Nude & Black Lacy Mani

Hi everyone,

Just thought I'd stop by and show you this mani! I took inspiration from the design of one of those Sally Hansen Minx like things that aren't in the UK. I used one of the full nail designs on bundle monster plate 20. I would also like to see this done with the image on the opposite corner of that plate too - like a lacy fan style pattern. Hopefully you will have the plate and know what I'm talking about!!

I used 2 coats of OPI Dulce de Leche as the base then used the MUA superdrug £1 black for the stamp. I was a very good girl and cleaned the stamp, scraper and plate with remover after I stamped each nail and this resulted in the stamp picking up the full image perfectly every time. I'm so glad I took the extra time to do that because I'm so pleased with the outcome. I hope you like it too
!

OPI Dulce De Leche

Good morning - it is so miserable here today :( Rain, rain go away!!!

The first picture is in the sunlight and the second is in shade.
This is 2 coats of Dulce de Leche with top and base coat. A perfect pink-toned nude. There's not really much to say about this, except that I really, really like it. It's so clean looking and I feel well-groomed when I'm wearing it! I got this off ebay a while ago for about £4 so it was a nice little bargain too!

I got some BB's in the post yesterday :) :) :) :) :) They are AMAZING! I will be showing you pics soon!

Nails Inc London & 17 Cosmic Heather

After reading The Swatchaholic's post about jazzing up your nudes, I decided to give it a go.

I did 2 coast of Nails Inc - London (Part of the buy 2 bottles of diet coke and get 1 Nails Inc polish free)


This is a lovely light taupey beige. Apologies for the blob on the middle finger - I had a hair on my nail and this was the result after brushing it until the little mite came off. I fixed this with Avon Smudge Fixer afterwards.

Then I put 1 coat of 17 Cosmic Heather...


Cosmic Heather is a lilac based sheer with a golden shimmer. I'm not sure whether this is still available as I got it quite a while ago. I hope you'll agree that these are a winning formula together.

Thank you to The Swatchaholic for putting this idea in my head - it's perfect for someone not wanting to wear a work appropriate colour!

I hope you've all had a nice weekend.

Tilly, xx

China Glaze - FYI

Hello my lovelies. It's Monday again and I think I am getting a cold :( As you know, I have been away for the weekend and unfortunately forgot to take pictures of the 2nd part of my patriotic mani (which was painted red crosses on each nail) D'oh!

Anywho, look what I had waiting for me when I got back :)

Ooooh yeah!!! China Glaze - FYI from the OMG collection...Such an amazing amount of holo-ness! It's a lovely nudey/gold holographic polish. My other holos are Color Club - Wild at Heart and Fashion Addict, but this is so different to those. The holo particles seem to be much smaller - does anyone else think this?

This is 3 coats and the first 2 I had major cuticle drag and was getting a little worried as to how it was going to turn out, but after the 3rd coat, it was all perfect. I picked up this little stunner on ebay for a bargain £2.20!

I want to do a shout out to Jenni at nailpolishUK because I WON HER GIVEAWAY!!! My first ever giveaway win :) I'm so happy and can't wait to swatch the Misa's I'm getting :D
