Weekend Nails - Week 5 - Give A Little Love ♔

Hiii Guyss, I've been a bad blogger this past week no mid-week mani & only one post in the week & no weekend nails untill today = A Very Bad Blogger!


Photobucket


I plan to make it up to you though! With some new updated storages & collections in the week & my oh so cute weekend nails. They're all lovey-dovey in the spirit of Valentines Day, which is partly why there was no post yesterday as I was celebrating early with Josh. But I'm back & here's what I used....


Photobucket


The pink polish is my newest addition to my collection i will be showing my updated collection in a later post, but I LOVE the colour it's so bright & fresh & I love the contrast with the deep red....


Photobucket


Aren't they adorable!!!


These were pretty simple for a begginer like me but very fitting for the time of year. They aren't the neatest hearts but I'm just getting used to using my brushes & paint's. I can't wait to try out different patterns!


How do your nails look this weekend? & Happy Valentines Day!

Weekend Nails - Week 4 - Flakie Fun ♔

I am literally obsessed with my Essie polish, Shine Of The times!


Photobucket


I've painted my nails 3 times this weekend the first you saw in the last post Love At First Shine. I tried Shine of the times on over all three of the Rimmel polish's & it looked great on all three....


Photobucket


I really liked the middle colour Dream it's a greyish lilac It will definatly be getting used alot in the summer months but int the end this is what I chose......


Photobucket


I painted most of my nails in 'Angel' & my ring finger in 'Wish'. I had this on all they day but then I started wondering what would it look like over black? So my curiosity got the better of me & here is the polish over black....


Photobucket
In some lights it takes on a reddish/orange colour and in others it has a greenish tinge...
Photobucket
It is so pretty!


Photobucket


This looks so cool! This may be my favouritest ever polish ever in the world ever! (or at least untill my Nfu-Oh 51 turns up if it ever does I've been waiting 3weeks!)


Anyways here are all the polish's I used in this post.....


Photobucket


Frome left to right Revlon 'Lunar', Seche Vite Topcoat, Rimmel 'Angel', Rimmel 'Dream', Rimmel 'Wish', Essie 'Shine Of The Times'......I know loads right!


So how did you do your nails this weekened?

Mid-week Mani ♔ Week 4....

As these post's are mainly for me I'll keep them short & sweet so here's week 4 Natural Nail Midweek Mani.....


Photobucket


Theres been a few breakages meaning some have had to be filed down completely but hopefully not for much longer. I've been using this on my nails as both a base and a strengthener.....


Photobucket


I'm not sure if it working at the moment as the tips are still weak but time will tell. Any way heres this weeks scores.....


Strength - 1 - It's a waiting game untill the tips grow out (& waiting & waiting.....)


Length - 1 - They grow but break so i just keep filing them down untill they're strong enough


Colour - 4 -  I still haven't quite mastered the art of not painting to my nail bed which is leaving me with a little polish around the edges but otherwise they are a pretty good colour

Mini Polish Haul ♔.....

Well yes I know It's meant to be Midweek Mani Day but I've decided that thursday might aswell be Midweek Mani day as they have been for the past 2 weeks plus I just really wanted to show you my goodies I've got today.....


As you all know in my previous post I showed my updated storage & today I've acquired  4 more pretty polish's....


Photobucket



2 Revlon Polish's in Lunar & Sweet Tart & 2 Barry M polish's in Vivid Purple & Black (you can never have too many black polishs). Here are some quick swatches of the colours ignore the messy application I just wanted to try them out...



Photobucket



Revlon 'Sweet Tart' - It's pink I have loads of reds & pinks & it's sort of like my Rimmel Londons 'Strawberry Fizz' only not scented but something about it caught my eye, the brush in this seem rather thin but it works well, it does need 3 coats to become opaque but dry's pretty quickly & looks really cute on I may wear this at the weekend.


Revlon 'Lunar' - I love black nail polish, if I'm ever stuck on picking a colour I always go to black it's just so versatile & like the staple little black dress it can be dressed up or down depending on my mood. Revlon's 'Lunar' is a deep glossy black with a slightly grey/green tinge in the bottle but  amazing it was completely opaque in 1 coat although I always do 2 for good measure it was so glossy & shiny this will definatly be a favourite.


Barry M 'Black' - Another black polish this is not as opaque as the Revlon polish but after 2 coats it's glossy & completely opaque, Although you can't tell in the picture the black is not as deep as the Revlon black but still looks great


Barry M 'Vivid Purple' - A very pretty purple, A very deep pretty purple. Purple (I know how many times can I say purple in one paragraph?) But purple is one of my favourite colours along with Turquoise. My bedroom is also purple & so is this polish It's a very close dupe to my Avon Decadence but I find it a much better consistency. it is completely opaque in one coat but is shown above with 2 coats. It has a sort of metallic shimmer to it & looks amazing under lights & daylight. Another weekend maybe.


So this weekends nails are between Barry M 'Vivid Purple' & Revlon 'Sweet Tart' which do you prefer?
