<br />
Hello girls,<br />
<br />
Today's
manicure is one which has been inspired by countless photos on
Instagram (it my biggest regret that my phone will not allow me to
upload pictures on Instagram, by the way) and feels very summery.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I painted my thumb and ring finger with a Color Club white shade, my index and small finger with Nails Inc Spitalfields and my middle finger with Color Club Harp On It.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then painted flowers on the white nails using a dotting tool and Essence Very Berry, Nails Inc Spitalfields and A'Pieu Glow.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finished by adding a few dots of Harp On It around the flowers.</div>

<br />
Hello girls,<br />
<br />
Today's manicure features Beauty UK Soft Lilac as the base.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am partial to purple polishes but this has got to be one of my favourite shades. It's actually one of the few polishes I feel I would need to replace once it runs out, which is strange considering I wear it so rarely.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sticking with the purple theme, I stamped a floral pattern using Kiko 378 and Bundle Monster plate BM 321.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidIS_54Eez1cjgC4TIaLTvWQKcZUWCNEHy39jCtQbfkA6My4zno_coDc_wCvonu43CTGJIuIXoQ_K5JcsWJVQVEMei6y_mMDh4ZQpa9I4krvmjUJ6hdmdnQiztDeZAeH_LI7QA-I81Ca5C/s1600/SAM_6629.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidIS_54Eez1cjgC4TIaLTvWQKcZUWCNEHy39jCtQbfkA6My4zno_coDc_wCvonu43CTGJIuIXoQ_K5JcsWJVQVEMei6y_mMDh4ZQpa9I4krvmjUJ6hdmdnQiztDeZAeH_LI7QA-I81Ca5C/s1600/SAM_6629.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Kiko purple is also another favourite that hasn't been shown enough love.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Hello dear readers,<br />
<br />
Today's manicure features one of my favourite polishes, Mystic Mauve by Models Own.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg7GTUA4JDLaJHRguuTbGCoLCLkG4SzuQIfQlMGSKIpK-1sO80r4AjCImLmd-B93Y3WzqkPlv-QEtaeEV0F-CuCUYBevlwOQduS3aqTtE-szgCVAdOYMCw4MaGEGP7FChPivr7qZN_iaAf/s1600/SAM_6595.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg7GTUA4JDLaJHRguuTbGCoLCLkG4SzuQIfQlMGSKIpK-1sO80r4AjCImLmd-B93Y3WzqkPlv-QEtaeEV0F-CuCUYBevlwOQduS3aqTtE-szgCVAdOYMCw4MaGEGP7FChPivr7qZN_iaAf/s1600/SAM_6595.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's not one I wear often, partly because I never know what colours to combine with it for stamping and partly because I really don't like the smell of Models Own polishes.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to use black for stamping and I went will a butterfly image from Bundle Monster plate BM 307.</div>

