Flower, Rhinestone & Pearl Nail Decoration & Stamping Plate from Born Pretty Store

PRESS SAMPLE
Nail decorations are the perfect way to pep up your mani, to give them interest & make them beautiful.  So today I have a couple of manis to show you using 3D Flower Nail Decorations from Born Pretty Store.  There are 2 in the pack, I've used both on one hand but you could use one on each hand.  The pretty blue flowers have a gold centre and teamed with dark blue rhinestones and tiny pearls.  Set in gold tone with a curved back, they fit wonderfully to your nail.  I used top coat to attach them however nail glue will be a more secure option.
First mani on the left - a shimmery pale blue with white stamping using  Stamping Plate BP-L029 also from Born Pretty Store.  The second mani on the right is a super cute peach topped with blue confetti nail polish to match the colours in the nail decoration.
Check out my video below and onto the pics!!!!

Rosebud Nail Water Decals from Sparkly Nails

PRESS SAMPLE
Roses have been long used as symbols in a number of societies.  Roses are ancient symbols of love and beauty. "Rose" means pink or red in a variety of languages.  So while I don't have any fresh cut roses at home I'll wear them on my nails instead!   Today's mani is OPI You're So Vain-illa as the base and topped with Rosebud water decals from Sparkly Nails.  There are 20 decals in the pack in different shades of pink edged in white.
If you've not tried water decals before, give them a go, simply soak in a little water, remove from the backing paper, apply to your painted nails and seal with top coat - done!
If you love water decals as much as me, why not join the Facebook group I've just set up called Wonderful Water Decals.

Silver Sundial Nail Water Decals from Sparkly Nails

PRESS SAMPLE
A sundial is a device that tells the time of day by the apparent position of the Sun in the sky, but there's not much chance of a great deal of sunlight during our winter so I'll stick to a  wrist watch and decorating my nails with them instead.  So here's a couple of my manis using silver Sundial water decals from Sparkly Nails.  Over a purple base (OPI Funky Dunkey) I used sections of the Sundial at the base of my nail.  Over a cool grey base (Nails Inc The Thames) I used both complete and partial decals.  The silver Sundial water decals will look better over darker colours.
If you've not tried water decals before, give them a go, simply soak in a little water, remove from the backing paper, apply to your painted nails and seal with top coat - done!

Holo Comparison

Well the sun's out so I'm getting my holos on!  I wish I wore my holos more often as they are simply stunning, so I thought why not wear them all at once!  
 Above thumb to pinky, below left to right - China Glaze IDK, OPI DS Shimmer, OPI DS Amethyst, OPI DS Treasure with added Spectraflair, Nails Inc Royal Mews
The OPI polishes definitely have a bit of fire to them even without full on sunshine, the China Glaze & Nails Inc being slightly flat.  What's my favorite?  That's like asking a mother to choose her favorite child, you wouldn't would you?

OPI DS Amethyst

I got this beauty off Ebay a while ago but have never tried it out.  It's a used bottle of OPI DS Amethyst from their Designer range.  The seller didn't list the name and I just took a chance and bought it as I knew the designer range had silver caps.  I got a bargain and a result!!  Lovely lovely holoness!!  Stunning polish!  To the pics.......
 Above: using flash with my phone, gorgeous lilac amethyst!
 OPI DS Amethyst, an oldie but a goodie!

 Outside camera shots in the sun (it wasn't a particularly sunny day!)
You can't beat a holo on a sunny day, mesmerizing & addictive!

OPI Mariah Carey Liquid Sand Minis

I've just got this set from Buyapowa, it cost me less than a tenner including postage.  All four colours are gorgeous, a big thumbs up to OPI for this set.  With top coat they are super sparkly, my photos don't do them justice but take my word for it - gorgeous!  My fave is Get Your Number, mainly because I love this colour and I think is the sparkliest of them all.  To the pics.....

Without & With Topcoat

If you like your sparkles I highly recommend this set, and if you see it as a bargain on Buyapowa go for it!
