Nude And Navy - Awful Or Not?

Hi Guys :)

Today I'm showing these (not-sure-if-they-are) beauties. Nude and navy... can't decide if I like them or not.

I used Jessie's Girl - Stiletto as undies and tipped with Lizzie Rocks - In The Navy. I used Chit Chat - Purple for the glitter top coat. As you can probably notice, the ring finger looks a bit odd. And it's not just because I used Chit Chat - Pink too. It's because I used a thin layer of Hidden Treasure... and I wish I hadn't. My nail looks like it has been in the bath too long. It looks wrinkled!

As accent fingers go, I hate it.

Ewww, I've just decided, looking at this picture, I really dislike this mani.... the odd man out anyway. the rest is ok.

What do you guys think? Yay or Nay?

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 :)

Plastic Pink And Glitzy Tips

Boy, is that title a mouthful! I keep saying 'Plastic Plink'! Ha!

Hi Guys :)

Now, I'm not normally one to wear pink. Before I had my daughter, I don't think I had any pink in my house. In fact, The only reason I own pink polish is because Mr Pixie~Nails bought me a huge stash of polish (15 or so bottles) on a trip to Prague, and it included about 3 or 4 pinks. I then got some included in a bulk purchase on ebay. And from then, I have grown to like this once detested colour.

This is brand, La Femme. It doesn't have a visible name or number so I call it Candy. It's got a gorgeous plastic look about it and it's a super-girly barbie pink. If you look closely, you can see a slight shimmer but I didn't notice this irl. This went on like a dream. A perfect 1-coater if applied with care. I used 2, out of habit.

 

This is Chit Chat nail varnish - Pink. It is made exclusively for Poundland and comes in a variety of colours. I love these, they are jam-packed with glitter and wonderful for making frankens with.

These didn't need to be dabbed on like some glitter polishes as the glitter placed itself perfectly. The photo above was only 1 coat on the tips! Normally I'd have to dab, dab, dab to get this.

The next couple of pictures are the mani a few days old, about 3 if I remember correctly. I got bored, like I do after a few days so I added my Glitterball franken. It was made with loose, large holo hex glitters from ebay and Fairy Dust from La Femme.

So there you have it, possibly my last vault photo for now. My nails are back to a decent state so I will be ok posting pics of them. XD

Later Nailies :D

Grey tips and Glequins

Hi guys :D

For the next week or so I am going to post pictures from my vault as my nails have been battered from the family holiday :(

I had no nail care for a week and that led to splits and breaks and bad cuticles... euuggghhh.... sooo, I had to bite the bullet and file them all down to little baby nubs. Sad face.

Anyhoo, here is a mani I had on from a few weeks before the holiday.

First off, I put on a base coat and tipped them with my grey franken - Graphite.

This has a gorgeous shimmer to it:

I then added some single largeish hex glitters to my nails in random designs:

These are the glitters I used:

I topped this off with 2 coats of your basic top coat and voila!

Hope you like