<br />
Good morning girls,<br />
<br />
I started today's manicure with two coats of Yes Love K021, a pastel pink shade.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoseRxirJOcEjYKE_rrOvVfCJRbgDJANx3dDtO5UKCJklZxKj0_jTYjuCj_3RMGJl0qD2cEICp_TOBIi_Vk5sBkPJ7A_m4suzYAx41GXqQSA-plRK2rYKhPyMv42HKy8dZ-Vx9WeFCK1X5/s1600/SAM_6563.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoseRxirJOcEjYKE_rrOvVfCJRbgDJANx3dDtO5UKCJklZxKj0_jTYjuCj_3RMGJl0qD2cEICp_TOBIi_Vk5sBkPJ7A_m4suzYAx41GXqQSA-plRK2rYKhPyMv42HKy8dZ-Vx9WeFCK1X5/s1600/SAM_6563.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think the Yes Love polishes cost under €1 so I never expect much from them but this shade applied really well for a pastel so I was pleasantly surprised. If I hadn't planned on covering it with stamping I would have added another coat to hide the ridges in my nails ;-)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYhBgCwB6Hdi_vHr_2eYPhBE5_IXtR8E77yOhyXSobE8_0zOSf_56rBaMUgda6sZLixbAqjGaVdBsMY8vZM4Xg3ohyphenhyphen3N6kDF9qrDweWBkutwr6JnoMBgl32bessCDp5ZE47fOgfjuhe-Et/s1600/SAM_6564.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYhBgCwB6Hdi_vHr_2eYPhBE5_IXtR8E77yOhyXSobE8_0zOSf_56rBaMUgda6sZLixbAqjGaVdBsMY8vZM4Xg3ohyphenhyphen3N6kDF9qrDweWBkutwr6JnoMBgl32bessCDp5ZE47fOgfjuhe-Et/s1600/SAM_6564.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
My second step was to stamp diagonal lines using a white Easy Paris polish and Bundle Monster plate BM 310. I say this every time but this pattern is one of my favourites to use as a base for double stamping.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuWMz0RZSZXl2Z-3uJ82XP6eh03AQDWQoJ2b9ZEOFpjecso5ZSNLCkSlt28akiMQs8ksgp9a_HdaaLr4Tl9D_dmhgwtQyBRLIqlER5v46Kq4claenqqtM6kT8eNv4aoXGeN2_uSuIJ8ZEr/s1600/SAM_6565.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuWMz0RZSZXl2Z-3uJ82XP6eh03AQDWQoJ2b9ZEOFpjecso5ZSNLCkSlt28akiMQs8ksgp9a_HdaaLr4Tl9D_dmhgwtQyBRLIqlER5v46Kq4claenqqtM6kT8eNv4aoXGeN2_uSuIJ8ZEr/s1600/SAM_6565.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then stamped some flowers using Yes Love 477 and Bundle Monster BM16.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtp9QuZAmw7j8kRq7vFCkRk0OtGlFEOsuBF2Mcfd2Y6FH67VlDtuK_qsXsBkbz8cq7E5-AAefM8x9A5Spc67_h-L0opzMRWAJQ3c7kqSdZUWzgPiTWmk3evMibnmI6CAjx95j7B90LKWJ3/s1600/SAM_6569.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtp9QuZAmw7j8kRq7vFCkRk0OtGlFEOsuBF2Mcfd2Y6FH67VlDtuK_qsXsBkbz8cq7E5-AAefM8x9A5Spc67_h-L0opzMRWAJQ3c7kqSdZUWzgPiTWmk3evMibnmI6CAjx95j7B90LKWJ3/s1600/SAM_6569.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, I added a layer of Kiko Sparkle Touch but it didn't show up well on camera unfortunately so I don't have a photo of the final look but this is pretty close.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Good morning ladies,<br />
<br />
Sometimes,
when my evening does not go as planned, I end up getting up very early
the following morning and painting my nails before I go to work. This never ends well.<br />

Last week I painted my nails with Essie Cascade Cool at about 6.30am. At 12.30pm I sat on my hands and ended up with the texture of the chair cushion imprinted on my nails!</div>

