Nail Of The Day – Sally Hansen Sonic Bloom & Gosh Cracked Nail Lacquer 04 Gold (Nail Fail)

Hi there! Today’s post is a Nail Of The Day post. And it’s also a Nail Fail.

For this mani I painted my nails with Sally Hansen Sonic Bloom (1 coat). This polish is a true one-coater. It’s amazing!

The crackle polish I used is Gosh Cracked Nail Lacquer 04 Gold. This crackle polish is awful! I applied it well over an hour after I had applied the base colour.

The base colour was 100% dry. However, the crackle polish still managed to somehow suck some of the base colour off of my nails, leaving my nails with “bald spots”. I’m sure you can tell that I was not impressed!

I’m not going to use this crackle top coat again. I have another one from the same brand, but I’m not really looking forward to giving that one a try!

Nail Of The Day – Gosh 549 Holographic Hero & Stamping With Pueen 76 / A-Z Nail Art Challenge H-Holo

Hi there! I’ve got a Nail Of The Day post for you today.

This mani is another one that I did for the A-Z Nail Art Challenge. And I’m filing this one under H – Holo.

For this mani I painted my nails with Gosh 549 Holographic Hero (2 coats). This holo polish is not great, but holo polishes aren’t readily available in the UK, so I’m actually happy to have this one (and several back-up bottles) in my stash.

I also did a little stamping – and I used Pueen’s 76 plate (which is part of Pueen’s Buffet Leisure collection) and Rimmel 60 Seconds 820 Hot Black To Go for that. 🙂

I think this mani looks quite nice. Do you agree? Feel free to comment. And thanks for reading!

Nail Of The Day – Gosh 549 Holographic Hero & Stamping With Pueen 72

Hi there! Today’s post is another nail post.

I didn’t know what to do with my nails the other day (What else is new…?!).

I wasn’t in the mood for bold colours, pastels or glitter. So in the end I decided to paint my nails with Gosh 549 Holographic Hero (2 coats).

I really like this polish. It dries quickly and it looks very pretty.

Sure, it would look even prettier on a sunny day, but it’s winter, and (unfortunately) there’s nothing I can do about the weather.

And I didn’t have the time or energy to think up a complicated mani, so I went for a super easy stamping mani.

The floral images are from Pueen’s 72 plate (which is part of Pueen’s Stamping Buffet collection). And the black polish I stamped with is Revlon Colorstay 270 Stiletto.

I think this mani turned out OK. Do you agree? Feel free to get in touch. And thanks for stopping by! 🙂

Nail Of The Day – Gosh 549 Holographic Hero & Stamping with Pueen 55

Hi there! I’ve been sporting really boring manis for the past week. Nothing worth mentioning.

And, of course, I got bored of those plain manis. So I grabbed a holo polish, Gosh 549 Holographic Hero, and my stamping kit.

I applied two coats of Holographic Hero. The polish dried quickly and was opaque in two coats. It’s not the strongest holo polish out there, but I only paid £1.99 for it, so I won’t complain.

Then I chose a stamping plate – Pueen 55 from Pueen’s Stamping Buffet. I opted for the leafy image and stamped it on with Revlon Colorstay Stiletto. I think this mani turned out alright. What do you think? 🙂
