Leafy Tree Stamping With Nails Inc Clifford Street

By Ruth

Hey! 🙂

While I was hunting around in my nail polish collection it occurred to me that I hadn’t worn any of my Nails Inc polishes in ages.

So here is Clifford Street! The image I used is from the Moyou Mother Nature 14 plate.

The trees are getting very bare I wanted something leafy, especially the tree outside my kitchen window, as it lost all of it’s leaves over night!

This macro is definitely the truest colour, my camera (phone) picked up a lot of the purple in this polish.

I had forgotten how pretty Clifford Street is, greyed out purple with iridescent gold glitter and a slight purple shimmer, it really is a perfect autumn shade!

With the macro shot you really can see how bad my stamping was this morning lol.

This mani only took around 15 minutes including drying time!

I think the tiny birds are really cute! 😀

Neko Atsume Inspired Cat Nails!

By Ruth

Hello! 😀

Today’s nails are inspired by probably the cutest phone game ever! Neko Atsume

All you do in this game is you use silver and gold Niboshi (dried fish) to buy food, toys and furniture to attract cats to your garden, you can take pictures of the cats to add to your cat book!

Then when the cats leave your garden they give you more Niboshi, then you can buy more stuff and get more cats. 😀

There is even The Neko Atsume Europe Facebook group!

I used a lot of different polishes for this

Illamasqua – Blow
Seche – Nouveau
Sinful Colors – Snow Me White
Illamasqua – DWS
Barry M – Peach Melba
Color Club – Nomadic In Nude
Illamasqua – Harem
Rimmel London – Ultra Violet
Barry M – Blueberry I/C
Illamasqua – Nomad
Seche Vite Topcoat
Illamasqua Matte Topcoat
Fine Tip Permanent ink pen

I ended up making decals for the cats as painting them directly onto my nails really wasn’t working out.

I really do like these little kitties! 😀

Brown Pin Marble

By Ruth

Hey! 🙂

Here is another brown autumn nail art look, this is really quick and surprisingly easy to do! Rather than me explaining (badly) there are loads of really good tutorials on pin marbling over on youtube!

Some slightly annoying news, my camera has decided that taking photographs is something it no longer wants to do (Gaaaah!) So for the foreseeable future I’m going to have to use my phone camera…

Oh yeah, I have decided to sort out my Instagram account! I’ve actually had one for years, I just haven’t really used it, so do go check it out! 😀

Back to the nails lol I used two polishes for this look Hot For Chocolate from Revlon and Diablos from above the curve.

Hot for chocolate is the brown cream, it’s easy to apply and is almost opaque in one coat. Diablos is a brown/red holographic polish, and for a brown polish I think it’s actually rather pretty!

I hope that one day a brown polish will come along that I really like, but until then brown nail polish is just not for me!

Nude and White Matte Gradient

By Ruth

Hey Everyone! 😀

After all the Halloween craziness I realized that my brain and my nails needed a bit of a rest, so for the past few days I have been wearing this very neutral gradient!
