XL D + ' Peachy Snake-Skin '

Hey ladies

Here's a quick post from me today as I'm feeling unwell =(.

Here's my interpretation of the snakeskin manicure =). 

(Picture with Flash).

For this Manicure I used:

- Beauty UK - Peach Melba.

- Rimmel London -Matte Finish.

- Konad Special Black Polish.

- XL plate C.

(Picture with Flash).

This manicure isn't meant to be 'Stamp' perfect and I love the overall effect =).

I'm a total sucker for pastel nail varnishes and I found that Beauty UK's Peach Melba was a perfect peach for my skin tone.

The application was brilliant - i think i may have to invest in more bottles of polish from Beauty UK - i love every single bottle of polish from them i own so far =).

(Picture with Without-Flash).

I was shocked to research that some people pay £185.00 ($300.00)

for a 'real' snakeskin manicure - I don't know how I feel about 'real' snakeskin 

manicures ... what do you guys think about this?

Here is the the stunning XL D plate

Thanks for reading =)

Big SdP D + ' Stars on a clear Night '

Hey ladies

I broke 2 nails whilst at work yesterday =( , so i decided to trim all my nails.

I really miss having a decent length to my nails ... But I do love having short nails again .

However .... fear not I will grow them again =). 

For this manicure I used:

- Beauty UK - Electric Blue.

- Models Own - Lemon Meringue.

I tried using Konads Special Yellow polish before resorting to the Models Own- Lemon Meringue polish ... and ....I'm so glad i chose the Lemon Meringue!. 

I think the colours compliment each other really well ... It reminds me of a old bed spread I used to have ( I loved that bed spread <3 - I had matching wallpaper too ).

Here is the awesome Big SdP D plate =).

Thank for reading =)

XL B + ' Hippie Easter Eggs'

Hey Ladies!

I hope you all had a great weekend =).

I sure do love my themed manicures....So i thought I'd do a 'crazy' Easter Manicure today.

For this Manicure i used:

- Gosh - Holographic.

- Konad Special Red, Orange, Yellow, Green & Blue Polishes.

I love how this turned out.

Its like someone went crazy and threw loads of paint all over my nails.

.

I got this effect by dotting the colours on the left side of the image i wanted to use on my XL B plate, then dragging them across with my scrapper.

I love Gosh Holographic, i love it so much - that Ive brought another bottle today =).

I bet your all thinking...She's gone mad ....This has nothing to do with Easter.

Well if your thinking that then your all wrong. When i was little - i used to love drawing Easter eggs with thousands of 'Zig- Zags' across each egg.

When i saw this design on the XL B plate - it made me immediately think of Easter (this immediately put a big smile on my face).

See below for an extremely bad interruption 'Of an Easter egg i used to draw when i was young'.

Before i did this manicure i tried other combinations with similar ideas.

The first idea i did was: (Below)

For this manicure i used:

- Revvvolution - Color Club .

- Konad Special Red,Yellow, Green & Blue Mixed with Konad Special White Polish.

I got the idea of mixing colours from the lovely Emily at Emily's Nail Files.

I put 2-3 Dots of Konad Special White Polish on the image i wanted to use, along with 1 dot of the colour i wanted to use (in this case Konad Special Blue Polish - it doesn't have to be a Konad colour to get the finished look, and regular polish will work ).

I then got a old paint brush and swirled the mixture together creating a Pastel Blue =).

*Warning* You have to work very quickly as the polish begins to dry on the plate...Something i learnt on my first attempt =-/ .

I wasn't entirely happy with how this turned out so tried something similar but different (See below)

For this Manicure i used

- Beauty UK - Urban Girl pastels.

- Konad Special Black Polish.

I wasn't keen at all on this manicure either and removed it pretty much straight away, It was then i came up with my 'Hippie Easter eggs'- and all was good lol.

D20 + ' Some Holo Glitz '.

Hey Ladies!

I hope you're all having a fantastic weekend!.

For today's manicure i used my Chez Delaney Image D20.

I also used:

- Color Clubs - Fashion Addict.

- Colour Clubs - Wild at Heart.

- Fraulein 38 - Blue Glitter Nail Art Liner.

- Konad Special White Polish.

Why do my nails look so edible...they look like sugared candy because of the blue glitter lol...or is that just me?!?. lol.

I do like this plate...Although , not all the images do appeal to me.

I picked up the plate because i saw tinker-bell and thought weee!...fairy dust! - but chose these images for my manicure because they appealed to me more after swatching the plate.

Here (Below) is how my nails looked before stamping.

I love Holo polishes ... though they are just too distracting =).

Here is the lovely D20 image plate available from Here

For swatching the D20 plate i used:

- Beauty UK's - Midnight Minx's Purple Polish.

- Konad Special White polish.

Ive tried to capture each swatch picture with and without flash to attempt to show you each image .

The images transferred smoothly - Although i did lose poor tinker-bells wings... whilst i was stamping my door bell rang...silly post man =-/.

Whilst swatching this plate i only had problems with 1 image.

See below on my middle finger.

I knew before getting this set - there were risks involved , due to the fact poor chez had problems with manufacturing these plates.

However saying that....out of the 3 plates Ive tested to date- to encounter only 1 problem image is pretty fantastic =).

I must point out...I'm not ecstatic

about stamping butterflies on my nails...... However this plate does give a wide selection of different butterflies for those that love stamping butterflies =)....And i know from visiting a few of your blogs that some of these images will defiantly appeal to a high number of nail art enthusiasts.
