'Bling It!' Glitter Gel Nail Art With A Freehand Sapphire Heart.

Allo polish Pals!

How are you all doing today? I hope you had an amazing weekend?

I didn't really get up to much, just taking care of errands and organizing things. Just a typical quiet weekend, really. How about you?

Today's nail art leaves me a little unsure.. I will just let you guys be the judges.

This weeks theme prompt for the weekly challenge over on Tiny Canvas is 'Bling it!' nails. I wasn't quite sure how I wanted to tackle this one as I've done full studded accent nails before and wanted something slightly different.. so I opted gel polish with the intention of getting a very glitzy, built up glitter look.

I'm really sorry to those of you who don't like gel nail art - Maybe we can just pretend there is no gel?! :')

I created this manicure by applying one coat of NYC's peel off base coat and once dry applied two coats of Catrice's 'Johnny Deep' from the new IconNails range. I again allowed this to dry and followed on with a thin coat of BlueSky's gel top coat; This was the sticky type of top coat.

I cured my nails under my UV lamp for a few seconds and used the tacky layer for adhering my glitter and sequins which was literally a mixture of different types of glitter, iridescent shards and sequins I mixed together. I applied my Born Pretty Store gel top coat (the no wipe, non sticky kind) and cured again. Voilà!

Obviously I didn't need the peel off base for the freehand heart nail so I regular polishes here and used acrylic paints to paint it. On top I sealed it in with my Pro-FX top coat.

What do you guys think of my blingy tips? Have you tried blinging nail art before?

Have a beautiful day my friends, thank you so much for visiting, I'll catch you again on Wednesday, Here's a sneak peak of what's coming up!

Love,

Allo polish Pals!

How are you all doing today? I hope you have had a great weekend and are ready to start a fresh new week! I really like Mondays, I like the prospect of starting a week over and having an even better one than the previous one! Its a good time to reaccess all the things you maybe couldn't but wanted to do the week before.

Here's a little thingy that happened yesterday morning.. It was fairly early so there was no one around while I was walking Luna pup and there was a man walking behind us. As I turned the corner I heard 'Hello!' - I turned, obviously a little confused and the man started talking. I explained I needed the English, I didn't know some of what he was saying. He said “Are you a sports figure?”

Me:...Pardon?..er..wha?.. “Oh, because of your muscular calves”... Me: “Oh.. er.. uhm.. thanks.”

I scuttled home so fast, ran upstairs and told my boyfriend and obsessed in the mirror that I must have enormous disproportioned legs. Apparently this is like an old fashioned compliment. My thoughts? A bit weird :( Your thoughts?

But nails now!! Today I have a new product to share with from BeautyBigBang.com – I feel in love with these when I saw them in their store, they are '3 Box Set Fish ScaleNail Sequins Mermaid Hexagon Glitter Manicure Nail Art Decorations' in J2107-GN (green).

Of course when they arrived I'd completely forgotten they came in a set of three so I was really confused for a minute, haha!

I'm A Fairytale Character! Story Nail Art Inspired By A Dress

Allo polish Pals!

How are you? I hope you are having a good week so far? Do you ever just day dream?...Zzz..

It was a beautiful crisp morning in the Enchanted forest and everyone was just beginning to arise from their slumber. First came the birds, the Robin's shaking off their sleepy dreams from their nests, the Blue Jays groggily flying off to collect breakfast for their young. Next came the critters, the dozy dormice rubbing away their sleep and the rabbits dragging their sluggish bodies into the sunlight. The drowsy deer entered the clearing beside the cottage and tentatively chewed at the dewy grass.

Inspired by this dress.

There was an almighty crash, clunk and clang as the cottage door flung open. The animals looked on with no expressions of surprise. “Here we go again..” murmered the bullfrog to the raccoon as Ithfifi crawled out of the cottage sporting an unruly head of tangled black hair, aqua plaid pyjama's and what looked like... no, it couldn't be... Yep, toothpaste around her mouth. A zombie-like groan escaped her lips - She clearly had not had a cup of tea yet. “Gee Whiz, She's really something, isn't she?” whispered the fox to the rabbit. “I've never seen anything quite like it, and the ball is in two hours! She must go, for this is the 'Ball Of Bloggers! Whatever will we do?!"

The animals retreated back into the the depths of the forest and conducted an emergency meeting. 

“We are going to need Formal Ball Dresses” exclaimed the beaver. “I'll second that and add that we are going to need something for that abomination on her head! I suggest some serum..or something to stick it down at least, a tiara and a tangle teezer” announced the vole. “Guys!” shouted the chipmunk... “How could you forget, its one of the most important parts of all..!” The critters looked around desperately trying to think of what they could have forgotten. “Her nails of course! Everybody go gather what you can, we'll meet in an hour and piece everything together” instructed the chipmunk in his best bossiest voice.

So off the critters went, to seek and find a way to spruce up Ithfifi before the big ball. The frizz was banished and the tangles were tamed, she slipped into the most beautiful ball gown and holographic glittery peeptoe shoes were put upon her pedicured feet. Her cheeks were blushed with the tail of a squirell and the tiara was placed above her curls and waves.

There was just one thing left for the critters to take care of..  They began with dabs of Essie's 'Set In Stone' to add a little glitter and then the critters each took a small dotting tool and began to stick the loose holographic glitter around her cuticles, singing while they worked.

Scratchy and bitty looking glitter. Elegence without being uniform! (What do you expect when your glitter is all different shapes and sizes! )

Ithfifi yawned and carefully opened her eyes. The sunlight was pouring through the curtains and she was half hanging out of the bed. Out of the bed... No, she hadn't been in bed?! It couldn't have been a dream, could it?! It had all felt so real, the glitter, the nails! Ithfifi fearfully stared down at her hands and saw the cruddy chipped nails.. a manicure from a few days ago...

I know this has been a random post but I hope you have enjoyed something a little different. Sometimes its good to do something unusual! I'll recoverfrom the disappointment of it just being a dream. .  Man do I wish I had actual animal friends to do my nails.

Have a lovely and magical day,

Love

Ithi
