31 Days of Nail Art Challenge - Day 23 - Inspired by a Movie

Movies.

I love watching films but I can never find the time to watch them anymore :(

So for this theme I decided to base it on a film character from my childhood.

And that is... Minnie Mouse!

Instead of actually drawing her, I used bits of her 'look' (basically her dress and hairbow) to recreate.

For the base I started with Revlon Mon Cherry, which is one of their scented polishes. It smells pretty nice, but not of cherry unfortunately. Then I added the white dots using Models Own Snow White and a dotting tool. For the bow I added a coat of China Glaze Ruby Pumps before adding the dots, and then drew on the bow.

I love how it is such and iconic look that even people on the bus commented saying it looked like Minnie Mouse nails!

One of the best days (nail-wise) so far...

Hello there,

This is the story of how a rather un-planned day turned in to one of the best!

First of all came the polishes. In the moning, seriously it was morning (10am!), i went shopping but had very little money :( Anyways, I went into Boots and hovered around the cosmetics stands and et voila! I saw that the Models Own Mirrorball Collection was out!! So, as you probably guessed i got every single one. And boy was I lucky, there was only one or two of each, so basically I got the last ones they had! :0 And because it was all 3 for 2, I bought 6 bottles, 5 Mirrorballs and one from their very latest collection, Wonderland.

If that wasn't great enough, when I got home there was a parcel waiting for me! It was the stamping plates I ordered. They took 3 weeks to arrive but oh well they're here now. And they were dead cheap! Less than £21 for 52 plates, so less than 40p a plate! That compared to Konad which are £5 per plate, well do I need to say any more...?

 And to top it all off, when my mum got home from work she had some awesome news! She won a competition, and the prize was 5 brand new full size O.P.I's!!! It was the Fruity Nails Collection, which was exclusively packaged for Waitrose.

Ahh... Can this day get any better? :D

Models Own Purple Grey - Swatch and Review

Hello people of the internet

So originally I was planning on wearing something a LOT brighter than this but because of everything going on, I thought that this represented my mood far better than sparkly green would. Anyway more about that tomorrow.

So here we have Models Own in Purple Grey.

Its a taupe coloured creme polish and it applies nice and smoothly.

This is two coats.
Its a grungy colour but I think it's quite an appropriate autumn colour

In normal light this appears greyish but in brighter lights it verges on brown. But purple grey is definitely the best description of it!
