NOTD! Technic Carnival

I found these pictures whilst going through my camera, and was quite impressed with the general prettyness of these nails, definetley blog worthy!


The first nail varnish is Revlon cloud, these Top Speed versions are a massive improvement to the regular Revlon nail varnishes which are lovely but take for-ev-er to dry. Cloud isn't available from boots, but you can buy it on eBay here if you like. The second is Technic carnival, you can buy this on eBay but if your a cheapskate like me and want to only pay a pound you can stake out your local Bodycare. 


Why must I be cursed which such Effin ugly hands? I can't comment on the wear of these nail varnishes as I these pictures were taken a while ago and I honestly don't remember. However I usually find Revlon to last quite well, and glitter tends to last a long time (whether you want it to or not!)

Feeling Sorry For Myself...

So todays post is going to be a quickie, with pretty poor pictures too ( I aplogise). I've been feeling soo ill the past two days but I didn't want to get in the habit of not posting.


This post is just basically to say that I picked up these from B&M bargains, I think they wear around the £2 mark? Maybe a a little less, I'm a big fan of Sally Hansen nail things, especially if my nail are having a bad week!

Leopard Print Nail Art

I apologise for my absence this week, I haven't had access to a camera which makes the blogging thing difficult. So hopefully I should be able to get a good few posts up this weekend to make up for it, plus my first ever nail post! I really should be more consistent rather than doing nothing for a week and three posts in a day.
Anyway, I did my nails the other day and thought that they were photo worthy. I used three coats of Models Own Pink Punch. This is a lovely polish but it's quite hard to photograph so it tends to look different between cameras. This is literally the fastest drying nail varnish I have ever owned, I think it's because it's quite thin. By the time I had done both hands, the first nail was ready for a second coat!
Please bear in mind that these nails are two days old at this point and I think they still look fresh and nice. I did the leopard print using my Models Own WAH nail art pen, I've tried cheaper pens but this is by far the best around.
I'd heard a lot of good things about this before I bought it and I can pretty honestly say that it's worth the hype. Don't you love it when a product lives up to your expectations!
These are the nails close up in a slightly better light to show the colour better. They were so easy to do, it's worth trying because I honestly thought they would be a disaster, but I'm quite happy with them. Oh, I almost forgot, I topped the nails with a coat of 17 clear nail varnish (which for some reason I can't find on the website), it's only £2.99 and is just a great top coat!

Let me know if you would like to see a tutorial on this, or any other nail art ideas for me to try,
