Andrea Fulerton Nail Boutique- Nail Tattoos Skull and Cross Bones

Hello All

Since my Andrea Fulerton pics have been generating a lot of interest, I thought I would show you some pics of Andrea Fulerton's Skull and Cross Bones Nail Tattoos. I used this in my mani ages ago but never got round to posting.








I used Color Club Revvvolution as a base and used one of the Nail Tattoos on my index finger. The pics of Revvvolution do not do it any justice because it was indoors, so I will probably swatch this one again for you. The nail tattoo looked great on and removed easily with polish remover.

Purchased from Superdrugs for £1.99

Enjoy

A little Gem

Hello Again

After that moany post, I thought well we all need a little sparkle. Here I have Nubar - Gem, a sparkly purple/brownish duochrome polish with holographic glitter from their Prism Collection. It's a beautiful polish and interesting colour. A bit textured as the glitter is quite chunky. This is 3 coats. Formula was good considering the glitter.









Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone!

Not just another Green - Nubar Reclaim

Hi ya

Well half of the week done! Not like I'm wishing my life away, but the weekends are so appealing. Today I have for you another holo, not just any holo a green holo - Nubar Reclaim. Youv'e probably see it a bajillion times, so one more pic won't hurt.  Green is my fav, so a green holo is going to be top in my books. Wonder if Nubar will bring anymore holos out? Their Prism collection is pretty, but not like Reclaim.









Only needed two coats, dried completely smooth! If only all polishes applied so beautifully.

Just a note to any readers, as you can see my nails are not natural. It's not because I'm lazy or uneducated about the perils of acrylics, I know exactly the damage acrylics can do to the nail. Unfortunately I have to wear latex gloves for work, which not only damages my cuticles and dries them out, it makes my nails break at a very short length. *Sigh* I can think of no worse fate then not being able to grow even nubbins, so hence why I have acrylics. I've tried sooo many nail strengtheners but none seem to protect my nails from the damage the gloves do. If anyone has any tips or solutions, I would be grateful for any advice. Until then plastic talons it is.

Until Next time, toodles.

Tag Team Mani - Milani Hi-Res + Color Club Wild At Heart

It's a beautiful day here again in sunny London. You know what that means folks, holo swatches!! I do love holos (who doesn't right). I don't own many of them at all, but I've got a couple of lovelies to show you here. Milani 3D Holographic Polish Hi-Res and Color Club Wild at Heart.

Both purple holos. Hi-Res is a light lilac holo while Wild at Heart is a deeper darker purple, with a more linear effect holo. Both really amazing, both super FAB.






Both applied like a dream and dried super quick. Hi-Res required 2 coats while Wild At Heart was much more saturated and only needed 1.



Twinkle Twinkle







I purchased Wild At Heart from ebay for only a couple of quid, Milani I purchased from Beauty Joint who also stock Kleancolor Nail Polish (Got me self some chunky holos :-) ) and deliver Internationally. 


OH ok just one more beautiful pic!!



Enjoy peeps

China Glaze - He's Going in Circles

Hello Everyone.

Well today I'm enjoying the sunshine and relaxing. I love my Sundays. To celebrate the fact it's a wonderful day. I have for you China Glaze - He's Going in Circles from the Kaleidoscope Collection. It's described as a sea foam green scattered holo. Its the only one from this collection which I own. I only own one holo from the OMG collection (proper newbie). I stumbled across it in the little nail shop down the high road. I paid £3 for it (can you believe that!). I swear that little nail shop is amazing, it's like Aladdin's cave. I find something wonderful every time I visit.








It's a beautiful polish. So smooth and dries super quick. I love it. I then used Bundle Monster's BM-221 stamping plate with a Rimmel Black 60 seconds nail polish. This polish had gone a little thick which helped it stamp better onto the nail.








Sooo sparkly! Hopefully I'll find some more of these little babies and build up my holo collection. Hope your all having a wonderful weekend. AND a BIG hello to my first followers!

Ever found polish beauties randomly?

Leopard Print Mani

Hey folks,

Today I have for you my attempt at the 'The Leopard Manicure'. Seeing as China Glaze has helpfully put a video guide on how to complete the look on their site (See Here), I thought I would give it a bash.







Now, as you can see from the wonderful execution (lol) it was a bit fiddly. For me this was a 'Monet' style of mani. From afar, this looked absolutely fab on my nails. Up close it just looked like a load of blobs not done very well. My mates were impressed at it, so I guess that's all that matters :-)

Products Used

Base - Color Club's - Love 'Em, Leave 'Em
Blobs - Beauty UK Nail Polish - Golden Chestnut
Squiggles - Models Own Nail Art Pen
Topcoat - Nubar Diamont

What do you think of the 'Leopard Look'?
