Watercolour

Hey guys,

Just a quickie post to keep things rolling while I study for my repeats ( stupid me I know :( ). Anyways here's a watercolour mani I did awhile a ago just to try out the technique. I really enjoyed this as it was simple and quite easy to do, it also didn't take all that long to do, happy out.

The polishes I used were all Barry ms as far as I can remember, lime, yellow and shocking pink I think.

The mani was very summery and bright which I loved, nothing better than a mani that makes you look at it every time you notice your hand :P. But next time I think I'll try some pastels just to see if I can get an airy fairy type of manicure.

Have ye tried this technique before? What colours did you use?

Supermassivecolectivespendyallmymoney Haul Part 2

Hey guys,

I have the rest of my huge haul which features products from both Salon services and Harlow & Co . Thankfully my amazing cousin has a salon services card that I could use because the polishes are such good value there,like I mean €5.00 for a bottle of OPI! I know madness considering they are around €13.00 in some pharmacies. 

First up is my Harlow & Co order in which I finally finally got the Lime Crime polishes and my first Cirque polishes. You actually have no idea how long I have waited for the Lime Crime to come back in stock, its just ridic. Anyway they are here and every bit as juicy as I expected these pastel neons to be. The colours would just not come out as amazing as they are in real life especially pastelchio it is much more neon then in the pictures.

The cute boxes the Lime Crime came in.

The total stash from Harlow&Co.

Now for Salon services, this is a big one. Okay so I bought a hair mask well because my hair is bleached and I'm trying to grow it out as its all sorts of nasty dry flakiness, lovely. I also got a huge bottle of seche vite (118ml) and seche restore as I love the stuff even the smell ugh the smell yep anyway I also got the original OPI nail envy which also came with the matt version free. I'm  hoping this will help with my nails breaking all  the time because of work, fingers crossed.Along with all that I purchased the OPI cuticle oil for the same reason.

Vintage flowers

Hey guys,

This post isn't what I initially wanted to share with you but I had problems with the camera and then the computer (typical) so this is what I have. Yep, so basically its a vintage flower design inspired by a tutorial from Chelsea King's blog Get Nailed . She is fab! Seriously check her out, stunning nails and designs.

Now I can't for the life of me remember all the colours I used but if you have any questions feel free to ask. Also apologises for the crappy photos and horrific cuticles I don't know what's going on here.

Hopefully I will have more recent swatches to show you and some hauls too from the likes of Beauty Emporium and I love nail polish (what an apt name eh!). So that's all exciting,well for me anyway!
