BP Blue Flower Decal Review

Good evening you glittery beasts! 

I bring you a review on these flower decals from Born Pretty, use code KEX31 to get 10% off your orders. The only kind of 'decal' I've tried in the past is temporary tattoos haha. But I gave these a go and I was very pleased with them. I put the decals over a blue base from Barry M called Cyan Blue. 

To get the decals onto your nails is the same process as a tattoo. I had no issues applying these, you just have to be delicate once you have wet them otherwise it could fold in on itself but I used tweezers to reduce the risk of this happening. Once decals are on, I applied my favourite top coat and it was ready to go.

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For

Hey glitterpops! 

Today I bring you a Sin City design...in all it's black and white loveliness. I remember the first Sin City coming out, think I was 13. I haven't been able to see the second one yet but I want too. I haven't been hearing the greatest of things about it, but well I'm not one to see or not see a film based on other people reviews. 

This design was fun to create and I always jump at the chance to splatter paint on myself. The only part I still don't like doing to much is writing. This is when I appreciate acrylic paint because I must have washed the writing off about 5 times if not more, that's me trying to make it perfect which with this it actually did not need to be. 

I've been enjoying doing more movie designs, recently I've done Planet of the Apes, TMNT and now Sin City so I will try my best to keep up to date with upcoming movies. :]

Crazy seems good to me

Happy 23rd Birthday To Me!

Hey Glitterpops. Today was my 23rd Birthday, I don't know about other people but I always feel a bit iffy at first when my age turns to an odd number...anyone else....hopefully not just me.

I had a lovely day, me and my partner went to see Guardians of the Galaxy which was awesome! I may have shed a tear towards the end, which sucks since I just cried at Doctor Who yesterday. Then on the evening we went for a nice meal, I had something called a Chicken Melt and for pud I had a chocolate sponge cake that had this gooey melted chocolate in the middle, so yummy. 

Something I would like to do before my next Birthday is to start a YouTube channel. I have been debating with this for probably two years on and off. I've been so nervous about it but with me about to start my own business as a nail technician which is already a huge deal for me and a scary thing to do, if I can do that then starting a channel cannot be as scary I hope. 

Cake and Cupcakes are the lifeline on a Birthday!

Am I a good man?

Hey everyone! As I write this there is about half an hour before the new series of Doctor Who starts and we get to see our new Doctor. It's my Birthday tomorrow but I've been more excited about this haha. 

I could babble on for quite some time about how much I love Doctor Who so yeah let's just enjoy the design instead. Doing a galaxy design seemed appropriate and I choose the colour red since this Doctor is supposed to be more rebellious. :]
I hope he's good! Please be good.

Watercolour Style

Hey glitterbombs...XD

Today I did a water colour type design, I used the technique I guess you would call it of dipping a cotton bud into nail polish remover and then into nail polish. When you go to dab it on your nail it makes this lovely design, it looks even better when you use two or more colours. 


Products Used:

  • Misa - BACKbone
  • Misa - TOPtopper
  • Revlon - Lilac Pastelle [Base colour, just use anything pale like white or cream]
  • Docrafts Acrylic Paint - Noir [Black]
  • Docrafts Acrylic Paint - Lagoon [Turquoise]

Game of Hearthstone anybody?

Hey everyone, if you like card game then you most likely have heard of Hearthstone. I've never been into cards other than collecting Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh! ones haha, but I do play World of Warcraft so I heard about Hearthstone through that and I love it! I'm not the greatest player by any means I just find it enjoyable....slightly frustrating at times too, not gonna lie. 

After that ramble about that, of course you can see why I decided to do a Hearthstone design. I tried to do this a couple of days ago but I got a bit lazy which is my own fault for trying at 11pm at night! So I tried again today and I am much happier with the outcome.
