Meeow! Easy Wild nails!

Just a qwick post today to show you one of the qwickest things to do to your nails ever! This has got to be THE easyiest nail design ever, and it looks so effective. Its sort of zebra, cheetah design that can be used with any colour with only a eyeliner as your tool.
I always use MUA exrtreme felt tip eyeliner for all of my nail designs as its a type of pen. A brush is most times unpredictible.
For my base coat colour i used Leighton Denny Babydoll (which i got in my glossybox!).
All you need to do is apply your desierd colour, leave to dry completly, and take your eyeliner and apply strokes from each side, careful not to make them too thick!
SO easy!

Look Beauty Nail Pops, Lepoard style!

I love nail art, and by the last post i did i thought ild treat you all to another! Im currently bed bound with the worst flu-cold type thing ever. So what better way then to spend my day perfecting my nails. Its defiantly cheering me up!
I LOVE the nail pop nail polishes from Look beauty, there glossy, hard wearing and easy to apply. And considering my window shows me only a gloomy day, i thought ild brighten it up with these nails!
I Used...
Left to right - Nail pop in Flares, Top Coat in Strengthening top coat and Nail pop in Juice.

Finished look...
 How i did it...
1. File and base coat the nail, ive gone for a square shape.
2. I took juice and did two coats, just as normal and let to fully dry.
3. Take your leopard print spot colour, (i have flares), and make sure theres not too much on the brush. Just spot on your nails, doesn't have to be neat, do some big spots and some small spots.
4. Take a liquid eyeliner, can be any liquid eyeliner, i use a felt tip one because it gives me more of a controllable line, and draw around the spots, some not all the way round, most of mine Ive just drawn half way round.
5. Leave to fully dry (important) and apply top coat. I use Nail pop top coat as it lasts FOREVER!

Hope you enjoy and have a go yourself!
Lots of love.

Nails of the day!

Just a qwick little post today. Ive only just got home from work and my throat feels like im swallowing razorblades but i HAD to show you my nails, because if truth be told, im pretty proud of them.
I used...
(Sorry for my shocking paint skills, i hope this is clear enough). While im here can i just express my love for these AMAZING glitter nail files! Small things please small minds, so they say.

Heres my finished look...
(Sorry im holding the eyeliner, took this picture for twitter and this is the clearest picture of the nails!)

How i did it...
Firstly i used the nail files to file my nails to desired shape. Then used the base coat to stop staining and to give a smoother base for my colours.
Then i used Pink Friday from the Nicki Minaj OPI collection and applied 2 coats to each nails and left to dry.
Once dry, i used Fly (also from the Nicki Minaj OPI collection) and very carefully used the small brush to sweep a diagional tip from each side, to create a zig-zag kind of impression. Overlap the diagional tip to create look. Doesnt have to be amazingly neat, we can sort that out later.
Left to completly dry and use your MUA felt tip eyeliner (can be any eyeliner, but this is so easy to use as its like a pen) and cover any mistakes and to create a even line.
Leave to completly dry. Then add a layer of top coat. I use Look Beauty Nail Pop (this stuff is amazing!). I did the top coat before the white dots as i did one nail white dots before top coat and it smeared all over my nail. Not cool.
Once top coat is dry, carefully use the white nail art pen and place dots along the eyeliner line. (you can use any colour, i just used white because its what i had).
Leave it to dry for a couple hours then apply top coat to the whole thing.
If you have any questions please comment me!

Hope you like and hope you start experimenting with your polishes with this design! MUA have told me that Shades 9 and 16 work a treat together. Hope you like.

Thanks!

Opi Nicki Minaj Minis!

This big Opi spend up has not been good for my bank balance, but for beautiful nails, i think i can justify. Ive recently brought the Nicki minaj mini collection, purely for the fact that i loved them all i didn't know which full size one to pick, so decided ill get 4 in mini form! The colours are literally like nothing ive ever seen before. I love each one.
The 4 bottles are very small, only enough for about 10 applications. But for £12 it was well worth the spend.

 First up is Did it on 'em, and its a green and yellow shade. Its actually like nothing ive ever seen before and i was actually pleasantly surprised when i saw it on my nails because this isn't a shade i would usually go for, but it looks so nice on!
This was taken without flash, i applied two coats but i reckon a third one is needed as i still had a few thin patches. 
This was with flash on, looks almost yellow florescent, but its defiantly darker then this in non-flash real life.

Next up is Fly. And i reckon this is probably my favourite shade. Its a bright sky blue and looks fab on.
This is without flash, isnt it beautiful?
This photo is with flash on, and this is defiantly the shade that it looks like in daylight. My fingers look so wrinkly.

3rd shade is Pink Friday. Ive got alot of baby pinks, and alot simular to this, but its nice to have a new one once in a while.
This picture is without flash, this was with 2 coats and i definatly need to put another one on as you can see thin bits. 
This picture is with flash on and it is such a nice pink. This reminds me of Niki minajs' pink lips that she always has.

Lastly is a mini verson of Metallic 4 life. This is a black/grey base with little specks of glitter and shimmer, its actully soo pretty. 
This photo is without flash as this picture is definatly how it comes out. Ah beautiful!

Which one is your favorite, i couldnt pick, i love them all!
Thanks for reading. Lots of love.

Opi Pirates of the Carribean Mermaids Tears!

Now, all the nail varnishes ive owned and worn recently have been packed with glitter, shimmer and anything that sparkles. But, ive stepped away from the glitter nails and gone back to basics with a stunning emmerald green made by OPI. I brought my sister this nail polish for christmas and loved it, my friend also has it and everyone ive spoke to about it have told me how much they have fallen in love with it, and truth me told. Im smitten with it.
Its so beautiful, a sort of green, jade, grey and emmerald shades and looks amazing on. The finish is glossy and smooth, and also qwick drying which is always a plus!
This picture is without flash, this picture gives of very grey shades. Yes that is my spotty bed cover and yes i am very lazy sitting in bed doing this, a long day at work has not helped!
Im actully in love with this polish. Aah! This picture is with flash on.
Goes amazingly with my new ring!!!

Thanks for reading my lovely readers.

Opi Muppet Collection Animal-istic!

If you are a regular visitor on my blog, you will be very aware of my obsession with OPI, and my slight obsession with glitter, just a little. This is my fourth muppet collection blog post, i have Gone Gonzo, Divine Swine, Meep meep meep and now ive added to my collection by purchasing the BEAUTIFUL Animal-istic, this is very simular to Meep meep meep. Where as Meep meep meep is very red and pinky fine glitter, this is red orangy fine glitter, i love them both!
As you can see its red tones and orange tones and shimmer glitter in it. It looks beautiful on!
This photo is with flash on.
This photo is without flash on. This was only with 2 coats, and such a beautiful, glossy colour! This would look amazing in the summer. 

Do you have any favorite OPI's?
Thanks for reading!
