Rhinestone Flowerburst
Pin It
I bought a wheel of crystal faceted rhinestones from AliExpress recently - they are so much prettier than regular clear rhinestones - and this is the first manicure I used them for. The pictures don't really show the prismatic-like sparkle off to full extent, but trust me; in person they are pretty!!
For this mani I used Elevation Polish Pic de Subenuix on my ring & pinkie nails and Elixir Lacquer Miss Kitty's Mee-yow on my middle & index nails. PdS is a mid-dark purple with green flash shimmer& MKM is a periwinkle with aqua flash shimmer. I thought they made a nice contrast together. I added a large rhinestone to the right corner of each nail and then small rhinestones all the way round the large to make them look like flower petals. I didn't top coat them for fear of losing the prismatic sparkle of the gems. You should really use nail glue to prolong the wear time of these though.
I quite like how these turned out - what do you think?

Scales & Sparkle
Pin It
I've been playing around with my MoYou London plates for a couple of weeks now, they're so much FUN!
Here's a little look I came up with using one of the Sailor plates.
For this look I applied two coats of OPI Sparkle-iscious to my ring and pinkie & thumbnails. Next, I painted my middle and index fingernails with OPI Overexposed in South Beach and stamped a scale design from MoYou London Sailor Collection - 04 plate, in China Glaze Passion.
I topped off the mani with my trusty Seche Vite.
A whole lot of polish loot arrived on my doorstep today (courtesy of post-xmas sales), so be sure to tune in tomorrow for a sneak peek at what's on the horizon for NPA.

What I got for Christmas: Takko Lacquer Schiaparelli
Pin It
Takko Lacquer Schiaparelli
Schiaparelli is a bright Barbie pink shimmer with green flecks. I freaking love it! It is a perfect two coater and I topped it off with INM Out the Door top coat. I can't wait to try it matte!
I love these newer takko bottles too, just sad that all my others are in the round one :(
That brings my What I got for Christmas series to an end however, I've got some nail art for you over the next couple of days.

What I got for Christmas: Rainbow Honey Sweet Talk
Pin It
How are you enjoying seeing my xmas presents one by one? Can you tell I'm stalling because I have NO swatches left in the 'vault'?!
I'm not regularly a fan of this next brand, but I am taken by this glittery concoction. Enjoy.

Rainbow Honey Sweet Talk
Sweet Talk is a white crelly with pink, purple and pale blue matte glitter. I think it was a Valentine's Day polish from Rainbow Honey. I applied two coats plus Gelous & Seche Vite for these swatches.
I'll be showing you my last xmas polish tomorrow - saving the best for last, I promise!
