NOTD: Romantic Blues Smoosh

So my last mani was a bit of a nail fail, and today I've got a camera fail! Here's hoping I won't have either problem with my next mani...

I promise you in person the stamping really stands out, but no matter what I did when taking a picture this was the best I could get. Although it does look slightly better in my macro shot which will be posted on my Instagram, but still not brilliant!

Anyway... To begin as always I applied a base coat to all my nails. Then I painted on 1 coat of China Glaze Change Your Altitude.

For the smoosh for #smooshynailsunday these were the colours chosen by Doris. I wasn't sure about how they would look together at first, but once I put them together I was just in love! As you can see for the smoosh I randomly dotted China Glaze Change Your Altitude, Sally Hansen Coat Of Arms and Ciate Birthday Blue onto my stamper. I had liquid latex around my nail (forgot to take a picture of that), and I pressed the stamper onto my nail several times until I was happy with the coverage, then carefully peeled away the liquid latex.

Again I was clearly having a bad camera day today because after doing the smoosh I painted Ciate Birthday Blue onto my thumb and ring finger, but I forgot to take a picture! Once dry I stamped this heart pattern from Uber Chic Beauty plate Love & Marriage-02 using Sally Hansen Coat Of Arms along with my new MoYou London crystal clear stamper which picks up beautifully. You can see the stamping a bit better in this picture, but again still not great compared to how it actually looks!

To finish my mani I applied a top coat of Seche Vite to all nails.

NOTD: Mariposa Love

Out of all the nail polishes I have I think this has got to be one of my favourites ever! It is so beautiful that I almost didn't want to stamp over it, so I stamped these simple open hearts to still show off the polish <3

First as always I applied a base coat to all my nails. Then I painted 2 coats of Luna Loves Lacquer Mariposa again on all nails.

On my thumb, middle and ringer finger I stamped this heart pattern from Uber Chic Beauty plate Love & Marriage-02 using MoYou London Black Knight.

Then to complete the mani I applied a top coat of Seche Vite to all nails.

NOTD: Love Chain

I ordered some more Twinkled T vinyls and they got here yesterday, so here is another mani using them because I just couldn't help myself! :)

To start I firstly applied my base coat as always. Then on all nails I painted 2 coats of Barry M Rose Hip. It feels very weird only listing one polish here, I can't remember the last time I started off with just one colour!!

I used the Twinkled T Love Chain vinyls on my thumb, index, middle and little finger. I placed them randomly then painted over with Barry M Dragon Fruit before carefully peeling away the vinyls.

I then used a Twinkled T Sketched Heart vinyl on my ring finger. Again I applied the vinyl and painted over the heart using Barry M Dragon Fruit.

I finished off the mani by applying a top coat of Seche Vite :)

Pink & Gold, Dots & Hearts :)

I like manicures where each nail has a different design on it, but because of the colours matching together it looks really good together so I thought I would do one. although there are 2 nails that are the same!

So I started off by applying my base coat, I use Barry M's All in one Basecoat, Topcoat and Nail Hardener. I then applied Barry M's Pink Flamingo to my thumb, middle and little finger, and applied Barry M's Matt White to my index and ring finger (next time I don't think I will need to apply the white, I was going to do something different to what I ended up doing).

On my thumb I used Konad's white polish and I used this really nice heart design on the Bundle Monster plate BM-317 (this is from the latest 2012 Bundle Monster collection). I smudged the design a bit when I put my top coat on :(

For my little finger I then used again Konad's white polish and this time used a copy of a Konad plate which I ordered from here (last time I posted this link the plates cost £1.35 each, but they now cost £1.41 each). I used the nice heart and lines pattern and then where the 2 sparkles are in the pattern I used a dotting tool to place some of W7's gold dazzle polish.

For my middle finger I used the same Konad white polish and used Cheeky plate CH6 (this is from their Vibrant collection). Then on my index and ring finger where the white polish was I applied 2 coats of W7's gold dazzle. As you can see the white polish is not visible, at 1st I was going to do 1 coat of the gold dazzle so you could still see the white polish, but the gold glitter looked so nice that I didn't do this. So next time I would simply just apply my base coat without applying any white polish first.

And here is the finished manicure with my China Glaze fast forward topcoat, I really like this one and I hope you do too :)
