A Full Moon Means...... GLITTER!!

If you haven't already seen my last post, you can go read that so that this one makes sense :)

This is the second nail art design I did using my new Moonbeam Lacquers.

Jumping straight into it. This one is called Lunar Ritual.

Obviously, I had to do some kind of moon to match the name Lunar Ritual, so I did a full moon :)

These two pictures are of the same colour, just in different lighting, but I think it looks cool over both colour variations :)

Again, I wanted it to be all about the glitter with just a small nail art. So...

I did the full moon. I really like it. I even dabbed some of the glitter around to represent stars.

Here's another bottleshot because I just can't get enough of them :D

Colours Used:
Blue base - China Glaze: First Mate
Glitter - Moonbeam Lacquer: Lunar Ritual
White - China Glaze: White on White
Light Blue - China Glaze: Electric Beat
Grey - Sinful Colors: Cool Grey

Return of the Mushrooms.

Three weeks ago, I received a very special package.

My package contained the four Moonbeam Lacquers I bought. 
I found them on Instagram by indie polish maker, Katie.

So I bought four to start with and I love them. I'm using one each week to create a nail art inspired by the name of the polishes.

First up was Fairy Ring. And what is more appropriate for a fairy ring than mushrooms? I have done mushroom nails before and I loved them, so this is a perfect time to do them again.

Since I wanted to showcase the glitter polish, I didn't want to over crowd it with nail art. I just did some mushrooms in the grass on my ring finger as the accent and on the thumb as well.

I stamped this cute fairy on top of the mushroom I painted using MoYou London Fairytale Collection Plate 1. I just love how it turned out.

I also fell in love with these bottles and the magical touches of the crystal and label, so I had to include a bottleshot.

Just another random picture :D

I went a bit crazy on Instagram (@magicalpolish) with these photos. I took multiple photos of each, with a video of how the glittering contents sparkled in the sun, so if you want to see that, you can check that out ;)

Also, when I have finished using all four of these beauties, I'm going to do a whole post dedicated to them :D

Colours Used:
Base - A-England: Fonteyn
Glitter - Moonbeam Lacquer: Fairy Ring

Striping Tape...

I was a bit short of time and I didn't know what to do. So I used so striping tape because I don't use it very much. I saw a picture on pintrest, which I used the pattern from to create this. I couldn't find who originally made it though.

So it's nothing exciting really. I think my favourite part of it is the base colour, which doesn't show well anyway :( It's actually a dark purple, plum kind of colour.

Colours Used:

Base - A-England: Sleeping Palace

Silver - Rimmel London: Her Majesty

One Stroke Flowers Take 2!

So... I attempted to do one stroke flowers again. My first attempt was kind of a fail, but I love these! They're like 100 times better than my last ones, but I still have a lot of practicing to do :)

Ahhh! Look at that green! It's my favourite everrrrr!

I love every bit of this. The rhinestone is so pretty :) But that green. Gosh.

The green even matches my ring <3

Colours Used:
Green - Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear: Emerald City (over black)
Black - OPI: Black Onyx
White and Purple Acrylic Paint
