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

Exposed Mystic with Nails Inc Culford Gardens

Tonight's nails are nice and simple...I couldn't resist using the gorgeous Mystic again...I wish so much that I could show you the true colour though, I've never had a polish like it.

Looking blue!

I just added the gold dots with a dotting tool, nice and quick. I guess this was a bit of a 'favourites' manicure, as I love both of these colours and already use Culford Gardens a lot.

What I used:

• Nails Inc Kensington Caviar basecoat
• Exposed in Mystic (3 coats this time, looks lovely)
• Nails Inc Culford Gardens for the dots
• Seche Vite topcoat

Ooh, also, quite excited because my WAH Nails Book of Nail Art is on the way from Amazon...Will you be getting it?

Revlon Stunning

Since I am seemingly unable to leave my nails the same for more than 24 hours, I just put a coat of Revlon Stunning on top of last night's manicure...and since I'm also a little addicted to blogging, here are a couple of quick pictures!

Exposed in Flirt

Tonight's nails are, yes, you guessed it, another Exposed polish! I have yet to try one of these that I don't absolutely love. I am definitely buying more - at £2.99 a bottle I can't help myself!

This one is called Flirt. In the bottle it looks like a red/pink/raspberry type of colour. On the nail it's almost duochromey, it's different in every light, it actually almost flashes gold. Actually that's how I would describe it - it's like rose gold polish.

Some of these pictures are a bit samey but you get the idea...

Top picture - artificial light Bottom picture - daylight

What I used:

• Nails Inc Kensington Caviar basecoat
• Exposed in Flirt (3 coats)
• Seche Vite topcoat

I think what I like so much about these is the depth of colour, they're just so nice. The bottle says they're free of all the polish nasties too.

All kinds of pink! Nails Inc, Models Own and a cosmetic sponge...

Here are today's nails! An bit of an experiment, I haven't done this often:

Started with just one nail in case I didn't like it...

With Essie Matte About You

Tried it out in matte

I make such a mess when I'm doing my nails...

Shine time!

L-R: Nails Inc Beaumont Street, Max Factor Disco Pink, Models Own Pastel Pink, Nails Inc Pall Mall, Seche Vite

I did these nails by painting the basecoat - Models Own Pastel Pink - and then using a small piece of cosmetic sponge to sponge gradually darker colours towards the tip. I mixed the colours together to get the in between stages too, that was what I used Nails Inc Pall Mall for. I gave one hand a coat of Essie Matte About You to see what it was like, but I preferred it shiny in the end.


What I used:

• Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle basecoat (I still must get a new bottle!! Keep forgetting)
• Nails Inc Beaumont Street
• Max Factor Disco Pink
• Models Own Pastel Pink
• Nails Inc Pall Mall
• Seche Vite
• Cosmetic sponge for sponging and blending 

I quite like the results. What do you think?
