NOTD #6 --- Halloween inspired

Hey everyone,

Halloween has been and gone but I thought I'd share with you what I painted and decorated my nails with .... Since halloween counts as an excuse to wear dark vampy colours including lots of black, red and purple, I thought that I'd paint my nails with a deep red and add some black accents.

(of course before anything I always paint my nails with a coat of Nail Envy to prevent staining)

Then.. I painted my nails with the actual colour I would like to use which was this 'Rimmel London Lycra nail polish in 391 Celebrity bash:

♥ ♥ ♥

Then I added some black beads to each cuticle:

(they're all flatback and very easy to apply using tweasers)

♥ ♥ ♥

And to seal it all in I used another layer of OPI Nail Envy and sped up the drying process using my OPI drip drying drops:

And then this is what my nails looked like:

(excuse the bit of nail varnish on my skin, this was taken straight after painting them)

I hope you enjoyed this blog post...as always I really enjoyed writing it and making it...stay tuned for the next post and check out my links below:

NOTD #5 - OPI Alcatraz...Rocks Liquid sand ♥

Hey everyone, 

Today I thought I would write a post and show you how my nails are painted and what I used. I haven't painted my nails in such a long time but painted them around about last week and I'm very impressed by the longevity of my nail varnish and how they haven't chipped yet which they usually do. I fancied wearing a darker nail polish for a change even though we are in the summer and dark nails aren't that popular right now.

(pictures above were found on google)

♥ ♥ ♥

Below are what my nails look like after about a weeks wear. 

♥ ♥ ♥

I have quite a few nail varnishes that I don't use that often... this being one of them. I honestly don't know why I don't use it more often because I love the colour and the texture is very unique. 

If you were wondering... I got this as a Christmas present and it's from OPI... called 'Alcatraz...Rocks', its one of their liquid sand nail polishes. 

The texture of it once it has dried definitely feels although its been dipped in sand and is very rocky. I personally love this texture but if you didn't like it you could add a top coat which would even out this texture and create a smooth finish.

The colour of the nail varnish is also very pretty because in the sunlight as you can see to the left, their are tiny shimmers of blue and purple that look very pretty and make the dark nail varnish feminine. The colour itself is a mixture of many shimmers including gold, green and dark blue glitters. 

As mentioned before, this nail polish has really impressed me on how well it has lasted and not chipped. This may be due to it being a thicker texture but I would've thought that with bumps it would've chipped easier but that wasn't the case. 

I've looked up this nail polish online and you can get it for about £7 - £8 depending on which shop you are buying it from.

♥ ♥ ♥

Before I applied my nail varnish, I coated my nails with another nail polish from OPI which I have used for so long... their 'Nail Envy'.

Nail Envy acts as a food for your nails and hydrates them so any damage caused by removing old nail varnish is made healthy again. It also prevents nail polishes from staining and creates a smooth canvas for you to apply your colour on.

I've repurchased Nail Envy many times before and I got this one to the right from Christmas and it came in a set of three polishes. But you can buy it separately online or in shops for about £11 - £12. 

If you wanted to prevent nail polishes staining you could use any top coat or base coat that you have... it doesn't have to be expensive.

I hope you enjoyed this blog post... I'm really enjoying writing blog posts recently and changing the way I lay stuff out. Tweet me a picture of your nails at @fgeorgiaa or tell me below what you have on your nails at the moment...I would love to find some more nail polishes xx

NOTD collab with Beautyandkatie ♥

Hey everyone, 

So this is a really exciting post for me... its my first collab blog post!
And its with the very pretty Katie from beautyandkatie.blogspot.co.uk 

We've been planning to do a collab for a long time now and here's the day which we get to share it with you lot! So we thought we'd both do a NOTD collab and share what we are both wearing on our nails...

Onto my nails...

So i've been loving painting my nails with colours that I don't often use... like greys and brighter colours... The colour which I have used is by Nails Inc and it's called 'Baker Street'.

I also used my Seche Vite Top Coat to seal the nail polish to make them shiny and last longer. I definitely recommend using the Seche Vite Top Coat because it drys your nail varnish so quickly!

I hope you enjoyed seeing what I have on my nails and enjoyed the collab... if you want to see Katie's blog post... click here!

NOTD #4

Hey everyone, 

So I wasn't going to do a post today but I thought that I'd make one anyway to keep up with uploading daily...so in today's post, I'm going to show you my nails I painted for the week and what I used.

Lets get into it...

So this is what my nails looked like when they were done:

I always apply a base coat before any nail varnish, whatever the colour is so that it doesn't stain. I use OPI Nail Envy which gives a nice shine to your nails and also keeps then healthy because it 'feeds' them. 

 Then I applied 2 coats of the Kate Spade by Nails Inc nail polish in Uptown Glamour which is a lovely, metallic gold/brown colour. 

Then, I applied 2 coats of the OPI nail lacquer in Save Me to my ring finger over the top of the metallic gold/brown.

After all of this, I then applied the Seche Vite quick drying top coat to make the nail varnish last longer and to make them more shiny.

Thank you for reading, I hope that you enjoyed reading this post! :)

NOTD #2

Hey everyone, 

So sorry I haven't posted in a while but I've been so busy this week. If you want to keep up with what I am doing and when new posts will be up... be sure to follow my twitter:

twitter.com/fgeorgiaa

                                          

So I painted my nails with the Nails Inc - In Style Nail Polish in 'You're a Peach' Then for my ring finger, I used the small caviar beads out of a small duo from Ciate in 'Cookies and Cream'.

Although I enjoyed the look of the beads, they became a bit annoying to me and I eventually had to take them off.

Thank you for reading this post (sorry I haven't posted much)

NOTD #1 - Essie Mint Candy Apple + Little Silver Bows

Hey everyone,

So I posted a picture the other day on instagram of my nails and I thought that I would show you readers too in case you aren't following me on instagram. 

So this is what my left hand nails look like: 

I decided add a 3D silver bow on my left hand as I'm right-handed and wouldn't use my left as much so it would be less of a risk of it catching on something then coming off. 

The little bow which I used was from out of a little pack of bows that I think are from amazon or eBay but if you type in 'nail art bows', i'm sure they'll come up or ones similar:

These are the bows which I brought

I use my right hand more than my left, so I decided not to add a bow but use small strips of tape to add silver stripes down my ring finger. The silver nail polish which I used is called 'No Place Like Chrome' by Essie. 

This silver is the best nail polish I have ever owned! It dries within seconds and you only need 1 coat of the colour and your nails are done.

Thank you for reading, follow me for more blog posts to come and don't forget to check out my links below

New CID cosmetics I-polish in Peach Cobbler

Hello again,

So yesterday I painted my nails because I hate going a day without my nails being pretty and not plain. It took me a while to decide on which colour I wanted to paint my nails but in the end I chose this one:

New CID cosmetics i-polish in 'Peach Cobbler'

This is the top of the lid, i t has a button so that it can light up as shown in the picture below.

This is the small light that is lit when the button on lid is pressed

Finally, this is what my nails look like with the nail varnish on in natural lighting.

Check out my instagram where I post more picture like this: instagram.com/fgeorgiaa
