NOTD: Matte Pink and Gold Glitter

Well I haven't done a NOTD post in awhile, and since I quickly did my nails today (they were so chipped and gross and were getting on my nerves!) I thought I would share them with you!

What I used:

• Essie Nail Polish in "Hard To Get" - needed three coats of this to get a decent coverage, fully not impressed. If it takes more than two coats, I'm not really a fan. 
• Revlon Matte Top Coat - I actually really like this as a matte top coat, it works pretty well!
• Milani One Coat Glitter Nail Lacquer in "Gold Glitz" - This is my favourite glitter to use when you want a real opaque look. I used it with a dotting tool to decorate the nails. Polka dots here and there, some stripes and... done!

And that's it! Quick and easy right?
I actually quite like the way it turned out, I love the combination of pink and gold and I think the different textures compliment each other nicely!

NOTD: Snowflakes!

I love doing my nails. Especially around Christmas time when it's ok to do Christmasy designs! I'm gonna try and do a few different designs up until Christmas, but in the meantime...
This is what they look like today!

And here's what I used:

First I applied Milani One Coat Glitter in Gold Dlitz. I then started stamping using Konad white special polish and the snowflake designs on the bundle monster plates: BM14 and BM319. To finish it off I drew some little stars and dots with the dotting tool (Btw I used my OrlyWhite Out for that!)

To seal the design, I made sure to apply the Konad special Clear polish!

Hope you liked this quick look at my nails, be sure to check back soon for more nail art designs.

NOTD: Egyptian!

Ancient Egyptian things have always fascinated me, so when I saw a youtube video on this design - I knew I had to replicate it.
I took the photo with my phone, sorry that it's a little blurry!

I finally had the excuse to use my Milani One Coat Glitter polish in Gold Glitz. I used two coats of it as the base coat. I did all the designs on the nails with acrylic paints. Really happy with how it turned out!
I think I might stick to using acrylic paints for any intricate designs I want to do in the future, it is so much easier to use.

I have a question for my amazing readers, what kinda things would you like to see more of on here? Comment below!

NOTD: Pink Leopard!

I've been pretty lazy with my nails lately - actually pretty lazy in general, I'm not gonna lie! Well enough is enough, so to liven up my hands I decided on hot pink leopard print.

Here's what I used:

• Two coats of Milani Neon nail polish in Pink Hottie
  
• One coat of Kleancolor Chunky Holographic nail polish in Chunky Holo Candy
  
• Konad black with the leopard print from m57
• Clear nail polish as a top coat
  

I actually really love this combination. It's so girly and cute. Something about pink reminds me that summer is on the way.. such an exciting thought!

On another note, tonight is the Rugby World Cup 2011 final!! GO THE ALL BLACKS!!
