Christmas Manicures

Hello!

Happy Christmas Eve! I'm here with a selection of manicures I've done this festive season. As well as the photos, I've posted links to where you can get many of the products I used. Hope you enjoy them!

1. Christmas Tree Manicure

This mani uses the gorgeous green glitter Henley Regatta by Butter London - a TXMaxx find - topped with a Christmas tree nail charm for Charlies Nail Art.


2. Snowy Scene Manicure

These are water decals from Born Pretty Store! I loved the snowy trees.


3. Tartan Manicure

Another Charlies Nail Art find! I was especially happy with how these water decals applied and thought the tartan was perfect for Winter.


4. Christmas Glitter Manicure

This manicure is a mix of two glitters - Beyond Gorgeous by Madam Glam, topped with Keeper of the Grove by Femme Fatale. I think this makes for the ultimate Christmas glitter!


5. Metallic Knit Manicure

To give some edge to a Winter Knit manicure, I chose black and silver as my colours. The stamping plate is Fashionista 03 by MoYou London.


I hope you liked my manis, and have a great Christmas!

Hugs,

Pride Manicure!

Hello!

Yesterday I attended Northern Pride for the first time ever and it was amazing! Today I am tired, bruised and horribly sunburnt but it was worth it to take in such a wonderful celebration of acceptance, love and freedom. Plus the Vengaboys were performing, how cool?!

For my manicure I wanted a simple yet super sparkly rainbow glitter skittle, and here it is:

The glitters I used are as follows, in rainbow order:

Barry M - Red Glitter
Barry M - Gold Glitter
Butter London - Henley Regatta
Barry M - Blue Glitter
Nails Inc - Buckingham Street

I painted one coat of a similar colour under each glitter for maximum opacity and pop.

Here are my nails at Pride itself, accessorised with some lovely rainbow friendship bracelets:

Butter London ~ Henley Regatta

Hello!

Today I am showing off my first ever Butter London polish! It's a green glitter called Henley Regatta and I found it in TKMaxx for the bargain price of £4.99.

Henley Regatta is a fine, rich green glitter; I would describe the shade as minty forest. It went on in 3 coats and is a full-cover glitter but it could have done with a coat of green polish underneath for complete opacity. It's nothing you'd notice from a distance but I'm pedantic and it bothered me slightly.

Here is is (I tried it before cutting my nails, hence the difference!):

I love the colour, it is so rich and opulent!

Hugs,
