Pink Wednesday revamp

 I meant to add this last week, this started of as my "Pink Wednesday" which i found out about while reading a blog id came acrosds called "Let Them Have Polish" I kept it pink until the Friday, and as i was going to a Charity thing in honer of my uncle Tom who passed away from Cancer, i wanted to keep them pink as the charitys cololurs are of course pink, but i also wanted to Jazz them up, because im know for having different designs on my nails, so for me to trun up with then just painted pink would of disapointed some people lol, so here was the finished result.

I used:

Rimmel Lycra Pro -  Urban Princess

Rimmel Lycra Pro - Peppermint

Rimmel 60 Seconds - Grey Matters

BarryM - Matt White

 

OPI Mini

 I dont own any OPI, well ok thats not true, i have 1 bottle that my neighbour gave me when i mentioned id like to try it, but i cant get the lid of because she had it so long its stuck lol, so i never got to use it, i thought id look in Ebay for a cheap bottle...pffftttt no bloody chance, UNTIL what for it, i found one yeahhhhhh i bidded on it for £0.50 and i won it, i checked the mailbox everyday in excitement for my own bottle of OPI, then it came, i took my time to open the package, making me more excited until i got it open and found this below, it was a MINI and its tiny, i wouldnt even think id get my nails done once with it lol........she didnt list it as a Mini, but i guess next time il be more careful and read the full listing next time.

what happens when i get bored

 I decided i was bored with my nails as they where so topped them, and now i dont like themas much as i did with the GOSH rainbow all over....i might add more to the ends and cover up my dreadful mistake, see this is what happens when i get bored lol

 I was cleaning out a draw in my bed room, when i found a old dusty bottle of GOSH Rainbow, i knew i had it but i didn't know where so id been bidding on one of EBay and i didn't win. it went for £26.00 which i was surprised at, but hey is someone wants to pay that much for polish who am i to rock their boat.......anyway when i found i got a little bit more excited then may i should of lol.....

Sorry the photo is rubbish when i took a picture with the flash it didn't show the effect...so i had to take it by the window in the natural light.

And just to add, its defiantly better over darker colour.

Rimmels Newest additions.

 I went food shopping today in my local store called "TESCO" they have a Rimmel counter, with a very small amount of nail polish and make-up but i have all the colours they sell i always look when i go shopping just on the off chance they have new colours and oh wow they had new shades and i had to have the them, but due to them not adding new stuff i bought 2 of each so i have it in case they don't get it back in.

Bourjois - So laque! Ultra Shine in "Rose Lounge 28"

This is the brand and colour that Kate Middleton wore on her Wedding day to Prince William.

Bourjois - So laque! Ultra Shine in "Rose Lounge 28" Its a really sheer looking pink, 1st coat didn't do anything, it was like id just put a base coat on, 2nd coat still was to sheer for me, so 3rd and finally 4th coat i got the cover i wanted,  then of course when i was doing well i smudged 2 nails and they were so bad i had to start them all over again .........i then added some nail art sticker id bought of ebay and ive been dying to add them since i got them......i was happy with the way they turned out, but after a couple of hours the edge of one of the stickers started to curl up even though i have 2 coats of SV on....wow thats 6 coats of polish lol and even after all that i think they look streaky *Big sigh*

Any way my opinion on Bourjois polish is 4 out of 10,  not worth the £5.99 i paid for it, and i doubt il use it again so what a waste, guess il add it to my swap list when i make one.

Pink Wednesday

Pink Polish Wednesday, im wearing. Rimmel 291 Urban Princess

I took of my nail polish the other night after id added a matt polish to change the look, iy made my paint peel off, so after taking it off it stained my nails so bad, my nails or horrid when bare and i never go naked lol but i still wanted to get the staining of, but i just couldn't shift it, i dont understand why it stained because i always wear that shade because its my favourite so why now?...i didn't do anything different then i normally do, I used a base coat and 2 layers of Rimmel 825 Sky High and a top coat, only reason i can think of is i was careful and didn't chip it and managed to get 2 weeks out of it before it looked tatty, so maybe the longer you leave it on the more it has a chance to stain?

Seche Vite

 I got my Seche Vite today, first thing i thought was "wow that's a big bottle" second thought was "hm smells very chemically" third thought was "why the hell didn't i buy it sooner".....i am pleased with it, normally i wait an hour before i do anything after adding a top coat, but this was rock hard dry in less then 10 mins.

Kriss Cross...polka dots

 I think out of all the things ive done on my nails this is my fav, for now anyway lol.....

Bedazzled

I was in a hurry one day and my nails where bare...eeekkkkk, they are all stained from dark polish and i didnt want to g out with them like that, so i quickly tipped them with just a V shape in a simple purple, the next day i looked at them and though how boring do they look, so i added some design to them and lurvvvved it, my step daughter was wowed by it and i di hers in red and black...

Twisted Polka-Dot.

My boyfriends neice wanted something pink and girly, so i had a hunt about for desgns that met her requirments lol.....i came across this polka dot tutorial and as always i try them out on my own nails first so i know i can do it....but i made a mistake by putting a clear top coat on too soon and it kinda run my pink dots if id taken my time it would of turned out much better.......but atlaste i learned this before doing Clairs nails.

 

 

Cute Strawberry Nails

 This was so much fun to do, a friend had posted the you tube vid on her facebook page saying how she wished she could do it .....so i did it on my nails for her lol, i cant remember what i used sorry but any red and green will do just as good, ive also added the you tube for you

 

 

Zebra

After i seen a tutorial on you tube for something like this design, i cant remember where it was or th name or id post the video for you anywhooooo i checked out my nail polish to see if i hadn't any white,  i only have French manicure white, so i popped in to town and picked up a BarryM Matt White and Black.....and i think it came out cool.....i certainly got some admiring glances when i was out.

True Blood

 Im a huge True Blood fan, so this was inspired from the program, not that anyone had it, but oh man was i pleased with how it looked, i used Rimmels I ♥ Lasting Finish: Double Decker Red 030 and Black Cherries 0
