Paisley Nail Stamping

Hi There

I was looking through my nail plates and this one caught my eye 

These are the materials I used 

So from left to right Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Brisk Blue, Kleancolor Metallic Aqua, Nails Inc London Blenheim Terrace, Revlon Parfumerie Collection in Moonlit Woods and Bundle Monster Plate BM315

 I painted all my nails with 1 coat of my base coat Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails followed by 2 coats of my base colour Revlon Parfumerie Collection in Moonlit Woods


Next I took image Plate BM315 and my polishes Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Brisk Blue, Kleancolour Metallic Aqua and Nails Inc London in Blenheim Terrace. I placed 1 line of each colour across the paisley pattern and scraped a couple of times so that the colours mixed slightly where they met and the stamped this on all my nails. This is the finished design


I don't know if you can see it but there is a slight gradient in the colours on the paisley print

What do you think

Yorkshire Grand Depart (Tour De France)

Hi There

I should have posted this yesterday but didn't have time. My partner has been nagging me to do this mani as he loves biking and we are both from Yorkshire. As he doesn't usually take an interest in my nails I couldn't say no.

Let's get started

Here are the materials that I used 

From left to right OPI Nail Envy Strengthener, Sinful Colors Let's Meet, Mundo De Unas Yellow (number 11), Sinful Colors Black On Black, Sinful Colors Snow Me White, OPI RapiDry Quick Drying Topcoat, Cisi & Sisi stamping plate 07 and home made Tour De France nail decals.

I started by painting all my nails with my Base Coat OPI Nail Envy Strengthener and then painted my thumb and ring finger with Sinful Colors Snow Me White, I painted my index and little fingers with Sinful Colors Black On Black and I painted my middle finger with Sinful Colors Let's Meet. I used 2 coats of each colour.


I then took nail plate Cici & Sisi 07 and stamped the bike image onto my index finger and little finger using Mundo De Unas Stamping polish in yellow (number11). I also stamped my middle finger using the same image with Sinful Colors Black On Black


Next I took my homemade decals (for information on how I made these please see my previous post named home made water decals which has instructions) and placed them on my ring finger and thumb

Here is the finished design  

 
I have also added a picture of my thumb as you can't see it very well on the image above

 What do you think

Multi Coloured Nails Using Pueen Encore Plate SE02B

Hi There

Today I have been playing with my new Pueen Encore plates again and since my new OPI Sheer Tints have arrived I decided to use these aswell.

So let's get started here are the materials I used

As always from left to right OPI Nail Envy Strengthener base coat, OPI Sheer Tints Be Magentale With Me, OPI Sheer Tints I'm Never Amberrassed, OPI Sheer Tints I Can Teal You Like Me, OPI Sheer Tints Don't Violet Me Down, Sinful Colors Black On Black, Sinful Colors Snow Me White, OPI Rapiddry Topcoat, Rimmel London Matte Finish Topcoat and Pueen Encore Plate SE02B

I know it's a very long list but the design looks good in the end.

I started off with my base coat OPI Nail Envy Strengthener followed by 2 coats of Sinful Colors Snow Me White

I then took my OPI Sheer Tints and I painted stripes all the way up to the tip I started with I'm Never Amberrassed at the base of the nail followed by Be Magentale With Me then Don't Violet Me Down and right at the very tip I Can Teal You Like Me. I did 2 coats of each colour and it ended up looking like this 

I took Pueen Plate SE02B

And used the image of the roses on the left hand side


I stamped this on all my nails over the stripes using Sinful Colors Black On Black and then added a layer of OPI Rapiddry topcoat. I then added a layer of Rimmel London Matte topcoat (I have had this ages and never seem to use it although I do like matte designs so I thought I might as well use it on this design and see what happens). I put OPI Rapiddry topcoat on first as I have added the Rimmel London Matte topcoat straight onto the design before and it totally smudged the design and ruined my mani.

This is the finished design


Unfortunately you can't really tell that the pattern is a rose as the image is too large but I still like the effect

What do you think

Nail Stamping Design using New Pueen Encore Plate Pueen SE03B

Hi There

Yesterday I received my brand new just out Pueen Encore plates. I spent most of the evening swatching and if you would like to see these let me know in the comments below. I have however just done my first manicure using these and I find them to be very high quality and would actually give them 10 out of 10. I love them

So on with the design

Here are the materials that I used

From left to right OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener, OPI Rapidry Quick Drying Top Coat, Sinful Colors Snow Me White, Revlon Parfumerie Collection Fresh Linen, Kleancolor Metallic Green, Kleancolor Metallic Aqua, Kleancolor Metallic Purple and stamping plate Pueen SE03B

I started with my base coat OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener followed by 1 coat of Sinful Colors Snow Me White

I painted my nails white as the colour I was using as my base colour wasn't very opaque. I then covered the white base with 3 coats of Revlon Parfumerie Collection in Fresh Linen which is a creamy colour rather than white.

