Monday's Manicure (My Bundle Monster Entry)

Currently watching: The Voice

Good morning girls!  I don't think anyone likes Monday mornings but let's try to start the week off with a bang:

 

 

I started this manicure with two coats of a lilac polish by the Polish brand MV.

 

I then layered a coat of Max Factor Fantasy Fire on top.  You can't really see the flashes of red that Fantasy Fire produced here but under artificial light they were really strong.

I then stamped using Miss Sporty 313 and Bundle Monster plate BM223.

To finish, I then stamped the star design using Barry M Gold Foil and Bundle Monster plate BM21.

I really liked this manicure and actually entered it into Bundle Monster's nail art contest to win a set of their new image plates.  Fingers crossed ;-)

What do you think of this manicure girls?  Have you entered Bundle Monster's competition?

Bye for now,
Laura

Tuesday's Talons ft Freehanded Flowers

Good morning lovely ladies,

Today I have two firsts for you: my first attempt at free-handing flowers (fail) and my first showing of this golden polish by Polish company MV/Editt Cosmetics:

I've had this polish for about two years but I don't think I'd ever tried it before today. I have mixed feelings about it and can't decided whether I like the colour or not.

I must have been feeling creative when I painted my nails as I decided to use my dotting tool to freehand some flowers using Essence Just in Case for the petals and Natural Collection Raspberry for the centres.

I think I'll stick to my flower image plates in future. Free-handing is hard!

Bye for now,
Laura

Good evening girls!

I bought false nails on Saturday because last week at work I was with someone who had very long nails and I was envious. Envious of the gestures and sounds she was able to make with her lovely long nails. Anyway, I bought some cheap false nails just for fun and painted them purple then admired them while I was studying:

These looked so long to me when I applied them but my own nails used to be the same length. Why oh why won't they grow back? Urg.

I took them off on Sunday but I think I might file them down a bit, change the colour and wear them to work next week. I'm doing a course in the office in a room with another trainee so it won't matter if they fall off lol.

Do you feel comfortable wearing false nails?

Bye for now,

Laura
