My Claws are on Fire!

Hey everyone, hope you had a lovely week!

Today's post was technically supposed to be up yesterday, but I was too tired on Thursday night and my Friday's are busy busy (plus, I got ill around lunchtime, so I ended up spending half the day in bed...) Anyway, the post is here now so none of that matters :)

Today I'm going to share with you a stunning red polish and a teensy bit of nail art too. So first of all, the polish...
Meet Models Own's Diamond Luxe "Heart Red" and my freshly shaped stiletto/claw nails!




Heart Red is a beautiful vibrant red polish with the usual Diamond Luxe shimmery feature.


It literally matches the colour of the bottle, so if you see it in stores, you won't be surprised when you cover your nails.


As you can see in these pics, it catches the light perfectly, and the little shimmers appear golden.


Overall this polish could resemble many things, but my main thoughts was "rubies" when I was applying it- though I can see it being associated with many other things.


It's a very classic colour that could just tie an outfit together with a pop of colour, and also that would match well with a bright red lipstick. It's also a darn good colour ready for Halloween- it's just screaming vampire at me!


Another thing it screamed to me was "fire"! So, I made some pin-marble flames for the tips of my talons!


Pin marbling is super duper easy to do, and I have a tutorial right here! And also a more specific post on the flames, here!


The parker polish here is Nails Inc's "Richmond Terrace" and here's a lighter brown in there too, which is Barry M Gelly "Paprika"



So there we have it... My claws on fire! 


I hope you enjoyed this post, I'd love to know what you think of the polish, design and my new nail shape, so don't forget to drop me a comment!
See you all on Monday!

Finally , the time has come for the ever-promised "Barry M Gelly Polishes Review & Swatch" Post! YAY! Now, now, settle down, settle down, and prepare yourself for an image-heavy post! Panorama View? Yes please... Okay, so that picture isn't too great. But there's the colours that between us (Me and Rhian) have in the Gelly range. We're only missing "Grapefruit" I think...

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!
