I couldn’t wait to do some nail art over the Real Color Nail polish from my last post you can find that Here. The colour is so perfect for a Valentine’s Day Mani!
Valentines Day Nail Art
I started by making the gradient on my Thumb, Ring and Middle fingers, for that I used Revlon Black Magic. For my Index finger and Pinky I stamped using Messy Mansion Plate MM16 William Morris and friends, you can find that Here.
I also used an image from this plate for my Ring finger, I used Color Club Antiquated for that, it looks more silver than gold in the photos 
Valentines Day Nail Art
For my Thumb and Middle finger I used Moyou Pro Plate 07 XL
As a valentines day Mani goes I think that this one is really rather dark and vampy! 😀
But I’m not really a pastels kind of girl! 🙂

This is the Third bottle of my Japanese nail polish stash that my wonderful friend brought back for me! 😀
This polish brand is called Real Color Nail and it’s an amazingly glossy pinky red creme!
Real Nail Color
This is two coats over base coat, I think that this has to be one of the most shiny polishes I have used! You can even see the reflections of the buildings opposite oO

My camera decided that it was going to show more of the blue tones in this polish. It is quite a bit darker in real life!
The application of this polish was wonderful! The standard round brush has very fine and quite long bristles which is perfect for the formula. But I did find the the drying time was a little on the slow side.
The bottle holds 9ml and seems huge compared to the other tiny Japanese Nail Polish bottles!

I really like this polish, I think it;s going to make a wonderful base colour for all sorts of nail art! 😀

Art Deco Taped Nails
I used a lot of sticky stuff for this look! Ring reinforcements, french tip guides and striping tape! In hindsight I really should have completed one nail at a time, I ended up covered in bits of striping tape, I even found some in my hair!
The base colour is Strap On Your Moon Boots from China Glaze, and I used Black Magic from Revlon for the detail.
I used topcoat to stick on the studs! and another coat to finish it of, The color Club topcoat did dull the Holo effect of the polish a little, But other than that I really love how this turned out!

I have wanted to do some sugar skull nails for ages! And I have finally got the chance to do them 😀
Sugar Skulls
I started with two coats of Poke from Illamasqua. Poke has to be one of my favorite purple varnishes! It’s so vibrant 😀 for the skulls I made decals using this technique here! I used Ivory Skull from Sally Hansen and Hot Like Lava from Color Club along with Konad special polish in black for the stamping!
I used plate BM-413 from the Bundle Monster CYO set. I found that the large skull image was fine for my thumb nail but it was a little bit wide for my ring finger. it took a bit of repositioning the decal before it looked right.
on my other fingers I used one coat of Black Magic from Revlon topped with Chit Chat Pink Glitter!
Sugar Skull nails
I am definitely going to be doing something like this around Halloween! 😀

I have some subtle grey and silver nails today, they actually turned out to be a lot more subtle than I was expecting!
I started out with three coats of Pelican Grey from China Glaze, It’s a lovely pale grey with a slight silver shimmer, then I used Cosmic Dust which is also from China Glaze, to create the gradient and stamp the accent nail.
My camera was actually behaving today! so here is a bonus close up of the stamping 🙂
The plate I used is from Messy Mansion MM16 it is available here.
I finished it off with a coat of Seche Vite.
I’m so not used to not having bright colours and black on my nails that my hands don’t look like my own oO I’m not sure that I like it lol

Here’s week three of the GOT polish Challenge! Today the theme is Blue!
I have a lot of blue polishes so today I’m going to show you my favorite blue polish ever! This shade is called Bleu Cosmos from Bourjois and it was sadly discontinued a long time ago!
Bourjois Bleu Cosmos
It’s a lovely dark rich blue, almost black, jelly with huge amounts of blue, silver, purple and green iridescent glitter.
Bleu Cosmos Bottle
When was the last time you saw one of these bottles in a shop? Lol
This is three this coats over base coat, as I remember this polish tends to stain a bit. Even with no topcoat it’s still really glossy.
Unfortunately It had gone all thick and gooey so I had to thin it a bit before using it. but I have to say with how old it is, and how much I used it in the past, I’m surprised it wasn’t solid! 🙂
Look at the sparkles!
It’s so sparkly! I don’t think I’m ever going to find another bottle of this polish but I will keep looking! 😀
Have a look at the Pinterest Board with more amazing GOT Polish nails! 🙂
