LiL Challenge: Tv/Film Inspired!

Today's prompt from Life in Lacquer is "Tv/Film Inspired!"

After bouncing a few ideas off Sarah, I settled on a Marvel theme... Which turned into a Thor-theme.... Which turned into Loki.
Ah, Loki, I love you.

Actually, I think I love Tom Hiddleston (*swoon*)... But Loki is pretty dang amazing!

Anyway, back to the nails!

This was my first attempt on free-hand nail art like... ever.... And I got a little carried away on the pinkie!

But overall, I'm quite proud of this mani, so I took lots of pics to spam you with!

So may main aim here was to capture the horns, which I attempted on my index and ring fingers, and also to get a bit of a pic of his face with the start of his helmet-horn...thing.

The base polish I used here was Barry M Emerald, which is super pretty as you can see! It's definitely a favourite of mine!

Other polishes used include Barry M Gold Foil Effect, Barry M Textured Glitter Majesty and a Black Striper.

Since he's an evil guy, I decided he didn't deserve a nose :P (Just kidding, I wasn't sure how to do one hehe)

And here's my friend Sarah's mani for the day! It's a super cute Minnie Mouse mani!

She's done some cute classic-Minnie spots, with a highlight nail of white with a Minnie Mouse sticker! How cute!?

So that's all for today! Tomorrow I'll have a special 'Fridail' where I'm taking part in a colour challenge that some of the British Nail Bloggers are taking part in!

You can catch the next LiL Challnge prompt- dots- on here on Tuesday!

Thanks for reading!

How To: Gradient Nails

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"

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!

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!

Nail Parade!
