Ciate hopscotch

Really impressed with this shade of Ciates, it's called hopscotch and is colour which id describe as a shade inbetween red and orange.

It's a lovely summer shade and works well with most outfits! It's a really bright colour and not very shiny so I added some uv nail varnish to give them a shiny finish! 

Ok magazine have recently done a feature of summer nail varnishes and I'm shocked that this varnish isn't in the magazine! There are similar colours in the magazine, featuring the Ciate bubblegum which looks really good! I've taken a picture of the page here for you to see!

Current favourite nail varnish - Barry M

Just going to show you some pictures of my favourite nail varnish at the moment!

It's really glittery and sparkles in the sun, the colour is a neutral pink shade that will go with most outfits so there's no need to worry about it clashing with anything you wear!

Only downside is it's quite rough on the nails, but it looks really pretty! So who cares!?

Pyramid flower nails

Using scented peach revlon nails I've painted my nails.

I then added white flowers to each nail and then a black dot to the centre of the nail, on the nails inbetween I've added a diamanté pyramid to them.

Cupcake sprinkle nails

Using Models Own nail stickers I've created a cupcake sprinkle nail design on my nails

Holiday nails!

Just started to do my nails for my holiday as I'll be flying away to Magaluf on Monday!

These nails went a bit wrong so I haven't used this design for my holiday unfortunately! But I will go through what I used and did to create this look.

To create this look I've used DIY nails, nail decals. I'd chosen to use the pineapple design. You can get these from the DIYnails website or Asos.

Here shows the decals, when using them just dip them in the water and place onto the nails but hold them down onto your nails for around 10 seconds so they have chance to stick.

After I painted my nails using beauty Uk nail varnish in green I then applied the decals to the white nail only. I've chosen my middle finger as I will do a zigzag design on the remaining white nail.

I then wanted to create a zig zag nail so I applied a white Barry m varnish on top of the zig zag stickers. As shown in previous posts.

Advice would be to not use glitter over the top of the decals as I found it didn't look as good!

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!

Loreal Confetti speckled egg

Using loreal confetti and Ciate Amazing Gracie, I've decided to create a speckled egg look on my nails!

Starting with Loreal Confetti, I applied one coat to the nails.

This is how it should look! 

I've used too much confetti on one of the nails so I've chosen to remove some as I think it looks a bit too fussy!

I then applied ciate Amazing Gracie over the top of the nails!

I applied one coat, and then continued to apply coats until you can hardly see the confetti!

Below shows how the nails looked after a third coat of Ciate! 

I then applied some more confetti to go over the top to show some darker speckles and overlay the confetti.
