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
Ellie :)

Galaxyish....

Everyone has tried them so, so shall I!

 

 

blurry bokeh... purdy

These were quite easy to do, I was surprised to find. I just painted on a very dark navy. I then sponged pearly white, blue and purple on, covered it in gold and silver glitter then finished with a few blue star gems. Ooooh!, I nearly forgot, I also put on some white dots and some single holo glitters too :)

 

The above photos were the afters because before the whole hand was done, I had thought it interesting and 'kewl' to have an accent nail.... no ellie, just no...

 

It was the disastrous northern lights nail.... Bahahahaha! As you can see it was far prettier in my head than on the nail... I shall never show you anything as rubbish again (touch wood).

 







So there you have it, galaxy nails a la pixie.

Hope your mascara didn't run/you didn't get in trouble with the boss laughing at Aurora Crapialous :) hehe! Maybe some day I shall do Volcano nails... or Rubbish Green Flame nails! lmao!

til next time my pretties < sorry, watched Wizard of Oz earlier!

Fakie Flakie Foils and Wotnots

 

Ok, remember a while ago in the homemade crackle post, I mentioned something about a *whisper whisper*?

Well, here it is.....

Fakie Flakie Foils and Wotnots. TA-DA!! lol!

For those of you who read all my ramblings (and bless you, if ya do, lol) you will probably have come to realise, I love to experiment. I love to stick random things on my nails to see how they will affect the polish/shade/look etc. Well, today's post is no different.


I found this little beauty when I was clearing out my
bathroom cabinets. It seems to be an iridescent crinkle paper, the kind you'd get in a christmas box.  Instantly, things started running through my head... 'what could I do with this? FLAKIE POLISH!' I ran downstairs to my polish box and completely forgot about cleaning the bathroom! hehe!


I rolled up a small amount and trimmed bits off and poured into a bottle with clear nail polish. Eagerly, I waited......

 

 

While this was 'brewing', (or leaving to see if it'd sink) I decided to see what else I could do. So, I cut a small nail shape out of another bit and stuck it with clear polish to my nail. Meh, so I stuck another nail with black polish... OOOOOOOOH! PRETTY!

Seeing how pretty the crinkle paper was over black I decided to see what else I could do...

 

black polish with crinkle stripe

black polish with random shapes

black polish with crinkle tip, this kinda reminds me of a beetle.

This wasn't the tidiest mani I've ever done but it was fun! I kept it on overnight and when I came to take it off the next day, that's when I discovered something else! (Ooooooh, I love discovering things!) lol! The finger that I had painted black and covered completely in the crinkle paper, was hard getting off. I had to get tweezers to pull up the corners but when I did get it off, the black polish that was left looked just like (kinda) OPIs spotted.

 

 

For some reason, I decided to paint over it with a neon yellow.... I have no idea.... I was just looking a sheer polish and this was the one I lifted. Wish I had lifted a nicer colour, this makes it look zombie-ish ha! Anyways, great for halloween!

 

The whole hand again but I mattified it to see what would happen.

 

 

Oh! The flakie polish... well, it worked.... for all of 1 day. After a couple of days I came back to it and it had lost all its rainbow colours. It was basically clear crinkle in clear polish... :( Here are 2 shots of it before it faded. The nail wheel still has it's colour til this day.

I can still cut up bits of crinkle paper and put it on like glequins, it keeps its colour that way but not in a franken, ah well. And I will definitely be trying the full black polish and crinkle mani again... but tidier!

More experimenting another time :)

Hope this inspired you,
