Nail Of The Day – MUA MakeUp Academy U ROK & Stamping With Pueen 72

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

For this mani I painted my nails with MUA MakeUp Academy U ROK (2 coats). This is a good quality polish. It dries quickly, and the formula is great too.

For the images I used a random black nail polish and my Pueen 72 stamping plate (which is part of Pueen‘s amazing Stamping Buffet collection).

I really liked this mani. I love this beautiful shade of purple, and this Pueen stamping plate is one of favourites too.

Nail Of The Day – Sally Hansen Sugar Coat 260 Candy Corn, Rita Ora 860 Bestival Blue & Stamping With Pueen 51

Hi there! Since this week is Nail Week, today’s post is a Nail Of The Day post.

For this mani I painted my nails with Sally Hansen Sugar Coat 260 Candy Corn (2 coats, pinkies and ring fingers) and Rimmel Rita Ora 860 Bestival Blue (2 coats, middle and index fingers, thumbs).

For the images I used my Pueen 51 stamping plate (which is part of Pueen‘s Stamping Buffet collection) and the one and only Revlon Colorstay 270 Stiletto – which is my all-time favourite black nail polish.

I had no expectations for this mani, but I ended up liking it.

Nail Of The Day – Models Own Diamond Luxe Pear Purple & Stamping With Pueen 120

Hi there! I have another mani for you today – and it’s a rather unspectacular one. Yes, it’s a filler mani!

Anyhoo… for this mani I painted my nails with Models Own Diamond Luxe Pear Purple (2 coats). I love this polish. Beautiful colour, great quality… what’s not to love?

For the images I used Revlon Colorstay 270 Stiletto and Pueen‘s 120 plate (which is part of Pueen‘s Make Your Day stamping plate set). I’ve never used this stamping plate before – I didn’t care for any of the images on it. And I think it might be a while until I use this stamping plate again!

Nail Of The Day – Barry M Molten Metal Holographic Rocket & Stamping With Pueen 77

Hi there! Today’s post is about a mani I did a little while ago.

For this mani I painted my nails with Barry M Molten Metal Holographic Rocket (3 coats, but 2 would have been fine too).

For the images I used the one and only Revlon Colorstay 270 Stiletto and Pueen‘s 77 stamping plate (which is part of Pueen‘s beautiful Buffet Leisure stamping plate collection).

I really liked how this mani turned out. In real life, it looked much better than in the photo, but I chose this photo to show off the beautiful holo effect of the Barry M polish. 🙂

Nail Of The Day – NYC In A Minute 221 Spring Street & Stamping With Pueen 96

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

For this mani I painted my nails with NYC In A Minute 221 Spring Street (2 coats). This polish is almost a one-coater, and it dries reasonably quickly. I don’t love the colour, but I often use this polish for plain and simple manis (no stamping, no glitter, etc.), and I’ve noticed the bottle is almost empty. I think I should be able to get another mani out of it. But let’s see…

This time I decided to stamp, and I opted for the seashell pattern from Pueen‘s 96 plate (which is part of Pueen‘s Buffet Leisure stamping plate collection). The blue polish I stamped with is Essence Colour Boost 11 Instant Match.

I liked this mani. It wasn’t the most spectacular look, but I liked the coral and blue colour combo, and I’m glad I decided to stamp. What colour nail polish are you wearing at the moment? Feel free to comment. And thanks for stopping by! 🙂

Nail Of The Day – Models Own Sarong Wrap & Stamping With Pueen 83 (Nail Fail)

Hi there! Nail Week is still on, so here’s another mani I did some time ago.

For this mani I painted my nails with Primark‘s PS… Snow White nail polish (1 coat). Once the white base had dried, it was time for Models Own Sarong Wrap (2 coats). Sarong Wrap is a low-quality polish. It’s terribly thin, and I don’t think I would have gotten much (or any) joy from it had I not started with a white base.

Anyhoo… I thought that light pink accents would look nice, so I used a small piece of a makeup sponge to apply pink polish to my nails. Well, it didn’t look great, but I didn’t have the time to correct the mistake, so I just left it as it was.

Then I stamped! I used Pueen‘s 83 plate (which is part of Pueen‘s Buffet Leisure collection) and Revlon Top Speed 880 Black Star.
