Creative Shop Plate 66 Swatches and Neon Unicorn Tutorial

Hello Lovelies,

I hope you have all had an amazing Easter Weekend with your friends and families and got treated to lots of Easter Eggs!

Today I have swatches of one of the new Creative Shop plates I recently brought from Rainbow Connection and has I loved one of the images so much I have a quick tutorial on how I created the accent nail for my recent manicure.

**I will leave all links at the end**

So this is the plate I got and it has some really cute images on it

I love the Creative Plates because they are full of such unique and quirky images, they have so much detail and are really well etched. The image sizes are a really good size too which means if you have long nails these plates would be fine for you.

For the Swatches I used -
2 in 1 Embellished Clear Stamper

Painted Polish - Midnight Mischief
I was so happy with how well the images from this plate picked up - I used my usual gentle scrape with a firm scraper and rolled the stamper over the image, some of the images with finer lines like the birds and puppy did need a bit more polish and an even lighter scrape but they still picked up fine.

Some action shots -



And here are my swatches
I love the puppy image and the Otter Space one

So onto my Neon Unicorn -

I started with 2 coats of white gel polish curing each coat for 30secs in an LED lamp,

 For the Neon Colour I used Magpie Neon Pigments in Izzy, Joy and Zoe and applied with the applicator brush.

I decanted a bit of each pigment into the lid and dabbed small amounts randomly onto the tacky layer, then gently brushed off any excess being careful not to mix the colours.



 My absolute favourite top coat is The Gel Bottle Inc no wipe top coat and I floated a coat over the pigment and cured for 30secs in my LED lamp

Using the creative plate, midnight mischief and my clear stamper I stamped the image onto the nail. I always clean my plates with acetone before using, apply a line of polish at the top of the image and with a quick scrape remove the excess polish and fill the rest of the image. Roll the stamper over to pick up the image.

The great thing about a clear stamper is you can line the image up over the nail before stamping, then gently push down, I rock my stamper up and down & side to side to ensure the whole nail is covered **Remember clear heads are a little more fragile so if you have long, pointy nails take extra care not to slice the stamper head with your nail**

And Ta-Da one Neon Unicorn...I then top coat again with my favourite top coat.

Here is the whole manicure - 
The glitter I used is Little Mix from GlitterArty Nails.

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

Image
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...

Stamping Decals on my Uberchic Mat

Image
Happy Sunday Nail Girls. Hope you are having a great weekend! Today I am blogging about one of my newest purchases but definitely a favourite. Last week the lovely Sarah of She Sells Seashells announced she had stocked the new Uberchic Mat (plates are coming soon) so I knew I had to get one as I was wary of ordering direct as I know a lot of UK girls have had custom charges and for £11 it was a no brainer! So this mat is silicon and perfect for making decals, testing polishes, comparing colours, swatches and I'm sure lots of other things, Its also safe to use acetone on so easy to clean up but the dried polish just peels right off. So here's what I did - 1st I used my Leighton Denny one for all to paint in the nails on the mat, you can see in the picture where I have polished, This is the top of the decal and means it will peel right off. While they were drying - they need to be completely dry, I got my other bits out. For this I used Fab Ur Nails FUN14 plate...
