Due to some sad, unforseen circumstances I found myself in the UK on Boxing Day and will be here until the 12th January. As a result though, I have my mums camera and her polish to try out! This is her current UV gel system. She wants to get Shellac but the stockists are being [...]
Firstly, I need your help! I want to do a alternative bridal manicures to DIY post for a community I’m a part of – I already decided I want to do tutorial kinda thing for each look – but I’m trying to think of 4 or so differing funky mani’s that would be nice – [...]
So the first of the three accessorize polishes in full swatch today. This is Purple Dream from the Illusion line. Full sunlight, saturates the colour, but nice to see right? Slightly blurry shots, trying to capture the blue. This kind of captures the duo-chrome, but still not great. Ironically, blurry late night shot captures it [...]
Only a late night crap picture – but I’ll be sure to take some awesome ones tomorow. Pink Spice – I don’t think it’s dark enough to be a Bad Fairy, but it is duo-chrome. Can’t wait to see it in the daylight. Purple Dream – Purple/blue duo-chrome – will take better pictures in the [...]
So this sparkling blue is something a little unusal – A pretty plain blue, but then omg holographic glitter in 2 shapes…. om nom nom! This was a two coater, and dried all nice and fast and pretty smooth. Yeah, slightly crappy clean up – not much time before work…. I really like it though, [...]
So in the early hours of yesterday morning, the last of the Chilean miners and their rescuers were lifted from the collapsed mine after having been trapped approximately 700 metres underground for 69 days, of which the first 17 no-one knew they were alive for. As a geologist I watched the footage, from the men [...]
Long time no post, apologies for that one – been too busy having fun with Sophie- a friend who came over from the UK for a week. I’ll be getting back to normal this week, and hopefully back up to painting speed – though I’ve had some feedback on what people like to see – [...]
Don’t you just love how I posted these out of synch? *gigglesnort* Anyhows this is Mad about You, the blue holo from H&M. Like the others, the holo effect is more discrete than say OPI DS holos or Nfu.Oh, but the gentle nature of them is still very nice indeed. This colour took 3 coats [...]
So this is a quickie, and I will add next to it, but I’m super excited to have found these in the shops today. Sadly the two colours I really wanted (black and pink) were already gone – but I have no-doubt they will restock and I will have them. Equally I’ll keep a close [...]
Back to flowers today. Decided to tackle a larger piece of kimono silk, and then fought with some jeans variant of the ribbon flower. Todays offering to the craft gods. All so far together. using the same method as my tutorial, just with strips of jeans instead and afternoon nails as I smudged this mornings
