Purple Dots!

I have never been a huge fan of the colour purple, but yet I have a gazillion bottles of different shades.
I thought I would have a play and see if I could come up with a cool psychedelic pattern.

Base Colour: Rimmel - Marshmallow Heaven 

Dark Purple: BYS - Reign Supreme 

Magenta: BC&Co. - Shade 6

Light Purple: Savvy - Grapetini

I started with a base colour and used a different size dotting tools to dot random colours.

I picked a starting point on each nail and made that the 'base', the dots in that area were more condensed and then moved out from that point. The further a way the dots got, the less and far between I placed them. Sort of giving an ombre effect.

What do you think??

Guest Hands... My cousin Natasha!

I am extremely lucky to have a massive family and some of the GREATEST cousins a girl could ask for. When I first started this blog I didn't have any followers, and without a second thought my cousins stepped up and supported me. And have ever since.
So when one of my cousins Natasha sent me a text last week asking me to do her nails I did not hesitate to say 'YES!'.

She had a party to go to on Saturday night and wanted some fancy nail art to go with her outfit.

So I lugged all my stuff to her house and after looking at her super cute outfit I came up with this...

She had bought this beautiful multicoloured aztec inspired skirt so I took the colours from it and came up with this design. I didn't want to go too aztec-y (if that is even a word) so she could wear the nails for a few days. So I picked a base colour, the green, and did 2 feature nails.

 

On her middle, pointer and pinky fingers I used Kiko - Shade 389 once  it was dry I topped with Rimmel - Matte Finish. 

On her ring and thumb finger I started with  a base colour, Kiko - 359 and once it had dried I sponged on the two other colours; Savvy - Grapetini and Kiki - Shade 389. 

Once the colours had dried I used striping tape to create the 

anztec-y design and painted over it with a the black, Sally Hanson Xtreme Wear - Black Out.

I think that they came out great ESPECIALLY on Tasha's beautiful tanned skin (damn her)... and she got lots of complements that nights, which is the most important part.

I hope you like?

Just a quick one...

Just a quick one today. 

For this I got to use some of my favourite purple shades.

I started off with a light purple base. This time I used Savvy - Grapefruit. 
Once it was dry I used sticky-tape to create a 'v' shape and painted on my darker purple, BYS - Reign Supreme. 
Once THAT layer was completely dry I made the same 'v' shape with some more sticky-tape and brushed on Cate Ruby - Metal Mix. 

Check out some of Cate Ruby's nail polish... love the stuff! 

Enjoy!! xx

SALE ALERT!!

Now, if there is one thing my mother has always taught me, it was always take advantage of a good sale. And today I have found one!! Just browsing around Priceline (looking for some pressed powder) I came across a bargain bin. Normally when I see a bargain bin my expectations are extremely low. But in this case I was sooo wrong. They had a HUGE selection of Savvy nail polish for less then $3 each.
Now I have never used Savvy nail polish before so I am extremely excited to have a go at these new colours...

From left to right: Grapetini, Tequila Sunrise and Cosmopolitan. 

So everyone needs to get there butts down to Priceline and stock up!!
