Fridail: Summer Spots!

By
Hey everybody!
I hope you enjoyed yesterday's post! Today I'm bringing you a cute little spotty Summer mani using a few of my new Nails Inc polishes. (You can see all of them here in this post)




My idea for this mani was to try and make the bubbles at the tip of the nail larger than those closer to the cuticle, as if the nails were all fizzy and bubble, but it didn't exactly work on all of the nails. Though, it still looks pretty cute in my opinion!



I chose pretty bright colours simply because at the time, the Sun was starting to come out and these colours kind of helped reflect that Summer was finally here, or at least close to being here. The first polish I used was the bright pink, "Shoreditch" as seen above. It was a pretty base colour and a beautiful polish even on its own, or maybe for glitter gradients! I'm sure you'll see it again very soon.




The next polish I used was as a base for the ring-finger/highlight nail, which I did in the opposite colours (and looked pretty awesome!). This polish is called "Carnaby Street" and is a beautifully bright yellow polish, that is the perfect shade between neon and pastel. I keep calling it "Canary Street" though- woops!



Finally, the last coloured-polish I used was "South Molton Street" which is an extremely sheer pale pink and takes a little bit of careful-looking to pick out on the nail. However, I kinda like how it adds something without being too vibrant with the other colours, so I'm glad I used it.



In an attempt to bring out the pale pink spots, I added some of Barry M's "Rose Quartz Glitter" on top of them. It didn't help colour-wise, but the finish of it helped to the 'fizzy' look of the nails. 
And there you go- that's the Summer Spots nails! 
I hope you liked this look as much as I did, and maybe even try it out in your own little way? If you do, I'd love to see it!

I also have some exciting news regarding the blog's look... It's being updated! Some time in the next few weeks, there'll be a new logo, header and post-divider as well as a nice, fresh, toned-down colour scheme. Hopefully you'll all like the change! I'm also looking to upgrade to an original domain name- meaning the 'blogger.co.uk' will be lost (horray!), but this will happen after the update and I shall let you know in advance!

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!

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!
