My base colours were Barry M Blue Moon and All About Nails Honey Pink.
I then stamped using Bundle Monster plate BM224 and Barry M Pure Turquoise and Konad Special polish in pink.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love this image!
Even if mistakes are made whilst stamping they're hardly noticeable with this stamp.
What do you think girls? Is it too early to be doing spring manicures?
I chose Honey Pink by All About Nails as my base. I love this colour, I really do. And it was only 99p.
I then stamped using a black polish by Wibo and Red Angel plates RA110 and RA120.
This polish isn't the best for stamping so once it runs out I think I'll be investing in a Barry M black.
I then added a glitter coat using Color Combos.
What do you think?
My base was a white polish by Natural Collection. The first coat was very streaky but its appearance improved with the second coat.
I then painted three roses on my two accent nails using acrylic paint and a nail brush. This was my first time free-handing roses. What do you think of them?
To finish I then free-handed the tips of my remaining nails with All About Nails Honey Pink.
I think it's the first time I've ever done a manicure like this and I have to say I was really pleased with the way it turned out. I hope you like it as much as I do :-)
Bye for now,
The plan was to do a pink gradient using three polishes: No7 Practically Pefect, Boots 17 Simply Perfect and All About Nails Honey Pink and a sponge. Practically Perfect is a new polish I bought last week using my No7 £5 voucher. I will do a post on it another time. All I'm going to say for now is that it is a lot less opaque than I expected. Perfect for French manicures but not what I had in mind. Anyway. The gradient turned out all right but it was too plain for my liking...
...so I stamped over it using E.L.F Pearl and Red Angel plate RA112. I didn't like the results because overall this manicure was just too pale for my skin tone. I removed it after about half an hour.
I chose Honey Pink by All About Nails as my base.
I then decided to do an accent nail and stamped using Konad Special White and Red Angel plate RA101. You'll notice only one hand has an accent nail. This is because I forgot to do that other one.
For the rest of the stamping, I used Red Angel plate 114 for a full nail heart image. I like the image but unfortunately only the first nail stamped well, the rest smudged a bit.
What do you think of this manicure girls? I liked the idea but I'm not so keen on the reality so I think as soon as I've finished typing this I'm going to remove it!
It also features another new polish I recently added to my collection, MUA Shade 20.
I stamped using a full nail floral image from Bundle Monster plate 201.
Stamping was slightly problematic due to the fact the polish is the same colour as my stamper so trying to line it up with my nail was rather tricky!
What do you think girls? Have you stamped using this image before?
I bought it at Tesco for 99p. The bottle holds 7ml of polish so quantity/price wise it's comparable to Superdrug's MUA brand which sell 6.2ml for £1 although personally I think the All About Nails bottle looks nicer.
This shade is called Honey Pink and in the photos you can see what it looks like with three coats.
It is a soft pink pastel creme and although I don't think it's an exact dupe, it is pretty similar to Barry M Pink Ice Cream.
Suitable for work or play and a great base for stamping, as you will see tomorrow ;-) Have you tried this brand before girls? If so, what did you think of it?
Bye for now,
