Nail Of The Day – Rimmel 60 Seconds 503 Mind The Gap Victoria & Stamping With Nicole Diary 078

Hi there! Today’s post is a Nail Of The Day post.

For this mani I painted my nails with Rimmel 60 Seconds 503 Mind The Gap Victoria (2 coats). This is one of the best light blue polishes I’ve ever seen. It’s stunning! I’m more than halfway through this bottle, and the polish is getting thicker, but I think I have another bottle – well, at least I hope so!

For the images I used my Nicole Diary-078 stamping plate. The black polish I stamped with is Revlon Colorstay 270 Stiletto.

The mani didn’t look as nice as I hoped. The kitties are cute, but not all images came out great. Ah well…

Nail Of The Day – Revlon Colorstay 100 Buttercup & Stamping With Bundle Monster BM-S162 / Nail Art Challenge #27 Inspired By Artwork

Hi there! Today’s post is about a recent mani I did for the 31 Days Nail Art Challenge. With this mani I’ve completed challenge #27 Inspired By Artwork!

The artwork in question is the black cats print on the pale yellow scarf that one of my co-workers has been wearing for quite some time.

For this mani I painted my nails with Revlon Colorstay 100 Buttercup (2 coats). I don’t love this colour, but it came in handy for this mani!

The stamping plate I used is Bundle Monster’s BM-S162 plate (which is part of Bundle Monster’s Fuzzy and Ferocious collection).

The black stamping polish (not a real stamping polish) is Rimmel 60 Seconds 820 Hot Black To Go.

I didn’t like this mani at all. I rushed it, and it shows. I wore this mani for one day only. However, I’m glad I’ve completed the dreaded ‘artwork challenge’. Yay! 🙂

Nail Of The Day – Cat Nails Featuring Essence, Revlon & Bundle Monster / Nail Art Challenge #7 Black & White Nails

Hi there! Last month I told you I wanted to do the 31 Days Nail Art Challenge – but on my own terms. And I said I wanted to do a few Halloween-themed manis.

So today’s mani is my attempt at Black & White nails (Nail Art Challenge #7) with a touch of Halloween – black cats! 🙂

For this mani I painted my nails with Essence The Gel Nail Polish 33 Wild White Days (two coats).

The cat image is one of my favourites. It’s on Bundle Monster’s BM-S162 plate (which is part of the Fuzzy And Ferocious collection).

The black polish I used to stamp is Revlon Colorstay 270 Stiletto.

I think this mani is really cute. I love it. Seriously, how cute are these black cats? Please feel free to let me know what you think. And thanks for reading!

Nail Of The Day – Rimmel Lycra Pro 297 Show Off & Stamping With Bundle Monster BM S161 & BM S162 (Partial Nail Fail)

Hi there! Today’s nail of the day post is about the mani I did the other day. And let me say it right away – it’s a partial nail fail.

But let’s start from the beginning! I painted my nails with Rimmel Lycra Pro 297 Show Off (two coats).

I wanted cat nails, so I chose two cat-themed stamping plates – Bundle Monster BM S161 and BM S162.

The images on the ring finger and middle finger are from the BM S161 plate – and I think these worked out fine.

The all-over black cats image on the pinky and index finger is from the BM S162 plate. The image is cute but it came out creepy. 😦

I really should have coloured in the cat’s eyes on the stamper… and this is what I’m going to do when I do the next cat mani. So whilst this mani didn’t look as I wanted it to, I know what to do next time.

Thank you for stopping by!
