NOTD featuring Cupcakes!

Hi my lovelies!
Todays mani was suggested by my good friend Sarah, she suggested a pink gradient with cupcakes and even named the BM plate I should use :D


Right hand with mini fail on ring finger, at least I tried to fix it though hehe!


The enigmatic left hand ;)


Close up arty shot and you can see the awesomeness of the glitter topcoat!

What I used...
  •  Stargazer topcoat as base and top cos am a dunce!
  • Poundland Starshine as the base colour (seriously the best fricking silver ever!)
  • Then I sponged 17 Fairycake from about a 2/3's of the nail down to the tip
  • Next I took 2True in Shade 1 and sponged that from the last 3rd to the tip
  • Stamped cupcakes on ring fingers and thumb using BM13 and Konad Black
  • Lastly coated every nail with the amazing WetnWild Kaleidoscope, I love this polish so sparkly and eyecatching :D
Thats it folks, thanks for all the lovely comments & new followers lately, I appreciate everysingle one of you! 
Until next time...

Final Part of Nail Art Series plus Special Announcement!!!

Hi EVERYONE! 

Here is the final installment of my Nail Art Series inspired by Blogging friends. Every single girl I have done this for has been so so gracious and really got a kick out of it and that makes me all warm and gooey inside!
This one kinda decided it wanted to be a fail mani but I still think it turned out cute :D

This one was inspired by Jennifer over at TheExoticLacquer who is such a sweetie, go check her out if you haven't already!

I decided to use feathers and peacocks for this one and silver and purple polish to give the exotic feeling to it! The purple Jen may recognise as she gave it to me in a swap!

I used 
  • Sinful Colors Fiji
  • Poundland Silver (thee best silver I have ever tried!)
  • Konad White
  • Konad Black
  • BM15
NOW....
Onto the mega second super duper part (well I think it is anyway...)

I am close approaching 300 followers and didnt want to do another giveaway for that, I wanted something my readers could properly participate in, this series just gave me the proper idea for it.
