Blue and Glittery Star Nails

I finally managed to get my hands on Models Own Southern Lights and Northern Lights, the two beautiful glitters from their winter Wonderland collection.

They are simply breath taking.
Opaque glitter in two coats and full of holographic shimmer. Stunning.

I was desperate to use them so I create a blue mani using Nails Inc bluebell colour and then Models Own Southern Lights on my thumb and ring finger. Then on the plain nails I stamped with Mash 49 plate using Konad special polish in white.

Models Own - Boogie Nights

Asos recently got the Models Own Mirrorball collection. And in true magpie fashion I had to have some of the beautiful shiny glitters! I got two from the collection and today I have boogie nights to show you.

The glitter is mainly pink based with blue and holo flecks in. All the glitter is hand cut meaning they are wonderfully random.

It's not the easiest polish to work with, like most glitter suspended in clear base you have to arrange the glitter to get an even spread and I found it took a while to dry due to the thickness when trying to get good glitter distribution.

I used three coats of Boogie Nights over one coat of Cult Nails Charming and sealed with one coat of OPI top coat.

Butterfly Nails - Featuring China Glaze

As I last posted, I recently bought some nails plates from bundle monster and I am in love.

I also invested in my first China Glaze nail polish, which so far have lived up to all the hype.

This manicure was done using one of China Glaze's 2012 summer collection and it is the most amazingly vibrant blue called Splish Splash. This was a dream to apply and totally opaque in two coats.

I added some of OPI's Last Friday Night, blue glitter from their Katy Perry collection just to the tips.

Then once everything was totally dry I used Bundle Monster plate 307 and Konad special nail polish in white to stamp on butterflies.

Not the best example of stamping, I didn't get complete images onto all of the nails. But hey I'm still learning.

Introducing Sugarpill's Heart Breaker Palette

Last friday saw the release of four new eyeshadows from Sugarpill. I ordered the palette as soon as it went on sale as the colours looked incredible and I just love everything Sugarpill.
It arrived in the post yesterday, so happy that it only took a week to arrive, I was expecting not to get it until next month.
I instantly had to swatch and play around with it.
It was everything I hoped it would be.

Acidberry is a bright limey green, and my favourite of the four
Velocity is a royal blue, which I think is a matte pressed version of the chromolust Royal Sugar
2am is pinky purple
Mochi is the perfect light turquoise, something that I have been hunting for for a while.

The pigmentation on all of the colours are amazing. If you love bright colours then you have to add this to your makeup collection!

Here's some pictures of the palette, some swatches and a quick look I did:

FOTD - Turquoise Eyes featuring Urban Decay

It felt like time to bring out my Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Palette. For some reason I seem to neglect it slightly (might have something to do with the obscene amounts of eyeshadow that I own!).

The blues were what drew me in so I created the look below. Bright but smokey.

Urban Decay Eyeshadows in Deep End and Evidence
Urban Decay 24/7 liquid eyeliner in Perversion

More OCC Lip Tar Swatches

Seeing as OCC have replaced the lip tar packaging and so Love Makeup have had the old ones on sale I thought it only sensible to pick up a few more colours seeing as they are such a great product.

The colours I picked up though are not the most wearable straight from the tube, they are more in keeping with the original idea of lip tars. They are made for mixing. Or for some more creative looks they can be used on there own or layered.

Here are some swatches of the latest additions to my collection:

Red Iron Oxide

Yellow Iron Oxide

Katricia

OPI Nicki Minaj Nails

So after seeing this amazing and fun design on Do Not Freeze's Blog I had to give it a go.

Basically its a crazy, bright coloured leopard print nail design using three of the new colours release from the new Nicki Minaj nail collection from OPI.
I have the mini collection that has a three brights and a glitter. And this uses the three brights, which made me very happy as I could try out three colours in one go.

You can pick up these nail varnishes at ASOS priced £11 for individual full sized bottles or £12.95 for the mini collection.
