Hexagon of the Silver Screen.

I'm back after a little tiny break and as celebration I thought I'd sit down and actually spend some time prettifying my nails. I'm very pleased with these! I don't normally go for having a different thing on every nail but I've been inspired by some of my fellow bloggers who have done something similar. You are all very talented and awesome and below is my attempt to pretend I even come a little bit close to being as talented as you are.

So I've used one of my favourite polishes as the base, it's Nail Pop Shade 11, Dove. I have this shade and Chino which is the nude version, absolutely love them, they're long lasting, really glossy, quick drying and they give a great full coverage after two coats. Next I used a nail art brush to do the stripes and covered my ring finger in full with Revlon's Silver Screen and finished them off with my Born Pretty hexagonal pieces of glitter. They're still quite subtle but I love the shine of Silver Screen and it looks awesome in all kinds of lighting! More pics to follow;

Blue Moons

So today I've got another little idea inspired by my born pretty glequins. I started with two layers of my blue Nails Inc mini from the "Flutter and Paint" gift set I got for £2 from TK Maxx. Bargain! I then used my dotting tool to place the glequins one at a time over my Barry M top coat to stick them down. I then finished off the moon shape with a line using my nail art pen from Topshop.

 

I've had it on a couple of days now and it's lasted well. I also tried out my new Sally Hansen Dry Kwik for this design and it worked a treat. It's not a thick top coat it's consistency is water like but it does the trick.