<br />
Hello ladies,<br />
<br />
Today's manicure features my first polish from Claire's Accessories (or is it just Claire's these days?).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPv6wujrg9aseQ5x9zk20lZFR78moWfszHnM2ZIPjipBQHjjgl49uxh1mjl23hXtWGs2tlGzBR_FVxq1E_Sq09oqvGu2yXiTrduevOSk7SpoF65mt5gSiFMo2SzZqZOLYZhCfXJua2_ZLu/s1600/SAM_6414.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPv6wujrg9aseQ5x9zk20lZFR78moWfszHnM2ZIPjipBQHjjgl49uxh1mjl23hXtWGs2tlGzBR_FVxq1E_Sq09oqvGu2yXiTrduevOSk7SpoF65mt5gSiFMo2SzZqZOLYZhCfXJua2_ZLu/s1600/SAM_6414.JPG" height="300" width="400" /> T</a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
A fellow blogger recently alerted me to the fact that Claire's stocked multi-coloured glitters, akin to the type I'd only previously seen sold by indie polish makers so I felt obliged to see what I could find in my local shop.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAEmAAEXb10HotUbclirx9SfGO0I6Zn2hrWGGVNez1IeejScbDNx5tJPn7-ZpD778PqwgLNa9_wzD_mPJ22MJ8PEyTlk3MAnB4AiBSYma9_r3J8fgTqMvB5PtR19O2ZJv5Li7jIDUoc-ou/s1600/SAM_6416.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAEmAAEXb10HotUbclirx9SfGO0I6Zn2hrWGGVNez1IeejScbDNx5tJPn7-ZpD778PqwgLNa9_wzD_mPJ22MJ8PEyTlk3MAnB4AiBSYma9_r3J8fgTqMvB5PtR19O2ZJv5Li7jIDUoc-ou/s1600/SAM_6416.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
There were so many colours I was tempted by but not knowing the quality of the brand, and not needing any solid colours, I decided to stick to a couple of glitters. This first one is called Sequins and consists of black, white and pink confetti suspended in clear polish.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I layered it over Barry M Silver Foil and then stamped a couple of butterflies on each nail using MUA shade 2 and Konad plate m36.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Hello ladies,<br />
<br />
As
I mentioned in yesterday's post, that manicure was a base for today's
design which features my attempt at free-handing cherry blossom. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
In addition to the three polishes I showed you yesterday (Essence Sweet as Candy, Barry M Diamond Glitter, A'Pieu Twinkle Nail Touch), I also used a pink shade from Yes Love, Accessorize Lilac Sorbet, No7 Beanie and Essence Free Hugs.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_YQuiShf8BTf6W_p-yQpJe1Ohx2TLXPjGGycSOlKCxKbtzmpxhRzQq19dPPOi4h8OlM8lWom1Z9IDf0lGT6cuVyYOXVqImVQGB8Zh19k4iJvjluXALeG9NkNx9dSzJDWImLHyg9FKNNJv/s1600/SAM_6271.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_YQuiShf8BTf6W_p-yQpJe1Ohx2TLXPjGGycSOlKCxKbtzmpxhRzQq19dPPOi4h8OlM8lWom1Z9IDf0lGT6cuVyYOXVqImVQGB8Zh19k4iJvjluXALeG9NkNx9dSzJDWImLHyg9FKNNJv/s1600/SAM_6271.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I drew branches on each nail using No7 Beanie and a nail striper brush.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq7nm3JuMsd38kzJ-vbCsvARGrcNu6QQzzY1nVGIFtlFIDR8PpSHiDadC6TEJEwYxzmfCwpeHM32IWQfqdrk-2CYPjRWxNkyKacE2jk7gxW8NVrXUlKT5zTEzhUNn2-8rDFb4YG_jqzOzp/s1600/SAM_6272.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq7nm3JuMsd38kzJ-vbCsvARGrcNu6QQzzY1nVGIFtlFIDR8PpSHiDadC6TEJEwYxzmfCwpeHM32IWQfqdrk-2CYPjRWxNkyKacE2jk7gxW8NVrXUlKT5zTEzhUNn2-8rDFb4YG_jqzOzp/s1600/SAM_6272.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then used the Yes Love polish and a dotting tool to place several circles on each nail to form the centre of each flower.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_LsXhbrqLxhRhGi0OevBt-CRZfZr8uqH9V7EX4weTPWa7hrDmlBwzzt9CZLF5Y2EDES4tix6H-GaYLq6BQ8Sh-hsWI1UKTpRq8iQvB7LgcLIrrxo2fKf89I6ZcqoexRbCoWBs6UR-8dfV/s1600/SAM_6275.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_LsXhbrqLxhRhGi0OevBt-CRZfZr8uqH9V7EX4weTPWa7hrDmlBwzzt9CZLF5Y2EDES4tix6H-GaYLq6BQ8Sh-hsWI1UKTpRq8iQvB7LgcLIrrxo2fKf89I6ZcqoexRbCoWBs6UR-8dfV/s1600/SAM_6275.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, I used my dotting tool and Accessorize Lilac Sorbet and Essence Free Hugs to form the petals of the flowers. The spacing on my right hand was better than my left so for once I'm actually showing you my right hand as well.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with Essence Sweet as Candy and a layer of Barry M Diamond Glitter.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I see so many beautiful manicures on Instagram that feature pale pinks like this and I absolutely love them, despite knowing they're not for me. Every now and then I try them though, just to make sure ;-)</div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then applied a coat of A'Pieu Twinkle Nail Touch, a clear polish full of heart, diamond and circular-shaped muilticoloured glitter.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Good morning girls,<br />
<br />
I'm back after a short leave of absence with the manicure I wore over the Easter weekend.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is two coats of Barry M Blue Moon topped with Essence Glorious Aquarius.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's only about 1/3 of Blue Moon left in the bottle but it applied surprisingly well for a polish at that stage of its life. It's not a polish I'd wear on its own as I feel it doesn't suit my skin tone but I can't deny how pretty it is.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Glorious Aquarius is a great layering polish, one which I think I'd previously only worn over silver. I like how it looks over blue.</div>

