Nail Of The Day – Rimmel 60 Seconds Rapid Ruby, Revlon Top Speed 330 Emerald & Orly Hair Band

Hi there! I have another Nail Of The Day post for you today! 🙂

For this mani I painted my nails with Rimmel 60 Seconds 320 Rapid Ruby (2 coats) and Revlon Top Speed 330 Emerald (2 coats). These two polishes are pretty much one-coaters. And the colours are perfect for all kinds of Christmas-themed manis!

The glitter top coat I used is the one and only Orly Hair Band. This top coat is insanely pretty and sparkly. I love how dense it is. And guess what, I only applied 1 coat. Orly did a truly amazing job with this top coat.

This is a mani I did before. It’s super easy to do and it always looks amazing.

Have you done any Christmas manis already? Please do let me know via the comments. And thanks for stopping by!

Nail Of The Day – Invogue Hi Res Glitter Desire, Rimmel Lycra Pro 431 Stormy Skies & Stamping With Pueen 111

Hi there! Since this week is Nail Week, here’s another Nail Of The Day post. 🙂

For this mani I painted my nails with a Invogue Hi Res Glitter Desire (2 coats, pinkies and ring fingers) and Rimmel Lycra Pro 431 Stormy Skies (2 coats as well, middle and index fingers, thumbs).

For the images I used Orly Snow Cone and Pueen‘s 111 plate, which is part of Pueen‘s super gorgeous Make Your Day stamping plate collection.

I think this mani looked alright. It was definitely not bad, but I think it was nothing special.

Nail Of The Day – Revlon Colorstay 290 Midnight & Stamping With MoYou London Animals 05

Hi there! I have a Nail Of The Day post for you today. 🙂

For this mani I painted my nails with Revlon Colorstay 290 Midnight (2 coats). I love this polish (I love quite a few Revlon Colorstay polishes because they’re awesome).

I used my (relatively new) MoYou London Animals 05 plate – which I bought because it has a number of marine images. I own several stamping plates with marine images, and I’ve done quite a few marine manis over the years – and I know I’ll be doing many more!

The light blue polish I stamped with is Orly Snow Cone. It’s not a stamping polish, but it stamps perfectly. 🙂

Nail Of The Day – Orly Basket Case & Stamping With Pueen 116 + 117

Hi there! Here’s another mani I did a few weeks ago.

For this mani I painted my nails with Orly Basket Case (2 coats). I love this polish. The colour is gorgeous, and the formula is absolutely perfect.

For the images I used 2 stamping plates – Pueen 116 (thumbs, index and middle fingers) and Pueen 117 (ring fingers, pinkies). These 2 stamping plates are part of Pueen‘s super cute Make Your Day stamping plate collection.

The black polish I stamped with is Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro 430 Black Satin.

I didn’t love this mani, but it was a nice enough filler mani for a few days.

Nail Of The Day – Astor Fashion Studio 002 Cotton Candy, Orly Hair Band, Water Decals & Stamping With Pueen 103

Hi there! Today’s post is about a mani I did a few weeks ago.

For this mani I painted my nails with Astor Fashion Studio 002 Cotton Candy (2 coats, thumbs, index and middle fingers).

This is an OK nail polish. I decided to use it for this mani because the bottle is more than half-empty, and I’m thinking I might actually finish this polish!

I used Pueen‘s 103 plate (which is part of Pueen‘s Make Your Day stamping plate collection) and Revlon Colorstay 270 Stiletto for the images.

I used floral water decals for my ring fingers and pinkies, and I painted 1 coat of Orly Hair Band over them.

I didn’t love the mani, but I did like it. This was a nicer than expected filler mani. 🙂

Nail Of The Day – Christmas Nail Ideas / Revlon Colorstay 180 Indigo Night & Stamping

Hi there! Today’s nail post is about my interpretation of a blue and silver winter mani.

For this look I painted my nails with Revlon Colorstay 180 Indigo Night (2 coats).

I used my unbranded Christmas-themed stamping plate and 2 regular polishes (Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro 280 Pure Silver and Orly Snow Cone) to stamp wintry images onto my nails.

I really love this mani! Blue and silver look great together, and the double-stamped images look amazing!

How do you like this mani? Feel free to get in touch via the comments. And thanks for stopping by! 🙂

Nail Of The Day – Orly Terracotta & Stamping With Pueen 72

Hi there! Today’s post is about a mani I did this summer (but forgot to show you…). Oops!

For this mani I painted my nails with Orly Terracotta (2 coats). I don’t know why they called this shade Terracotta. It’s a bright and beautiful watermelon-red.

I wanted to stamp, and I chose one of my favourite stamping plates – Pueen‘s 72 plate which is part of Pueen‘s Stamping Buffet collection. The polish I stamped with is MoYou London‘s Cancun Coral.

I didn’t love the mani because I’m really not a big fan of orange or red nails, but I think it looked nice and summery.

Nail Of The Day – Orly Basket Case & Stamping With MoYou London Illusion 09

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

For this mani I painted my nails with Orly Basket Case (2 coats).

I love this polish. The colour is gorgeous, the formula is a dream, and the polish dries reasonably quickly. Great stuff, Orly!

I used my new MoYou London Illusion 09 stamping plate and Revlon Colorstay 270 Stiletto for the images.

I really like the look of this mani. This stamping plate wasn’t my first choice, but now I’m glad I bought it. I can’t wait to use this stamping plate again!

Nail Of The Day – Orly Basket Case & Stamping With Pueen 56

HI there! Happy Saturday! I’ve got another Nail Of The Day post for you today. 🙂

For this simple mani I painted my nails with Orly Basket Case (2 coats). I love this polish. The colour is simply gorgeous, and the formula is just perfect.

For the stamping bit I chose Pueen‘s 56 plate (which is part of Pueen‘s Stamping Buffet collection). This is one of a number of stamping plates that I’ve never used, even though it’s been in my stash for ages.

The black polish I stamped with is a home-made “stamping” polish.

I didn’t like the mani because I didn’t like the images. I might give this stamping plate another try, or I might just give it away.

Nail Of The Day – Sinful Colors Blue La La, Revlon 044 Blue Lagoon, Maybelline Colorshow 654 Superpower Blue & Stamping With MoYou London Doodles 07

Hi there! I’ve got a Nail Of The Day post for you today. And it’s another marine mani!

For this mani I painted my nails with Sinful Colors Blue La La (2 coats, pinkies, middle fingers), Revlon 044 Blue Lagoon (2 coats, ring fingers), and Maybelline Colorshow 654 Superpower Blue (2 coats, index fingers, thumbs).

I used MoYou London‘s super cute Doodles 07 stamping plate.

As almost always, I used drugstore polishes as my stamping polishes: Maybelline Colorshow 654 Superpower Blue (pinkies, middle fingers), Orly Snow Cone (index fingers, thumbs), and Revlon 902 Craving Coral (ring fingers).

I like this mani. It’s not my best marine mani, but it looks cute, so what’s not to like? Do you like marine manis? Feel free to get in touch.
