Fridail: Orange Shapey Nails!

By
Hey everyone! :)
Today I'm killing two birds with one stone and combining the two challenges I'm taking part in. (Dangerous, right?)
So that means for the British Nail Blogger's "Colour Me Crazy" challenge, my nails must be Orange!



And for Life In Lacquer's challenge, they must be all Geometric and shapey! 


So I smushed those two together and boom! These rather untidy, weird nails came out!


So the pastel orange I used was really uneven to apply... I think it needs to hit the bin *sniffles*


To get the shapes, I used the triangular and the round nail-tip stickers. I was extremely impatient with them, too, so that's why they came about all smudgy- I take full responsibility!




So the polishes I used here were Rimmel's "Tangy Tangerine" (what a cute name!) which is the pastel base, Essie's "Bazooka" which is the bright orange, and Nicole by OPI's "American as Apple Pie" from the Carrie Underwood collection, which is of course, the red. 

Anyway, after showcasing my potentially worst looking mani ever, I will redeem myself next week, I promise! 
But before that- here's Sarah's nails! The blues are stunning and the way the lines are working reminds me of waves! So pretty!




See you then! :)

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!

Make Sure You Follow!

By
Hey everyone! Apologies for the lack of yesterday's post- unfortunately this one if going to be the last before I go away tomorrow. I'm not 100% sure if there'll be wifi at the place we're staying (we're going to study the animals after all, not to be social over the internet), but just in case there is, you should make sure that you're following me on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook! I'll try to post at least one image or update on each per day, assuming that we have wifi, so to be a part of this adventure, make sure you hit the buttons!
