Pink pyramids

I had seen a design similar to this and have been wanting to try it out forever. However, I now can't find the blogger that I recreated - if anyone recognises the design let me now who's it is! 

Using: OPI - natural base, Sally Hansen - White on, Jessica - pink explosion and Kiko - top coat. 

I love this design but hate my clean up on this! 

I did not get great pictures of it, such a bummer when that happens. The camera doesn't capture how neon these really are. 

I am in love with neons at the moment so was loving the bold nails. 

Definitely going to do another neon design this week.

Getting those last summer nails in! 

Happy weekend blogging world.

Ombre day

I still power through my inability to do ombre like all the nail guru's. 
I used: Essie - Fifth Avenue, Sally Hansen - Man-go Team, Sally Hansen top coat and striping tape. 

Not really sure where this mani came from. I was guna do a girly pink ombre but I've already done that so wanted to try something a little different. And then the tape just happened after a few hours of getting bored of just the plain ombre.
I didn't realise the colour missing on my thumb until I was editing :( 

I quite like these colours and I do always love the effect of the ombre, so I will keep soldiering on until perfect. 
Water marble practice this week!


My cat is making this photobombing thing regular.

More gradient practice

First things first... I FORGOT TO TAKE A MANI PIC! Can't believe I completely forgot :( 

Soooo... as you know I suck at gradients, just can't get it right but I soldier on. I've attempted a pink one this time. Using: my fave Essie - Fiji and Sally Hansen - Back To The Fuchsia.

I quite like this many from far away (or without my glasses on) but close up it isn't so fab!

Took this quick webcam picture with my tea during essay time. 

Anyway, I will keep on practicing gradients (hopefully soon to make perfect)

Gradient practice

So, firstly my nail posting has been pretty shabby recently - got a lot going on!

Second, these are not the best gradients ever.

Thirdly, that's why I'm practicing!

Couldn't get these to look great in the pictures which is why the picture is a bit weird with flowers in the background, but hey, love a bit of flowers. 

I absolutely LOVE gradient/ombre nails. Every picture I see on Instagram of them I can't help but like. I have done so many ombre nails and never been really chuffed with them. So I'm just going to keep trying until I get it perfect.

For these nails I used:

17 Lasting Fix Nail Polish - Parma Violet

(which I got for 50p, such a bargain!)

Sally Hansen - 640 Plum Luck

I think the sally hansen may have been a bit too dark for this gradient to work, I couldn't find my other dark purple.

How does everyone get their gradients so perfect?! 

Acrylic or nail polish?

I'm also upset because I left my acrylic paints at home so will have to get them sent here or something - upsetting times.

Thanks for reading. More soon, promise.
