Fairy dust sparkle nails


Did my nails today using my favourite brand - Ciate! I've chosen to use two bottles.



These shades are shown below - one consists of just glitter to go over the top of the pink nail varnish


I use a small funnel to get rid of any unnecessary glitter that hasn't stuck to the nail. This means when applying the glitter, I do it over a cup so that all the glitter can be poured back into the bottle using the funnel!


This is the final result!

Models own nail swatch

Here's just a small look at my new Models Own nail varnish, in a pale brown colour! It was easy to apply and plenty of paint gets onto the brush so you're not having to constantly re-dip. 


The nail varnish is super shiny and dries fast, I applied just two coats to my nails which was unusual because normally when applying nail varnish I have to apply  three.

Lovely neutral colour which would work well for weddings or work, giving a classy look.



The nail varnish actually comes with some nail stickers. However, I've chosen not to use them as I'm going on holiday in two weeks and my nails will need re-doing so it'd be a waste of stickers!

Neon orange nails

Just replaced my ladybird nails with bright neon orange Gelly nails Barry M.


I've chosen to keep the zig zag nail and just touch it up!


I think this colour works really well an is great for summer. The gelly Barry m gives  the nails a great shine!




Perfect summer nails! Orange for when the sun is shining!

Ciate Frost Yourself!

 Using Rimmel Lasting Finish nail varnish, I first applied one layer of blue, I then applied a second and a third! It doesn't matter if it's messy because you can remove the excess polish with a cotton bud and nail varnish remover.

Below shows stage one of one layer, stage two - two layers. And the final stage, a third layer.



However, I decided to remove the polish from the middle finger and paint that using Ciate - fit for a queen nail polish as shown below. This is a silver nail polish and shines whatever the weather. I'm also using Ciate - Frost Yourself this can only be bought when purchasing the mini mani month advent calendar.
When applying Ciate frost yourself, you must make sure the undercoat is wet and thick, this is so the little caviare beads stick firmly and don't move.


Above shows the final look! remember to add a top coat to make sure the beads stay on properly!
