Ok this is already starting to prove harder than I imagined..I'm not sure how much more pink my eyes can take lol. I also don't own that many pink polishes so forgive me if you see me using the same shades. Mani number 3 for Breast Cancer Awareness Month is by La Girl - Ballet and the dark pink doesn't have a brand name unfortunately (one of those random polishes from a Debenhams collection). I've used striping tape to achieve this effect.

The finished look - I apologize for it being slightly untidy, as the striping tape was hard to perfect every time :(

The base colour.

STOP! Before you leave don't forget to be a part of the fight against cancer - share, fundraise, donate. Remember every action counts!

Here's pink mani number 2 for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Its by Barry M - Bright pink. I applied two coats of pink and then used LA Colors - french white and CH15 to stamp with.

After 2 coats of Barry M - Bright Pink (looks really shiny here as I took the picture while the polish was still wet).

The finished look - the stamping didn't turn out as I had hoped so it kinda looks like a dotted mess but trial and error is always good :)

Oops I didn't realise this manicure was going to look all christmassy but o well I still like it :) As you know I've been terrible at stamping so far so I'm trying to use them a lot more in my manicures. For this look I used Barry M - Grey as a base colour and LA Colors - French White to stamp with. The plate used is CH7 (Vibrant collection).

The finished look - slightly smudged the pinky finger while applying top coat :(

Now that summer is officially over in the UK, it's time to put away the bright shades and switch them for the darker ones :( Today's manicure base is by OPI - Lincoln park after dark; a deep, rich, vampy purple. This shade will actually seem black if seen from a distance or in some lighting (especially if you apply 2 or more coats). I actually love this shade because it is a nice alternative to black if you don't like such a harsh, bold colour on your nails.

For the glitter gradient, I used W7 - Multi Dazzle; a glitter polish consisting of multi coloured chunky hexagonal glitters and smaller fine circular glitters. To achieve this gradient, I applied the glitter near my cuticle with the brush about 1/3 or 1/2 of the way up and finished it off with a top coat to seal the design.

The finished look.

Hey lovelies! Today I want to share a simple classic - french tips manicure. It's been years since I've done a french manicure simply because there are so many gorgeous colours out there these days that I want to experiment with them all! However I started a new job this week and thought let's stick to classic and classy! (Don't wanna seem too bold for first impressions now do we!) Usually I use stickers or tape to do my tips but I'm trying free hand tips for the first time here. I used LA Colors - French white, OPI - Bubble bath and I then added a little glitter on the tips using LA colors - sassy sparkle, all finished off with Seche Vite top coat.