Today's manicure was inspired by a photo posted on Instagram by victory_nails.<br />

I'm not sure whether I even like houndstooth but I liked the overall look of this design and thought I could get away with wearing it to the office ;-)</div>

<br />
Good morning ladies,<br />
<br />
Another glitter manicure for you today, something bright and spring-like to end the week. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7bHa6iZlYuvw6sYDgqJZp-3-sogjwyzjXYDzNeGpwW1WbvHoA6xmHzfbKQhc2PcQjoE26RUWBYP2HLZ1LGcvif_csW5FHJ3VAZXRbcP8ZArpKzxjeijIjqt7vQYQc0INc2hpH5cYzBZvD/s1600/SAM_6240.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7bHa6iZlYuvw6sYDgqJZp-3-sogjwyzjXYDzNeGpwW1WbvHoA6xmHzfbKQhc2PcQjoE26RUWBYP2HLZ1LGcvif_csW5FHJ3VAZXRbcP8ZArpKzxjeijIjqt7vQYQc0INc2hpH5cYzBZvD/s1600/SAM_6240.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is Accessorize Lilac Sorbet topped with L'Oreal Confetti. </div>
<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq4jPKmXdd8JaovSHPyz3KnWgAOQm41qoqpA4I1S6acVxv4Cm5Nz32Mcxc2yM6noMc3bUTyPc4ATxLPrMKsZc5P6xhn2VtKIHjx4TTw-4yE1atJmLlN0PjrX6CkX3SDpo_RXGRRrATGd64/s1600/SAM_6241.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq4jPKmXdd8JaovSHPyz3KnWgAOQm41qoqpA4I1S6acVxv4Cm5Nz32Mcxc2yM6noMc3bUTyPc4ATxLPrMKsZc5P6xhn2VtKIHjx4TTw-4yE1atJmLlN0PjrX6CkX3SDpo_RXGRRrATGd64/s1600/SAM_6241.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
As much as I like Confetti, it is difficult to control the glitter distribution and achieve an ever coverage, as evidence by the abundance of black glitter on my middle finger! I don't think it detracts from the prettiness of the manicure though and a colleague actually complimented me on my nails when I wore this to work so that was nice.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you think girls? If you own this polish do you find it hard to control as well?</div>

<br />
On Monday I showed you Essence Oh My Glitter topped with Models Own Boogie Nights.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought it would be nice to add some nail art so first I stamped a heart image using Dior Graphic Berry and Bundle Monster plate BM 317.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRcuNmIa-P8QzU_hvcmXsXg06gqnpJOGHuHF-afFq2vTJF0jMS04St8MeoGaL8q9Ko274Op41CV6GXi1l9AJ_0ivHuVmAC0p2E2Np1A1hF4KZHX9wySjgdnJkuQOMw53aI0zWTXJ_4fif7/s1600/SAM_6119.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRcuNmIa-P8QzU_hvcmXsXg06gqnpJOGHuHF-afFq2vTJF0jMS04St8MeoGaL8q9Ko274Op41CV6GXi1l9AJ_0ivHuVmAC0p2E2Np1A1hF4KZHX9wySjgdnJkuQOMw53aI0zWTXJ_4fif7/s1600/SAM_6119.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
To bring more attention to the hearts I decided to stamp the same pattern again, this time using Barry M Silver Foil.</div>

