Warm nails for the Freezing Weather.

Last week I wore this warming manicure.  For the ring accent finger I wore the charming Poptastic by Color Club and then did a leopard print with acrylic paints.  For the rest of the manicure I wore China Glaze - Oh How Street It is, a hot vibrant orange.  And boy did I need this manicure.  We have had snow and freezing weather to contend with here in the UK.  At lease this manicure made me feel warmer.

Gone Totally Dotty!

Still with the dotty theme, this is my latest manicure.  For the base colour I used Where's the Soiree by Color Club, a creme black which dries with a satin finish.  I then went a bit dotty and added dots just to the ends of my nails and for the ring finger - all over.  Topped it with a coat of SV for shine.

Dotty Check Pattern

More nail art on my nails for this week.  I saw this originally on a white base with black dots and it looked awesome.  But I wanted a different slant on it so went pink.  I used OPI Japanese Rose Garden for the base and then used Victoria by ASOS Ciate Pots for the dots.  Topped off with a generous layer of Seche Vite.
I am quite pleased with the effect.

Born Pretty - Rhinestones for review

Last week I got a lovely surprise in the post.  I had recently bought some rhinestones from eBay, but for the life of me could not remember if I had got these???  I just could not figure it out.  But if I had stopped and read the card enclosed, I would have know it was sent to me for review from Born Pretty.  I have to say I was just gob smacked at the amount for a start and secondly it pleased my daughter no end as she could have a pack to herself.

They are a black AB flat back rhinestone measuring 3mm and as you can see they are gorgeous.

Thanks to Born Pretty for these, I would definitely give them 5 stars.

China Glaze - Pelican Gray

Pelican Gray from China Glaze - Anchor’s Away Collection.  I have had this since last year but only just worn it now.  My crappy camera and the great british weather does not do it any justice!  IRL this was more shimmery than the photo shows.
