Sparkly Angel Wings :)

Another picture from a while ago. So, I went to Poundland with Katy who told me it was worth looking at the nail polishes there, and got loads of great new polishes! One of them was Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Angel Wings, which I bought for the pretty colour (sparkly white with a hint of pink) and the lovely name :) So, here is a manicure using it:


It's a lovely colour, and I'm loving the Complete Salon Manicure range (many of which you can find in poundland!) They're supposedly a base coat, colour and top coat in one, although I confess to putting on a and and top coat too (although I didn't when I was on holiday and was still happy with it!) I really love the big brush, and it goes on so easily and looks so shiny!) Here I've used Barry M clear base/top coat. On my ring finger is this lovely Sally Hansen purple (coincidentally the same colour as my wedding theme!) with a glitter from a pack of Color Club glitter nail polishes I got from TK MAXX (sorry, none of them had names!) This one looks really thick and 3D but feels surprisingly smooth and not thick at all. This is two layers of glitter as I like a thick coverage. I love how it looks on this purple!

 So, if I were you I'd start looking at the poundland nail polishes! Several more manicures with poundland polishes coming up :) That's all for now!

Dalmatian Nails and an apology!

I'll start with the apology - sorry for not posting in so long (not sure if anyone reads this but if they do, I'm sorry!) I've been crazy busy finishing my degree, going on holiday to Germany, seeing my new baby nephew and wedding planning! I have load of nail art pictures to share, so I'll probably be doing lots of posts in the next few days - I've caught a cold so I'm sat around feeling sorry for myself with not a lot to do!

So, on to the nails. After the candy stripe nails of my last post, I decided I needed a white polish, rather than the one I though was white and turned out to be more silvery. So I went for a basic white with black dots, and was really pleased with the result:



The polishes are:

Barry M Basecoat/Topcoat

Barry M 69 Matt White

Andrea Fulerton Dot and Flick, Black


Simple, but I liked it :) I love the Dot and Flick, my only issue with it is that even if you leave it to dry overnight it still seems to smudge when you apply a topcoat, which is a shame and really noticeable on top of white!

That's all for now, will update more soon :)