I put on a top coat here in case I messed up the stamping it means that if I do mess up I can take off the design and only the top coat is removed instead of the nail colour. It also means I don't have to start the nail all over again from scratch.

I then took plate Pueen SE03B (there are a total of 4 plates but each one is double sided so in reality you have 8 image plates). This is my favorite plate.

I decided to do a rainbow effect design so I took my Kleancolor polishes in Metallic Green, Metallic Aqua and Metallic Purple and put a line of each colour over the part of the image that I wanted to stamp on my nails


I then scraped off the excess polish


This is what the design looked like on the stamper. You will notice that the green tends to stain your stamper but this comes off as you use it so don't worry.

I then stamped this design on all my nails 

This is the finished design after clean up and with top coat. The top coat I used is OPI Rapidry Quick Drying Topcoat



 What do you think. I love this design and I would highly recommend these plates

Birds Flying High

Hi There

I was playing about with some polishes and these colours together reminded me of the night sky just as the sun is going down so you can still see the the blue but there is a hint of purple underneath. I then added some birds(well how could you not)

These are the materials I used

From left to right Sally Hansen HD polish in Blu, Barry M Gelly High Shine polish in Blueberry, Sinful Colors Black on Black, Revlon Parfumerie Collection in Moonlit Woods and stamping plate JR13

I started with my base coat Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails and followed that with my gradient colours Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Polish in Blueberry at the top, Sally Hansen HD polish in Blu in the middle and Revlon Parfumerie Collection in Moonlit Woods at the bottom ( I usually put a white base coat underneath a gradient but I couldn't be bothered waiting for the white to dry). Here is the completed gradient


I then took image plate JR13 and stamped on my ring finger the image of birds flying (bottom right of the plate) using Sinful Colors Black on Black



I stamped all my other nails including my thumb nail with this image using Sinful Cololrs Black on Black and the same image plate JR13



This is the finished design


i
I like this design and I like how the gradient turned out

Multi Coloured Flowers

Hi There

I did a gradient butterfly manicure recently but you couldn't see the gradient very well so if at first you don't succeed try again so here we go

The materials I used are 

From left to right Revlon Parfumerie Collection in Pink Pineapple, Sally Hansen Insta Dri in Teal-y Fast, Sally Hansen Insta Dri in Ruby Rush, Sally Hansen Insta Dri in Purple Bolt and Image Plate 05 by Cici & Sisi.

I started with my base coat Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Strengthener, followed by 2 coats of my base colour Revlon's Parfumerie Collection in Pink Pineapple.

I then took my image plate 05 by Cici & Sisi. I put 1 line of each colour over the flower image Ruby Rush first then Purple Bot and at the end Teal-y Fast like so

I then scraped the excess off horizontally to get a slight blend of all the colours and then stamped the design onto all of my nails.

This is the finished design


I love this design I think I got it pretty spot on this time

What do you think

Lead Light First Attempt

Hi There

Everybody seems mad about the new Lead Light Technique at the moment so I had to have a go.

These are the materials that I used

So from left to right Nails Inc Chelsea, Barry M Aquarium Collection in Mediterranean, Barry M Aquarium Collection in Caspian, Barry M Aquarium Collection in Arabian, Barry M Aquarium Collection in Pacific, Nails Inc Mayfair, Barry M Neon Yellow and Cheeky Plate CH12.

First I painted my nails with my base coat Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails. I then painted all my nails with Nails Inc Mayfair, you could use white but I preferred this shimmery cream coloured polish


I then took Cheeky Plate CH12 and my Nails Inc Chelsea polish and stamped the flower image on all my nails. The polish looks black in the picture but it is actually a dark purple


I then took a dotting tool and my Barry M Aquarium Collection polishes in Mediterranean, Caspian, Arabian and Pacific and coloured in the flowers. I added a few dots of Barry M's Neon yellow to add a bit of summer

This is the finished design


What do you think
