Queen of Hearts!

This past Friday was my university inter-departmental christmas party for all post-grads and staff. The party as a whole has a theme of films and each floor/department chooses a film to go as. My floor decided to go as Alice In Wonderland and I choose Queen of Hearts! I love fancy dress and obviously had to match my nails!

The polishes I used were Barry M - Matt White, Barry M - Gold Foil, W7 - Black and W7 - Pillar Box Red. I also used hex glitters from the Born Pretty Store. The details were created with a striper brush and a dotting tool and finished with two coats of Seche Vite.

Reverse Half Moons

I'M BACK!! I finally got my charger working, can I get a woop woop?! Oh how I've missed blogging. Seriously, felt like I'd lost a limb!

This is a mani I did for my first day on my masters course. I'd never done a reverse half moon but I really like how it turned out. This is one coat of Barry M Gold Foil and then two coats of strategically placed A-Engand St George (obsessed with this polish!) and I placed some Hex Glitters for a simple accent. I finished it with two coats of NYC In A New York Minute. I really like the colour combination on this one.

HOLLA! 

Apologies for my lack of posts this past week, I've been super busy decorating, preparing for my sisters return from America and it was my boyfriends birthday yesterday so I made him an awesome cake (pictures to follow!!)

I was ridiculously excited yesterday when my A-England St George from The Legend collection arrived and then my hex glitters from the Born Pretty Store came this morning so, naturally, I wanted to play with them both!

I thought I'd show you the awesomeness of St George on it's own. It's holographic; need I say more?! Definitely one of my faviorite polishes ever.

I then added the glitters, or qlequins as Sammy at the Nailasaurus calls them, to my ring finger using this tutorial by Sammy herself. It didn't work out as well as I'd hoped, it's very fiddly to get them in the perfect honeycomb shape but it's a funky look all the same. I topped the ring finger with Seche Vite to smooth it out.

And here is the amazing cake I spent 3 hours baking yesterday. There was even melted galaxy chocolate in the buttercream. Om nom nom!
