52WODN 19.8.13 Kiwis! Part of my 3 week Fruit Fest XD x

Photo off of GoodThing's Facebook Page :)

After seeing the super cute pictures off of GoodThing's Facebook page: I have now decided to try them out for myself in a 3 week Fruit Fest!


So here is this week's creation: Kiwis. This one looked like the easiest to do. In fairness, it was simple to think through...but, not so easy to actually create :P Funnily enough, though, my first attempt (my left thumb) turned out to be my very best one! The trick to them looking good, I found, is that you make the white bit as big as you can and the black dots as SMALL as possible too, it's all about the detailing XD


So to get this look I used Sally Hansen's Mousseline as the base creamy/white colour all over the nail. I then used the end of a pencil (y'know the rubber that's usually more smudgey and messy than rubbing out-ey?) dipped in Illasmaqua's Radium. I then made the lil' dots with a black nail art pen :)

My Dodgy Left hand XD

My PERFECT Left Thumb!!!

My Not so bad Right Hand >.<

My ALREADY chipped right thumb :P

I was pretty shocked by how quickly my right hand chipped, but I am not sure if that's perhaps because I started doing stuff too quickly after painting them :/ However, from a distance these nails look SOO much like Kiwis! People have been guessing them correctly so they must do :P and up close...you can still sorta tell >.< haha!

Well keep your eyes PEELED for next week's addition in the 3weeksFruitFest...is that a clue? You decide! :P xxx

52WODN 29.7.13 Monster Green with all the anticipation for ARTPOP.

This week (well...today >.< ) I wanted something really quick and easy as after shopping for lots of Birthday presents today (gosh, August is a busy Birthday month!) I was so tired and just wanted to type some reviews etc and go to bed :P

So, I chose Illamasqua's Radium and Model's Own Hedkandi Ibiza Mix Glitter polishes to make something quick and still Glam! Radium's a really summery lime green and the glitter just makes it party ready :P

My Left Hand :)

My Right Hand...Pretty good for once!

Polishes used, Radium, Hedkandi Ibiza Mix

 What about you littlemonsters?? Are YOU excited for #ARTPOP.

52 WODN ORANGE FIESTA! & Mermaid inspired makeup! 15.7.13

So after my week in Barcelona (post coming really soon!) I was so inspired by the beach and sunshine to make my nails as Bright as possible! I also wanted to use an Illamasqua polish so ended up using Gamma :), for the glitter/polka dot nails that is Barry M's Sequin Nail Effect in White on top of a layer of Gamma. The effect is quite cool actually :D

My Left Hand :)

My Right Hand :)

Also, as I am headed to Naomi's house to go swimming I decided I wanted my makeup to look a tad bit mermaidey-inspired today! What do you think? :D Sea Green & Pearly Pink were my main colours used :)

My Full Face :)

My Eyes, doesn't the green Zoomlash mascara look amazing??

52 Weeks of Delicious Nails 10.6.13 First Attempt at the whole Water thingy...

I was YouTube surfing, as I very often do to avoid revision, and I found myself looking at Nail Polish collections and then clicked onto a video about "Water Marble Manicure"... y'know what these are, when you get a cup of water, tape around your fingers, drop your nail polish in the water and swirl your nail in and you end up with a totes gorge marbled nail. Well, this is actually a bit difficult than it looks-to get something that looks nice anyway :P

To be fair, I only had to re-do two nails, so I wasn't too bad at it >.<

I used Barry M's Nail Paint number 66 -a complete white shade, for the base colour & then dropped in Model's Own Beach Party (a Bright Orange) into the water first, then Model's Own Luis Lemon (neon yellow) and then Illamasqua's Collide (Bright, Neon Pink). I did interchange the order of the colours, but essentially, it turned out the same, with yellow giving the most coverage =D.

My Left Hand :)

My Right Hand :) Which, for once doesn't look awful! :P

A Close Up of my Left Hand :) It's all so pretty!

My Thumbs ^.^ (Left is left and Right is right...)

Considering this was my first attempt, I am actually really pleased with it. They look so pretty and summerey! XD

Tweet me your pictures if you've done this before! @JanBeautyful xxx

52 Weeks of Delicious Nails 15.4.13

My Left Hand

 First week back to College after Easter Break, I wanted something soft & pretty yet well groomed and smart. I decided that muted pink and silvery glittery pink would be the way forward! XD I used Illamasqua's Jan as the Muted Pink shade (THIS STUFF STAYED ON FOR NEARLY 2 WEEKS BTW!) and the Glittery ones are Barry M's Pink Silver Glitter Nail Paint (number 337).

My Right Hand

 Below is My Gran's Nails (just cos' they're pretty!) The colour is gorgeous on her skin and is actually from one of those cheapy sets you get when you buy a makeup case. Probably something like Colour Club(?) It's unnamed and unbranded but worth the picture :')
