My Claws are on Fire!

Hey everyone, hope you had a lovely week!

Today's post was technically supposed to be up yesterday, but I was too tired on Thursday night and my Friday's are busy busy (plus, I got ill around lunchtime, so I ended up spending half the day in bed...) Anyway, the post is here now so none of that matters :)

Today I'm going to share with you a stunning red polish and a teensy bit of nail art too. So first of all, the polish...
Meet Models Own's Diamond Luxe "Heart Red" and my freshly shaped stiletto/claw nails!




Heart Red is a beautiful vibrant red polish with the usual Diamond Luxe shimmery feature.


It literally matches the colour of the bottle, so if you see it in stores, you won't be surprised when you cover your nails.


As you can see in these pics, it catches the light perfectly, and the little shimmers appear golden.


Overall this polish could resemble many things, but my main thoughts was "rubies" when I was applying it- though I can see it being associated with many other things.


It's a very classic colour that could just tie an outfit together with a pop of colour, and also that would match well with a bright red lipstick. It's also a darn good colour ready for Halloween- it's just screaming vampire at me!


Another thing it screamed to me was "fire"! So, I made some pin-marble flames for the tips of my talons!


Pin marbling is super duper easy to do, and I have a tutorial right here! And also a more specific post on the flames, here!


The parker polish here is Nails Inc's "Richmond Terrace" and here's a lighter brown in there too, which is Barry M Gelly "Paprika"



So there we have it... My claws on fire! 


I hope you enjoyed this post, I'd love to know what you think of the polish, design and my new nail shape, so don't forget to drop me a comment!
See you all on Monday!

Insta'd... Shopping!

Hey everyone! So whilst exams are underway, I'm gonna be posting some random updates showing my recent instagram pics and writing some text-only posts. Today I'm grouping up my last week-or-so's shopping items! First of all, I ordered some pretty little MoYou London  stamping plates and an XL stamper... And I'm loving them all. You'll hear loads more about these post-exams!

Wiki'd Nails: Tesla

Hey everyone! Today's "Wiki'd Nails" Challenge subject is "Tesla"... of the Nikola Tesla variety. I must say, I recognised the name when I first read it but wasn't sure what he did. Apparently he's best known for the AC system in electricity, which sparked a few ideas to transfer onto nails. My first plan was going to be some lightning strike nails, but then I remembered about a new stamping plate I got...

Happy New Year! (Have a quick update~)
