Pink Leopard Print Mani

So today I've done a very over the top mani, it did start out as just plain old pink manicure and then got much more over the top! Th base coat is Nails Inc South Molton Street, then there is Nails Inc Floral Street on the top, with Bundlemonster plate BM-221 leopard print. I then used a dotting tool and Rimmel in Urban Princess to fill in some of the leopard prints, and then put Nails Inc Chelsea Square over the top because I thought it looked a lot brighter! I then put rhinestones on my ring finger and thumb, and finished it all off with Insta-Dri!

I hope you like it as much as I do, it is very girly but I really like it! Cat xox

NOTD blue daisys

My dotting tools finally came! =) No sign just yet of my little nail beans, but they're estimated between now and the 10th so hopefully they'll be early! Here are my dotting tools;

Sorry it's not a very good picture, but I was away all weekend and so didn't manage to take decent pictures. I think they cost about £3.50 including delivery from Ebay. So not too bad, and it's much better than using the end of a paintbrush! I decided to do something different than just dots, but I only had two shades of blue and a topcoat with me over the weekend, and my wheel of rhinestones. This is what I came up with...

I used Barry M in Blueberry Ice Cream which is a gorgeous colour, and Nails Inc polish from the Diet Coke promotion in Delicious Denim. Then I put yellowy/orangey rhinestones in the middles of the daisies and sealed it all with Insta-Dry. I actually really liked the design, I only intended to do one or two flowers but then I liked it so much I ended up doing daisies on all of them.

Pink Birthday Nails and Toes!

So I decided I wanted something a little more interesting for my birthday. I tried out loads of things, too many to tell you about and eventually settled on pink, but not just pink, that would have been far too dull. They didn't take too long, and once I'd got started it didn't seem to take long at all. So here's the finished design, plus toes obviously because I thought they should match. The colours of the nails are about right but my skin is not that orange! (It's a little bit orange I admit haha)

This is after a day or so wear, I had a lot of clean-up to do after I'd finished doing all the dots, as you can see here;

I've used Barry M Matt White for the dots and the end of a tiny paintbrush for the dots (still waiting on my dotting tools), Models Own in Sophie's Pink, for my index finger and the nails with dots, Rimmel Professional Finish in Urban Princess for my middle finger, Max Factor Disco Pink for my thumb nail. I also used small and large rhinestones, and tiny half pearls. I then used Sally Hansen Insta-Dri over all my nails to smooth it out and to dry it quickly. So that was my birthday manicure! Until next time, Cat xox
