Two Nail Charm Manicures!

Hello!

I hope you're having a nice Bank Holiday Monday! The weather has cooled down a little in the North East and personally I am very relieved. I don't handle the heat too well!

Two of my latest manicures have used metal nail charms, so I thought I'd show you them together ^_^

The first manicure is a butterfly design! For this once I used my "Summer's Day" water decals and butterfly charm from Charlies Nail Art. I cut the decals to make three French tips and one full nail as an accent. I glued the butterfly to my middle fingernail.

The second manicure was heavily inspired by metellitsa on Instagram! I switched up the index nail by painting it white and adding my charm, but everything else is the same design. My feathers are from Born Pretty stamping plate BP-75 and the charm is from Poundland. Any guesses as to what this little critter is - a fox, maybe? A raccoon? Answers in the comments, please!

Do you prefer one manicure over the other? Let me know!

Charlies Nail Art ~ Floral Water Decals

Hello!

I just ordered some new water decals from Charlies Nail Art last week, so I thought I'd show you some that I've used so far! All three are full-nail floral designs and they were bought by me ^_^

Here is Bold Blossom - a red base with blossom flowers which makes me think of kimonos...

Next is Oriental Blossom - a blue design with white and lilac blossoms which reminds me of some origami paper I own...

And finally we have Wild Pansy - gorgeous watercolour-effect flowers...

I seriously love floral water decals and I ordered more, so they will be coming up on the blog!

They were all just 89p each for a sheet of 10, and you get an extra 15% off with my coupon code GNAF15 ^_^

Charlies Nail Art ~ Spaceman Glitter Mix

Hello!

If you have a scroll down my blog, you'll see that I have been trying out the wonderful new glitter mixes by Charlies Nail Art! In addition to being absolutely beautiful - and a bargain at 75p each - they're also mixed in-house, so you won't find them anywhere else.

Most recently I have been experimenting with the Spaceman glitter mix. Spaceman consists of a very sparkly blue glitter with rainbow glitter mixed in, plus strand glitter and larger star and circle pieces. I do keep saying this every time I try a new glitter mix, but this is definitely one of my favourites.

I've done two manicures using Spaceman! This first one is a glitter gradient over a very deep blue, inspired by Star Trek: Voyager which I've begun rewatching...

...and the second one uses Spaceman as an accent nail in a blue manicure complete with flower water decal!

I really hope you love this glitter mix as much as I do! I still have more to show you as well ^_^

As I'm an ambassador for Charlies Nail Art you can get 15% off everything with my coupon code, GNAF15. I bought this glitter myself.

Charlies Nail Art ~ Arabian Nights Gitter Mix

Hello!

I'm back with another of the new glitter mixes by Charlies Nail Art! All the glitters are special because they're mixed in-house and so are unique, but Arabian Nights is extra-special because it was named by followers on social media!

I bought most of the glitter mixes myself but this one was given to me as a freebie because, at the time I ordered, it hadn't been released on the site yet. It's on there now for 75p ^_^

Arabian Nights consists of a sparkling royal purple glitter with bigger gold pieces mixed in. It is truly opulent! I wanted to try it as a glitter tips mani first so I started with one coat of sheer lilac polish, Hubby For Dessert by Essie, and dipped my nails in the glitter sachet!

I hope you're as wowed by this as I am! It's so rich and luxurious and I bet it'll look just as good as a full glitter mani. I will of course post a photo on the blog when I try it out.

As a Brand Ambassador for Charlies Nail Art, my followers get 15% off everything with my coupon code: GNAF15. The glitters are a bargain to begin with at 75p each!

I shall be back soon with a new glitter mix mani ^_^

Charlies Nail Art ~ Princess Glitter Mix ~ Post 2!

Hello!

On Thursday I showed you a manicure using one of the new Charlies Nail Art glitter mixes called Princess!

I used it in a "glitter tips" manicure, but I also really wanted to see how it looked as a full mani. So I painted on a pale pink - Rose Hip by Barry M - plus top coat, and while that was still wet I dipped my nails in the Princess glitter mix. I was overjoyed with the result!

You can really see all the different glitters and how special the mix is. Those larger glitters offset the finer ones wonderfully. I love wearing this but I'm also dying to try out the next glitter mix - I have my eye on the purple Arabian Nights...

All the mixes are 75p each and you can get 15% off everything with my coupon code, GNAF15. I bought this glitter myself ^_^

Charlie's Nail Art ~ Princess Glitter Mix

Hello!

I have another of the new Charlies Nail Art glitter mixes to show you! Yesterday I posted about Queen of Hearts, and today I am showing off Princess.

Princess is a shimmering, pink-tinted glitter with larger diamond, flower and star glitters mixed in. I thought it would look really pretty in a glitter tip manicure so I applied one coat of the sheer Essie Mademoiselle and dipped my nails in the mix! I'm super pleased with the result...

How lovely does that look?! All credit to the glitter of course! Now I want to see how it looks as a full glitter manicure, over pale pink. That will be my next manicure ^_^

These Charlies Nail Art glitter mixes are truly special because they are mixed in-house - you won't find them anywhere else. And they are only 75p per sachet! You can also get an extra 15% off everything with my coupon code, GNAF15 xx

Charlies Nail Art ~ Queen of Hearts

Hello!

My order of the six new Charlies Nail Art glitter mixes arrived today!!! These glitters are truly special because they're mixed in-house - you won't find them anywhere else.

I bought four for 75p each and Charlie kindly sent me the other two so that I would have the full set: Queen of Hearts, Princess, Spaceman, Flowers in Bloom, Magic Dust and a purple mix that is about to be named and released. The one that jumped out at me to try first was Queen of Hearts!

Queen of Hearts is a deep green, almost black, holo sparkle glitter mixed with red pieces and larger circles and hearts. It certainly gives off Alice in Wonderland vibes! I applied it over a dark green, Black Pistachio by Barry M, to match its depth. I finished with plenty of top coat to give it a smooth shine.

I love this glitter mix so much! It's the depth of holo sparkle with the added "treats" of the larger glitters that does it for me ^_^

As a (very proud) Brand Ambassador, I have a 15% off coupon code for all my readers: GNAF15

I will be back very soon with the next glitter mix!

Charlies Nail Art ~ Galaxy Glitter Mix

Hello!

Today I am very excited because I've ordered the new Charlie Nail Art glitter mixes and they just shipped! They will sit alongside the four existing mixes that I already own. In anticipation I decided to wear the Galaxy glitter mix ^_^

I painted one coat of sheer lilac, Hubby For Dessert by Essie, then added top coat and dipped my nails in the glitter mix. Two extra coats of top coat gave my mani a smooth shine!

I really can't wait to see the new glitters. I think I'm most looking forward to seeing Spaceman. If you're buying them for yourself, get 15% off with my coupon code GNAF15.
