Silvery Pink Striping Tape

Hey everyone, look at me going to town with the striping tape again. It was quite the delightful experience since it went smoothly. I get a bit carried away sometimes and don't wait until the base colour is completely dry and then end up ripping half of it off. -.-

Stamping Plate Review

Good evening! I wanted to share a quick review with you all today. I tried out this stamping plate from Born Pretty Store, it is a lovely plate with lacey delicate designs for you to stamp away with. I would definitely recommend using a thicker polish with this as the designs are so delicate and you don't want to miss out. I will be picking one up as I know this will help me out in this department. :]

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

Who else like me is really excited about seeing Dawn of the Planet of the Apes? You might have already you lucky thing, I'm hopefully going to next week! 

But I wanted to create a design for it, I didn't want to look to much into it because I don't want the film spoiled for me so I created this by checking out the awesome posters advertising the film and this is how it turned out. Apes are not the easiest thing to try and paint.

Holographic Nail Deco

Doesn't this fairy silhouette looks like she's up for a fight haha. Anywho, the fairy I like but today I want to give a quick review on the holographic nail gems/decorations. I've been looking for just some round holo decorations for a while but you either didn't get much or they were quite thick so I managed to catch them on things after a manicure. 

These ones are from Born Pretty and so far I really like them. They managed to stick to my nails well and I haven't been easy on them, I generally forget what is on my nails anyway so it was nice to see even being heavy handed they stay. If you use any sort of gem like these I recommend applying them when you apply your top coat and work quite quickly to put them on. I use a wooden hoof stick and gently push them down to ensure their flat to reduce the chance of any falling off and then I'll apply a second topcoat layer.

Happy 4th July 2014

I'm from the United Kingdom so we don't celebrate the 4th of July over here buuuuut I still like to do a design for it anyway. I think because the colours are generally red, white and blue and I really enjoy doing designs with those colours. I thought that Captain America was a nice thing to add although I think I could have made the blue a tiny bit bigger.

I hope you have all had a wonderful time celebrating. :]
