Sunset Gradient Nails

Hello lovely readers!

Tonight I have some pictures of a sunset gradient that I did. I felt like doing something simple and pretty and have always wanted to try a gradient with orange, pink and purple. It turned out well and I really like the end result!

I used 2 Heart nail polishes in Pansy Purple and Pretty Orange and OPI You Only Live Twice. They all have very similar shimmery finishes, so they blended quite well together. I decided to jazz them up a bit by adding a shower of glitter dots on 2 accent fingers.

Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure :)

And here's the video tutorial on this look! I can't seem to get my videos up on here, so I'll leave you the link to the video!

What do you think of this mani? Would you try it? Have you already tried it? Let me know below! Till the next post, take care :)

Neon Geometric Nails

Geewee it's been yonks since I've made a post! I apologise for my absence, but over the past month or 2, I've taken up a full time job (I am now working 6 days a week) and have had lots of events and things going on so I haven't kept up my blog for a while :( I will probably update a lot less often than I used to, but I will try my best.

Tonight I have just a simple and fun geometric nail art to show you. I only have one picture at the moment though, so I hope that will suffice! I also have some videos that I did some time ago that I haven't put on my blog yet, so I will do that soon.

I also have a picture tutorial for this nail look that I'll be uploading shortly to Cut Out + Keep, so keep an eye out for that! I will put the link up either here or on Facebook (or both).

By the way, for those who haven't seen my Facebook, I changed my nail shape! They were actually a lot longer than this before, so I filed them down to this length. I think I will keep this shape for a bit - I quite like it!


That's all from me tonight. Also, I just wanted to say thank you to all my readers for your support! I love you all <3

Zoya Pixiedust Gradients

Hello readers!

I have a quick post for today featuring some of Zoya's Pixiedust polishes :) I've just used some of the colours to create a simple gradient look and they're really just something simple and pretty to wear for a lazy day. The texture of the polishes also makes it easy to blend the colours together using just the brush from the bottle, which is a bonus for those who struggle with nail art. I also have a quick tutorial for it as well that i'll upload a little later.

Enough chit chat, just gonna put the 2 pictures up now!

Godiva (beige), Nyx (blue) & Vespa (green) 

Dahlia (black) & Chyna (red)

What do you think of these simple gradients? Let me know in the comments below :)

Till the next post, takecare!

Dip & Twist Nail Polish Remover Review

Hi everyone!

I know it's been a while. I keep getting busier all the time and too flat out to do anything after so I apologise for going AWOL for so long. I actually did take pictures of nail art I did, but never got around to posting them, so I will slowly put them up to show you all.

I have a quick post today, featuring a product review video. Some of you might think it's old, new, fascinating or weird, but I'll let you be the judge of that. All in all, I think the product is great and convenient :)

I hope you enjoy this review. I will be back with a quick tutorial on a simple, but easy look with Zoya's new collection Pixiedust! Till then, takecare!

Nails Inc. Leather & Skulls Nail Kit

Hi everyone!

I've been missing for a while, sad to say I've been working at least 5 days over the past week and have had so many things on and I was just on holiday last week and got back a few days ago - PHWOAR!

Anyways, tonight I have a Nails Inc. nail kit to show you today. A lovely lady by the name of Laura contacted me and sent me this kit to try out and I was pretty excited because it included a leather effect nail polish and some cute metal skull embellishments!

I'll leave a picture of the kit below, just for your viewing pleasure. Keep in mind that this might be a lengthy post - with pictures of course :)

Clearly, I used the kit before getting pictures of it first! 

Kit comes with a leather effect polish, cuticle/orange stick, nail glue and 4 metal skull embellishments

Here are some pictures of the polish and embellishment on.

I was quite impressed with this kit, pretty much because I thought it was way cool. The formula of the nail polish was sandy (when brushing the stem of the brush against the bottle), but it applies smooth and glossy and dries to a gritty, matte finish. It covers well in just 2 coats as well. No topcoat was applied, so that the intended effect shows through. I wish the finish was a little more satin, cause when it's really matte, it reminds me of the plastic on computer chairs. Nevertheless, still a cool effect and cool piece of bling to stick on my thumb! The skull also has little rhinestones on it - even more love!


I decided to take this look a step further and turned them into rock nails :) Here are some pictures,

I think the end result is so edgy and fun! What do you think? Let me know in the comments below!

If you would like to get your hands on the Nails Inc Leather Bling it on Set, you can purchase them from Littlewoods for  £24.



Till the next post,

Linda

Valentines Day Heart Ruffian Nails

Hey hey! I have my very first Valentines Day nail art for you and many more to come hopefully!

I decided to start off with something simple and while doing so, I really wanted to do something with a heart shape in it first without using the whole heart. I initially thought a french, but then decided on doing something a little less obvious and went for the heart ruffian instead! I'm not sure if it has been done before or not, I honestly have not checked, but it was one of the things that came to mind and would be great for any beginners of nail art to try out :)

I did these nails with just the brushes of the nail polish bottle, so anyone can do this! I may make a tutorial on it, but let me know if I should?

Of course, I used the traditional V day colours for this mani. All the colours used were from OPI - the red is Big Apple Red, the white is Alpine Snow and the pink is Pink Friday. I will however, be trying to find some unconventional ideas for the later nail looks.

Sorry for the gross looking cuticles! Forgot to oil them up :( 

Don't they also look like little moustaches? hee hee hee

So what do you think of this mani? Let me know in the comments below! If you have started trying out nail designs for Valentines, link me, I'd love to see them :)

Till the next post, takecare!
