Tuesday's Talons: Time For Mystic Romance NOTD

Currently reading: Remember Me by Melvyn Bragg 

Good morning dear readers,

A very simple manicure today featuring a combination which worked beautifully:

 

This is Essence Time For Romance layered over Models Own Mystic Mauve.  I think I may try it as a gradient next time as I think it could be a great look for winter.

What do you think girls?

Sunday's Stamping: Oriental Butterflies NOTD

Currently watching: The X Factor 

Good afternoon ladies,

Today I have another butterfly manicure to show you, this time with a bit of an oriental twist.

 

I started with Barry M Gold Foil as my base but it was a bit harsh for my skin so I layered a coat of Beauty UK Topaz over it.  Then I used MUA Shade 2 to stamp black lines with Bundle Monster plate BM 316.  Finally, I stamped Konad m36 butterflies using a red polish and acrylic paint.

Tuesday's Talons: Elizabeth's Butterflies NOTD

Currently watching: Strictly It Takes Two

Good evening ladies,

As I'm sure all of you reading in the UK will be aware, Glamour recently offered a free Nails Inc nail polish with the latest magazine.  I chose Elizabeth Street, a pale pink which you can see below:

 

 For this manicure I stamped a pattern of inter-crossing silver lines using Barry M Silver Foil and a Bundle Monster plate.

 I then stamped lots of colourful butterflies using Konad image plate m36 and a variety of polishes by Nails Inc and Barry M.

What do you think of this girly design?

Bye for now,

Saturday's Sophisticated NOTD

Currently watching: Young Apprentice

Hi girls,

I'm starting the weekend with a simple yet sophisticated manicure, which I hope you all like.

 This is Saffron London shade 62 as the base finished with Saffron London 9 on the tips.

 A beautiful combination of two polishes made for each other.

What do you think? Do you own any Saffron London polishes?

Bye for now,

Laura

Thursday's Talons: Dotty Topaz NOTD

Currently reading: Remember Me by Melvyn Bragg

Good morning lovely ladies,

Today I have a very simple manicure to show you but it's a design that's new to me.

 I used Beauty UK Topaz as my base and then with a dotting tool added different sizes of dots in Accessorize Storm and (I think) Yesensy 32.

What do you think girls?

Monday's Manicure: Classy Polka Dot NOTD

Currently watching: Have I Got News For You

Good morning dear readers,

I'd like to start the week with a classy polka dot manicure inspired by Nail Stories:

I used two coats of All About Nails Caribbean Coconut as my base then free handed the tips with Nails Inc Victoria.

 

I added the polka dots with a dotting tool and, for the finishing touch, used a striper to add a line of silver glitter along the tips.

What do you think girls?

Bye for now,

Saturday's Party Princess NOTD

Currently watching: Young Apprentice 

Hello dear readers,

Today I have a simple manicure to show you which I wore when I didn't have time to stamp but didn't want plain nails.

 

I used Essence Cherry Juice as a base, which I must remember to only use for stamping in the future as it is a nightmare to remove.

 I then layered a coat of Essence Party Princess on top for some sparkle.

What do you think girls?

Bye for now,

Laura
