Cracken

These were my 'Interveiw' nails, for an interveiw at Staffordshire university, to study games design btw,  i used ELF 'Golden Goddess' and Barry M 'Silver Cascade'

It was a pain in the arse to remove, but I got good coverage in 2 coats with Barry M, Sadly ELF  is more sheer so was like 4 coats, I might try it over a gold polish instead.

For this weeks nails, I've gone with ELF Purple dream and Barry M Nail effects, Not too sure about Nail effects, I find it quite hit and miss, I was planning to do an accent finger  but I liked how it came out on my ring finger so did the whole hand.

I might be away for a bit soon, I have my Final major project to focus on deadlines a comin'

I wanna see your peacock

Had a bash at peacock nails







I used Models Own black magic and Ebay nail art pens, Apologies for the mess I was a bit sloppy with the black lol
Been on tumblr for nail inspiration, gotta try sponging and get a hold of some OPI and China Glaze from Sallys ;D

Panda-monium






Just a quick and kinda late one, Pandas! It was a toss up between pandas and owls last night and I decided pandas to make a change :P
Created with ELF mint cream, unknown white and black ebay pen :) 
really simple but i still managed to forget that pandas have black ears not white, and had to go over it lol

The cake is a lie











L-R Nail art pens from Ebay, Barry M grey, 129 & GOSH Nero
These are my portal inspired nails, 
for those of you who don't know what Portal is, it's a puzzle game where you use a portal gun to find ways out of the facility. 
It's super fun, and the sequel is out April 18th
Heres the ending song :P

Collection

So here's a random post showing my growing collection;





This was all contained in a Celebrations tub, but i couldnt get the lid on anymore haha
So now it's all in a giant Topshop shoebox I've got about 58 or so now
(The polishes with the stars on are anicent Claires accessories ones) 







This is my mainicure kit I got for christmas, I'm pretty sure it's from boots, I love how cute it is and, OWLS :D

So you can also add the 24 nail art pens I bought like yesterday, not had any problems with brushes in the bottle or anything thus far, and was a speedy speedy delivery :) Some do have that weird colour fade but it doesn't seem to affect the actual colour so *shrug*

Elfin



                                       L-R; Barry M Racing green, Revlon Emerald City(Matte), Models own Evergreen, Barry M Neon green and Barry M Spring green. 

So thats a lot of green, strange how I'm not that huge a fan of green yet its the only colour i have enough shades of to do a graident thing like this.





It's taken a while but I've got the Barry M crackle polish. Tbh, I'm not a huge fan of crackle, shatter whatevs, so when I heard about the MO crackle polishes coming out it was like meh..
It is an amazing thing to watch though, thr crackle cracking, and so so sooooo simple.
















My new polishes from ELF
L-R Purple dream, Mint cream, Fire coral, dark navy and golden goddess, 
The top photos are regular finish, the bottom are with the matte finisher, apologies for the mess  I was in a rush.

Some Origins Of Fire

So I totally forgot about posting last week X[ so here's two to make up for it!





So as everyone's doing leopard I sometimes like to indulge myself with some zebra/tiger stripes :)
This is one coat of Stargazer 106 and one coat of Ciaté in Dangerous Affair and eyeliner stripes.
I think the Stargazer gave this a really nice kinda pearly sheen rather than being like, pinky red and flat.





George (Asda) Princess pink and Barry M 298, on the tips. I quite like gold tips also I've been wearing this around a week now with No topcoat and only just starting to chip, so it's pretty hard wearing :)
