Get those Jumpers Out!

By
Before we fully get started here, I'd like to apologise for missing two of my usual posting slots (Friday and Monday) - things have been a little hectic with Uni work and also with looking for a house to live in next year. Thankfully all is sorted with the house now, so I just have this and a ton of uni work to settle for! And on that note- on with the post!

So it's creeping well into December, it's feeling pretty Wintery outside... what are you waiting for?
Go grab those Christmas jumpers from your wardrobe- or better yet- wear them on your nails!



This adorable, festive, fun design is done using the 'stamping' technique- which I will post a tutorial on some day! The plate used is one I got in my massive haul- Born Pretty's QA57 Stamping plate- and darn the detail you pick up from it is incredible!!


First of all, there's this adorable knitted-jumper style design with a tree, 2 reindeer and some pretty patterns mixed in, and there is not a spot out of place! (Though there is a little bubble on the tree there which shows my impatience- oops!) It's just stunning.


Next up we have this absolutely beautiful snowflake design, which makes me so so eager to re-do some Frozen nails. It's just an absolutely stunning design that I did not expect to transfer so well onto my nails- I'm gonna be using it all year round!


Next up on this mani, we have another jumpery pattern which I used, which is so adorable! The texture that you get from the detail literally makes it look knitted. Far too cute!


And finally, on my pinkie and my thumb, I threw on some of Barry M's Limited Edition Christmas Glitter- "Jingle Bells" which consists of tiny gold flakey glitter, red stockings (yes, stocking-shaped glitters!) and holographic stars, which makes a beautifully Christmassy finish to any festive mani. Base polish used is Nails Inc's "The Mall" and I stamped with Nicole by OPI's "Positive Energy" which worked amazingly well despite it being a 'normal' (non-stamping) polish. 

If you want to check out the stamping plate yourself, here's a quick link!

Check back very soon for some frog-tastic nail art and another sample review! Happy Holidays!

    Oh my gooooosh, these are adorable. I am definitely going to have to order some and play around with them. I've never used stamps before, but I simply cannot pass these up. All the Frozen ideas! Haha! The sweater designs are adorable, too! Wish I had seen this post a few days ago--the sweater design would have been perfect for a holiday party I am going to tomorrow night! ;D

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!
