Rudolph Nail Art featuring B Squared Lacquer

I've been so busy lately, but I had to make some time to do some more Christmas nail art before the season is over. I have lots of ideas and lots of Christmastime polishes to use so I have to get a wriggle on!

Today I have a very quick & easy Christmas manicure to share with you, also featuring a new indie polish.

On all the nails except my ring finger, the base colour is Rimmel's Acid House which is one of the new-ish Kate Moss shades. It's a beautiful shimmery dark green.

Over the Rimmel shade I've used B Squared Lacquer's Glitzy which is a beautiful gold glitter! It has a whole bunch of different sizes and shapes of holographic gold glitter including stars. {I actually used one of the stars in this for the tree in my Christmas Cuties nail art.} I have more polishes from B Squared Lacquer to share with you very soon so keep your eye out for that! :D

For my little Rudolph, I used Rubi Taupe, Essence Red Ahead, China Glaze Winter Berry and Ulta3 Black Satin.

Let me know if you might be interested in a quick video tutorial for my Rudolph buddy. :) It's super easy but maybe somebody would like it.

I hope to show you the rest of the Christmas & New Years polishes from B Squared Lacquer before the end of this week! :) Stay tuned for that.

Christmas Cuties ❅ {Nail Art}

I'm finding myself super busy lately, leaving me little time to do my nails at all, let alone do any nail art. But I recently made some time to crank out some cute Christmas nail art.

I've included lots of standard Christmas things in this manicure. Santa Claus, a snowman {although it doesn't snow here and I have never seen snow!}, a Christmas tree, a pudding and a Christmas jumper pattern!

My nail art skills are kind of rusty, so I made each nail pretty simple. {It may not look that simple to some, but I promise you, it really was. The whole manicure only took me about an hour to do. A normal one-colour-manicure usually takes me about 30 minutes for reference.}

Polishes used in this manicure:

• Sinful Colors Rich In Heart
• Ulta3 Lily White
• OPI My Very First Knockwurst
• China Glaze Winter Berry
• OPI Big Apple Red
• Ulta3 Black Satin
• Essie Fear or Desire
• Revlon Jaded Night
• OPI My Favourite Ornament
• China Glaze Be Merry, Be Bright {'ornaments' on Christmas tree nail}
• Rubi Shoes Taupe
• Rimmel Acid House
• B Squared Lacquer Glitzy {one star glitter used on Christmas tree nail}

Sooo, as you can see, I used a darn lot of polishes in this manicure. LOL.

Oh, and the weird red & green lines on the tip of the Snowman nail? That's supposed to be a scarf, k? ;)

On my thumb nail, I stamped over Sinful Colors Rich in Heart with Nailz Craze plate NC 03*, with Ulta3 Lily White polish. Despite Lily White not being completely opaque, it stamped pretty well!

I have had my eye on this stamping plate for a while because of this adorable Christmas jumper pattern image! A few stamping companies have similar images now but I think Nailz Craze was definitely one of the first to do it.
I used this squishy XL stamper from Winstonia to stamp with, by the way.

I have some more Nailz Craze plates to share with you soon {I cannot wait!}, and I'll probably use this one again in a full manicure because I love it so much. :)

Thanks for visiting, my lovelies. :D I hope I have some time to do more Christmas nail art before Christmas is here but I'm not sure if I will. I have a lot of posts planned & a whooooole lotta swatching to do!

Watercolour Flowers {Inspired By @hannvjk}

Hi guys! Sorry I have had a whole lot of reviews on my blog lately, and not a whole lot of NOTDs or informational posts which I really enjoy putting together, I just haven't had a lot of time for that. I still have a lot of awesome stuff to show you which I'm really excited about. :D But for today I have some nail art I did just for fun to share with you. :)

Lately I've been finding a lot of new girls to follow on Instagram and I've found some absolute gems! :) One of them is @hannvjk! I love many of her nail designs, but I especially fell in love with this gorgeous watercolour flower design and thought I would try to recreate it because she did a tutorial for it! :D You can check out her tutorial here.

Polishes I used:
Sinful Colors White On White (white base)
Ulta3 Fruit Tingle (pink)
Ulta3 Tahiti (neon red)
Ulta3 Atomic OJ (orangey yellow)
Ulta3 Acapulco Bliss (dark magenta)
Rubi Violets Are Blue (purple)
BC Co. Shade 16 (green - not that you can see it in my photos lol)
Milani Jewel FX Gold (gold glitter)

So, her design turned out like 28429348x better than mine so don't hate. ;) I wish I'd had a brighter purple to use! I realised I don't own any bright/neon purple polishes. I must change that, huh?! ;P

Also, please excuse the redness around my cuticle area in my photos. That always seems to happen when my hands are cold. o_O

This design was pretty easy to do! :) Definitely check out @hannvjk on Instagram and follow her because her designs are so pretty. I give her all the credit for this design, I could never come up with such a cute mani on my own haha!

Thanks for visiting ♥
