Copper Triangles

Hey everyone! Hope you've all had a lovely weekend. I was meant to have quite a busy one but I was far too ill yesterday to do anything so i just painted my nails and watched TV - a perfect day really, had it not been for me being ill! Luckily I'm feeling a bit better today and I managed to get some holiday shopping done. I found a skirt today that I think I'll be doing some nails inspired by, so keep an eye out for that! 

Today's nails are as a result of me just playing around a couple of weeks ago. I really wanted to try out Barry M - Copper Mine* from the Molten Metal Collection* as I'd seen a few people using it and it seemed like the perfect mix of copper and rose gold. And it is! I love it, but of course I couldn't just wear it plain. I decided to play around with some nail art pens that I'd not used in a while, and then I added some triangle studs from She Sells Sea Shells, which I bought absolutely ages ago but never got around to doing any designs with.



The base is Barry M - Copper Mine*, then I used the black Nails Supreme nail art pen for the big and little triangles, some of which I filled in using Barry M - Silver Lining*. Then I used acetone to take out the triangles, and I used triangle studs from She Sells Sea Shells (which unfortunately don't seem to be on the website anymore) I then filled the triangles in with black to make them stand out more. All finished with a coat of Seche Vite.

Gelish Glitter Geometric

Hey everyone! I decided to take a few days break from blogging, after my awful weekend last week I really just wanted some down time and to spend a bit of quality time with my boyfriend. There's always something to do when you're a blogger, and it can start to weigh you down sometimes. I'd never give it up but sometimes I need to step away for a few days, even if I feel guilty about it. But now I've had a few days break I'm feeling refreshed and ready to write a new post. Tomorrow I'm off to the Scratch Star Awards where I'm nominated for Best Nail Blogger. I'm nominated against Sammy and Lucie so I stand no chance but I'm excited to see them both and other blogging friends and have a good time. 

Today's nails are created using the products of one of the sponsors of the scratch awards: Nail Harmony UK, the UK base for Gelish. Although, these aren't the nails I'm wearing to the Scratch Awards, I'll post those when I post about the event.  I've made no secret of the fact I love Gelish, and they've released so many amazing polishes recently so I've had lots of additions to my collection. The base for this nail art is one of those recent additions: Primrose and Proper*, from the Botanical Awakenings collection and it is a lovely subtle shade which works so well for this design, which was again inspired by Sophie of Nancy Loves Nails. I know it's very similar to this design I did a few weeks ago but I really wanted to retry the design with a gel white rather than a nail polish white, and I decided to add a bit of extra glitter too.  



I used Primrose and Proper* for my base, then I used Gelish - Last Call for the glitter (tips were done with the brush from the bottle and the triangle was done with a nail art brush) and Gelish - Arctic Freeze* also for the tips using the brush from the bottle. Finished with a coat of Gelish - Top It Off. 



I showed my friend these pictures and she liked the design so much she asked for it on her nails too.

Daisy Dixon Rose Gold Floral Nail Art

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a lovely weekend, I spent mine exploring the Yorkshire Sculpture Park and eating ice-cream in the unusually warm weather. It was nice to have a whole day relaxing and not having to think about anything. Normally I spend Sundays doing all the washing (it's boring being an adult sometimes), but our washing machine is currently broken so I managed to escape that task for this week. In my review of Gelish - Last Call I mentioned that I wouldn't be able to resist using it again, and it seemed like the perfect colour to use for this nail art inspired by this Daisy Dixon watch*. Daisy Dixon recently contacted me and asked if I would like to pick out a watch from their collection, and of course I said yes. It took me a while to decide which I wanted as there are so many to choose from on their site, but I eventually decided on the Chloe White Floral Print watch*, mainly because I knew it would work so well for nail art. 




Although the watch is rose gold on the outside, it's more of a coppery rose gold than Last Call, but I wanted to use it again, and it still works pretty well alongside the watch. 



You can purchase the watch here for £45, which is a great price for such a lovely watch. The watch came packaged in a pink and white box (as you can see on the site) and was covered in protective layers so there's no chance of it getting damaged in the post. It's great quality and will be a great accessory for summer.



The watch has this gorgeous delicate flower design on the face and I wanted to recreate it as best I could. I've been trying to improve my stamping recently and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to try again. The only problem was finding a stamping plate that matched, but luckily this MoYou plate came to my rescue. I thought the design would match the watch really well, and I love how they turned out.


For the nails I used a base of Gelish - Last Call, then I used Barry M - Cotton for the white. For the stamping design I used MASH - Black and MoYou Pro XL 06 plate. Finished with Seche Vite topcoat

Cirque Alchemy Collection Review/Swatches

Hey everyone!! I finally feel like I'm back on my blogging game and I'm thrilled about what I have to show you today. These are some shades from the new Cirque Alchemy collection. Cirque polishes are made in NYC, 3-free, and fabulous!

Ica Valley has a clear base that is absolutely packed with golden glitter. This is two coats on it's own. You could layer this over another color if you were looking for a dense gold look.


Arcane Fire is a rich red with golden shimmer. I love shades like this. The perfect fall nail color! This is two coats.


Lichen is the most stunning green polish I've ever seen. It shifts from grass green to olive green and has the most amazing shimmer to it. This is two coats.


Stella is similar to Ica Valley except that it consists of rose gold glitter. It's slightly less dense than Ica Valley; this is two coats but a third probably would have been best for opacity. However, because it's less dense, it would be great for layering over another shade!


Magnum Opus is amazingggggg. Ahhhhh! This is a purple-leaning charcoal polish with a fabulous holographic finish. This is two coats. 


Cirque polishes can be purchased at their online store and retail between $13-$15 each. There are a bunch of other awesome shades in the Alchemy collection so go check them out! You will not be disappointed. Are you drooling over Magnum Opus like I am? What about Lichen?