<br />
Good morning ladies,<br />
<br />
Sticking with the glitter theme, today's manicure is purple based.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with Essence Oh My Glitter, a pretty purple with red, bronze, purple and blue shimmer running through it. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLCHchSEXyLn-yFusM53vZH9ZF5G08o5QginHiV14-iVj_JH8Ik5RZaeuUV26vvuW1GfFonGaxpupAzBH1Ie_5krBnWurBRk2paeQcywbta21bJ_FZCvfej2Ih7WZoS2Nlwc6D4FsymQl_/s1600/SAM_6098.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLCHchSEXyLn-yFusM53vZH9ZF5G08o5QginHiV14-iVj_JH8Ik5RZaeuUV26vvuW1GfFonGaxpupAzBH1Ie_5krBnWurBRk2paeQcywbta21bJ_FZCvfej2Ih7WZoS2Nlwc6D4FsymQl_/s1600/SAM_6098.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then added Models Own Boogie Nights.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a clear polish featuring assorted colours, shapes and sizes of glitter.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was fairly easy to get an even distribution of glitter on each nail and most of it lay flat, apart from a few troublesome metallic shards ;-)</div>
<br />

<br />
Good morning ladies,<br />
<br />
Today's manicure is simple but it features glitter so that must be good.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with Essie Bobbing for Baubles, a grey-toned navy polish which looks amazingly glossy in these photos.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I then sponged Models Own Ibiza Mix on to the base of my nails.</div>

If ever I apply glitter to only part of my nails, it's usually the tips so this was a bit different for me and I really liked it.</div>

<br />
Hello ladies,<br />
<br />
Today's
manicure is one I'm really proud of and absolutely loved wearing but of
course it was really difficult to photograph. Isn't that always the
way?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with a base of Kiko 254, a very pretty magenta pink full of shimmer which I've only worn a couple of times since buying it several years ago. I will definitely be wearing this more often in the future now that I've been reminded how special it is.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then stamped a full nail image using Barry M Silver Foil and Bundle Monster plate BM 310. This is one of my favourite images to use for double stamping. I love how crisp the image stamps.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-h987ZJY0oL-keYYXKMz_jHomoKTzauoV8gowwSIuaoWlSmoptf9qPyCAutAusT-KS7aAkuf4qjO1PZlTcayIuuUM6oMmyu9wWNmARIQJYC57D5YC291ipALSum6TJtdbe3hSBUgZZLjn/s1600/SAM_6072.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-h987ZJY0oL-keYYXKMz_jHomoKTzauoV8gowwSIuaoWlSmoptf9qPyCAutAusT-KS7aAkuf4qjO1PZlTcayIuuUM6oMmyu9wWNmARIQJYC57D5YC291ipALSum6TJtdbe3hSBUgZZLjn/s1600/SAM_6072.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
To finish, I used Essence Free Hugs to stamp the flower pattern on Bundle Monster plate BM 224, another of my favourite images. I was surprised how clearly this stamped for a pastel shade.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This made me think of cherry blossom, which I absolutely love, and I'm sure I'll be reproducing this manicure in the months to come.</div>

