Halloo!
In the interests of full disclosure, I received the leadlight lacquer Stamping plate free of charge, but not for review. The wonderful people over at Messy Mansion sent me a couple extra plates when my last order went missing. How lovely is that!? 🙂
This mani is one of the ones I created before disappearing for a while, I liked this one far too much not to share it with you.
I really love the look and how easy edge gradients are, the only down side is that they are really messy, a lot more so than a standard across the nail gradient!
I do find that a tiny bit of petroleum jelly/Vaseline rubbed around the cuticle area helps with clean up a huge amount, when the polish is dry it can be wiped away with a tissue, or a gentle scrub with a nail brush.
The products I used are
- Leadlight Lacquer A01
- Illamasqua – Scorn
- Illamasqua – DWS
- Hit The Bottle – Black
- Seche Vite
- Maybelline – Sugar Crystals
🙂

Hey everyone!
It’s been a while ( and by a while I really mean months… Ooops) since my last post.
I really needed a break from everything! I have had a lot of stuff going on that in all honesty has been simultaneously boring and stressful! But I’m not going bore you all with the details!
Instead I have some Glow in the Dark Fire nails to share 😀
I really think these would be great for Halloween!

The stuff I used
- Stamping Plate MM27
- Seche Vite
- Hit The Bottle Stamping Polish – Black
- Glow In The Dark Polish Orange and Yellow
- Models Own – Zest a Peel
- Sally Hansen – Lite
I used the Models Own and Sally Hansen Polishes to create a gradient, I think using some white undies would have saved me a lot of layers!
Then I added the glow in the dark polish the ones I used are just cheap Pound shop unbranded ones but they do glow reasonably well, I think using some better quality glowing polish would improve this a lot.
Then when It was dry (this took ages) I used MM27 and Hit The Bottle Stamping Polish to add the flames!
Then a coat of Seche Vite and a bit of a clean up to finish it off.
Even if it is orange and yellow this mani makes me really happy! 😀

Hello! 🙂
In Your Dreams
Because it’s a lovely sunny day I decided to use my Ruby Wing colour changing polishes for this gradient and leadlight nail art look!
Inside
Outside
The three Ruby Wing polishes I used are
- In Your Dreams
- Desert Valley
- Crowd Surf
The gradient is In Your Dreams (white/grey) and Crowd Surf (pink/purple)
Stamping Plate BP-17
I used Stamping Plate BP-17 from Born Pretty, along with Desert Valley for the leadlighting. I’m so glad I have finally used this polish! I really wish I had read some reviews about the stuff before purchasing it, to say it’s not a nice polish would be a huge understatement! But a little bit of it works well for this 🙂
Desert Valley
I really like the way this looks outside!
side by side!

Hello! 😀
Grey Water Marble
Today I have these shiny silver studs from Born Pretty to show you!
Born Pretty Nail Art Studs
The studs are made from thin metal, they are really light and slightly flexible while keeping quite a domed profile.
I applied them by pressing them into wet topcoat. You could always use nail glue to apply them if you want them to be a bit more secure.
French Tip
The studs are available here Born Pretty Triangle Nail Stud and you can get 10% off with the code RPG10!

For my grey water marble I used
- Sinful Colors – Cool Grey
- Barry M – Grey
- China Glaze – Out Like a Light
I’m really pleased with how well these three shades work together! (does happy dance)
For the french tip the silver polish is I’d Melt For You from China Glaze, and I used french tip guides to keep them all even.

Hello!
Today I have another product kindly sent for me for review from Born Pretty!
Born Pretty BP-17
This stamping plate is called Elegant Flower BP-17 and it’s available here Born Pretty Elegant Flower
Born Pretty BP-17
The images on this plate are so pretty! 🙂
Born Pretty BP-17
The sparkly silver glitter polish I used as the base for this is Shooting Star from Rimmel London. it’s as lovely polish but It did need a couple of coats of Seche Vite for a smooth surface to stamp onto.
The stamping polish is Konad Special Polish In Black. I think my bottle is on it’s last legs, the image was really sharp and easy to pick up on the stamper but getting it onto my nail was another matter 
I only kept going because 1. I’m stubborn and 2. Removing glitter polish is a pain in the butt!
Born Pretty BP-17
I think I’m going to try this again but with a different stamping polish!

Hey Everyone!
Born Pretty Decal
Today I have some lovely water slide decals from Born Pretty to show you!
The Born Pretty name for these is “Mini Bow knot Cross Lacy Design Print Nail Art Water Decals” (quite a mouthful lol) and the item number is DS-107.
They are available right here Mini Cross Bow Decal
This is how I apply water slide decals
- Cut each decal out as close to the image as you can. Then remove the thin plastic cover
- Put the decal in some water for around 15/30 seconds. I try to float them on the surface with the image facing up
- Carefully remove it from the white backing, with tweezers or carefully rubbing them between my fingers.
- Place the decal on your nail. It helps if your nail is a little wet it makes it easier to reposition the decal if needed.
- Wait till it’s dry and add topcoat.
The polishes I used for this look are
- Barry M – Bright Pink
- Rimmel – Peppermint
- Rimmel – Ultra Violet
- Sinful Colors – Snow Me White
As well as loads of striping tape, french tip guides and a couple of coats of Seche Vite. 😀
Pink Purple And Teal
And don’t forget you can use the code RPG10 for 10% off 😀
