Hey all =] 


Apologies again for my serious lack of posting, I'v just been unbelievably busy lately! Also I have tried catching up on all your awesome posts but if I haven't dropped a comment I'm really sorry and will get down to it soon!


Anyway, onto the nails =]


I'v been leaving my nails kind of plain lately because of the lack of time I'v had to do anything fun to them. So here's some pretty pics of China Glaze's Strawberry Fields which I wore recently. 

Strawberry Fields is a gorgeous almost shocking pink with golden micro shimmers that shine like crazy and make this polish special. 


If I had time I think I would have liked to stamp something over it in black, but hey there's always next time!


I'm writing and scheduling another few posts to be up in the next two days or so, so hopefully you'l be able to look forward to those instead of waiting for me to come back after a few weeks and apologise!


Okies peeps I'm gonna go off and get writing so I'l talk to you all very soon! 


Don't forget to let me know what you think of this polish!


Love ya'll!

Hello!! 


For today's post I thought I'd share with you all some newly released or about-to-be-released beauty and nail products which I recently found out about.


First up is a beauty product which got me SUPER excited and I seriously can't wait to share it with you! Its a BB cream by the Boots brand 17 which will be released around November time and seems to actually work like a BB cream! *cough cough Garnier* =P I read about it here. It seems that it will be priced at £6.99 which is a very reasonable price and will be available in two shades, light and medium. I seriously can't wait to try this out! Let me know what you think of this, will you be checking it out? Also what do you guys think of the BB cream hype, are you glad UK brands are coming out with them or do you not really care?

Next I found out from the lovely Beauty Shades about some newly released nail polishes from 17, and these are very special as they'r magnetic! Man I have always dreamed of owning a magnetic polish since they always seemed to be released in other countries apart from here in the UK! But finally, thanks to Boots 17, we now have an entire set of gorgeous coloured magnetic polishes =D These are priced a tad steeply at £5.99 but I think they'r competing with Nails Inc, so comparing to them these are way cheaper! I'm running down to my local Boots tomorrow to pick up the blue one for myself, so hopefully I'l show you a swatch of that very soon =] Will any of you be getting yourself a bottle or two?

Next up is the Models Own Beetlejuice Collection of polishes which I'm sure most of you already know about, but I just found out because of my recent absence from the blogosphere! Anyway these bottle pictures left me drooling all over my keyboard and I'm pretty excited for these to be released so I can see if they'r anything like the promo pics and worth buying or not. These won't be released until November and should hopefully be priced at the usual £5.00. What to you think of this collection? Love it or loath it?

And finally I found out about Barry M releasing two new Nail Effects polishes, but these aren't crackles! These are supposed to be gold and silver foil effect polishes. Sounds to me like uber famous China Glaze's 2030 or Millennium. How cool would it be to get a good gold or silver polish that applies in one coat, dries fast and looks like foil?! Oh and minus the super expensive price tag which China Glaze carries for us girlies living in the UK! These are priced at £3.99 and are available in stores and online now. So here's what they look like and I expect they'l be awesome for stamping with =] Will you be picking either one up?

So those are some new products which I recently found out about and felt like sharing with you all =] I hope you enjoyed this post and I'l talk to you all soon =]

Hey all! 


I haven't been able to post anything lately because I've been super busy with Uni and other stuff, so I apologise for the total lack of posts =/ Forgive me, please? 
=]
I also haven't even been able to keep up to date with the blogs I follow but I will make sure once I get more time I'l catch up with all your amazing posts i'v missed out on. 


So how come I found time today to post? I'm ill. =( With a massive headache and sore throat and all that other good stuff so I figured since I'm not moving around doing anything I'l pass the time by posting =]


I thought today I'd show you a mani I did a little while ago which I absolutely adore, as it combines some of my fave things together... duochrome, sparkle and roses =]


So firstly I painted my nails in Accessorize's Pink Spice, a beautiful duochrome pinky red colour  which shifts from red to pink to orange to gold. 

