Nails Inc Heddon Street and Westminster, Selfridges Beauty Box

I've got a couple of manicures to show you tonight -

What I used:

• Essie Trillionails basecoat
• Nails Inc Heddon Street (2 coats)
• Konad Gold and M57 leopard print
• Seche Vite topcoat

And the second one:

What I used:

• Essie Trillionaire basecoat
• Nails Inc Westminster (2 coats)
• Nail Pop Pearl Effect topcot (2 coats)
• Seche Vite topcoat

I think the second one is my favourite, I love the Nail Pop topcoat!

Finally, I just wanted to see what you all thought about me maybe blogging some beauty products. I was lucky enough to order a Selfridges Beauty Box this morning, after a prolonged struggle with the website (it crashed about 20 times during the process!) and I'm thinking about reviewing some of the products once I've used them for a while. I have a really quite ridiculous beauty product collection on top of the nail polish collection! Anyway, would a beauty product post bore you, or would you be interested in reading it?

Konad Q1 Pink!

Tonight's nails...I felt like doing some stamping (well, I wanted to last night but I RAN OUT of nail polish remover. I swear I get through a bottle a week!) so tonight I chose my favourite plate, Q1.

 This plate just makes me smile. I love the swallows! I really wish Konad would produce some more plates like this, with images that are a bit different from the usual flowers and things. I'd love to see a Konad plate with some really cool images, and I bet it would sell like crazy. I'm thinking tattoo flash stamps!

What I used:

• Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle basecoat
• Nail Pop in Vintage (2 coats)
• Konad Q1
• Konad Special Pink polish
• Seche Vite topcoat

Nail Pop Vintage Buzzing Bee!

Today I decided to do something a bit fun on my nails...


I started off with two coats of Nail Pop Vintage. I like this colour and it's quite nice to work with. I then drew on the flight of the bumblebee (geddit?) with the black Wah Nails pen. These can be quite tricky to draw with, as the nib is so sharp. Be careful not to gouge your polish. Then I drew on the bee outline and filled it in with Konad yellow polish, the white Wah Nails pen for the wings, and the black for his stripes. The whole lot was finished with a healthy coat of Seche Vite to smooth it all out.

Sunshine! (It's -10 degrees outside!)

Models Own Wah Nails Nail Art Pens

My rarely seen right hand!

What I used:

• Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle basecoat
• Nail Pop in Vintage (2 coats)
• Konad Special Yellow polish (for Mr Bee!)
• Models Own Wah Nails Nail Art Pens in white and black
• Seche Vite topcoat (lots of it!)

I had fun doing this one. I really need to practice this sort of thing more.

Nails Inc Burlington Arcade, Nail Pop Pearl Effect

Tonight's nails! I just had a little time this evening, so no stamping, but I tried out a colour I haven't worn before, and I love it! This is Nails Inc's Burlington Arcade:

Nails Inc Burlington Arcade (two coats)

As you can see from the last pictures, once I had painted my nails, I just couldn't leave well alone and added one coat of Nail Pop Pearl Effect, a lovely blue toned flaky topcoat. You should know by now that I can't leave a polish bare!


What I used:

• Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle basecoat
• Nails Inc Burlington Arcade mini (two coats)
• Nail Pop Pearl Effect topcoat
• Seche Vite topcoat

Should I learn to leave my polishes alone?

Jessica Cosmetics Hologram Duo with Nail Pop Catsuit - Frosty Nails!

Here is the manicure I did today! A couple of lovely people over on my Facebook page She Paints Her Nails suggested that I do snowflake nails to match the weather, but I have quite recently had snowflake nails, so I had a think and decided to do frosty nails instead!


I'll apologise now for the picture heavy post, I couldn't choose just a few...

Jessica Cosmetics Hologram Duo with Nail Pop Catsuit tips!

A peep of snow topped surroundings...

What I used:

• Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle basecoat
• Jessica Cosmetics Hologram Duo in Retro Revival base
• Jessica Cosmetics Hologram Duo in Disco Diva (3 coats)
• Nail Pop in Catsuit (sponged on tips)
• Seche Vite topcoat on tips 

What do you think? I think they go nicely with this snowy weather. I can't wait for all those lovely summer manicures I can create, though...
