Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys ! Hope everyone is having a stunning week so far. I can't believe we haven't even gotten into Spring properly and already we are having summer weather. I'm not a fan of hotter weather sadly, but I am looking forward to a proper thunderstorm . Today I have another guest post for you. This time it's Jade from  Passion for Polish  . Jade is such a lovely lady with some stunning nail art ideas, and a love for Essie nail polishes and bow nail art.  So enough of my rambling... Over to Jade .... ___________________________________________________________________ Hey Ladies, I want to start by saying how excited I am to have been asked to do a guest post for  http://www.pink-purpledots.blogspot.com/   As a Newbie nail art enthusiast I feel so honoured and humbled to be asked to do these, Specially as this blog is one of the first ones to have inspired me.

Hi guys ! Hope everyone had a lovely weekend. Mine was jam packed but had such a fun time. Just wish it was a little longer. We did the Centurion Mini Steam Trains , a picnic, a wedding and some shopping . Today I'm showing you another gorgeous Nails Inc polish. This one is from the Leather Effect Range . This one is called Soho Mews. Nails Inc Soho Mews is a dark tan texture polish , that applies like a creme and develops texture as it dries. This is a more subtle texture than the China Glaze /OPI's .So if you've been unsure about the texture trend because you aren't sure if you'd like how they feel , this one is a great one to give a go, as it isn't as super textured . The formula on this polish was really great too... I was so excited to try it out I applied one coat on the first day, but the next day added another coat with a fun stud . Dry time is also a lot faster than the glitter version texture polishes. Here is Nails Inc Leather Effect S...

Hi guys !! Hope everyone had a fun relaxing weekend. I had a blast, just wish the weekend was one day longer ♥ Today I'm sharing a fun pink mani with you. I had so much fun creating and wearing this pink black and white mani . Even my Cinderella hand is included today . So onto the nails : For the pinky I used 1 coat of China Glaze Unrefined For the Ring and Index finger - Two coats of Tip Top Pink About Us and dotted with my big and small dotting tool with Loreal Black Swan The Middle Finger and thumb is two coats of Tip Top Melting Marshmallow , and I did the crackling heart with Essence Crack me Up White and made small dots with Tip Top Pink about Us and Tip Top Sherbet Angel . Hope you like the design too - Hope this fun pink mani brightens up you Monday and that you like it as much as I did .

Hi guys ! Hope everyone had a fantastic week so far.. Mine has been super busy , and this weekend is another busy one too . Today I'm showing you another colour of the Tip Top Nail Addict Range that is exclusive to Foshini stores. This colour is called Coffee Bean . The name alone sold me - I'm a BIG fan of coffee... Can't live without it. ♥ Tip Top Nail Addict Coffee Bean is a rich brown with the most gorgeous fine gold-ish brown glittery shine to it. As any Tip Top polishes it went on like butter and took two easy coats to be opaque. Seriously... Tip Top is always impressive and their polishes never lets you down. Here's the photos of two coats of Tip Top Nail Addict Coffee Bean - Isn't this just another stunner ???  Remember you can get the Tip Top Nail Addict polishes at selected Foshini stores for R39,95 .  Hope everyone has a fun weekend !

So enough of my rambling, here's her gorgeous mani post. _______________________________________________________________________________ Lynn asked me MONTHS ago to do a guest post for her and I was never quite sure what to do. Sometimes you want to do something different. Anyway one day an idea hit me. Lynn sent me a parcel a while back with some cool goodies but I most of all loved the girly confetti she included in my box so I wanted to try recreate that. What I used: • Sinful Colors 24/7 • Tip Top Surfer Girl • China Glaze Glitter all the Way • Essence Grey to be Here • Dotting tool and thin nail art brush Firstly if you're on Lyn's blog, you'll KNOW ...

Hi guys ! Hope everyone had a relaxing weekend. I had such a nice relaxing weekend for a change, was so fun ! Today I'm showing a fun Mater from Cars (and Cars 2) inspired mani. My little guy LOVES the Cars toons, and when I saw a similar design inspired on a blog a while back, I knew I had to try it too. For this mani I used Tip Top Colours. For the base colour I mixed Tip Top Nail Addict Coffee Bean and Deadly Salmon (to give a little more orange toned brown ) . I also used the saran wrap technique for the rust effect using Tip Top Nail Addict Coffee Bean and Tip Top Super Trooper. I was really impressed with the outcome of this cute mani ♥ Let me share my fun Mater from Cars mani with you - I think by far Mater is one of the cutest cartoon  characters. This was such a fun design to create . And while I don't usually wear nail art like this in the week, it's a fun weekend design . Here is the Tip Top polishes I used - Tip Top French M...
