Pretty bee's and flowers NOTD

Yet another NOTD using the amazing Dashica plate I borrowed from my friend. I am totally making the most of it before I have to give it back!

I added a coat of the beautiful HITS Hefesto holographic topcoat instead of my usual Seche Vite although you can barely see the sparkle. It was so much more noticeable in real life!

Pretty pastel roses

I have no idea why this is the first time I have tried stamping with more than one colour but it wont be the last as I love the effect. I stamped with very old Models Own polishes that are not the most opaque but I think this kind of subtlety really suits the design :)

What do you think?

Super quick Australia Day nails

 Hi everyone :) I did these nails tonight and as I took them under my crappy living room lights they have turned out rather orange toned. Can you even tell that grey nail is meant to be a Koala? Oh and the flag is full of fail :P The stamped leaves turned out okay-ish though!

Super Girly Cinnamoroll nails :)


I love the Sanrio nail art plate I got from Beautiful Scratchers

After I did Charmmy Kitty nails I knew I had to do Cinnamoroll next as it has been a while since I did Cinnamoroll nails :) These ones are much better than the freehand ones I did ages ago!

Angry birds fan?


A girl in the Adventures in Stamping Facebook group posted a link to this last night and I just had to share it with you....

It is an angry birds stamping plate! I have seen a plate with one angry birds character on it but this one is all angry birds designs:

(click picture to enlarge)

Isn't it super cute? 

It is from ebay selleIxorapink whom I blogged about a while back as I previously purchased this plate from them. I promise to do a NOTD with plate A48 really soon! **makes note to self***

This angry birds plate costs $4.95 with $1.00 shipping which is just a touch under £4.00. I did of course snap it up seconds after the link was posted as I am a huge angry birds fan. Can't wait till it arrives!

Oh and I should also add that the Adventures in Stamping Facebook group is really worth joining if you are a fan of stamping nail art. There is lots of useful information to be found on the latest plates and what normal polishes work for stamping. 

Hope you are all having a great week :)

Glitter Gal Marine Blue & New Hello Kitty nail art plate KD1

This my second plate from this  ebay seller based in Hong Kong. I would 100% recommend this ebay store as they have a really good selection of unusual and kawaii plates and they are super cheap!

I got this one, plate KD1

(click picture to enlarge)

This plate costs £3.77 and shipping to the UK was free.

The minute I spotted the squirrel I knew I had to have it!

Here are the designs from the plate swatched on some paper:

Here is a NOTD using this plate and my new lovely Glitter Gal 'Marine Blue' holographic polish:

NOTD using Dashica Big SdP M & Mavala Waikiki Orange


Another NOTD using my friends beautiful Dashica nail art plate.

This is another Mavala polish from my recent haul and I adore it. 

It was almost opaque in 1 and the colour was so glossy even before I added Seche Vite.

Damn rabbit hairs get everywhere sorry! :P

Nude holographic nails & Fox NOTD

I recently got some Mavala polishes and decided I wanted to try the lovely nude 'vanilla' polish first and use the amazing Hits 'Hefesto' holographic topcoat as I have never seen a nude holographic polish.

I took some pictures of it but to be honest my pictures don't capture the beautiful holographic effect which reminds me of a milky opal gemstone.

As my pictures failed to capture its sparkle I decided to take a quick video to show you just how lovely this nude & holographic topcoat polish combination is:



This is the first time I have done this......would you like to see this on future posts?

And now on to the NOTD I did attempting to copy the fox and leaf design on the lovely Topshop PJ's I got for Christmas. My apologies its a bit messy.....my excuse is this is the first freehand nail art I have done in ages :P
