Birthday Night Out

Hello everyone!

Todays post is focusing on my nails and outfit from my Birthday night out on Saturday! So my theme was pink and sparkly so I tried out loads of idea for my nails, I eventually settled on these...

 I decided to do a sponged graident going from light to dark pink. Please ignore the stupid chipping on my middle finger, clearly my nails don't enjoy clubbing :P

For these nails I used three coats of Color Club Blushing Rose as the base, I then sponged the tip of my nail using Models Own Pink Blush. I was very impressed with how the gradient turned out and I didn;t want to cover it with chunky glitter. So I used one thick coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust, to give just the right amount of sparkle :)

My nails colour coordinated with my outfit and shoes and everything quite well. Here's what I wore on the night...

Super sparkly!! My aim was to look a bit Barbie like... I think I succeeded :P Overall I had a really good night and everyone enjoyed themselves. I got a lot of compliments on my nails in the toilets as well funnily enough :P

Birthday Nails Part 2

Hello everyone :)
Just a quick update post today for my birthday nails, I added something to my pink and sparkly nails I posted yesterday. If it's possible I think I've fallen in love with them even more! :P Here's what I added...

I added two coats of Revlon Lunar to create the cloud shapes and then topped off with one thick coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust to add even more sparkle to these nails :)

I really do love these. I thought of adding one of my Hello Kitty water decals on my ring finger as an accent but thought it might look too cluttered. I'll probably add one tomorrow before I do a polish change, so keep an eye out for that :)

Let me know what you think of these nails compared to yesterdays in the comments.

Pink & Sparkly!

Hello everyone!

It's my 20th birthday next tuesday (August 7th) and me and my friends are going out to celebrate. The theme for my night out is pink and sparkly so obviously I've been thinking about what to do with my nails :P 

So over the next week I will be sharing my experiments with you all :)

Today I have a simple pink and sparkly look that I actually have fallen in love with, however, I'd  like to include more nail art for my birthday mani! Here's what I did..

For these nails I used two coats of Color Club Foil Me Once. I could have gotten away with one coat of this polish but I did two out of habit :P It's such a beautiful light pink foil and it applies beautifully, would you believe this is the first time I've worn this! I then added two thick coats of Models Own Pink Fizz over the top. These polishes compliment each other beautifully, they blend and look like it's one polish rather than two separate ones, it's so gorgeous to look at! :)

I really love how these nails turned out! They're so sparkly and cute. My friends all told me that they're very "me" :P But I want my birthday nails to represent me a bit more, I'd like to add more nail art of things that I love and stuff. This week will be very interesting seeing what i come up with :)

Please leave any suggestions or ideas in the comments to help me! :D
