Here is the fourth bottle of my Japanese nail polish stash that my wonderful friend brought back for me! 
Canmake Nail Color Pink Glitter
How adorable is the little bottle!?! It holds 8ml of polish, this is shade number 34 and it’s called Pink Jelly!
Here is the English language version of the Canmake website.
Canmake Japanese Nail Polish Pink Glitter with flash
The formula for this polish is really nice, it has a huge amount of glitter that flowed from the brush really nicely. The glitter is a mixture of silver micro and circular silver holographic.
I applied two coats over base coat. The drying time was a bit longer than I would have liked, it was still a bit squishy after 15 minutes and the finish was a little bit grainy when it was dry, but a good fastdry topcoat would fix that!
with Flash
The base colour looks so much darker with the flash… Luckily we had about 5 minutes of actual sunlight today!

This polish is definitely much prettier in ‘real’ light lol!

This is a really cute polish! I really love the glitter combination with the pink base colour 😀

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

I’m not really going to do science, just some science inspired nails 😀
The plate I used today is from Messy Mansion, its plate MM25 and you can find it right here. 😀
Science Nails!
I started by painting my thumb and ring finger with two coats of Revlon Black Magic
On my other fingers I added a coat of French White from Nina Pro with two coats of Barry M Acid Yellow over the top, I used the coat of white polish to make the yellow really glow!
When that was all dry I topped it off with a coat of Barielle Shades Stardust for some sparkles and then and then a thin layer of topcoat.
Science!
For the stamping I used Barielle Shades night moves for the silver and Konad Special Stamping Polish in Black for the images over the yellow.
Then a coat of color club topcoat to seal in the design, there was a tiny bit of streaking form the konad polish 
I didn’t really like this when I had finished it I think it was because of the colour and that I ended up using a lot of polish it felt very thick
But now that I’m looking at the photographs I really like it! 🙂

This is the second polish I have to show you from the amazing collection of nail varnishes brought back from Japan for me by a rather lovely friend of mine!
Berry Color Nail
This brand is called Berry Color Nail, unfortunately I have no idea what shade this is, my Japanese really isn’t that good lol. But if you know what if is please let me know! 😀
Again this is a colour that I wouldn’t have chosen myself, as I’m not really drawn to pale colours. But after applying it I think this is really rather pretty!
Tiny Bottle
This is pale blue/green with gold, silver and iridescent micro glitters, it applied really easily, which is amazing considering the amount of glitter they managed to cram in!
It did take a bit longer to dry than I’m used to, but I think some fast dry top coat would sort that out!
BCN
It only took two coats to be opaque! When it dried the polish was really smooth and glossy, there was no grittiness as with some heavy glitter polishes.
I really think that I need more glittery nail polishes like this! 😀

Here are my stripey nails for the Golden Oldie Thursday Challenge 🙂 After all the pink flowers from my last post I needed something simple and not too complicated!
GOT polish Stripes
I started off with a thin coat of silver polish from Eyeko just on the top half of my nail, when it was dry I used some striping tape to mask off where I wanted the stripes to be, then I applied a thick coat of the vamp polish and removed the tape before it dried!
It’s so easy! the only fiddly bit was lining up the tape! I really should use my striping tape more! 😀
Eyeko polish
Look at how old those bottles are! 😀 The silver one was the first metallic/chrome polish I ever brought I think it was from Superdrug! The vamp polish joined my collection a couple of years later, it’s a blue black, and there’s nothing nasty about it!

It’s my birthday today! Yay! 😀
As I didn’t (as ever) get a pet dragon as a birthday gift, (it’s not like I don’t keep asking,)
I shall have dragon inspired nails instead! 😀
My Birthday Dragon Nails!
I started with two coats of Black Magic from Revlon. I used Cosmic Dust From China Glaze for the stamping. I keep saying to myself that I really should get the rest of the polishes from the China Glaze Holographic collection, but for some reason I keep forgetting they are so wonderful for stamping!
The images are from the Scaly Things MM21 plate by Messy Mansion, and I finished it with a coat of Seche Vite.
Dragon Nails!
I like these dragon nails! I really want to do this but with a green glitter polish as the base colour 😀
Because it’s my birthday I’m going to go have cake for breakfast! 😀
