W7 Nail Polish - Mosaic (Nails Inc - Pudding Lane DUPE!)


 
 
Photo taken before I applied a clear top coat. Amazing dupe for Nail Inc's Pudding Lane! The W7 nail polish only cost me £1.99 from a market stall, whereas the Nails Inc's polish retails for £11 (daylight robbery!)
 
Anyone tried this dupe? Like it? Hate it? Want to try it?

Kooky Nail Wraps






I've been meaning to show you these nail wraps for the longest time! I was kindly given them to me a while back by a friend (thank you sooooo much Hannah!) , so thought I'd give them a shot as I have never tried nail wraps before. I wasn't just given 1 set I was given 6 - golly gosh how lucky am I!

As beautiful as they are not all of the sizes fitted my nails, hence the reason I thought I'd do an accent nail. I personally think nail wraps look better as an accent nail than a full set, plus an accent nail is much more practical!

They went on really easy, stuck well, and filed really nicely. I love the way they make my normal boring black nails look a bit jazzed up. Not sure how long they will last but I'll keep you updated. One corner has slightly lifted about a millimetre but it's barely noticeable. Think I might put a tiny bit of nail glue along the end of my nail to stop them from lifting

Have you guys tried nail wraps before? What are your opinions on them? - Yay or Nay?

(p.s -sorry for the muggy photos, had to take them in dim lighting to stop the nail wrap shining away!)

Motivation/Inspiration?






Sorry for the lack of motivation, haven't really been inspired to create any new nail designs lately :( . Here are a few random pictures from my phone of my thumb nail - random I know right? The polish in the last picture is one I made myself. Major sparkle overload!

I've still been keeping up to date with everyones' blogs. Hope you guys are well!

99p Nail Polish





This is the latest edition to my nail polish collection. It's by Technic and is called  Sweet Violet, not to mention it was only 99p from Bodycare!

What do you guys think?

Abit of This - Abit of That



These were my nails before I had to cut them all off! Been doing some good old D.I.Y for my dad stripping wallpaper, not to mention I had to do a massive clean on my flat as I have moved out. Literally was on all fours scrubbing skirting boards for hours! After all that hard graft my nails are now not in the best of states, although they do grow pretty fast so all is well.


Hard at work although the photo says otherwise!


Remember I mentioned the W7 glitter nail polish I wanted to get hold of? Well guess what? I've got some (polish on the left). Another polish by W7 caught my eye as I walked out the stall which is a beetle colour! I quickly tested the polishes on a few nails and my gosh I LOVE the blue glitter polish! The beetle polish on the other hand is a little disappointing and doesn't look as great on as it does in the bottle! However I only quickly tested them so I will do a proper post soon.

As I've been away for a couple of days I haven't had a chance to sit down and check out all my comments and new followers blogs, but I will defo get up to date tonight or tomorrow! Promiseeeeeeee.

That Versatile Thing Called Glitter

Lately I've been loving white nails! They are so plain, simple, and such a statement!



As promised here are the pictures of my 2 new glitter polishes layered over white and purple polish. Just a reminder here are the polishes:

(Left - Sassy Sparkle and Right - Jewel Tone)


L.A Colours - Sassy Sparkle layered over N.Y.C - Little Italy

Revlon - Plum Night



 L.A Colours - Jewel Tone layered over Revlon - Plum Night

Both colours are awesome! The purple nails look like nail foils and look 10 times better in real life. For 99p I will go as far as to say this is my best polish purchase to date!!!

Anyone been buying any nice glitter nail polishes lately? I've heard W7 have come out with a really cool range of glitter polishes similar to Nails Inc Sprinkles Collection. I am on the hunt to find them!

Messabout Nails


When I get bored I tend to randomly paint my nails making up nail designs as I go along. I usually take a picture to send to my friend to see what she thinks of the designs. I guess it's kind of random that I do that. Suppose it's the same as trying on outfits playing "dress up" before actually wearing the outfit out properly - Right?

By the way, does anyone know a cheapish nail polish brand that do a matte top coat?
