Nail Of The Day – Revlon Brilliant Strength 190 Entice & Stamping With Pueen 74

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

For this mani I painted my nails with Revlon Brilliant Strength 190 Entice (2 easy coats). I love this polish. It’s almost a one-coater (which is very unusual for such a light colour), and I love the amazing self-levelling formula.

For the images I used my Pueen 74 plate (which is part of Pueen‘s Buffet Leisure stamping plate collection). This is one of my favourite stamping plates. I use it quite often!

The 2 polishes I stamped with are the wonderful Revlon Colorstay 270 Stiletto (black) and Revlon Brilliant Strength 110 Hypnotize (gold).

Nail Of The Day – Revlon 510 Sassy & Stamping With Pueen 74

Hi there! Today’s post is about a simple mani I did very recently. 🙂

For this mani I painted my nails with Revlon 510 Sassy (2 coats). This polish is almost a one-coater, and it dries reasonably quickly. I like it!

I thought the green base would be great for a very early Halloween mani, but I decided to go with a simple floral pattern instead.

I used Pueen‘s 74 stamping plate (which is part of Pueen‘s Buffet Leisure stamping plate collection).

The black polish I stamped with is Rimmel 60 Seconds 820 Hot Black To Go.

Nail Of The Day – Models Own Diamond Luxe Pear Purple & Stamping With Pueen 74

Hi there! This week’s going to be NAIL WEEK. Today’s post is about a mani I did a few months ago. 🙂

For this mani I painted my nails with Models Own Diamond Luxe Pear Purple (2 coats). This is a beautiful polish. It’s purple (which my favourite nail colour), and it’s bursting with micro-shimmer. I love it!

Whilst the plain purple nails looked great on their own, I decided to stamp. I used Pueen‘s 74 plate (which is part of Pueen‘s Buffet Leisure stamping plate collection).

I don’t remember which nail polish I stamped with, but it was a regular (and random) non-stamping polish. 🙂

Nail Of The Day – Rimmel Lycra Pro 311 Spring Yellow, Max Factor Glossfinity 95 Flaming Pink, Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro 370 Wild Orchid & Stamping With Pueen 74

Hi there! Nail Week continues, so I have another short Nail Of The Day post for you today. 🙂

For this mani I painted my nails with Rimmel Lycra Pro 311 Spring Yellow (2 coats). This isn’t the greatest yellow nail polish because it’s quite thin.

I know from experience that, with this polish, 4 coats aren’t enough for an opaque finish. So this time I thought I’d do some easy nail art.

I used a small piece of a make-up sponge to apply random blobs of colour polish. I used Max Factor Glossfinity 95 Flaming Pink and Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro 370 Wild Orchid.

Then I used Pueen‘s 74 plate (which is part of Pueen‘s Buffet Leisure stamping plate collection) and a home-made black “stamping” polish for the images.

I really liked this mani. It was happy and cololurful and definitely something else! Do you like yellow nail polish? Feel free to comment. And thanks for reading!

Nail Of The Day – Sinful Colors Blue Lala, Bourjois Techno Bar A Tokyo & Stamping With Pueen 74

Hi there! Let me show you another mani I did not too long ago!

For this mani I painted my nails with Sinful Colors Blue La La (2 coats). I really love this polish. The formula is great, the polish dries quickly, and the colour is stunning!

I wanted a sparkly mani, so I top-coated my nails with Bourjois Techno Bar A Tokyo 44 (1 coat). This top coat is a pale (almost transparent) light blue polish packed with iridescent hex glitter. 🙂

And then I stamped! I used Pueen‘s 74 plate (which is part of Pueen‘s Buffet Leisure collection) and a home-made black polish.

I didn’t love this mani, but I think it looked alright. Do you like blue nails? What colour are your nails right now? Feel free to comment. And thanks for reading!

Nail Of The Day – Astor Fashion Studio Acid Drop & Stamping With Pueen 74

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

For this mani I painted my nails with Astor Fashion Studio 006 Acid Drop (2 coats).

