Fab ur Nails - FUN 26 Swatches & Review

Hi Guys,

Well after 6 plates in 6 weeks I have now come to my last swatch and review post for the new Fab ur Nails plates that were sent to me for review by the wonderful Annette of Rainbow Connection.

Over these 6 weeks I have well and truly put these plates through their paces and tested them with virtually every stamping polish brand and stamper I own and I can honestly say this brand is amazing!
I cannot find a single fault with any of the plates I was sent - they honestly tick every single box

  • Beautifully etched so flawless pick up every time - even the fine lines
  • Great image size so usable with long nails (which I had for the 1st 3 plates)
  • But no too big that short nails lose out (mine were cut half way through!)
  • Variety - there really is an image for everyone and everything
  • Worked perfectly with all stamping polish brands and stampers that I tried
So my final overview is if you are still on the fence with this brand don't be, I definitely recommend trying these plates.

So this final post is to show off FUN 26 and again its another great plate!

As this was a product review for Rainbow Connection all the polishes and products used were from the store - some may not be available anymore but trust me there are plenty of alternatives and new products being added all the time.

Here are some of the beautiful images from this plate - here I have used my go to Fab ur Nails Jumbo Squishy Stamper available here and a selection of polishes from EDK, Hit the Bottle, Colour Alike and Twinkled T.

My Creations
For this I used Colour Alike Kind of White for the base then added some double stamping 1st with Painted Polish Midnight Mischief and then and ombre of Painted Polish Stamped in Guava, Mint and Taro.

ILNP Home Sweet Home was the base here, on the index and little finger I stamped with EDK Juno & Carmelo and I reverse stamped the flowers from my clear stamper with Midnight Mischief and filled them in with Glisten & Glow Today is your Day and Your Mountain is Waiting.


I created a sponged gradient base using Colors by Llarowe Ornamental & Caribbean Holiday before stamping with Colour Alike Kind of White.


I used some of my Grace-Full holos for this watermarble base - Knight Silver Lake, Princess Rose and Amethyst the Unicorn and stamped with Midnight Mischief.


 I was in a watermarble mood with this plate and created another one here using Glisten & Glow Today is your Day and Great Balancing Act with Cirque Colors Electric Daisy and stamped with Midnight Mischief.


Finally I did an ombre base (not that you can see!!) with some golden oldies - Smitten Polish Ignis Opal & Aer Opal (these are lush for summer) then double stamped with Midnight Mischief and Twinkled T So Extra.

So there are my final creations.

The other products used in all of these and again all from RC are - Zap skin protector, Clean up Brush and Glisten & Glow HK girl and I recommend all of these for your stamping kit.

I hope you have enjoyed my posts on these plates - please check out the others on my blog so you can see all the gorgeous plates.
And thank you to Annette for sending them to me - I hope I have done them justice.

Barry M Molten Metal Swatches

Image
Hello Again, Today on my blog I have swatches of the 5 new Barry M Molten Metal polishes. I never tried the original 4 which were released last year but I decided I liked the look of these so would give them a try. I got them on 2 for £7 from Boots but they are also available from Superdrug (I will leave links below) Barry M are probably my favourite high street brand and I like a lot of their finishes and different effects. What I also loved about these are the big, flat brushes because I really find they help get an even coat across the nail in minimal brush strokes. As with all the Barry M polishes I have tried I couldn't find any fault with the formula - they applied like a dream, I'd forgotten just how much I like them if I'm honest - they are just as amazing as some of my favourite indie brands. So the swatches - Blue Glacier - Well you must know me and blues by now and this one has definitely got the thumbs up from me! I think the name sums it up perfect

Poundland Make Up Gallery Nail Polish

Happy Sunday Nail Lovelies. A few weeks back I was in Poundland and I thought while I was there I would grab a few polishes and bits to review, for £1 each I thought i'd have a try. I settled on 3 of the pastel creme colours, a glitter, the base/top coat and a cuticle oil so in total £6 which is less that 1 of my favourite indie polishes! I started by applying the glitter to my little and index finger - I did this over a peel off base coat because I hate glitter removal! Peel off bases are amazing invention, I am currently using the Miss Sporty one which I have found pretty good, I don't really have the same polish on for long enough to do a good wear test though! Anyway the glitter I chose was a clear/silver holo, very pretty and very sparkly and I did like how it looked over my peach acrylics. I used 3 thin coats to build up a decent coverage, it wasn't full coverage but it was enough for me. If you wanted full coverage I would build it up with a sponge. I thi

I will get on top of my blogging schedule soon...I promise!! So as a nail technician I like to use lots of different products and currently one of my most popular is Magpie Beauty glitters and dusts. These are the most amazing sparkly products that can really bling up a manicure, they are fab so today I'm going to show you how I use them with gel polish. I am going to show the application technique for glitter, dust and pigments. Here are the products I am using -  Gel Polish in Black, White and Pale Green  Magpie Products - Dust - Olive, Glitter - Eartha, Pigment - Izzy I only used my applicator and duster brush but I also have the detailer brush.
