I’m really enjoying trying out new (to me) nail art techniques, I realized that by only doing nail stamping I was missing out on loads of other fun nail art stuff! So here is another first for me, Waterfall nails!
Silver Waterfall Nails
I used, Deborah Lippmann – Modern Love, Deborah Lippmann – Hit Me With Your Best shot, Sinfulcolors – Time Off, Illamasqua – Snap, Nails Inc – Old Bond Street, Barielle Shades – Night Moves and China glaze – Cosmic Dust.
I started with a base colour of Modern Love from Deborah Lippmann, starting with the darkest colour using a fine brush, I painted on the stripes, making sure that each colour has stripes of different lengths.
It took quite a while to finish but I really love how this turned out! and I’m going to be trying this again with different colours! 😀

Here is another first for me! Galaxy Nails! 😀
Galaxy Nails
I used loads of nail polishes for this, I started with a base of Vamp Polish From Eyeko, then using a tiny bit of sponge I added a little bit of Blackened Bleu from Barielle shades and Alias from color club. Blackened Bleu is a lovely black jelly with dark blue and turquoise glitter, Alias is a dark blue jelly with purple duo-chrome glitter, it’s really pretty!
At this point it looked like a patchy gradient, after it had dried I added Gorgeous from sinfulcolors this polish is a bright turquoise metallic with a light gold sheen and secret agent from color club which is a light purple metallic polish. I put a drop of each polish next to each other onto an old plate and picked up both colours with my trusty bit of makeup sponge, and added a tiny bit to each nail.
when it was all dry I used Night Moves from Barielle shades for the stars, and the fine holo glitter is Sparkling silver from no.7
I finished it with a coat of fast dry topcoat from color club.

Chit Chat Glitter Polishes
While I was wandering about in town yesterday, I came across these for the bargain price if £1 each! 😀
I used a base of black on black by sinfulcolors so that the glitters show up really clearly 🙂 followed by two coats of the glitter polish
Chit Chat Pink Glitter
This pink glitter polish is really pretty, I found this polish a bit tricky to apply, the formula is a little bit thin, but the amount of glitter makes up for that!
Chit Chat Silver Glitter
I really don’t know what it is about my camera that makes it hate silver glitter so much… So sorry about the rubbish picture, it was the best one I could get!
There isn’t as much glitter in the formula for this polish as there was in the pink glitter, and it did take a bit of digging about in the bottle to get a good amount of glitter onto the brush. But it is easy to apply, and it definitely has the disco ball look! 🙂
Chit Chat Ariel Blue Holographic Polish
This is a really pretty polish! I really like it over the black.
Chit Chat Violet Glitter
out of all four polishes, this one has the most glitter, It is a really pretty blue toned purple, I think this one will be perfect for a glitter gradient over a lighter coloured polish!
Chit Chat Glitter Polish
I have found that some glitter polishes tend to dry slightly textured or a bit lumpy and need a lot of top coat! but all of these polishes dry very smooth. The drying time for the formula is a bit on the slow side, but for the price I paid for these polishes they are amazing value! 😀

For this I used three coats of Glitter Goblin from china glaze for the base colour. It is a lovely copper and silver holographic glitter polish, Glitter Goblin is from the 2012 Wicked Halloween collection, it’s not a new polish but I really like it 🙂 The stamp image is from Moyou XL Suki Collection 06. For the stamping I used Konad Special polish in Black, then finished it with a coat of Seche Vite.
Glittery! 🙂
I think that the stamp would look better over a creme/metallic polish, it’s really quite detailed and it unfortunately seems to get lost in all the glitter! 😦 I think next time I’ll use a less detailed image, maybe thick tiger stripes! 😀

Holographic Glitter Fish!
For this manicure I decided to use an image from a Messy Mansion stamping plate that I don’t usually use! I really love this plate, it is one of my favorite plates from my collection 🙂
I started off with one coat of Style Slave fast finish polish from 17, followed by two coats of Starchild from Barielle Shades then a coat of Seche Vite to seal in the glitter. I used Konad special stamping polish for the image (and scorn from Illamasqua to cover the bits that I messed up) followed by yet another coat of Seche Vite.
I really like how this turned out the fish are so much more glittery than I can show in the pictures 🙂

Barielle Shades. Blackened Bleu, Starchild, Coalest Day Of The Year, Night Moves and Out-Grey-Geous
Here are some Barielle Shades swatches.
Coalest Day Of The Year Swatch
Dark grey shimmer with silver micro glitter. Applying this polish was lovely, I would describe the colour as a rich gun-metal. It has a good amount of pigment and enough shimmer as to not be overpowering but stopping it from looking flat. This is two coats and the drying time was really quick!
Blackened Bleu Swatch
Blackened Bleu.
Dark grey jelly polish with fine dark blue glitter formula quite thin but with a high glitter content, there was some streaking but that was mostly covered with the final coat. I applied three rather thick coats this polish luckily dries quickly!
Out-Grey-Geous
Out-Grey-Geous Swatch
Grey frost with gold micro glitter. As with most frost finishes the formula for this one is quite thin, It took 3 coats. But is easy to apply, the gold shimmer and micro glitter adds depth and warmth to the polish.
Night Moves Swatch
Barielle Night Moves
This is a fantastic bright silver foil the formula was extremely easy to apply, very good coverage, no streaking or dragging at all, very glossy finish! I think this polish will be added to my favorites! 🙂
Starchild Swatch
Starchild is a clear base with different sized hex holographic glitter. This is one rather thick coat over the top of Coalest Day of the year. It took a little bit of dabbing to get the glitters evenly spaced out, but I didn’t have to go digging
about or chasing the glitters around in the bottle 🙂
