I have shiny purple nails to show you today! As well as my first attempt at individual glitter placement! 😀
The purple creme polish is from a brand called Filthy Gorgeous, the shade is called Pulp!
Black Holographic Glitter is so shiny!
Pulp is a really nice dark plum, I found the formula to be a quite thin and sheer, but the coverage was ok after three coats. It’s very glossy and dried reasonably quickly but it could probably have done with a fourth coat.

The bottle is really cute! (sorry about the terrible picture)
shiny shiny shiny!
For my accent nail I used two thick coats of Black Magic from Revlon, while it was still wet I used a damp toothpick to place individual bits of the black holographic glitter onto the wet polish. It really didn’t take as long as I thought it would, it was only about 5 minutes! I think that if I had done all of my nails like this it would have taken ages, especially on my right hand lol!
After the polish was dry I applied a coat of Seche Vite, then I carefully filed away the scratchy bits of glitter that where poking over the edge of my nail and added some more topcoat to seal the filled edge!

A quick reminder of the rules :
- The polish you use should be at least one year old.
- If you haven’t been a polishaholic that long, you can use the oldest polishes you have.
- The polish should be previously used, but if you’re stuck, you could free a yearling from Mount Untried.
- You can use more than 1 polish as long as it fits the theme and the rules
I have to say green is not my favorite polish colour and I only own a couple of bottles of green, but luckily I do have this rather old one! The shade is called Froggy and it was made by a brand called Lizzy French. I think I have had this polish for about 12 years!
Green Dragon Scales
The polish is an almost metallic pearl/shimmer with silver, gold and green glitter, As it was so old I ended up having to thin it down quite a lot 
which made the application a nightmare!
Lizzy French – Froggy
I applied three coats of Froggy over base coat. With the first coat of polish the streaking was dreadful, along with the visible brush strokes, the second coat dissolved the polish underneath, there was crinkling/bunching up and bald spots as well! Ugh the horror! For the final coat I applied the polish in a really thick layer, really quickly, I’m glad it worked because I was ready to give up on the whole thing.
For the stamping I used Konad special polish And Messy Mansion Plate MM21.

Here’s my Blue Leopard French Tip nails I painted a couple of days ago!
Blue Leopard
I used Revlon Black Magic as the base colour, then using my trusty french tip guides I stamped the leopard print on tips of my nails, I find that this is much easier than trying to get french tip shaped stamps lined up!
The blue polish I used is Cold Metal from Color Club. It’s amazing for stamping! 😀 then I added the sparkly rhinestones to my ring finger I used tweezers to position them in a dab of wet topcoat.
I finished off my nails with a coat of Seche Vite!

Here is my dotty nails for the Crumpets GOT Polish Challenge!
Purple Dots
I started with two coats of Scorn from Illamasqua, then I used Secret Agent from Color Club for the stamp, This is the first time I have used my new Lilly Anna Plate and it’s lovely, the images are really sharp 🙂 you can find the plate Here.
I then used a medium sized dotting tool to add more dots over the stamp using more Illamasqua Scorn, and then using a tiny doting tool to add the final purple dots with more of the Secret Agent!
I finished it with a coat of Seche Vite.

I couldn’t wait to do some nail art over the Real Color Nail polish from my last post you can find that Here. The colour is so perfect for a Valentine’s Day Mani!
Valentines Day Nail Art
I started by making the gradient on my Thumb, Ring and Middle fingers, for that I used Revlon Black Magic. For my Index finger and Pinky I stamped using Messy Mansion Plate MM16 William Morris and friends, you can find that Here.
I also used an image from this plate for my Ring finger, I used Color Club Antiquated for that, it looks more silver than gold in the photos
Valentines Day Nail Art
For my Thumb and Middle finger I used Moyou Pro Plate 07 XLÂ
As a valentines day Mani goes I think that this one is really rather dark and vampy! 😀
But I’m not really a pastels kind of girl! 🙂

This is the Third bottle of my Japanese nail polish stash that my wonderful friend brought back for me! 😀
This polish brand is called Real Color Nail and it’s an amazingly glossy pinky red creme!
Real Nail Color
This is two coats over base coat, I think that this has to be one of the most shiny polishes I have used! You can even see the reflections of the buildings opposite oO
Real Nail Color Bottle
My camera decided that it was going to show more of the blue tones in this polish. It is quite a bit darker in real life!
The application of this polish was wonderful! The standard round brush has very fine and quite long bristles which is perfect for the formula. But I did find the the drying time was a little on the slow side.
The bottle holds 9ml and seems huge compared to the other tiny Japanese Nail Polish bottles!
Real Nail Color Bottle
I really like this polish, I think it;s going to make a wonderful base colour for all sorts of nail art! 😀
