Happy Holidays everyone! Hope you're all enjoying the festive season and making the most of quality family time :) These are the nails I wore for christmas day. I've gone for the traditional festive colours red, green and white to create this look.

The finished look.

I water marbled my thumb and ring fingers using Nails inc - Roland gardens and Sally Hansen - Kiwi bikini (using BarryM white as a base coat).

I then created a gradient using the Barry M - White, Sally Hansen - Kiwi bikini and Nails inc - Roland gardens.

I stamped using LA colors - Black velvet and 'Jumbo plate B'. The design I've used reminds me of dangling christmas decorations.

Finished with a Sally Hansen Top coat.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM MILIMANICURE :)

Morning bloggers! Today's a rather icy Monday blue by the lovely kiko 654 Anise shade from the March 2014 pastel range. It's a pretty bright pale blue colour, with darker blue sprinkles through it. It's a textured polish and I've used 2 even coats here, however I found it a lot easier to apply than those I have tried in the past. I was pleasantly surprised at its super fast drying time compared with other textured polishes and it's a well pigmented formula as one thick coat could do the job! This is the first time I'm stamping on a textured surface so I have applied a top coat, however if you're a fan of the sand polishes then avoid the shiny top coat for the best look.

Two even coats of Anise.

I stamped using 'Jumbo plate D' and LA Colors Black Velvet. Due to the fine design and the textured surface, it came out more of a dark grey. Finished off with top coat. Kiko cupcake - Anise, LA Colors - Black velvet, Opi - Base coat and Sally Hansen - Top coat. Happy polishing until next time..

Hey bloggers! I'm back! I apologise for the long absence in posting, I was away on holiday in India and have only just got back to normality. Today's look is created using one of my favourite nudes by BeautyUk 'Hope'. I also wanted to test out some new stamping plates I received, and I've gone for a swirly design.

Two coats of 'hope' by BeautyUk.

Stamped using Rimmel 'Purple Rain' and Plate MLS-04.

Finished with Sally Hansen Top Coat.

Monday is upon us again and sadly it's a very wet and cold one here in London so here's a monday blue/green manicure that I actually wore over Sunday. It was my cousins indian engagement and of course my nails had to match my outfit :) I've used LM care romeis colour 144, Barry M Silver foil, Nails Inc Electric lane (holographic) and some striping tape to create this look.

The saree I wore on Sunday. I used striping tape to create the triangles and used Barry M silver foil as a base colour and used Nails Inc Electric Lane on top to add glitter.

Morning bloggers! I'm still getting through my MoYou London plate collections so today's manicure is another from the tourist collection 21. It's a detailed rose design and I love how clear the stamping was, even with such a finely printed design. I used Barry M Matt White and Covergirl Shiraz to create this look.

Here's the finished look.

Two even coats (including base coat).                                                                If you look closely you can see the fine glitter. Happy polishing until next time..
