Nails - The Little Mermaid.

You're never too old for a bit of Disney. I have a few favourites, but if I had to pick my ultimate it would probably be The Little Mermaid. I wanted to BE Ariel when I was 5. Hell, nearly 23 years later, I still do.

So when I was browsing ebay for nail art supplies and came across some Disney-themed nail decals I had to get some Ariel ones. I actually got these sometime last year, and can't seem to find the seller. But there are other similar ones available.



I'm still in awe of my Jessica Hologram Chic nail polish. It's difficult to capture how pretty it is. I added some block colours and dots using Models Own Apple Pie, Blooboo and Utopia, with Ariel on my ring finger. The decals are applied by soaking in water for a few seconds, slipping the transfer off the backing and then placing on the nail. Wait for it to dry (it can take a while, but it leaves you ages to place it exactly where you want it) then apply a top coat. It's so easy. I find water decals a lot easier to apply than nail wraps.

Nails - navy & holo colour block

So, despite the fact I have well over 60 nail polishes, I took advantage of the boots 3 for 2 offer and bought a couple of the new polishes from the 17 range.
I already own an awesome holographic nail polish, but was intrigued by the 17 one - so, at just a few quid, I snapped it up. I also got 'Navy Glint' - a gorgeous navy with super-fine glitter. It's a beaut!




I decided to use these polishes [along with Models Own Beth's Blue] to do a colour block design on my nails. It was really difficult to capture the holographic polish. It's not as good as my Jessica one, but it's still really pretty in certain lights and for just over £3 you really can't moan!

What's everyone been up to this weekend? I've enjoyed a quiet one. Been to the gym this morning, which now gives me the excuse to do pretty much nothing for the rest of the day! I have tomorrow off too, so am planning a trip to the shops to do some 'C' word shopping [not being rude, I just know many people don't like the mention of it before November at the earliest!]. I've normally started it by now, as I tend to work by how many pay days I have left til the big day...I'm slacking this year, need to get a move on!

Nails - Holographic & leopard accent

I CANNOT STOP LOOKING AT MY NAILS.

When Lucy blogged about this nail polish, I knew I had to get my hands on it. I had been after a good holographic nail polish for a while, and can definitely recommend this. Just look at it! Such a beaut. And the photos don't even do it enough justice, it's just so lovely!



The nail polish in question is the Jessica Holograam Chic Duo - expensive, but worth it for this prettiness. Plus it's free delivery which is always a massive bonus in my eyes! You apply one coat of the Retro Revival base coat, then one or two coats [I used two] of the Disco Diva hologram polish. As I love accent nails I also leopard printed my ring finger up using Barry M Berry and my Models Own Wah nail art pen.
