Kaviar Nails Again

Despite being totally impractical (I'm dropping beads everywhere) I've decided I quite like the effect and even the texture of these 'Caviar nails' (originally created by Dashing Diva). I had another go creating them but this time with a dark base using the same mix of beads I have. The wheel that separated the colours broke which is why they're mixed.

This manicure reminds me of those chocolate buttons with the hundreds and thousands on top.

You can recreate this look easily using polish you already own and some micro beads like this

which you can buy on eBay for about £1 (search for beads nail art) or you could check out your local craft shop. All you need to do is use a polish of your choice as a base. Make sure you apply a thick layer of polish and then sprinkle these on top and then once the polish has started to dry tap the beads gently for a more secure fit. Easy!!

Kaviar Nails Yay or Nay?

Couldn't resist my own attempt! Not my best work but for something done in less than 10 mins it ain't half bad right? My PD hates it, I'm still undecided. What do you think?

Not sure if my beads are too big or my nails are too small!

Love this polish (and the books!)

I Lily Love Dressing up!

The sun is out and it's about 18 degrees celsius here in London. Perfect because it's not too hot and not too cold. Sunny weather also means better pics. I like shooting using my daylight bulbs but sometimes it just highlights all the flaws lol! Yesterday you saw me wearing ChG Dress Me Up well I couldn't leave the mani alone and after a couple of hours had to apply OPI I Lily Love you.

I was surprised how well they went together.

What do you think?

NOTD - China Glaze Dress Me Up

For the last 2 days I've been holed up in A&E. Not as a patient obviously but doing my 12 hour shifts to get all my trauma stuff signed off! Don't get me wrong A&E is my favourite rotation as it requires me to think on my feet and react to ever changing situations but it was such a shock to the system especially since last week I was sat/stood watching doing sweet f-all in Neuroradiology, YAWN!
Thankfully today is my 'study day' and I'll be working on my dissertation but firstly I want to show you ChG Dress me Up which I painted on this morning!

2 Coats. No top coat.

I received this in a swap from Barb and it's part of The Hunger Games collection. It's a lovely dusty rose colour which I find suits my skin tone well. The formula was quite gloopy and looks uneven when you first apply it on to the nails but thankfully it does even itself out and dries to a lovely glossy finish. I was a little lazy with my photography today and used my point and shoot but if you like shots like this I'll try to do more.

Thanks for reading and have a good weekend. x