<br />
Good morning ladies,<br />
<br />
Today's manicure is bright and almost spring-like as we make our way ever closer to that season.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSCYTJwBFlTav3uTeE4xkkulod0DZ7qnXCtizu6JIy8y149hwucUEs84X22GrUwNjMjHWH4L5oDmNxAvh3ScHEfYTAbq1s_tP-oTS-laYlriz4iemFuu9kwtUda__lo14uvb5LEUPiybOc/s1600/SAM_6032.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSCYTJwBFlTav3uTeE4xkkulod0DZ7qnXCtizu6JIy8y149hwucUEs84X22GrUwNjMjHWH4L5oDmNxAvh3ScHEfYTAbq1s_tP-oTS-laYlriz4iemFuu9kwtUda__lo14uvb5LEUPiybOc/s1600/SAM_6032.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">
I used three colours for my base: Color Club Harp On It, a silver holographic shade, a white no-name Color Club shade and Nail Pop It's Mint, the bluest shade of "mint" I've ever seen.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNJJsauaHPHSso7CW4fi9lme4RdiqC6ATL5ogtkAcZPPtI_uGGb2H2BC207_IkevceEouBjhN5eH1fWanVg-XEEWXDfA6GVjblUnyl8FtVomu0mANIhBF09Qla8kiN66ptU3I4BJpRrPAm/s1600/SAM_6038.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNJJsauaHPHSso7CW4fi9lme4RdiqC6ATL5ogtkAcZPPtI_uGGb2H2BC207_IkevceEouBjhN5eH1fWanVg-XEEWXDfA6GVjblUnyl8FtVomu0mANIhBF09Qla8kiN66ptU3I4BJpRrPAm/s1600/SAM_6038.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using a design akin to those I've seen on various blogs and Instagram pictures I then painted dots on three nails.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGe7Cbq7D9Vm3Mv-MeEqeBT9KyE0XvQrUY_-WODSTyYoMbhVBZsynonjYFMw5qXNz0pP32x65rBYlEhs0xO4B_xX3Z6e65VF7SvIniZAdkBjqDhylzzgb15GkOYbOiiLhGhYVto0Jp-vUS/s1600/SAM_6040.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGe7Cbq7D9Vm3Mv-MeEqeBT9KyE0XvQrUY_-WODSTyYoMbhVBZsynonjYFMw5qXNz0pP32x65rBYlEhs0xO4B_xX3Z6e65VF7SvIniZAdkBjqDhylzzgb15GkOYbOiiLhGhYVto0Jp-vUS/s1600/SAM_6040.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I even managed to capture the holographic effect when the sun was kind enough to shine.</div>
<br />

<br />
Hello ladies,<br />
<br />
Today's manicure is very simple but full of colour.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHExj4szmjHcuG4SCKUvYU7an9XWA2qe_EspO3PR-ORP3lWBpXP12zmyj2qcryVjVKml6MJwSJX9N6XE_fUBJINHJYbfbBc1X3Spz4eDoPFmZvhEJAMvpcc-JHDL0Fe1Z50iOGH2R6UtZ2/s1600/SAM_6026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHExj4szmjHcuG4SCKUvYU7an9XWA2qe_EspO3PR-ORP3lWBpXP12zmyj2qcryVjVKml6MJwSJX9N6XE_fUBJINHJYbfbBc1X3Spz4eDoPFmZvhEJAMvpcc-JHDL0Fe1Z50iOGH2R6UtZ2/s1600/SAM_6026.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with Nails Inc Mayfair as my base, a pearly cream shade which I didn't photograph on its own as it does not suit my skin tone and I didn't make it fully opaque as I knew I would be covering it.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCQzpA0wQ8pQ_mnkrnXs83vC5zsLH6I8QrdFWUYP3TQXQtHTDlhDdFn5yX-Xyh4bPitHI71Oy5cWq-j6PjMxZckqgbwSWxafBW_Bms18cdKxRlY2Egf4vOzB8sNSMk1Xya50DqGvG0JJtI/s1600/SAM_6027.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCQzpA0wQ8pQ_mnkrnXs83vC5zsLH6I8QrdFWUYP3TQXQtHTDlhDdFn5yX-Xyh4bPitHI71Oy5cWq-j6PjMxZckqgbwSWxafBW_Bms18cdKxRlY2Egf4vOzB8sNSMk1Xya50DqGvG0JJtI/s1600/SAM_6027.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then added a layer of Innis Free glitter shade 121, a grey-toned white polish full of multicoloured glitter.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGFsAca5TdT-vn6x11wf0j8_tw0EGJa8P1KMlv-Ow70AfCqpYRFAgfTh0gV5qSLcwO2drTdHSIOy6e_MLIvKnArqCK7loBTd4ZCBq2Mtydyul3hYE-RJc2K73aBHOxrdxVlsToKsi1GjFH/s1600/SAM_6028.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGFsAca5TdT-vn6x11wf0j8_tw0EGJa8P1KMlv-Ow70AfCqpYRFAgfTh0gV5qSLcwO2drTdHSIOy6e_MLIvKnArqCK7loBTd4ZCBq2Mtydyul3hYE-RJc2K73aBHOxrdxVlsToKsi1GjFH/s1600/SAM_6028.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ordered this polish from a Korean website a couple of years ago but I think this may be the first time I've worn it. I really love it, I just wonder how it would look over other colours aside from white.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Good morning girls,<br />
<br />
A
while ago I cut my nails as they were just getting too long and I was
experiencing a few peels. This was my first manicure with short nails.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is MUA shade 5, a green polish that I loved so much that I bought a back up. That was the only time I have ever bought a back up.</div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
If I bought this polish now I definitely wouldn't buy a back up. I think nowadays I try to buy shades I can get more use out of ie work appropriate.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I added NYC Lights Camera Glitter to the tips of my nails, a clear polish full of blue, purple and silver glitter.</div>

