MODELS OWN?

I can't seem to get on the Models Own website, I have been trying for almost a week now! Is anyone else having problems?

Viva La Nails - My Freebie

I read about Viva La Nails from Nihrida.

They were offering all Nail Bloggers a free Product Sample Pack unfortunately it is out of stock now but you can put yourself on their waiting list.

Anyway, I ordered mine and it arrived within a few days. It was a lovely surprise as I didn't know what to expect. I got a whole lot of stuff, it is amazing.

I haven't used anything yet, but my manicure day is looming and will be sure to use something then.

HELP - Makeup/Nail Ideas for Prom

My daughter's prom is in a few weeks, July the 1st to be exact, and I was wondering if anyone had any prom nails or make-up ideas to go with this dress.

Any ideas or suggestions welcome. it'll take a little bit of pressure off of me.
Many thanks, :)

Yellow Comparison

I have two yellows and thought I would do a comparison.

The two charged are China Glaze - Lemon Fizz and OPI - Banana Bandanna.
In the bottle they look quite alike, but on the nail there is quite a difference.

First the application, CG LF was opaque in one coat whereas OPI BB was on the watery side and applied sheer in one coat.

I applied two coats of CH LF and THREE of OPI BB to get a nice coverage.

CG LF is a cleaner brighter yellow whereas the OPI BB is a bit deeper.
I have to say that the CG LF is my preference, what about you?
p.s.
I also learnt how to make a personal watermark in PSP10, what do you think. If anyone wants to know how let me know.

Orange Manicure - Update

I did this manicure earlier in the week and decided to update it a little.

I have loads of craft scissors (I did a lot of card making up until about a year ago - then I started my job and no more time :o( ). Anyway I used these scissors on normal address labels but they did not cut too well and also they stuck on the nail and took polish off as well. But then, as I was surfing my blogs I came across this by Dollface.
Here in the UK we call it "sticky back plastic" and it comes in a roll. I had loads and thought I would give it a try. And guess what? It works a treat. It stuck to the nail easily but the best thing, it peeled off perfectly without leaving any tacky glue behind. To contrast the Organe, I used China Glaze - Blue Sparrow (neon).
