Stripes and Drips

First of all I want to say sorry for not posting for such a long time. School had me working from morning to evening and on top of that a few of my nails tore and I had to file them all down :( Now they look ugly and stubby and I wasn't really motivated to do anything with them.
Here I have the last nail art with "long" nails; Stripes with red drips.





I drew the drips and stripes on with a tiny brush and then put a few highlights onto the drips to make them look more plastic. Sorry for the bad lighting but it's getting dark so early here it's almost impossible to get a decent photo.

Betsey Johnson -esque Polkadots and Roses

Hello!
Today I have a Betsey Johnson inspired polkadot and rose mani to show you. I used a dotting tool and a small pin to create the roses and the base colour is the same as in the teal and gold post. I think it looks really cute but my topcoat sadly smeared the design a little.

Essence Twilight LE - Jacob's Protection

Hello! Today I have a swatch of one of Essence's Twilight limited edition polishes; Jacob's Protection. Whereas I am no where near a Twilight fan, this nail polish really appealed to me in the bottle. The application was easy with a smooth formula and I was not at all disappointed by the finish. The little blue flakies in the black base look really nice in direct light. The other polishes did not appeal to me but this one is great! You should definitely take a look at it.

Barry M Jewel Britannia mattified

Hello!
This time I have Barry M's Jewel Britannia over OPI's My Boyfriend Scales Walls with a matte topcoat to show you. Jewel Britannia has red, blue and silver glitter with holo particles in it. Despite it being a polish released for the Queen's jubilee, the colours also go well with the American presidential election.







I have to admit, I'm a little obsessed with mattified glitter at the moment :)

Teal and gold glitter

Hello!
This is a manicure I did a while ago with the glitter polish from Essence's Snow White limited edition. It's called "The Huntsman" and has lots of different sized gold glitter and a few flakies in it. Many people seem to have disliked the flakies in it but I actually quite like them!





Sadly the glitter topcoat changed the colour underneath into a more greenish tone but it reminds me of the sea somehow. On the second picture you can see the flakies very nicely.

Polkadot Halfmoons

Hello my 2 readers! I'm so happy that I'm not only talking to a vacuum anymore :)
Here I did a black and white polkadot halfmoon mani with pink lining and a pink bow. I stamped the bow but because the colour was far too faint I had to paint over it which led to this messy result. Despite the faults I still liked this mani a lot! On top I added a mini rhinestone.

OPI James Bond Living Daylights gradient

Hello!
Today I have one of OPI's Skyfall polishes to show you. It's "Living Daylights" which is a very unique glitter polish in my opinion. It has lots of even sized glitter hexograms in teal, salmon, silver and gold. I think it looks best with muted colours ans especially with a matte topcoat. I mattified this manicure after a few hours but forgot to take pictures.

Hearts, Drips and Crosses

Hello!
I dedicided I might as well post another picture from a few days ago since my folder of nail pictures has already got quite a lot in it. Here I tried to do some skittle nails with different patterns on every nail including a little black heartshaped rhinestone on my pinky.
I dabbed different colours onto my middle and pointer finger and coated them with China Glaze's Make a Spectacle. I absolutely love the effect it gives! It was the only polish from their halloween collection that caught my eye and it was definitely worth buying. On my thumb (which you can't properly see) I used my new W7 Salt&Pepper polish.