I like this polish! The cucumber shade looks fresh (great for spring and summer manis), and I like the micro-shimmer.

I also think this is a good polish. It dries quickly and it’s perfect in 2 coats – I didn’t expect this because of the light colour, but I’m not complaining. 😉

I stamped with Rimmel Salon Pro 361 Acid House. And the stamping plate I used is Pueen‘s 74 plate (which is part of Pueen‘s Buffet Leisure collection.

I think this mani looks alright. The images on the index and ring fingers didn’t stamp perfectly (it’s the same on my left hand). But all in all, I think this is a nice little mani that’s perfect to welcome spring!

What do you think of green manis? Feel free to comment. And thanks for reading!

Nail Of The Day – Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro 430 Black Satin, Barry M Bubblegum, MUA Whitewash & Revlon Colorstay 170 Coastal Surf / A-Z Nail Art Challenge F – Fuzzy Topper

Hi there! Today’s post is about the first mani I did for the A-Z Nail Art Challenge. This challenge is called Fuzzy Topper. Cute, eh?

I have quite a few ‘fuzzy toppers’. But, unfortunately, I rarely use them. So this challenge provides the perfect opportunity to sport one of those fuzzy toppers!

And these are the nail polishes that I used:
Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro 430 Black Satin (base colour, pinkies, index fingers, thumbs),
Barry M Bubblegum (fuzzy topper),
MUA Whitewash (base colour, ring fingers),
Revlon Colorstay 170 Coastal Surf (base colour, middle fingers).

I also stamped! I chose an ornamental floral image for my middle and ring fingers. The stamping plate I used is Pueen’s 74 plate (which is part of Pueen’s Buffet Leisure collection). The black polish I stamped with is Rimmel I ♥ Lasting Finish 080 Black Cab.

How do you like this mani? I think it looks quite nice. And I think I did a good job with these 3 colours! Feel free to comment if you want to. And thanks for stopping by!

Nail Of The Day – Astor Fashion Studio 138 & Stamping With Pueen 74

Hi there! Today’s post is about a new version of a mani I did not too long ago.

For this mani I painted my nails with Astor Fashion Studio 138. I don’t like this base colour, but the bottle is almost empty (!), so I’m trying to finish it. However, I might have a backup…

Anyhoo… today I tried to do something new – double stamping. So I stamped 2 layers of colour onto my base colour. I used Rimmel 60 Seconds 820 Hot Black To Go and Revlon Parfumerie Beachy.

The stamping plate I used is Pueen’s 74 plate which is part of Pueen’s Buffet Leisure stamping collection.

I think the double stamping effect is very subtle – that’s because Beachy is a rather subtle golden shade. However, I’m not disappointed. I think this double-stamped mani turned out quite alright for a first attempt. 🙂

Nail Of The Day – Astor Fashion Studio 138 & Stamping With Pueen 74

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

For this mani I painted my nails with Astor Fashion Studio 138. Since orange is one of my least favourite nail colours, I decided to stamp.

I used Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro 430 Black Satin as my stamping polish.

The images are from Pueen’s 74 plate (which is part of Pueen’s Buffet Leisure collection).

If you’d like to know more about stamping, I’ve written an entire tutorial which covers everything I wish I had known when I started stamping. 🙂

Nail Of The Day – Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Magenta Moves & Stamping With Pueen 74

Hi there! I’ve got a nail post for you today. 🙂

For this mani I painted my nails with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Magenta Moves (2 coats).

I love this polish. It’s almost a one-coater, it dries really fast, and the colour pops!

Initially I wanted to do a glitter mani, but then I opted for stamping.

I chose a remotely floral image from Pueen’s 74 plate (which is part of Pueen’s Buffet Leisure collection).

The white polish I stamped with is Essence’s fantastic white stamping polish (they call it stampy polish).

I think this mani looks quite nice. Sure, I could have taken a little more care to ensure the images would go on perfectly. But these little flaws are only visible in the photo. In real life no one noticed. 🙂
