Black and White skittle
My Black and White nails, I couldn’t resist another skittle for this! 😀
The Polishes I used are,
- China Glaze White on White
- Elegant Touch French Manicure White
- Sally Hansen Pure Midnight
- Filthy Gorgeous Twilight
- L’Oreal Confettis
- Konad SP Black
My first step was to paint all my nails with two coats of White on White.
For my thumb I used Twilight and White on White. Starting with a simple french tip, (I used a guide) I added the first dots with a medium dotting tool, then with a thin brush I filled in the gaps, then added the second dots with a small sized dotting tool.
For my index finger over the White on White I used Konad Black with Suki 06 XL plate from Moyou.

On my middle finger I used French Manicure White, Pure Midnight and Twilight for the sponged gradient, it took three layers before it was ‘gradienty’ enough then I added the Confettis, I found the brush for the glitter topcoat was rather scratchy, I don’t know if it was bits of glitter in the brush or the brush itself, it scraped some of my gradient 😦
For the water marble I used French Manicure White and Twilight. Both of these polishes worked really well, they even spread over the water at the same rate! 😀
Finally for my little finger I used some more Twilight and a medium dotting tool!
Then when it was dry I applied my topcoat and had a cup of tea!

Purple Waterfall Nails
Here are my violet/purple nails for day 6
For this waterfall mani I used
- China Glaze – Bizarre Blurple
- Illamasqua- Faux Pas
- Max Factor – Fantasy Fire
- Color Club – Secret Agent
- Sally Hansen – Ruby Sapphire
- Sinful Colors – Mauve
Purple Waterfall
I started with a base of two coats of Mauve from Sinful colors, then I added the other purple colored polishes with a thin nail art brush.
I really like waterfall nails, it really is such an easy (if a little time consuming) technique 🙂

Green Splatter Nails
Here a are my green nails for day 4! I really couldn’t decide on which polishes to use, So I ended up using nearly all of them (well the green ones)
I used
- Sinful Colors – Pistache
- Color Club – Artsy Crafty
- Barry M – Acid Yellow
- 2True Metallica – Arete
- Sinful Colors – Rise And Shine
- China Glaze – OMG a UFO
- Color Club – Perfect Mol-Ten
- Zoya – Logan
- Sally Hansen – Grass Slipper
I started with two coats of base coat (green stains my nails more than any other colour) then a coat of Pistache.
After that had dried, using a cotton bud (q tip) with the ends cut off I blew the green polishes onto my nails.
I alternated between light and dark shades to make sure there was a good mix of green!
All Of The Green!
This was really messy and took ages to clean up but it was a lot of fun! 😀

My red nails for Day 1
Red Butterflies
I started with a couple of coats of Ruby Stilletos from Sally Hansen. This is a really lovely polish, it’s a bright red with loads of red glitter! The butterflies are from Moyou stamping plate Pro Collection XL 05, using Rouge Noir from Chanel. Then finished it off with a coat of Color Club Topcoat.
The Right way round!
This is the first time I have tried a red on red stamp and I really like the result 🙂
Hmmm what to do for tomorrow’s nails?….

Braided Rose Nail Art
I decided that I wanted some pretty spring time nails! And here they are! 😀
I started by making the rose decals, for these I used
- Sally Hansen – Grass Slipper
- China Glaze – Near Dark
- Rimmel – Double Decker Red
- Sinful Colors – A Slice To Go (striper)
- China Glaze – White On White
- Color Club – Top Coat
Braided Rose Nail Art
I applied a coat of white on white over my base coat, for two reasons the first so that the greens would pop and the second being that green stains my nails more than any other colour!
For the braid I used
- Zoya – Logan
- China Glaze – Agro
- L’oreal – Owl’s Night
- China Glaze – White On White
After I finished my braided nails I ended up having to do some washing up (ugh) and the tips of my nails ended up with a few little chips 😦 Booo!
I applied my rose decals with a little bit of color club top coat, then sealed them in with another coat over the top.

I think the greens I chose where a little too dark but it still looks pretty 🙂

Fantasy Fire Roses
This is my 100th post 😀 Yay!
So today I have a Polish to show you that I keep meaning to get my grubby paws on and haven’t, until yesterday! That polish is Fantasy Fire from Max Factor!
It really is a stunning polish! it’s a mid shade purple gelly with loads of Duo-chrome micro glitter.
Moyou Pro 07
Annoyingly I was having a really hard time with the stamping 
it just didn’t want to work, this was my third attempt lol
Anyway, I used:
- Fantasy Fire – Max Factor
- Good to Grape – Sally Hansen
- Black – Konad Special Polish
- Color Club Topcoat
I started with two coats of Good to Grape, It’s a really nice light purple but it takes ages to dry when it was eventually dry I added two thin coats of fantasy fire. For the roses I used Moyou Pro plate 07 XL
Fantasy Fire! So Sparkly!
