MiliManicure

Whenever I've opted for a gradient manicure, I tend to choose colour combinations that compliment each other well such as blues, yellows, pinks, etc. I realised that I usually go for a 'pretty' transition where I've either used bright sunset colours or soft pastel shades. Therefore this time I thought let's go vamp!

I saw a nude to black dyed dress in last months Bazaar magazine (completely forgot to take a picture and now I can't seem to find it) and I thought these shades might actually make a great pair.

Happy Easter everyone! How many of you have indulged in easter eggs for breakfast? I can glady say I haven't had a single one yet, but I'm sure that's likely to change during the course of the day.

Colours used: BeautyUk - Hope, Astor - Yellow Buttercup, NYC - Raindrop and No7 - Spring Meadow.

I used a nail striper brush and dotting tool to create this bunny design.

Finished with top coat.

Holi known as the 'festival of colours' is celebrated across India to bring in the harvest/Spring season and signifies unity and brotherhood. It's an opportunity to forget all differences and indulge in the colourful fun. It has traditionally been celebrated in high spirit without any distinction of cast, gender, status or race.

It's the first day of Spring so I felt like a flower manicure was simply inevitable (even though all my recent posts seem to all be florals as well!) Here's a simple yet effective design created using one of my favourite floral stamping plates - MoYou Kaleidoscope collection 03.

Two coats of Astor - Yellow Buttercup. (This formula is a little streaky and it works best with 3 coats, however as I was covering most the nail with a stamp I didn't mind leaving it streaky).

Stamped using NYC - Manhattan and MoYou Kaleidoscope Collection 03. Impatient me didn't wait long enough for it to dry before applying the top coat so apologies for the slight smudges :(

The finished look.

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all those celebrating today. The weather in London could not be more perfect for a trip down the pub for a cheeky pint or some gin! We're one day closer to the weekend, the sun's shining bright and Easter holidays are only a week away...what's not to celebrate?

I stamped the accent nail using MoYou Kitty Plate 03

Using a striper brush, I used OPI Gold Shatter to add a line of sparkle to the manicure tip.

Finished with Top coat.

Today I have a special review post for you guys featuring some gorgeous metal studs from Lady Queen. They have a massive collection online of some amazing nail art supplies at very affordable prices. This is my first time using their products so I'm excited to share my first thoughts with you all.

When I run out of ideas on what colour I should experiment with next, I seem to always gravitate towards a blue shade. This nails inc shade is one of my favourite bright blue shades and even though I've used this stamp recently, I'm still in love with this Born Pretty plate.
