XL A - ' A Sparkly Jig-Saw Puzzle '

Hey ladies!

I woke up this morning and decided to do a crazy holo manicure =).

I've always wanted to use the Jig-Saw puzzle pattern on my XL Plate A ... But I just never knew what base colour to put it on. 
Here's what I came up with:

(Picture with Flash).

For this manicure i used:

- Milani's - Hi-Tech (As the base colour) 

- With... Milani's Cyberspace and Digital.

- Konad Special Black Polish. 

(Picture with Flash).

Unfortunately my camera doesn't want to capture this manicure properly!! ...But I'm loving my Shiny *Sparkly* nails =).

(Picture Without - Flash).

I started my manicure with Hi-tech (the picture below) as my base colour. 

(Picture Without - Flash).

I then dabbed patches of Milani's Cyberspace and Digital onto the base to give my nails a 'Petrol Rainbow' appearance (See below).


Overall - I'm happy with how this manicure turned out =).

Here is the lovely XL A plate =).

Have fun reading =)

XL A + ' A Silver Mosaique '

Hey Ladies!

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

....But....

 How quickly did this weekend go =-/ .

I cant wait till July..I have a week booked off - to relax, and it cant come soon enough!

It feels like ages since I had time of work and I'm in real need of it atm.

Since last year Ive not had 100% health (Ive felt constantly tired and I'm always cold) .

Though I did not instigate this with my doctor .. till 3 months ago ( Yes I know naughty me =-/) 

My iron and thyroid levels are dropping every time I have a new blood test (To date Ive had 3 to investigate the problem). 

I recently started taking Multivitamins with extra iron - which has showed in my latest blood results...however my thyroid levels have taken another drastic drop =-/ 

Since Friday Ive been taking medication to help boost my thyroid levels - ill have another blood test again in 2 months to see if the dosage need to be lowered or upgraded =-/.

So that's where I currently am =-/. 

Therefore I decided to do a Manicure yesterday to cheer me up yesterday!.

For this Manicure i used:

- Gosh - Silver.

- Konad Special Black Polish.

- Stamping Plate - XL A.

Ive been wanting to use this design for ages.

I am very happy with how this manicure turned out!. 

I absolutely love this Silver polish. The above picture is after 2 applications.

Its one of my favourite polishes I own - Plus its a fantastic stamping polish =).

Thanks for reading - and don't forget you have until Midnight tonight (UK time) to enter my giveaway

Testing my new XL A plate - Part 1

Hey girlie's

On Thursday i finally got my hands on the Konad S5 Plate =) Since i first saw this plate......i knew i wanted it!.

I cant wait to try the S5 plate =) , Ive got so many ideas for it.....but...*he-he* I should first try the XL plates i brought in January first .

I brought plates XL A and B from http://www.magnonails.de/, each plate cost 15.99 euros . It took 6 days to arrive to me in the post, which i was very impressed with -) Especially due to postal delays after Christmas.

Plates XL A & B , both contain 42 designs on them each =)

Here's some information about the plates:

• The plate measures approx 148 x 210 mm.
• Each stamp measures a huge 10mm wide by 12mm long.
• The plates can fit into folders designed to hold sizes A5 or A4.

I'm cant wait to test these plates....so I've decided to try the first 20 designs on plate XL A for this article and ill test the following 22 designs very soon =).

For testing the XL A plate i used:

• Rimmel London - Double duty base coat.
• China Glaze - Wagon Trail.
• Konad Special White Polish.

* Apologies in advance for the sloppy application of polish*

I'm very impressed with how the images transfer.

Each pattern is very well designed.

I found it much easier to use the XL plates then my round plates =-/ .

I am soo happy i got these plates and can see me using them a lot!.

Have fantastic weekend Girls! =) .
