Don't Judge Me!

Right, I know this is getting out of hand now, but do you know what? I don't feel bad... It's hard work being a single Mum, especially when you live with a disease that effects you on a daily basis, so why shouldn't I treat myself to things for my nails? 


Left to right, Sally Hansen Supershine, Gel Cuticle Remover, Advanced Hard As Nails, Double Duty, Continuous Treatment. 
First off let's start with the Sally Hansen nail care. You know I like to try out base and top coats, plus I use them up really quickly as I'm painting my nails pretty much every day at the moment. You may have noticed as a result of me doing my nails so often, my poor cuticles have not been looking too great so I grabbed some cuticle oil and remover. 


Left to right, Sally Hansen Sea & Be Seen, Metallic Momentum, Pepto Pink, Grape Going!,  Whirlwind White, Gold Flash. 
Next we have the Sally Hansen Insta Dri's. I was really impressed with the others that I've already tried, especially as they can be used for stamping so I got some more of them. Do you know of any 'must have' polishes in this line? 

I'd also heard some great things about their Complete Salon Manicure line, so thought I'd try one of those aswell. 


Left to right, NYX Nail Art Pen Beige Pearl, Flirt Nail Art Pen Boy Crazy, OPI Plugged In Plum, W7 Black, Orly It's Up To Blue. 
The lovely Maria from Maria's Nail Art & Polish Blog does some absolutely stunning mani's with flowers which I love, but as my freehand skills are going to take a while to master I thought I'd give these Ciate rose stickers a whirl. As you can see I've got two nail art polishes, one in pen form and one is a striper type, more tools for my freehand mani's :-) The OPI and Orly are just pretty polishes I've grabbed, but I'd heard the W7 Black is good for stamping so I thought I'd give it a whirl. 

So really, when you look at it, I've only actually bought three polishes because the others are all for nail art or top coats. Well that's the way I'm thinking of it anyways lol. This little bunch of goodies was from the Fragrance Direct Website. This time I chose the £2.99 postage option and my order took a third of the time to arrive, so I'd say if you are thinking of getting something from them then it's worth the extra £. The packaging was also better this time so I'm glad I gave them another go. 

Well that's all from me for now. I hope you are well. Take care all, byeeeeeee x :-)

My First Experience Of Stamping...

Image
I was really eager to get stamping away when my new plates arrived so I waited until my little girl Gracie was in bed and got all my nail things out. I have to say that I did think I was going to get it straight away and I got very frustrated that it wasn't coming out perfect straight away until some other people told me that you just need to practice a few times. I wasn't sure whether I should post the pics as it was a massive fail, but actually it's good for other newbie stampers such as myself to see what my experience has been like. So to start off with I had a little lap tray with all the equipment I needed and covered it with some kitchen roll as I'd heard this can get quite messy. Then I picked out a stamping plate, the one I chose was BM210. Next was to decide which polish I wanted to stamp with, well that wasn't too much of a choice as I wanted to use one of my new Konad Special Polishes and I only had them in black or white, so I chose white. ...

Lacey Bon Bon We Love Nails Mani

Orly Top 2 Bottom, 2 coats Ciate Bon Bon,,  Stamping White Konad, Orly in a Snap Top Coat , with flash.  Puja from Cute Nails has set up a new group called We Love Nails . I will be doing a nail challenge every week on a Tuesday. If you'd like to know more,  click here   to check out the post on Puja's blog, This weeks challenge was to do a french or reverse mani, so I got my stamping plates out! I decided to use one of my new freebie polishes as the base colour and I chose Ciate Bon Bon . She is a beautiful purpleish taupe and sooo pretty! I wont go too much in to detail about this polish now, as I have a review of her coming soon!  As above, no flash. For the stamping I used this absolutely gorgeous design from my Bundle Monster plate BM217 with Konad White. The design is actually flowers, but I think it gives a beautiful lacey effect, don't you? I have to admit, I found it a little difficult lining up the design on t...

ANOTHER Haul? Oooohhhhh Yes!

Image
Yes I know I've already bought an unusually large amount of nail polish in the last couple of months, but I just can't seem to stop. Is it an illness? Do I really need all of these different colours? Well, those questions remain to be seen, but what I can say is that I really want all of them and as I don't smoke, drink or really spend my money on anything else for me, (most of my money is spent on my daughter) I feel like this is one little vice that isn't too bad. Left to right, Castello Blue, Capriccio Blue, Incantato Purple, Romanzo Pink. I'll start with the Borghese . You may be wondering why I've bought four more polishes from this brand when I wasn't too keen on Milano Taupe, but the truth is, I'd already ordered these before I had even tried it! Hmmm, well I hope these ones have a more manageable, softer brush.  Left to right, Pink Opal, Moon Beam, silver Metal, Wild Orchid, Cherry Bomb, Red Passion.  Lets move on to the Hedy...
