Leighton Denny Rampant Rose

This is another one of the colours from the Leighton Denny Little Black Dress pack.

I quite like it. To be honest, it's just a standard red. I love reds, probably more than any other colour, but since I have so many, it does take something special to really stand out. This one is perfectly pleasant though. The formula is a bit patchy, but two coats was fine. Topcoat is Nubar Diamont, basecoat is Nails Inc Kensington Caviar.


What's your favourite colour group?

Leighton Denny Jailbird

Tonight, I used another Leighton Denny colour. I was thinking that it looked nice, that I quite fancied wearing green, so yep, started applying it...

It is beautiful. Italics and everything. I really, really like this colour. In the bottle it looks average, on the nail it's amazing. It's so pigmented that you could probably use just one coat (I used two, habit...)and it goes on extremely smoothly. This is the way that all polishes should be!

This is a mini bottle, by the way, my hands aren't ginormous

This is two coats of Jailbird, over Nails Inc Kensington Caviar basecoat, and Nubar Diamont topcoat. Lovely, right?! I really want to try more Leighton Denny polishes now, they're next on my list!

Leighton Denny Razzmatazz

I went to TK Maxx the other day and just look what they had in!!

It was £7.99, I couldn't leave without it. I love TK Maxx for nail bargains, they had loads of OPI and Nails Inc too. I get drawn in every time...

So, anyway, tonight I tried the purple, Razzmatazz.

I layered it over my all time favourite purple, Exposed Mystic, as it's quite thin and I hate to waste it. This is two coats of Mystic and two of Razzmatazz. The colour is beautiful, with flecks of purple, red and black. It dried to a disappointingly matte finish but that's nothing that Nubar Diamont topcoat (my new love) couldn't fix. Basecoat was Nails Inc Kensington Caviar.


Which colour would you like to see swatched next? I love them all!

Galaxy Nails Take Three!

Tonight I did Galaxy nails for the third time! I love doing them, and this time I used a lot more colour than I have before!

 

I used a lot of colours. Most of them can be found here: Galaxy Nails Take One, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments!

Galaxy Nails again!

This is my second go at galaxy style nails, and they came out pretty much the same...so this is just a quick picture post! My original post can be found HERE!

Galaxy Nails!

This is my first attempt at galaxy nails, and I'm pretty pleased with how they went:

What I used:

• Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle basecoat
• Boots No7 Betty Blues (2 coats)
• Barry M 293 Grey
• Models Own Lemon Meringue
• Models Own Snow White
• Leighton Denny Hanky Panky
• Nails Inc Albert Bridge topcoat

I started with a basecoat, then painted my nails with two coats of Boots No7 Betty Blues which is a midnight blue with a tiny bit of sparkle. I then sponged Barry M Grey diagonally across the nail. Once that was dry, I mixed a drop of Models Own Lemon Meringue, which is a very pale yellow, with Leighton Denny Hanky Panky, a metallic orange. I sponged this in a thinner line over the grey.

Once this was all dry I used a wooden toothpick to dot Models Own Snow White 'stars' onto the nail, and finished off with several coats of Nails Inc Albert Bridge topcoat, because without the shine, this look is nothing!!


I'm really pleased with my first attempt at nail art that isn't stamping.


What do you think?
