I'm going to Africa!!

Ahhhhhhh oh em gee hi!

As you can tell by the post title, I'm going to Africa! Which part? South Africa! Oh yes! I'm super duper excited- I leave on Friday, and I've managed to gather a whopping two guest posts to fill in while I'm not here, so I'm afraid the blog will be a bit droopy for 10 days while I'm away, but I promise to bring back many, many hopefully adorable/amazing images for you all. (I'm so excited!)

To mark the occasion/announce it to you all, I used some full-nail water decals featuring some adorable leopards, so here they are!





As a base coat, I used Leighton Denny's "Opaque Elegance" which I'm pretty sure is the only nude polish in my entire collection, but it is gorgeous and likes being alone! Anyway... The nude polish really helped all the colours in the decal pop, as well as create a nice neutral base colour for all those transparent sections, so it was definitely a good colour choice!



The little flickers of glitter that you can see are also on the decal- I didn't paint them on! They help to add another dimension to the mani, and a cute little bit of bling too. The thumb decal is adorable too, it's like a prowling leopard, whereas the ring finger decal is more focused on the facial area. 



The detail on these is seriously incredible for such a small area of space and I am definitely going to order more of them next time I put in a Born Pretty Store order! They were only around £1, and just as easy as any other water decals, as long as you're patient and use polish underneath them! :)

I'll be back on Wednesday and then again on Friday, so I'll update you on what the plan is while I'm away then- for now, I shall see you Wednesday!

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...
