Starry Skies

Hello Lovelies,

Just a quick nail art post for you today. This was meant to be part of the 15 Days of Nails Challenge I attempted to pursue, under the Galaxy Nails day. Due to Holiday, Olympics and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, that plan went a little haywire! I really liked these nails though, so I thought I would show you anyway. :)

OPI Polish in Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous

Beauty Success Nail Polish in Blue Metal

Mavala Polish in Gold Glitter

It was really very easy to do, I just added a gradual layer of glitter getting less heavy handed with the brush as I reached the middle of the nail :) Hope you like them!

I recently added a new tab to my blog called 'Blogs Worth Reading'. I will be adding more and more of the lovely blogs I follow as time goes by. Go and have a look and I promise, you will discover some gems! :)

Much Love

15 Days of Nails Challenge #2 Pattern

Hello Lovelies,

Today is the second day in the 15 Days of Nails Challenge and the theme is 'Pattern'.

I wanted to do something pretty but abstract at the same time. This is why I came up with this blossom design...

Now I am aware that this style of look has been done a lot before, but I thought I would try my own take on it and am rather pleased with how it turned out. Its nice and girly, but not in a sickly sweet kind of way (not that there is anything wrong with that :P)

You may recognise some of these colours from recent posts. The reason for this is I am still on holiday and have a limited amount of nail polishes to work with! Lets see if I can pull this challenge off for the next 3 days shall we without my stock:) 

As per usual I started off with two coats of OPI Nail Envy Original. For the base I used Sweet as Sugar by Rimmel, I then used my Loreal Super Liner to Draw the stems in. For the Flowers I used a mixture of Ciate's Jelly Bean and Mistress and OPI Sweet Heart along with the end of a kirby grip (as a dotting tool.) I then finished off with a coat of Seche Vite. 

So that's it folks!

I hope you are having a lovely day and make sure you check out Fee's post along with the others taking part here.

Much Love

Lou

P.S Today is the last day of my Giveaway. You can enter here if you haven't already done so! Good Luck :)

I Joined Twitter!! + NOTD :)

It has taken me a very long time, however I have finally joined the (and i quote) 'Social Networking Site Everyone is Raving About'. Now I know its been around for ages and your probably sat there going 'What the hell is that girl on about?' but after lots of umming and ahhing i decided that, Yes i will get addicted to it, but No that's OK because it means I can keep all you lovely people updated on up and coming blog posts etc :)

Here's the part where i get really sad and lonely...

I HAVE NO FRIENDS!!!
aha
Nobody i know has twitter, deary me...

I have no idea how to use it, what to do or what is 'cool' :') so follow me follow me follow me lalalala... or equally leave your addresses in the comments and ill check out your twitter? That's sounds so odd:L

Anyhoooo, if you haven't been completely put off by all the things i just wrote, then it would be lovely to know what you all think, any suggestions for blog posts, as i plan to get really into blogging now i have a lot more time on my hands:)

Enough Rambling, onto NOTD ...

So I was sat watching The Simpsons earlier on this evening, and took it upon myself to paint my nails a lovely shade of Green, OPI Jade is the New Black to be precise, so i suppose you could say a shade of Jade? Hmmm

I also decided to 'live a little' (insert sheepish face) and paint over the top of this with the deliciously glittery 'Call my celery' by OPI. An adorable name i must say.
Here are the pictures, I'm not sure you can see the glitter too well but you get the idea.:)

Do you like my Little Miss Neat coaster peaking out from the right:P

This Colour is truly gorgeous and goes on really well in two coats, no streaks. Although I'm a bit of a scrooge and we are many months away from Christmas the little gold flecks in the glitter are very very Christmassy:) Hot Chocolate time I think...

Love
