Hello 🙂
Matte Damask Nails
I received my order of a few stamping plates from Born Pretty a couple of days ago and I couldn’t wait to try them out!
My package arrived a lot faster than I was expecting, I ordered four stamping plates, some french tip guides and some random water decals.
The plate I used today is QA90 and you can find it here.
Pelican Gray, Diamond Lurex, matte top coat
I used Pelican Grey from China Glaze as the base colour, then added a coat of Diamond Lurex form L’oreal.
For the stamp I used Konad SP Black and my marshmallow stamper. I followed that with a coat of Seche Vite, and then a coat of E.L.F matte finisher.
I think I have lost any ability I had (if I had any at all lol) to get the images lined up and even across all my nails… I guess I just need more practice! 😀

I do love sparkly matte nails! 😀

Hi! 😀
Today’s prompt for the Got Polish Challenge is “Over a black base”
Chanel Black Satin with Sally Hansen Nail Prisms
So how could I not dig out some of my favorite polishes of all time!
Black satin from Chanel is with out a doubt one of the best black nail polishes ever! the formula is still glorious (I have had this bottle for around 3 years now)
The other polish, poor thing, it’s looking rather well loved, is Turquoise Opal from the Nail Prisms range by Sally Hansen. These where first released back in 2002! I have owned this bottle for at least 7 years!
Lovely, lovely striping tape
I used one thin coat of Black Satin, then a coat of Seche Vite, when it was dry I applied two strips of striping tape, and carefully added a thin coat of Turquoise Opal.
Then I removed the tape with tweezers and added another coat of Seche Vite.
Turquoise Opal From Sally Hansen
This mani is more topcoat than nail polish! 😀

Hi!
Today I have a Ruby Wing colour changing dotticure to show you!
Ruby Wing Crowd Surf
I picked this bright pink one up in my local Sally’s and the shade is called Crowd Surf.
I applied two coats of Crowd Surf over my usual base coat, the formula for this polish is lovely and it dries really quickly which is always a bonus!
For the dots I used a medium dotting tool with Barry M Black, Orly Velvet Rope and Poke from Illamasqua.
Outside!
I really thought that it was only going to change colour a little bit. I was really surprised that it actually changes to much! I really like the dark purple shade!

Hello! 🙂
GOT Polish Challenge Over a White Base
It seems like ages since I last posted nail art for the GOT Polish Challenge! But that’s probably because it has been ages 
For today’s prompt I chose a very simple stamped design, I used White on White from China Glaze… I think my bottle is now more polish thinner than actual polish… It’s probably time to retire it and get a new one!
I used Propaganda from Illamasqua to stamp the image, and the stamping plate is 07 from Moyou’s Suki collection.
Illamasqua Propaganda Over White on White China Glaze
Propaganda is getting to be a vhtf polish 😦 I have only found a couple of other dark blue jelly polishes with a similar colour intensity these are Blue-Topia from Color Club and L’orial Midnight Mistress.
Moyou Suki 07
I think this looks like Willow pattern from ceramic plates lol!

Hi! 🙂
Today I have a sparkly mani I created using striping tape to show you.
Striping Tape Nail Art
for this I used
- Rimmel Space Dust – Aurora
- Filthy Gorgeous – Twilight
- Striping Tape
- Seche Vite
I began with two coats of Aurora, this is a really pretty polish! It is a slightly textured nude with loads of silver glitter, I added a thick coat of Seche Vite to even out the the texture to help stop the black polish from bleeding under the tape.
I used seven strips of tape for each nail, apart from my pinky which only needed six. Starting with my thumb nail I applied the tape, then carefully dabbed on the black polish, then using tweezers removed the tape while the polish was still wet. Then I applied another coat of Seche Vite over the top and continued with my other nails.
Rimmel Aurora and Filthy Gorgeous Twilight
I never realized how much easier a decent quality striping tape is to use! There was no curling up, sticking to itself or refusing to stick to my nail! 😀

Hi 🙂
Just a quick post today! Some simple red and black nails created with the help of some striping tape!
Come to Bed Red from Butter London and Barry M Black
I started off with Come To Bed Red from Butter London, this is one from my untried pile! It’s a really lovely shade and was really easy to apply, but it unfortunately took four coats to be opaque so definitely not a polish to go for if you are in a hurry!
Then (when it was dry) I used striping tape to mark out the triangle shapes and filled them in with Barry M Black, I removed the tape while the polish was still wet so it didn’t remove the polish along with it.
For some reason I added some striping tape to my ring finger… It seemed like a good idea at the time, now I really don’t like it Unfortunately I realized after I had added the top coat!
my nails look so much longer!
This design really makes my nails look longer so I think I’ll try to ignore the offending bits of striping tape! 🙂
