Happy Halloweeeeen!

Hi guys!

Just a quick post to say happy Halloween, hope everyone enjoys the day.. even if it's spent snuggled under a duvet watching horror films and pigging out on the sweets for the "trick or treaters". (lets face it, it just makes sense to buy the snacks you like just in case no one turns up!)

I created a simple manicure today as i didn't have the time for a full scale nail art look. *pouts* However i also have my pumpkins to show you!

To create this look i used:

Claire's Accessories - Black

ELF - Fairy Dust

Seche Vite - Top Coat

Barry M - White Nail Art Pen 

This is just to show you how pretty the ELF - Fairy Dust is over a black base.. In day light the red and green glitter shows up amazingly!

Annnd now for the fun part.. my pumpkins! Last year i carved one for the first time and created a cookie monster, but this year i wanted to do something a little different. And so i bring to you.. Painted Despicable Me pumpkins! :)

And there's only one way i can end this post..

Cya tomorrow! Becky x 

£1 Polish Wednesday

It's me again!

This is my fourth post this week already and it's only Wednesday, what's going on?! Anyway here is the next £1 PW feature, which just so happens to be the polish i used for this 3D challenge mani. 

Now i'm not usually a red person, i probably only have about 7 reds out of my 160 polish collection. That being said this is such a beautiful, deep shimmering red that i just had to have it! I brought this polish roughly a month ago but it's still available on the ELF website if you click here. They also currently have a 50% of everything promotion (if you spend £20 or more) meaning you could pick up a fair few full price polishes for just £10 after discount.. schweeet!

Back to the polish! It's called Cranberry and as i said before it's a really deep red, the photo's make it a little lighter than in real life. It has a slight gold shimmer to it which catches beautifully in the sunlight. The application was fine, it was opaque in two coats. The only issue i had with the polish was removing it, as it was a little stubborn to get off around my cuticles, but nothing a bit of patience and polish remover couldn't fix. I'd definitely recommend buying this little varnish, it's a perfect fall/winter shade! 

So what do you think, will you be buying this? And more importantly do you prefer it on human hands or a 'dragons'..? :P

Bye for now! Becky x

33 Day Challenge: 3D

Hola!

I'm going to start this post off with a warning: this is going to be picture heavy. This is probably the challenge i have been most excited about.. 3D. Ohh the places that my mind jumped when i saw this.. And where did i settle? 3D dragon nails of course.

Yes, i may have gone a little out there with this one, but i'm so mother fluffing excited to show you it! I'm hoping to swatch the two polishes used on the actual nails (or in this case, claws) to show you guys tomorrow. But for now, i give to you.. my attempt at dragon nails.

*drum roll please*

TAAA DAAAA! ..can you tell i'm excited?

  

To make the claws i used air drying fimo clay and sculpted them over some false nails. I fixed them on to my real nails with blue tac, as i didn't really want to keep these on for too long! I used a red leather polish from Claire's Accessories and then a cranberry polish by ELF for the claws. For my hand i just used acrylic paints and went mad! I think the way it dried and cracked looks awesome.. i'm a very happy bunny!

What do you think? Is this something you'd like to see more of in the future?

Now only a couple more pictures to go.. I wanted to prove my dragon nails were 'every day friendly' so i cuddled a teddy bear and drank a cup of tea.. just about anyway.

Oh and if you're wondering what it was like to get off, it wasn't actually that difficult. I did however look like a zombie half way through.. 

So there it is! My dragon claws :) Hope you enjoyed this post as much as i did! Will hopefully swatch the two nail varnishes used and post them in the next few days.

Cya! Becky x
