Gold & Blue Hex Nails.

Its the weekend!! Plus I am not working this weekend which makes me very happy :).

Today I have my new Hex Nail Jewellery to show you. To any of you who find swearing offensive you may not want to read on in this post, as my nail jewellery is a bit rude and I would hate to offend anyone. But if you are cool with that kind of thing please read on.

I have seen a lot of other posts about Hex and when I saw them I just knew I had to try them. I wasn't disappointed with them either, they are the perfect way to jazz up your nails and they are so easy to apply and use. I didn't find they caught on things much and fitted to the nail quite nicely as they are slightly curved. I just stuck mine on with top coat and they lasted me 3 days, but I think if you used nail glue then they would last much longer. Onto the photos....

Easter Nails.

I hope everyone is having a nice and relaxing Easter, I am spending my day painting my nails and catching up on lots of telly. It's so good to have some time off work!

To celebrate the occasion I thought I would do some Easter themed nails. I knew I wanted to incorporate bunnies or chicks, but I couldn't decide which so I went for both :). I am pretty happy with how these turned out, I think they are rather cute (even if I do say so myself).

Polish for a pound?!

Hello again!

I was shopping in my local Tesco the other day and found myself drawn to the beauty aisle (this is becoming a frequent problem of mine) and I came across some polish for £1 a bottle! I believe this is Tesco's own brand of polish. While I do love a bargain, I was quite sceptical as to whether this stuff would actually be any good. But I thought for a pound I may as well give it a try, and here are the results...






This brand is called All About Nails and the polish I got was called Bronze (not such an inventive name). This polish is probably more of an appropriate colour for autumn, not spring - but I still liked it regardless. The photo shows two coats with no topcoat. I was pleasantly surprised by this polish. The formula was fairly good - it streaked a tiny bit but I often find that can happen with this kind of shade. It was completely opaque in two coats and was pretty easy to apply. There were a few other colours in this range and I would be interested to see if the rest are consistent with this. 

Overall I would say that this polish is great for someone on a small budget. Slightly streaky, but for £1 you can't really complain.

Thanks for looking!

Bubbles!

I have some nail art to show you today. Another dotting mani, I seem to be having a thing for dots at the moment I am wearing them all the time. I will start posting something other than dots soon I promise! I do quite like how these turned out, and they were so simple to do. They sort of remind me of bubbles, hence the title of this post.

Spots and Stripes.

Today I have some more nail art to show you. I'm not really sure what inspired me for this mani. I guess I like stripes and I like spots so thought I would combine the two. I really liked how this design turned out, however I was having serious lighting issues when trying to take the photos, so I shall apologise in advance for those. I am still trying to figure out the best way to take photos of my nails, so bear with me! But I am sure I will get the knack eventually. If anyone reading this has any tips they can give me that would be greatly appreciated.

Anyway onto the pictures...