Isn't is pretty?! The colour is very foily and soooo much brighter and sparkly in real life.


Next I used the rose design from my giant stamping plate. I stamped it onto my nails with Colour Clubs Where's the Soiree.

I love the way the colour just changes! Like one second its a bright cherry red and next its a super shiny rose gold!

So i'm in love with this mani but I want to know what you think =] Do you own Pink Spice or any of its dupes?


I'l try my best from now on to catch up with everything i'v missed out on and post regularly too since i'l get settled into uni and will have more time on my hands soon. Thank you all for being so supportive and for your uber sweet messages while I was away =] Love you all!


♥♥♥

Hey eh =]

So for this mani I decided to use a Barry M polish which i'd never tried out before, called Red Glitter. Lol such an original name... =P

Its super pretty and this is two coats of solid red shiny goodness =] The only downside to this polish is that its a topcoat eater, so after about er seven coats of topcoat it still felt a little gritty to the touch. I still love the effect though, but next time I may have to use another method for application to prevent the polish drinking up my topcoats!

Did you notice anything different...? 
The way I applied this polish is different to how I normally do it! Usually I don't leave a gap between the cuticle and polish because no matter how many times i'v tried to before I'v always failed and make a huge mess lol, but this time I experimented again and succeeded =D I don't know if I like applying it this way... it's much slower than my normal way. But on a better note I had to do no clean up whatsoever! Woo!!!! Seriously I had no glitter mess anywhere so that was a super good thing =]


Ok onto the second part of this mani, and I added a layer of Sally Hansen's Crackle Overcoat in Distressed Denim. Originally I wanted a navy coloured shatter to go over the red glitter but I don't own one, so made do with the blue one which I do have. And guess what?! It turned navy! Lol I was sooo happy =P

I seriously love this look! Reminds me of a volcanic eruption, red hot lava and dark ash...
Oh and yes I forgot to take a pic of my er claw =P


So what do you think of this mani? Are you guys tired of crackle polishes or can't you, like me, get enough of them?!


♥♥♥

So firstly I have to apologise because I've been gone for like a whole month without informing you guys =(
Butttt there is a reason to why I'v been away for so long.
I'm fine and nothing happened to me, but the same can't be said for my laptop lol =P I er somehow managed to smash my laptop screen with my knee?! =S And its taken a while to get it fixed.
Luckily its all ok now and the laptop is looking and working great again, so I shall be blogging like normal =D


I can't wait to catch up with all the awesome blog posts i've missed out on and I also can't wait to show you my own posts! 
So let's get right back to it shall we?! =P


=]


Here's a funky, cute and girly nail design inspired by THIS awesome gal.

Firstly I used a sheer pink polish as a base and then I used a gorgeous holographic pink glitter striper polish and OPI's Teenage Dream to sponge onto my nails in a gradient effect. Over this I stamped using Models Own Purple Passion for the butterflies and MoYou White Special polish for the flowers. Really simple design to do which was a lot of fun to create too!


Sorry the photos look so washed out, the design was wayyy more visible in real life. Clicking on the pics and enlarging should help in seeing all the detail better =]




Oh wanna see my smashed up laptop screen?? 

=S =S =S


I have a really bad habit (er used to have because I suddenly lost the habit after this incident! =P) where I always sit on the floor and use my laptop. So one day i'm doing just that and suddenly my phone starts ringing which was on my bed all the way on the other side of my room. So as I get up to answer it, I accidentally knocked over the laptop and stumbled and my knee landed right on the top of the screen! 
(I totally blame my bestie Sonia who was the one ringing me, this is like so her fault. =P)

It looks like an octopus. 
I should sell it to Tate Modern. A futuristic modern abstract form of digital art. Heck yea! =P


I'l talk to you all soon my amazing readers =] Love ya'll! You won't believe how much i've missed you all *sobs* Lol
