Emily de Molly 'LE 38' Swatch & Review

Hello!

Today I have the stunning Emily de Molly 'LE 38' to show you.



I couldn't take my eyes off my nails the week I wore this. It's a bright blurple with strong red shimmer which can look pink at some angles.



This was 3 coats plus a coat of HK Girl Top Coat. Application was dreamy.




Thanks for visiting,

Femme Fatale 'Seeing Your Soul' Swatch & Review

Hello!

Today I've got the Femme Fatale Fiends November 2016 exclusive 'Seeing Your Soul' to show you,




'Seeing Your Soul' is a pink leaning beige with yellow, turquoise, pink and white hex glitters and gold holo microglitter. I don't have anything else like this in my collection! Super unique! 




This was 3 coats plus a coat of HK Girl Top Coat. Application was easy and the glitters didn't need fishing out.

Femme Fatale 'The Egotrip' Swatch & Review

Hello!

So I thought it was about time I dusted off this blog and got around to getting some photos and posts up for you all!

I've had a super busy time away, I graduated & moved house!

Honestly, I think it did me some good to take some time off so I can hopefully enjoy blogging again.

I've still been painting my nails & taking pictures so there's a whole year of nails to catch up on!

I've got the beautiful Femme Fatale 'The Egotrip' to show you today which has actually been sitting in my drafts since the last time I posted.




'The Egotrip' was part of the 'Welcome to Mars' collection from Femme Fatale and although it was released a while ago it is currently available on their site so go go go if you still need it as it won't be restocked.





This is a beautiful pink, green gold shifting flakie polish with gold microglitter and the most beautiful finish. This was 3 thin coats plus top coat. As it's a clear based polish you can also use it as a topper. 3 coats was easily full opacity on me. No problem with application or removal.




So shifty!

Femme Fatale 'Belle' & 'An Immortal Soul' Beauty & the Beast Nails

Hello!

Today I've got some nails I did to celebrate the release of the new Beauty & the Beast film to show you.




I used Femme Fatale 'Belle' (as this polish was made for this design) from the Enchanted Fables collection. It's a gorgeous tan brown polish with heaps of gold shimmer. I paired it with an accent nail of Femme Fatale 'An Immortal Soul' from The Little Mermaid collection. This is a stunning gold glitter with all manner of gold glitter & shimmer with a hint of copper. I used three easy coats for both polishes.




I couldn't have a Beauty & the Beast mani without some roses! I used the Color Club 'Roses' stamping plate with Color Alike 'Red Dragon' stamping polish and my Fab Ur Nails Jumbo Stamper. No problems with pick up etc... I topped it all off with a coat of HK Girl.





I love these nails and I loved the film as well!

Everything I used for these nails is available on Rainbow Connection UK right now!

'Overwatch' Tracer inspired Nail Art

Hello!

Today I've got some inspired nail art to show you.

                                                 

                                           

'Overwatch' is a first person shooter game by Blizzard that lets you play colourful characters and run around shooting stuff. Much fun! I've been super addicted to it for the last few months and Blizzard run events for specific times of the year like Christmas and Halloween etc... This year they did a Chinese new year event and released lots of new in game items for characters to wear and say etc... These nails were inspired by this gorgeous skin they created for a character called Tracer.

  
It's matte black with metallic roses on.

For these nails I used a base of Models Own 'Black Swirl'. This a a metallic matte black polish and was 2 super easy coats. Very fast drying as well!



For the stamping I used the Color Club Rose Stamping Plate, Color Alike 'Cherry Lollipop' stamping polish and my Fab Ur Nails Jumbo Stamper. I was a little worried about the plate but it worked perfectly!



I loved these nails. Just so pretty and they came out just how I envisioned them.

Thanks for visiting,

Have a lovely day,
