NOTD: Bling Neon - Models Own Pink Punch

I do like a bitta sparkle in my life and what better way to jazz up the nails than to add a little bling

I think Models Own Pink Punch was my favourite polish of the summer, I wore it a LOT and it was brill on the toes too.. So I decided to add a little bling to my nails, I may have went a bit OTT on these because once I started adding it I couldn't stop!!!

Prepare to see a LOT of  photos

I used so much top coat to keep the bling on that my nail literally peeled itself off!!! See the evidence for yourself.. I was gutted :(

SELF PEELING NAIL

I liked the above nails a lot except for the fact that the bling got caught on EVERYTHING. So I decided to redo them but just use the bling as accent nail!! BUT before I could take photos of this mani, I was carrying the polish and a book and a drink all together across the kitchen and dropped the polish, YUP, it smashed all over the porcelain tiles! My heart dropped to my toes!! I had to get down on all fours with baby wipes and scrub!!! I wasn't thinking about my nails at this point only about lifting the colour from the tiles!! I had to use some nail varnish remover and cotton wool aswell as wipes!
This did not work out well for my nails :(
I was gutted by the end result. But at least I saved the tile (which would have been waaaay more expensive to replace!!

What do you think? Are you a fan of bling and blinging????

NOTD - MODELS OWN- PINK PUNCH

Hey Guys,

As ye know, I'm a big fan of the neon trend and since I bought me the Models own Neons I've been trying to get as many wears out of them as possible! Well it would be rude not too *heehee*

I really like this pinky/peachy/ orangey colour.. it depends what way the light catches it as to what colour it is at any given time, the application of this is a bit gloopy, so bew sure to swipe the brush off the bottle after a dip and you'll be ok. This took 3 coats to be all lovely and bright and pretty, 2 probably would have been enough tho.  I then added my top coat to make it extra shiney.


I let them as above for maybe a day but then I was mad to try out a few ideas that I had in my head on them, the first was to stick some little diamonds on to bling them up. I used the diamonds that were in the top of the nail art pens that I bought in pennys. I used a blob of top coat and a toothpick to pick up and place the diamonds, easy peasey :)
I did paint over the whole lot then with topcoat to make sure they stayed put! The diamonds unfortunately had minds of their own and within a day I'd lost most of my left hand, but my right hand stayed put! weird as I done them both at the same time.

MY OTHER ATTEMPT

In my head it sounded good to attemot to free hand flowers and add little diamonds as the bud in my flowers, sounds cute right? That it does, unfortunately my arty fart skills aren't up to much and my nail art pen wasn't in a co operating mood for this one!

But I said I'd show ye anyways

So there you have it, a lovely bright summer colour and 2 nail art attempts that I've tried.

have you tried anything lovely and bright this summer yet? I'd luv to get some reccommends for something new and bright and lovely (yes come and feed my little addiction, like i need the help! lol)

NOTD: NYC - 294 LEXINGTON YELLOW

NYC - 294  LEXINGTON YELLOW

Getting Dotty with it..

Hey All,

After reading and seeing lotsa reviews on this little number I had to pick myself up a bottle and for the bargain price of 1.79 euro, I HAD TO really *heehee*

Two coats of this and a top coat and my nails were lovely and bright and summery. NYC as always is affordable, the varnish has a good consistancy and colour pay off and the brush was easy to use.

So no complaints from me for this one.  

I decided that white little daisy type flowers would be very cute over this colour and summer too.

I used my tructy dotting tool and a blob of  Essence white manicure tip varnish.

However I decided to do the flowers whilst watching the Big Bang Theory and you can see for yourself the results!!!

My placement was all over the place because of my half assed attention to detail at the time.

I still kinda liked them even tho it looks like I was drunk at the time! But as always I learned the hard way that some things require your full attention for 5 whole minutes! oops
