Must-Have's!

By
Doing a simple post today- a Nail Polish lover's Must Have's!

1) A White Polish
Definitely a must have if you wanna be doing some creative work :)
I haven't found an 'amazing' one yet- but my favourite so far is Barry M's "Matt White" which gives you a decent covering two-coater for a mere £2.99 (from Superdrug, Boots or Barrym.com)



Do you have a good white in your collection? I wanna try it- so share in the comments!

2) Barry M Gelly Polish
At LEAST one of them, they're just so amazingly perfect! <3

Left to Right: Blueberry, Greenberry, Guava, Papaya
3) Liquid Sands (Or Equivalent Glitter-Textures!)
LOVE LOVE LOVE, SO MUCH LOVE.
They're just so perfect and... yeahh... *sigh/swoon*
OPI Liquid Sand "What's Your Number?"

OPI Liquid Sand "What Wizardry Is This?"
Barry M Textured Royalty Glitter- "Princess"
4) Glitter Polishes!
I love sparkles- do you too? If not, then I am extremely disappointed in you dears! Extremely. (I'm kidding, you can like whatever you want)




You just gotta have some sparkle in your life :)

5) Gems!
Gem wheels are possibly one of the best things in the world- they can add a bit of sophisticated interestingness to your mani- amazing! :)

You can get them for cheap on amazon and ebay :) (Cheap being under £5 (inc postage))

6) Crackle Polish(es)!
Crackle polishes are definites for those 'I wanna be interesting but can't be bothered' days, and can really make your nails stand out from the crowd. Bring back the crackle trends guys!



7) Black Striper!
Black stripers= also a life saver. So you want to do a funky design, like a zebra print one! But the brush on a normal polish is just way too think and you do SO not want to do that with a toothpick- the striper's your answer :)



8) Matte Top Coat!
Another beautiful discovery by those nail experts out there. An amazing addition to anyone's collection, the matte top coats can make a design just that teeny bit extra interesting- even more than it was just before! :)



Beautiful! :D

And I think that's pretty much the must-have's of my nail collection :D
Oh! And a dotting tool, because dots are awesome! ^^
That's all for now, see you's soon! :)

      I'm so obsessed with Barry M that it litterally makes up half of my collection... Woops! :D They're all amazing polishes (with an exception to the sequin ones....)

    This is such a fun post! Huh... I only have 3 of these things... is that bad? :) But I live in the US so I can't get Barry M polishes (unless I want to pay like $20 for shipping)! Grrr!

How To: Gradient Nails

By
Gradient nails are a great way to ensure that your mani matches your outfit over a set period of days (depending on how many colours you use), and it also just looks pretty dang awesome. You've seen a few of my own mani's where gradients have been used (these ones below, in example), especially those in more recent posts! So a tutorial is definitely long overdue- I hope you find it useful!

Mail: Messy Mani

By
Hello! Let it be known that from this day forth, any nail posts posted on Mondays shall be known as "Mail's". Yay! For the first "Mail" post, I'm going to be sharing one of my new purchases with you... Model's Own's "Erase" Corrector Pen! I feel like this could be a major turning point in my blog's image quality, as I no longer have an excuse for messy mani's.  Though I'd first like to point out that I feel like I have come quite far since the beginning of my blog, and no longer post images such as this... I mean, just look at that thumb!? (Polish is Barry M Spring Green) ...Except for today, I'm posting a very (purposefully) messy mani, to show you how the corrector pen can work! Also please keep in mind that I actually did this mani pretty much in the dark, around midnight the other day. :D I quite enjoyed being super careless with my painting, actually. Is that wrong of me? Also, you m...

Wail: Models Own Hypergel "Blue Glint"

By
Hello hello, good day to you! :) Welcome to the first ever on-purpose Wednesday Nail post! Freshly nicknamed as... The Wail ! Today's Wail features Models Own's Hypergel in the shade "Blue Glint" ! For those of you who don't know, the Hypergel polishes are fairly new polishes by Models Own, being released in February 2014, and they're polishes which produce a 'Gel' effect... Without the use of UV lamps. (Kinda similar to the Barry M Gelly's, but we'll get onto that in a sec) The colour I went for initially was Red Lustre  but I lucked out by a couple of minutes and it had sold out on the Models Own site just  before I went to buy it. *sniffles* So, instead, I went for the blue, cause you can never have too many blues!
