This is one of my favourite nail arts that I have done this year and the year isn't even over. But lets look at my cute little sloth nails.

I was inspired by the incredible Hannah_nails_it on instagram, I'd suggest you go and have a look because her nail art is so good. I chose to do this nails because it was Father's Day when I decided I would recreate her look, my dad is obsessed with sloths. I can totally see why they are cute little things. I used Rimmel Caramel Cupcake as the base colour, this is a lovely colour yes it is quite simple. But I really enjoyed using this, just not sure if it suits my skin tone though. It only took two coats to make it fully opaque. For the glitter I used Ciate Sloaney, Sweetie this is a shredded glitter and I absolutely love this. Onto the sloth, I had to be really steady to create this because this little sloth was a tricky one. I used LA Colors French White, BarryM Mustard, Kiko Meadow Green, 2True Black and finally I used a brown, it may be from Sally Hansen. But I cannot remember it at all.

Wishlist #139

I haven't posted a wishlist in a few weeks, so I am back. I cannot believe how close we are to September! Where has this year gone, it will be Christmas soon what.

 

Polishes Mentioned:

1. Topshop - Stars & Stripes - £5.00

2. Topshop - Culture Club - £5.00

3. Topshop - Shameless - £6.00

4. Topshop - Behave - £6.00

 

Why Do I Want These Polishes?

1. Topshop - Stars & Stripes - This is such a unique nail polish, this is such a great polish. It has stars and stripes in a clear base. This would be absolutely perfect for 4th of July. It would be lovely because it is so unique.

 

2. Topshop - Culture Club - This is a great nail polish shade, I can't really tell what colour it is because it looks like a dark brown or purple. This looks perfect and I think that it would be perfect again for winter or autumn. I'd love to get this.

 

3. Topshop - Shameless - This isn't pictured obviously because I couldn't find it anywhere when I was searching for it. It is a metallic matte blue shade. It seems like it should be a turquoise blue which again would be really nice for the colder months. I don't think that topshop sells this polish anymore.

 

4. Topshop - Behave - This polish is another matte nail polish, that once again isn't sold. But it is a deep pink, you don't usually see any deep pink shades. I really love pinks but I feel that I don't wear them enough. I am more of a dark kind of girl. This would be nice, but once again pretty sure they don't sell matte nail polishes anymore.

Haul | A Pretty Huge Haul

I have bought so many polishes and you know what I don't care ha-ha. I don't know if I will get wearing any of these just yet. So I'm sure you can look out for these in the next couple of years when I eventually get around to wearing these polishes. But I hope you enjoy this pretty long post.

 

So i headed to the Models Own bottle shop, Models Own is one of my favourite brands. I love it and i will always love it. As some of you might know they have an offer on its 6 for £20, so of course I picked up 6. It was a tough decision when I have most of the collections already. First I got Blue Skies, this is the last one I needed to pick up from the festival collection, then I picked Chrome Copper. I got this because I have heard its great for stamping. The next one is from the dare to bare collection which only come out the day I went to the bottle shop, this is in Skin Deep. The next one is Shades, a really pretty pink/coral. The next one is from the soft pop collection in Cosy Posy. The last polish is Toxic Apple from the ice neon collection.

Then I went to Fragrance Direct, i was going to do an individual post for this but i thought i might as well just do it all in one. Yes I did go a little crazy, but who doesn't deserve to treat themselves. I picked up L'Oreal Independence Day, I have such a great idea for this polish and it was only 90p!! Then I picked up three OPI polishes, I picked up Hello Hawaii Ya? this is such a beautiful mauve, this will be perfect for winter. The next polish is UH OH Roll Down The Window, this is stunning khaki shade, I think this is perfect for winter or even autumn. The next one is OPI Its A Piazza Cake, I have been wanting this for so long. The next polish is Rimmel Sage All The Rage, this is a really pretty polish. I kind of went a bit crazy for Essie polishes. Fashion Playground, Parka Perfect and Chills & Thrills.  I have two Orly, this is a sort of new brand for me and I need to get so many more I have Snowcone and Rage.

 

I have lots of Tehnic nail polishes, that I got in Bodycare. I am not sure if it is a shop all around the country, but I really like it. I wont go through the colours because this may be the longest post I have ever done. I have White Sands, this is just for my nail art or maybe a full manicure. Then I have Ginger, Florence Fancy a super pretty glitter. Then I have Surf's Up, Happy Holidays and Electro. The last polish i have in this picture is Sinful Colors Kylie Jenner collection in the colour Slay Grey. This has such a beautiful gold shimmer running through it.

 

I went to TKMaxx and a beauty store. I picked up Ole and Purple Crush, this is a duo set. I am pretty sure this isn't actually meant to be what the duo is supposed to be. But I have no complaints as it is super pretty. Then I went to the beauty store, I picked up Nailed London Fruit Punch. It is a really pretty glitter, I may do a close up post for some glitter polishes. I have OPI DS Extravagance, this is very popular polish I am so happy that I got this one. Then I have Seche Uplifting, this is so pretty and so unique to anything I have in my collection. Then the last one I have China Glaze Lemon Fizz, I knew I would have regretted this if I left the store without it ha-ha.

