but wearing it on this occasion made me rethink how I feel about this sparkler.

 Giving you an idea of how old these pictures are, I actually wore this on New Year's Day as I had no time for nail art but wanted something with some added interest to mark the day.

 I have no access to Kiko polishes where I live (and I don't want to buy them online) but I'm going to Paris in May and already I'm excited about going to the Kiko store and picking up a few new shades.

What do you think girls?  Do you have Kiko polishes in your collection?

Bye for now,

Laura

Monday's Manicure: Barry M Butterfly Nail Art

Currently listening to: Echoes by Bo Bruce 

Good morning ladies,

How good it is to be back!  First post of 2014!  I started a new job at the beginning of January and since then have spent most weeks away on business, staying in hotels with limited wi-fi, limited opportunities for nail art and no opportunities to photograph any manicures I might have created.  I've tried to make time for nail art whenever possible at weekends so I do have a small selection of manicures to show you, starting with this one featuring a whole host of purple shade and some butterfly stamping.

I used Eyeko Lilac Polish as my base and then added a layer of Essence It's Purplicious glitter.

I then stamped various butterfly images on my nails using Barry M Blackberry and MoYou London plate Pro Collection 09.

I hadn't used any of these images before so it was a good chance to try them out.

What do you think girls?

Bye for now,

Laura
