Weekly Update On Biletto. Week 2

Hi Guys :)

Today, I have a fancy dress post for Biletto. This is based on a comment from Bug in a post from last week :)

Ladies and Gents, may I introduce, for one day only,

Princess Biletto, Of Bloggerville!

Haha!

Do you like her Tiara?! Lol! Was going to do a face and hair but thought that would be TOO much hehe!

 

 

As soon as I read the comment from bug - ''little B looks like a princess'' I knew that I'd do a tiara due to the point of the nail resembling the shape of one. And pink, every princess loves pink :D

 



I didn't want to do a harsh pink so I lifted my franken - Barbie Shimmer. Perfect girly colour. It has a gorgeous shimmer to it, as the name suggests! lol! The background of the tiara is Hot Looks - Wow. I then stuck on a few random pink gems to make the jewels. Viola - Princess Biletto!

Other things I've noticed about having stiletto nails:

They do not seem to bend. AT ALL. I have yet to bend my nail backwards when doing laundry. It seems really strong compared to my 'ordinary' nails.

They are super KitKat foil splitters!

When they go sheer from water intake, they take a while to return to normal. The above photo was taken exactly 24 hrs after my bath! Normally takes a few hours but not a full day!

They are awesome for splinter removal!

So there you go, no major problems and I can still work and get things done with the nail so She will be staying for a while yet.

Til next week

Weekly update on Biletto

Hi guys :)

I know this was supposed to be posted yesterday but I was very busy and didn't have time. So here we are, a day late, little B's review...

last week

yesterday

As you can see, there is not much growth from last week but you can see that it is getting pointier.

Now, as for practicality, it hasn't had many drawbacks... yet.

 

The only thing that has drawn my attention to it has been scraping (not badly) my daughters belly as I dressed her :( Granted, we were late for school and she does jump about like a kangaroo when I try to get any type of clothes on her but I still thought it worth a mention.

 

These are also things of note:

 

I always painted my skin on my thumb when painting the free edge. ALWAYS.

I could get a better parting in my daughters hair for her ponytail without a comb. Handy :)

I found it easier to pierce clingfilm :)

Pushing my cuticles back was soooooo much easier too.

 

So, I'm going to carry on with the challenge until such times as I need to cut or I decide I hate it. Check in every week for updates :)

You Named It What?!

Hi guys :)

Don't you just hate it when a company brings out a gorgeous colour and gives it THE most pathetic name?

Well, how about this...
This gorgeous little polish has the uninspired name of REDDISH PURPLE... o_O
Seriously... And what a beauty!

 

The above pics where taken with flash.

It is a super dark (magenta?) base, almost black, with a cerise glitter. It's awful with 1 coat, I mean, I actually grimaced when I saw it but drooled once I had a second, thicker coat on. The one coat kinda looked like a streaky sheer grey with pink glitter. I finished this off with black french tips and clear top coat.

The above picture was taken in artificial light (kitchen) and the picture below was taken in the bathroom with flash. 

This polish deserves a better name but the company who make this also have polishes by the names of Dark Green and Dark Blue... Believe me, both are stunning.

OOOOH! As you know, if you read my ramblings, I had to file my nails down due to having too much fun and not looking after my nails. Ah well, it was soooo worth it! Anyhoo, I decided to use one as an experiment.

This, Ladies and Gentlemen, is the STILETTO NAIL CHALLENGE!!
I filed this thumb into a small baby stiletto... ish shape. I plan to grow this nail as much as I can as a stiletto to see just how practical it is. Will I stab myself in the eye? Will I stab someone else's eye? Are my children's lunches safe with this (soon to be) stanley knife thumb or will I send them to school with holes in their sandwiches? We'll soon find out I guess :)

I am going to post weekly pics and reviews of the Eye Putteroutter.... Stayed tuned :)

Bye Nailies
