Stripes and Hearts Stamping Nail Art for Valentines Day

-
Hello everybody! I am very excited to share with you some beautiful Valentines Day nails that I created with a stamping plate and with a lil' bit of freehand too; best of both worlds, huh?


Do you guys wanna guess what was freehand and what was stamping? All, right, all right, I'll just tell you! I used a french tip stamping plate and two different nail polishes (a pink stamping polish by Konad and Revlon Red by Revlon) to create the striped effect, aren't these colours just perfect for Valentines Day? Then, I freehanded all the little hearts where I thought they would look good in a un-named BYS polish. Pretty simple, huh?


The stamping plate that I used was 'm19' by Konad. I originally tried, which I now realise is pure insanity, to stamp this on using a stamper that wasn't clear, gasp! It was because I had just bought a new stamper and I wanted to try it out. I got as far as the first stripe and then I was like 'nope, nope, nope, bad idea' and whipped out my clear stamper, which led to stripey pattern success!


I really adore these nails, I just think that they are the cutest thing, but then again, I think that all Valentines Day nails are the cutest thing :) ! If you love Valentines nails as much as I do, then you should keep an eye out for my ' Top Ten Nail Polishes for Valentines Day' post which will be coming out very soon ;). The post will include swatches and reviews of ten of the most awesomest polishes to wear on Valentines Day, if you want to see what it will be like, you can check out my Top Ten Nail Polishes for Christmas post here. I hope that you all enjoyed these nails as much as I did!
 May your nails be good

Sinful Colours New Shades 2019 Full Collection Swatch and Review

Helloooo! Helloooo! Heloooo! Oh my! I am really very, very excited to present to you all a new collection swatch and review from Sinful Colours! This is the new core collection from Sinful Colours for 2019, which consists of 8 nail polishes. The slightly oddity here is that there are two nail polishes that I haven't seen in the other collection reviews; these being Holo Back and All Jokes Acia'd. It's possible that they are exclusive to Australia or maybe were released a little later than the rest of the collection? Those are my running theories, but if anyone knows please share your awesome information down below in the comments section! Y'know, when I do a collection review I never know which polish to start with! Do I choose something that works well as a representation of the overall collection? Do I pick my favourite or least favourite? Do I just pick whichever swatch photo I see first? Yep, the last one, it's always the last one, otherwise I'll never choos

Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens Winter Collection, Full Collection Review

Hello everybody! I'm so very excited today because we will be looking at the Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens collaboration collection for winter! I just adore the Sinful Colors/Vanessa Hudgens collaboration polishes, they are some of my favourite polishes in my collection, so my expectations for this collection were very high (almost as high as my excitement levels!). This is a 12 piece collection (the last collection aka the Jungle Beat collection only had 8 polishes but the Festival collection also had 12, just a fun little fact) and every single one of them is shimmer polish; not a single creme in sight! This differs from the the other collaborations, which all had at least a few cremes thrown in there. But, I'm not too upset about that; I LOVE shimmer polishes, and after swatching a collection that was pretty much completely made up of creme polishes (none other than the Sinful Colors New Shades collection), I am happy to be swatching these shimmery beauties! Oh! And, before

Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens Jungle Beat Collection Swatch and Review

Hello everybody! Today is a very, very, very exciting day for this blog because this is my first ever swatch and review of a collection! I was super pumped when I started seeing polishes from the Vanessa Hudgens collection around October, and picked up the four polishes that were available. When I brought my polishes home and looked them up, I was only able to find two of them on the Sinful Colors website, which were apart of the festival collection. I only found a swatch or two of the other polishes that I picked up and no mention of them from SC on their website. As time went by and more Vanessa Hudgens polishes started popping up, I noticed the same thing happening; these polishes didn't seem to exist! It was not until I saw a display at a Priceline store that I rarely visited that it finally made sense; these polishes must have been from a separate collection which had yet to be announced. And so, this is how I came to realise these were apart of the 'jungle bea
