Pink & Hearts & Kisses

Hi guys ! Hope you are having a fun week so far. My week has luckily not been too busy, but really enjoying the little bit of calmness. Today I'm sharing a fun pink Valentinesday look with you . The lovely Ghila from NailsNoob  send me a little surprise from Italy with a friend that is visiting South Africa at the moment and this Rimmel beauty was included in my package . I knew wanted to use it before Valentinesday , so it was the first one I picked to use. For this mani I used two coats of Rimmel Salon Pro Simply Sizzling.. It's such a gorgeous barbie pink . For my accent nail I used one coat of OPI Alpine Snow and topped it off with Teenage Dreams . I then used a fun heart with a kiss on decal from the  Born Pretty Store  and voila.. Perfect for a Valentinesday look.  ( I reviewed the decals  HERE  ) So onto the nails ....  Thanks again for the gorgeous gifts Ghila ... xxx  How has your week been so far ? ...

Valentines Day Nail Art- Cupid's Revenge

Hi guys ! Hope everyone had a great weekend ! Mine sure was !! Just wayyyy to short for my liking . Today I'm showing you my version of Cupid's Revenge. This theme had me a little stumped , had no idea exactly what I wanted to do. Then my ex suggested this design. The moment you lose the person you love ( Cupid's revenge ) you feel like your heart doesn't beat anymore ! And so this design was born . ♥ For this design, I used two coats of China Glaze Stone Cold ( a gorgeous matte grey ! ) and drew the heart beat line design using my Cina Nail Art pen in white . For the heart I free handed the cute heart, with Seche Colour Snapdragon ♥ I used Seche Vite for Top Coat . Again , remember to check out the other two lovely ladies that's also doing this challenge designs. I'm always AMAZED by their designs ♥ Erin - LovelyLacqueredLife Elena - EcklipsedByColor

Hi guys ! It's finally weekend ! Anyone got any exciting plans ? Today is also my granny's birthday, so really looking forward to visiting her this evening, and spending some time with her tomorrow ! Happy birthday gran !! Today's nail art challenge is a girly gradient. For this mani I decided to use pink (what colour is more girlie than pink ! ) . I used three coats of Tip Top Melting Marshmallow for the base colour. Then I used Tip Top Pink About Us, and Tip Top Sexy Bikini as the gradient colours. Honestly this looks so pretty and cute ! Then I stamped the accent nail with Konad Special White Polish, and Salon Express plate (SE 18 ) . I really love how super girly this looks ! ♥ And the little heart added a sweet innocent touch . ♥ Remember to also check out the lovely ladies who are also doing this challenge.

Valentines Day Nail Art Challenge - Roses

Hi guys ! Can you believe it's Wednesday already ! Seriously this week is just flying by ! ( Or it's just because I'm super busy .. ) Hee hee hee, but whatever one it is I don't mind ! Today I'm showing you my Valentines Day Nail Art challenge. Today's theme is roses. Well, I'm not a big fan of roses at ALL ! Not in nail art form, or in actual form . Why you might ask ? The last year I developed a weird allergic reaction to them, which is a pity because I used to LOVE getting roses as gifts.  So this was a super tough one for me personally. I used two coats of China Glaze Ruby Pump ( Wow it's the most gorgeous red ever !! ), and for the accent nail I used two coats of Loreal Black Swan . For the stamping I used Konad special white polish, and China Glaze Adore (such a lovely colour to stamp with ! ) with Konad plate M65 - Again remember to check out the lovely Erin and Elena's blogposts with their roses themed post today, I'm sure ...

Valentines Day Challenge - Love Notes

Hi guys ! Hope everyone had a fab weekend ! Sorry for no post on Friday, as many of you know it was my little guy's birthday, and I was to busy running around getting everything perfect to post. But don't worry, I will show off the nails I did for his party this week too ! A while back my awesome friend Elena posted about this fun challenge on her blog that she is joining in, and I decided to join in the fun too. Here is Erin's blog link - LovelyLacqueredLife  that's hosting this cool challenge !! For this mani, I used two coats of Tip Top French Manicure White, and accent nail was Tip Top Fairy Dust , which I stamped with Salon Express plate (SE20) and China Glaze Adore. I did some newspaper prints over the white, but decided to mix it up with a poem someone wrote for me a few years back , and I felt this was my love note, so I really wanted to share it on my nails too  ♥ I just love the outcome of this mani !! Hope you love this mani as much as I do !...