Today's manicure is a tribute to Paris, a city I love.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
My base is Nails Inc Elizabeth Street, a very pale pink, which I then covered with a layer of Essence Night in Vegas.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stamped my accent nail with a black polish and MoYou London plate Tourist Collection 07.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN5adQOwyp8DZGGoo8vEww2p1CklUpTAkqJ_CucJZBSQMOxW2g_mEaQizJJRzIJ_CpijHv99fMWOUWNWGmQMtd6USLNy7sN4ud63yb_cY_HWWrclAb4ng2s-HVmMSF8V-pSNHQ-1znrQ6L/s1600/SAM_6006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN5adQOwyp8DZGGoo8vEww2p1CklUpTAkqJ_CucJZBSQMOxW2g_mEaQizJJRzIJ_CpijHv99fMWOUWNWGmQMtd6USLNy7sN4ud63yb_cY_HWWrclAb4ng2s-HVmMSF8V-pSNHQ-1znrQ6L/s1600/SAM_6006.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then stamped my other nails with 17 Knockout Red and MoYou London Pro Collection 09. Unfortunately the polish wasn't dry when I stamped so my pinkie nail smudged quite badly. In other words, don't look too closely ;-)</div>

<br />
Good morning ladies,<br />
<br />
Time for a very girly manicure today featuring pink polish, glitter and hearts.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
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.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I then added a layer of Kiko Sparkle Touch and No7 Daisy Darling.</div>

<br />
Hello ladies,<br />
<br />
Another purple manicure for you today, this time featuring Kiko Violet Microglitter, shade 255.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
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. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
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.</div>

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.</div>

Good morning ladies,<br /><br />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.</div>

<br />
I spent the past week
at my parents' house where I don't have my usual nail station so the
manicure I'm showing you today has been on my nails for a while. It's
held up really well, which is the great thing about glitter polishes.<br />
<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had been contemplating buying Essie A Cut Above but couldn't justify
the expense, especially for a polish that, realistically, I wouldn't
wear that often. However, when I saw the No7 set below in Boots reduced by
50% I grabbed it as the pink polish on the right looked pretty similar
to Essie A Cut Above. </div>

I was happy enough with that but when I bought the nail polish set on Boxing Day I decided to add the pink glitter too, Daisy.</div>

I'm not sure I've layered two glitters like this before but I'll definitely be doing it again the result was so sparkly and feminine.</div>