 

This is all the polishes I bought, I went a little crazy. But I actually have two polishes that I left out of this as I had bought after I planned this post. Have any of you guys tried any of these polishes? I would love to know. I hope you enjoyed this post, thanks for staying till the end.

Another currently wearing for you today, I am wearing something sunny and bright today. I guess the sun was out when I worn this. Sorry for no wishlists for two weekends running, I have actually been away. But they will be back next weekend!

I am wearing BarryM Papaya, if I am honest I wasn't sure if I could pull off this colour. But what a perfect summery colour this is, it is a coral which might look more of an orange in some lights. I really like this. This took 2/3 coats, sometimes I had to just got over it because I could see a few bare patches as well as some streaks. BarryM gelly hi shines are one of my absolute favourites, I really love using them. I actually have so many yet I haven't used barely any of them. I will try and do a post soon on the ones I have used. That might be in about two years time with my track record ha-ha.

Its a new month (when I say new month when I used this to paint my nails ha-ha!) I used this at the start of June so that is how far I am behind. I am so useless at being a blogger.

I used Picture Polish Ornate. This is kind of  a cult polish from picture polish. I actually got this for Christmas. It is such a unique polish, it is in a pink base with gold glitter pieces running through it. It also has pink glitters in but they do reflect to gold. This goes on so smoothly, in just two coats. I absolutely love this and I would defiantly recommend you go and pick this up. So for my first use of picture polish I loved it and I would defiantly go and pick up some more. Us UK girls can pick them up on Rainbow Connection here.

Glam Nail Challenge | May 2016

This is the final post on my Glam nail challenge, this is a collage of all the pictures that I've taken throughout the month of May. 

              

I am so happy with myself for finishing this and I absolutely loved taking part. This was really handy for my untried year too because in total I used 10 nail polishes. I feel my nail art skills have gotten a lot better as well. Out of all of these nail art designs I have one I absolutely love the bees and the flowers. I know some of them aren't great but I am learning and getting realty into nail art. You may actually see more nail art at the end of the year when I put together my favourite nail art of the year.

This is the last challenge for the glam nail challenge. 

 

The theme was punk. I had no idea what to for this theme, so I scrolled through Google and found something like this. It was pink punk, I loved it. I'm not into black nails so I thought it sad perfect. I used AVON Parfait Pink, this is such a pretty pink. I used two coats, my stars weren't great. But as the saying goes practice makes perfect.

It is another time for glam nail challenge, the theme for this was frogs.

I used Models Own Pitch Purple. This is such a deep purple and I absolutely love this. It is a hyper gel and the hypergels are one of the models own polish that are so popular. I absolutely love this because it is super glossy and I really love it. I am not sure on the frog if I am honest just because it is a bit funny, it actually stained through the white nail polish which is crazy. But I suppose I tried to do a frog so I am super happy how it turned out.

Wishlist #138

It is wishlist time once again, I am trying so hard to be posting more because that was one of my resolutions at the start of the year.

                                        

Polishes Mentioned:

1. Picture Polish - Whimsy - £11.00

2. OPI - Tutti Frutti Tonga - £12.00

3. OPI - Care To Danse? - £12.00

4. OPI - That's Berry Darling - £12.00

5. OPI - Pink Before You Leap - £12.00

 

Why Do I Want These Polishes?

1. Picture Polish - Whimsy - What a pretty polish, I really like the name it is super cute. I haven't seen this picture polish, it is probably out of stock but oh this is really pretty. I need this.

 

2. OPI - Tutti Frutti Tonga - This is a really strange nail polish. It isn't a orange or even a coral, it is more of a peachy shade. It sort of looks like the one from the coca cola collection which I cant remember the name of.

 

3. OPI - Care To Danse? - This is a pretty sheer polish, I have seen swatches and I have to admit I am not sure on this polish. If you ever have the time to look at this polish it is a super sheer polish. I am really not a fan of sheer polishes as I don't feel as if they do anything to your nails.

 

4. OPI - That's Berry Darling - Oh what a beautiful bright pink nail polish this is. I absolutely love my pink nail polishes. I feel like I need a lot more pink nail polishes and maybe I should have a post of all my pink nail polish collection.

 

5. OPI - Pink Before You Leap - I really love this shade, it s so perfect for the autumn. I think this would be perfect with some stamping over the top of it.

So once again I am so far behind on my currently wearing, I actually have 11 posts backed up. This isn't great, I am coming back and going to work super hard on my blog I really promise you all.

This is another glam nail challenge and the theme was dry brush. This is the first time where I actually have created a dry brush, I am so happy that I tried it for the first time. I absolutely love this. I used China Glaze White On White. I also used three random nail polishes to create the dry brush effect, I did watch a few videos ad thought it went pretty well. I used a grey, mint and pink nail polish and I will be trying this is a different effect or on a cool design.
