Wail: Vicky's Back!

By
Hi everybody! Today I return Vicky to you all with another awesome post!
Hope you're all well and having a great week ^^
------------------------------
Hello everyone! It’s Vicky from Vicky Loves Nails back with my second guest post for Rachel whilst she is doing her exams (I hope they have been going well!)


I’ve been using my fan brush quite a lot recently in nail art, so I decided to show you one of the manicure’s I have created using that today. Up until about a month ago I had never used my fan brush, but since trying it I have loved it and I’ve been using it loads.. I don’t know why it took me so long to try it!



For this design I used a base colour of Nails Inc – Holland Park Gardens and used an unnamed Color Club for the fan brush gradient. I decided to combine it with one of my other favourite techniques; the glitter gradient. The glitter I used was Next Nail – Night Fever.




I really loved how these came out; they sort of remind me of dewy grass as the glitter makes it glisten. They were so easy to create too!


Thanks again Rachel for having me on your blog and I hope you all enjoyed my post.

Thank you Vicky! Once again, I adore those colours! And I never even thought about using a fan brush in that way- what a great idea! I'm going to have to try it some time.
Don't forget to go and check out Vicky's blog (link at the top!) and have a great couple of days before you check back here on Friday!
Thanks for reading,

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!

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...
