Born Pretty Store Dotting & Liner Brush Pen Tool and Pirate Nails

I am showing you this great **Dotting & Liner Brush Pen Tool sent to me for review by Born Pretty Store. It retails at £1.65 or $2.77 and the icing on the cake, it is free shipping worldwide.

It is so versatile, two tools in one.  I am also showing you my nail art I did for work.  It is book week at school, and our theme was Pirate related. I dressed up as a pirate and did nails to match using the brush/dotting tool from BPS.  I did the stripes and pirate bandana with the **brush end and the pirate face with the dotting end.


So, if you want this brush you can use my discount code PBL91 which will get you 10% off the full price. So what are you waiting for, go to Born Pretty Store for loads more nail art goodies.

GOT Polish Challenge Part 2 - Week 6 - Neon

Week 6 of the GOT2 (Golden Oldie Thursday) Polish challenge over at Crumpet's Nail Tarts. This week the theme is Neon.

I cheated a little.  I have had these well over one or even two years, I can't remember, so they are oldies, however they have not been used so a little cheating there.

Anyway here is my Neon manicure, a few days late.

Items used:
OPI Nail Envy
Milani - Totally 80's and Pink Rocks
LA Girl - Silver

Sparkly Nails - Lace Wheel Water Decals Review

At the weekend I got some gorgeous Lace Wheel Water Decals in the post from Sparkly Nails to review. There are 20 pieces in all, (10 black and 10 white).  They retail at £1.65 and UK standard postage is only £1.50.


As other decals I have used before, these were just as easy to apply.  I simply painted my nails (or rather sponged my nails, using my new KIKO blues and Sally Hansen).  I waited a few minutes, cut out the decals, dipped in water and applied to my nails, top coat of SV and some gems on the other nails and viola!

I must add I am quite frugal and decided to use them as an accent on my gradient nails.  I went for the white pattern.

Nail art has never been simpler and quicker.  Love these decals**.

Purple Gradient with Decal Roses

I was at my Cousin's wedding at the weekend.  The colour theme for us was royal purple/and or gold.  I did nails to match my outfit.

I did a gradient and added some nail decals I got a while back from AliExpress. For the darker shade of purple on the tips I sponged on China Glaze Let's Groove to start with, but it did not match up with the outfit.  So for the second coat I switched to CG Stella and it was perfect. The gradient was done on a base of Sally Hansen Lavender Cloud.

Items Used:
OPI Nail Envy
Sally Hansen - Lavender Cloud
Color Club - Fashion Addict
China Glaze -Senorita Bonita, Let's Groove, Stella
Etude House - Purple Glitter
