I’ve been binging on Orange is the New Black this weekend (thank you, Netflix!) so today’s nail art had to be Orange! I did the marble effect using cling film and it’s my most successful attempt yet. In the past, my attempts have been a little too marbled but the detail is nice and clear this time around.
The colours I used are Sally Hansen Tahitian Sunset, piCture pOlish Totes, NYC Rooftop Party Berry and Nicole by OPI Yoga-Then-Yogurt.
The details are all DIY Nails water decals. The Drippy Letters are from Creepy and the Parental Advisory stamp is from Love/Hate.

This month’s mission is to use at least 3 untried polishes from our stash. I’m pretty good at using polishes soon after I buy them because I tend to purchase in small bundles of 3-4 polishes and get very excited to use them. I did find a few stragglers that were perfect for a mint themed waterfall manicure. It’s been a while since I dedicated a whole hand to the waterfall and I really love the colour theme in this one so I’m very happy about today’s post!
The base colour on this one is Rimmel Breakfast in Bed
I used Sally Hansen Mojito, Rimmel Britpop, NYC Hudson Breeze and piCture pOlish Chillax in the waterfall. There’s a waterfall tutorial here.
It’s all topped off with one coat of HK Girl.
Don’t forget to stop by the other ladies’ blogs to see what they dug out for the Untrieds challenge.
It feels like we’ve been waiting an age for Game of Thrones to come back and now it’s so close I can almost taste it! A thoughtful friend got me these House Sigil water decals from Tentacle Studios on Etsy for my birthday last week and I don’t think there will ever be a more perfect time to wear them. I did try to match the colours up to the real thing but because the decals are all black, it was kind of tricky so instead, I turned the whole thing topsy-turvy and went for a girly skittle colour scheme.
My base colours are Barry M Dragon Fruit (which, in hindsight, would have been the perfect colour for the Targaryen Sigil!), China Glaze Tart-y For The Party, NYC Raindrop, Sally Hansen Green Tea and NYC Lexington Yellow.
The decals are from Tentacle Studios on Etsy.
I finished it with a top coat of Glisten and Glow HK Girl and then a coat of Rimmel Matte Finish.
It really happened! Finally someone put a T-Rex on a stamping plate and I am now the proud owner of that stamping plate! Winstonia are back with their 2nd generation stamping set and I couldn’t be happier with it. The set includes a great selection of designs and each plate has it’s own theme which has come in very handy when I want to find a specific design. Of course, the highlight for me is the prehistoric plate which features the T-Rex and a few other Jurassic beasts.
For this nail art, I used Sally Hansen Pinch of Punch as my base colour.
I stamped on a few designs from Winstonia’s 2nd Generation Set using BK Matte White.
The blue glitter is Claire’s Neon Blue and I added a few holographic 3mm studs from She Sells Seashells.
It’s all topped off with one coat of Glisten and Glow HK Girl.
Whenever I pass a Claire’s Accessories, I can’t help but look in at the nail polishes ever since I found an amazing silver holographic glitter in there. Today I almost couldn’t believe my eyes when I was met with an amazing selection of indie-esque polishes on the shelf including some neon glitters. Considering that very few, if any, mainstream cosmetic brands in the UK have conquered the quirky glitter trend, I was pleasantly surprised to see these kind of polishes in Claire’s and I picked up three of them – a chunky neon mix, a blue neon glitter and this pastel green shimmery based glitter.
These polishes run at £3.00 each and are now finally available to purchase online at claires.co.uk. I strongly suggest you take a look through the selection if you like drool-worthy glitter combinations and grab the silver holographic if you can!
For the glittery nails, I used Sally Hansen Green Tea as my base colour and then applied two coats of Claire’s Shiver.
To create the chevrons, I laid down a base of Barry M White followed with a thin coat of Glisten and Glow HK Girl to make it dry quickly. Once that base was completely dry, I cut scotch tape in to thin chevron stripes using some craft scissors and applied them to my nails.
I painted over it all using W7 Black one nail at a time and quickly removed the tape while the black polish was still wet.
It’s all topped off with two coats of HK Girl to smooth everything over.
