Wail: Birthday Blue!

Hi everyone!
So it was my 18th birthday yesterday, hence why this post is a little late! But I have a fun post for you all to enjoy :)

Introducing to you- my birthday mani!
I love love love these polishes- I think I've only used them once each, but wow, they're just amazing and I definitely need to use them more.
Apologies for the little bit of tip-wear, it's been on since Saturday (so, 5 days between application and the picture taking!) so the wear on these polishes is actually very good!



The first polish is Rimmel London's Salon Pro by Kate, in the shade "Britpop" which is such a fun name! The colour is also absolutely stunning, it's such a rich blue, but is kinda bright at the same time and a borderline dark teal colour. The brush for application is also pretty wide, which makes coverage super easy in only one to two strokes!
There's another bonus too- the polish is very shiny even before a top coat! Totally recommend this polish, and you can buy it from Superdrug for £4.49 :)





The other nail polish I used was an OPI "Beach Sandies" mini called "What's a Little Rain Forest" and is once again definitely one of my favourites, though I wish OPI would bring it out in a standard-sized bottle! It's one of their textured Liquid Sand polishes, which have little glitter shimmers in and look absolutely stunning in the sunshine. 
It's again a beautiful colour, that is more turquoise than blue, which makes it even better in my opinion!
You can get the set of 4 mini's for £6.96 + p&p from amazon.


So that was my birthday mani... On to some polishes that I got for presents!!



These two lovely Revlon polishes are "Jackson Polish" (top) and "Ulterior Motif". I am loving these names! These polishes have a base colour on one side and another on the other (the metallic/glitter ends), which have thinner brushes that seem to be like striping brushes. 


Next up we have two pretty Nails Inc polishes! One matte red called "Gatwick" and a 3D Turquoise glitter called "Fitzroy Square". I can't wait to try these! 


Second to last, I present to you a silver Nicole by OPI polish called "Positive Energy" which may be useful in the future if the name speaks true! 


Finally, I give you a Butter London polish with the awesome name of "Lovely Jubbly"! I think this is the first one that I'm going to try, maybe along with 'positive energy', so watch this space!

That's all I have for you today, so I shall see you again on Friday! Once again, sorry for the wait! :)

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!

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!

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!
