Nail Art: Teal & Gold Leaf (Quick, Easy & Simple)

As per I have not been blogging but hoping to get a few posts and reviews lined up.

Thought I would treat you all to a lovely piece of arty farty I did a month or so ago...

Base colour is a dark turquoise from Topshop, then I have stamped over the top in white,  and filled in the gold detail by hand!

Do you like this effect?

Peace & Love, Z

Shany Stamping - Doillies and Glitter

I saw one of my bezzies last night who got me the Shany Cosmetics stamping plates for my birthday so I took them over to do her nails!

We both love the doillies and glitter!
What do you think? X

Spring Nails - Barry M, Shany Cosmetics and Rio

I am in love with this mani and totally inspired which makes me want to take it off and do other cool manis... but I'm enjoying it so much!

What do you think?

Peace and love,

Cutsie design with Barry M Grey, Pink and Shany stamping

So I wanted something with grey and pink ans had this triangle idea im my head.

On the first hand I tried changing stamping pattern as well as the colour but I think this left to much going on.

On the second hand I used the same stamping design twice and it looks much more effective.

I will update soon and let you know which stamping plates I used.

Having trouble with my Blogger recently and can only up date from my phone.

Peace and love,  Pink_PrincessZ xxx

Birthday Mani - Shany Cosmetics Stamping - SH52, SH07

 

So this was a super quick mani I did for my Birthday last Wednesday... It was my 21st if you couldn't tell!

So this was using a Barry M Polish Berry IceCream I got from the girls at work and a Shany Stamping Set from one of my bezzies...

 

I really love the Geometric Design, it's from a brand called Shany, plate SH25 and the numbers come from SH07. Not too sure how I feel about the Numbers as they remind me of an American Football Jersey? But I did really like this mani.

I think that the Geometric shapes would look at lot Better on a Neon Colour so I will be retrying this out at some point, I really like that pattern though! I will do a post about my Birthday goodies soon!  

Peace and Love, Z .\/..

Birthday Mini Haul: Barry M & Shany Stamping

So here is what I got for my 21st Birthday which was last week, I have a quick mani that I am posting on Thursday as well...

From left to right:

Barry M - Mint Green/ Strawberry I/C /Berry I/C

Shany Stamping Nail Art kit SH Image Plates-02

Looking forward to reviewing the Shany Stamping Kit as there's loads of different Patterns, very Impressed with it so far!

And loving my Pastel Barry M's always great for Spring, will be interesting to see how the Strawberry I/c applies as I always find baby pinks a bit flakey so will let you know very soon...

I will post pictures of the Shany Collection over the next couple of weeks x

Peace and Love, Z .\/..

Barry M Silk - Mist Review & Shany Cosmetics SH01 Plate

So my blogger has been playing me up, so the next few posts will be out of sequence.

Anyway this is the Barry M Silk - Mist.

I really like blue's and as far this goes it is beautiful and rich? in a weird sort of way, I'm not sure how a baby blue can be rich, but it is it's Elegant...

 

Essentially it is a Matte Metallic, I don't have many (if any) metallic in my collection so haven't played around using a Matte top coat, but I think this is Worth a Purchase on colour alone.

My only problems with it would be Application, this is the second time painting it, and if I was going out out I would probably have waited to put a third coat on top as it is still a bit patchy in places...

and below is a picture of some me having a quick mess around with Shany cosmetics SH01 plate...

Loving Nails - Stamping with Bundle Monster BM11♡

Going out for my mums Birthday dinner I wanted something fairly sophisticated but cutsie so...

For the sophisticated touch I opted for a Red from No.7 and then choose this really cute design out of my Bundle Monster pack Plate BM11 for 2 accent nails. I then did a Barry M Red Glitter topcoat on the other nails...

I think I have finally got better at stamping Although one or two nails might be a bit dodgey... but I think I was actually pressing the stamping rubber down to hard on the plate so it was squishing the polish out rather than picking it up!

I've been a bit busier recently with various projects non nail related but I am hoping to do more short but sweet posts like this, showing you stamping plates and giving you ideas.

Hope you're well.

Peace and Love Z .\/..

5 Designs for Under a Fiver!

 I love nail art.

And good nail art doesn't have to be complicated or tricky - it can be Messy but that's Half the Fun.

 

 

So I wanted to do 5 Designs that Any Student Could Afford.

The most expensive design out of the 5 costs £3; £2 for 2 varnish colours (I used MUA available at superdrug or Poundland sale nail varnishes), £1 for a stamping plate from Poundland.

 

 

For a Gradient you need a kitchen sponge...

Stamping: A Quick How To Guide

Alot of people ask me how stamping works when they haven't done it before or haven't used a MoYou plate.

You should have a stamping plate, stamper, special polish, scrapper, nail varnish remover, cotton ball and cotton bud with nail varnish remover on; then follow this sequence:

Under the Sea.... Where it's just you and.... Barry M Teal - Review!

Ahhh I love this Teal from Barry M, sort of reminds me of Ariel from Little Mermaid.

 

 

This was after 2 coats, using Konad White Special Polish and my MoYou plate.

 

Stamping Plate Review: MoYou Suki Colletion 01 Nom... Nom... Nom...

The amount of people commenting on my nails this week says it all.

+

This is the MoYou Suki Collection 01 Plate.

 

 

After every mani this week I have tried to stamp different bits of the plate - some more successfully than others due to the cack-handiness of my left hand (don't worry I only did this once!).

 

...

18th August - Sunday Experiments - Lazy Sunday

Hi guys, hope you all had a Great Weekend!

I've been very Uninspired and catching up with family in the lounge (not my normal work station) so Apologies for the lack of Experiments, I have just messed about with some stamping for you guys to see this weekend...

 

I'm going to SW4 next weekend and wanted to come up with something Festivally... No success so far but I've just had a Brain Wave...

No. 2.11: Royal Baby Manicure!

So we are still awaiting the name of the Royal Baby, but we know its a Prince. Congratulations of course to Kate and William!

This was one of my designs for this summer, not sure whether it was on my first set of designs or second but I have changed it slightly.

I used a pale blue MUA colour on my left hand and Barry M dragon fruit on my right (gender hadn't been announced when I started last night, obviously 10 minutes later it was announced a boy!).

For the accent nail I did a 2 coat base of Essie Blanc, using Barry M's Gold instant nail effects (top Picture) for the tip and stamping.

I used a plate BM08 from Bundle Monster, I am not well practiced with stamping, and this crown always gives me difficulty but I got there in the end!

Anyway I hope you like and please comment with links to any of your royal related designs. A gold dummy would have also been great for this!
