My Nail Art: Frankenstein Inspired Nails

Hi Hi! 😀

What you need:

Basecoat

Topcoat

Black nail polish

2greens nail polishes or a slightly yellowy green nail polish

Silver nail polish

Matte Topcoat

Nail Art tools

What to do:

First step is the basecoat. I used two coats of Barry Ms Basecoat, Topcoat and Nail Hardener.

Wait to dry!

Apply the black nail polish. I used Seventeen Gel Colour Black Cat.

Wait to dry!

I then painted the middle of the nail all the way to the tip leaving a black outline using a yellow nail polish but you can use a slightly yellowy green or a regular green nail polish. I used Etude House Juice Recipe in Banana (https://theheartofnails.wordpress.com/2017/09/26/etude-house-juice-recipe-nail-polish-banana) I applied two coats.  

Wait to dry!

I used a nail art tool and a green nail polish to make the stitching. I used Etude House Handmade Jam in Green Tea.(https://theheartofnails.wordpress.com/2016/11/22/etude-house-handmade-jam-nail-polish-review-green-tea) At this stage I also tidied up the black outline around the nail while waiting for it to dry then I applied the silver on top of the green stitching. I used Rita Ora’s Rimmel Pedal to the Metal.

Last step is the Matte top coat. I used Barry Ms Matte Topcoat,

Done!! 😀

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 😀 😀

My Nail Art: Metallic Diwali

Hi Hi! 😀

Diwali is on its way this week and so I decided to do another manicure for it but I decided to go a slightly different way.

What you need:

Basecoat

Topcoat

Silver colour nail polish

Gold colour nail polish

Dotting tool/toothpicks/Nail art pen

 

First step is the basecoat. I am using Barry Ms Basecoat, Topcoat and Nail Hardener. I used two coats.

Wait to dry!

Next paint your nails alternating between your gold and silver nail polishes.  I am using Seventeen Quicker Slicker Fury. Click the link to see review-https://theheartofnails.wordpress.com/2017/10/10/seventeen-quicker-slicker-nail-polish-fury-review and Rita Ora’s Rimmel Pedal to the Metal.

Wait to dry!

Next make the candle holder. Using the brush that comes with your nail polish just swipe an angle halfway down your nail from the left to the bottom right corner and then halfway down again from the right to the bottom left corner. If you get confused see photo. Also remember to use the gold on the silver and silver on the gold nail polish.

The last bit is to add the flame and you can use whatever nail art tool that works best to make a tear drop shape. You can then add a top coat if you wish I chose to keep it the way it looked.

A message to anyone celebrating HAPPY DIWALI AND A  VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! 😀

My Nail Art: Dragon Eyes

Hi Hi! 😀

Well I just realised never did a dragon manicure so here it is. (Sleeping dragon not included ;0))

What you need:

Topcoat

Basecoat

Green glitter nail polish

Dark pink (matte) nail polish

Green nail polish(yes another one)

Orange nail polish

Red nail polish

Black nail polish

White nail polish

Nail art brush/dotting tools

 

First step apply 2coats of your basecoat. I am using Barry Ms Super Mani 7 in 1 Nail Treatment.

Next using your dark pink nail polish and your glitter green nail polish paint alternate nails. I chose to have the pointer and the ring finger as the green ones. I used China Glaze Flying Dragon please click link for review-https://theheartofnails.wordpress.com/2017/05/30/china-glaze-nail-polish-review-flying-dragon and Seventeen Colour Carnival Green Gold Shimmer. Please click link for review- https://theheartofnails.wordpress.com/2016/09/13/seventeen-colour-carnival-nail-polish-review-green-gold-shimmer

Wait to dry!!

Thumb of Fire ;op

Obviously with a dragon you got to have some fire so for the thumb I have done this mix of orange red. I have used Rita Ora’s Rimmel 60secs Super Shine Tangerine Tent please click link for review-https://theheartofnails.wordpress.com/2015/04/07/rimmel-60-seconds-super-shine-by-rita-ora-nail-polish-tangerine-tent-review and I used Etude House Berry Delicious Strawberrry Souffle Strawberry Jam https://theheartofnails.wordpress.com/2016/10/04/etude-house-nail-polish-review-berry-delicious-strawberry-souffle-strawberry-jam-8. The best way for me to create the fire effect was to wipe of the nail polish on the side of the bottle as much as possible and just randomly dab the two colours. You could also use a makeup sponge and dap the nail polish that way if you prefer.

The pointer and ring finger dragon scales. I used a green nail polish and randomly splotched it on the nails to create a slight two tone effect of the scales. I used Seventeen Colour Carnival Emerald Green please click the link for the review-https://theheartofnails.wordpress.com/2016/05/31/colour-carnival-by-seventeen-review-emerald-green

The last two nails are the dragon eyes. I first used the red nail polish and a nail art brush and tried to create some blood vessels in the eyes.

Wait to dry!

Using a nail art brush outline the shape of an almond for the pupil of the eye. Then fill in with a black nail polish. Lastly add a large white dot and a little dot slightly away from the first for a reflection and you are done :D:D

Apply your top coat and you have your dragon inspired manicure :D:D:D

Rita Ora’s Rimmel 60secs Super Shine Nail Polish Review Neon Fest

Hi Hi! 😀

I have enjoyed using Rita Ora’s previous nail polish from Rimmel and decided to try this one.

First Look

The nail polish bottle is round and clear and has a black lid with white flowers and Rita Ora’s name. The nail polish is cream and a bright pink.

The Nail Polish I tried

I tried Neon Fest 8ml

 

 

 

My Experience

I applied this nail polish and it was really nice. The thickness wasn’t too much and the thick brush made it easy to get the whole nail painted in three swipes. The nail polish was opaque in one coat and didn’t take too long to dry.

My Thoughts

I really like this nail polish. The colour is very pretty and works well for any time but especially summer time. Quick drying time and opaque in one coat makes applying this nail polish extremely quick and pleasant.

Overall

I give this nail polish 10/10. £2.99 price, quick drying time and quick to apply. What more could you want 😀

Nails of the Day: Inspired by Stay Glamrs- Split Swirl

Hi Hi! 😀 

I remember someone leaving me a comment about their nail art and I said I would give it a go. I was inspired by Asmi whose blog is Stay Glamrs.

Please click the link to get to her page and be inspired by the same nail art or read any of her other posts she has up, you won’t regret it 😀 https://stayglamrs.wordpress.com/2016/04/23/water-marble-nail-art-without-water/

I thought I would give it my own name -Split Swirl 😛

I decided on an orange and black colour combination. I used Rita Ora’s Rimmel Tangerine Tent Please click link for review :https://theheartofnails.wordpress.com/2015/04/07/rimmel-60-seconds-super-shine-by-rita-ora-nail-polish-tangerine-tent-review

and Rimmel 60secs Black Out. I then applied a glitter polish Selena Gomez’s Nicole by Opi Inner Sparkle. Please click link for review:https://theheartofnails.wordpress.com/2016/02/16/nicole-by-opi-selena-gomez-nail-polish-inner-sparkle-review

I had to be careful with lighting as the glitter was showing up  so it’s a bit dark :0( 

I like the way it turned out its almost like a Halloween night out type of look 😀
