Milani 3D Holographic - Hi-Res

A few weeks ago I said I'd swatch Milani 3D Holographic - Hi-Res and now finally, I've done it! Here we go...

There's never much sun in Manchester, so I didn't manage to get any pictures in direct sunlight.

Hi-Res is such a pretty colour, it's a pale lavender-grape holo and really nice for spring! The colour is really nice both indoors and out and has a lovely glossy finish, even without topcoat! The consistency was nice too, it was pretty thin but not runny. For this swatch I used three thin coats.

See you soon!

Stains and Chevrons

Gooood evening everybody and happy Saturday! After an extremely busy two weeks and nine straight days of work, I finally have a day off! I've been sooo drained recently, I've hardly had chance to do my nails, let alone blog. So, here's me playing catch up.

I recently purchased Milani - Hi-Res and it's absolutely beautiful. I'm gonna swatch it soon, but for now here's a mani I did merely featuring it. Now, be warned, the other day I painted my nails with China Glaze - Merry Berry (over two layers of base coat, may I please add?) and my natural nails have been left super stained and I've been left super pissed. So yeah, please excuse the yellowness! ...And the sucky pics and tip wear!

See you sooon!

Nail Art Dec, Day 7: Sparkles

Hey all, just a quickie today! As usual I'm being rubbish and late, so here's Day 7: Sparkles from Friday. I just couldn't come up with anything good for this manicure, I did two designs and whilst I liked them both they just weren't special enough. Nothing that screamed SPARKLES! Which is something I definitely thought was vital with a prompt like sparkles. My pictures suck due to me feeling so deflated with these manicures, so for that I apologise haha. 

Ignore my chalky acetone white cuticles... Haha.

Day 10 tomorrow, lights! I have a good feeling about that :) 

Night everyone!
