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)

love, love, love

My second valentines mani - definitely a different one. And much harder than I anticipated - I did most nails twice! And whilst watching Harry potter which was very tense. 

I used Essie - Fiji (one of my absolute faves!)

A random black with no name. I got it from Barcelona 

And Essie - Fifth Avenue (again) 

I like this one because it's not a typical girly valentines mani. I also couldn't resist putting the base coat picture up - it is soo nice. 

More tomorrow - if I get enough work done in time!

Pastel and studs

Jessica has the nicest nail colours! This gorgeous one is 'Jemma Kidd'. However, the problem with this colour is that it takes a life time to dry with two coats. One coat isn't enough. If you have the patience the turn out is great - especially on toe nails! I got these studs from ebay (hundeds of them) for a pound or so. And I got a small pot of nail glue from boots which isn't too strong so works good and comes off nail polish remover.

Jessica polishes are a treat though - not cheap in my opinion.
