Manicure Monday: Leather effect & Skulls

Hello all!

Another Monday, another manicure! This week I used the Nails Inc 'Bling It On, Leather and Skulls' kit & I love them!

I was sent this kit and it is so me! The polish itself is a really interesting texture and its matte grainy effect is really cool on its own. But I thought I would try the skull embellishments too. The set comes with glue so it's so simple to create. I put a skull in each middle finger. I'd suggest taking the glue out with you in case they fall off as mine did in the night.

I've used these once before and I looked after them so you definitely can reuse them. If I can keep these tiny embellishments safe then anyone can!

In other news, I finally have an iPhone! With this comes better pictures and....instagram. I am so excited about getting instagram.Please follow me: jadorejadex.
If you do so, you'll get a preview of my new hair too, post coming soon. I am a red head again!

Manicure Monday: Bling it on Rebel!

Hello all.

Another Monday, another manicure! I was kindly sent the 'Bling it on Rebel' kit by Nails Inc recently and couldn't wait to try it! As it was so cool, I wanted to save it for a special occasion, so with the #LDNBloggersParty on Saturday (you can see my write up of this here) I thought that I would do some cool nail art with this kit.

So in the kit you get a full sized 'Shoreditch Lane' polish, which is a deep burgundy, with a definite purple base, polish that dry to the leather effect. You also receive 4 skull and cross-bone embellishments, 10 square based stud embellishments and several small swarovski crystals. You also are provided with 2 orange sticks and glue for the embellishments. This means you can get super creative with this little kit as everything is provided and the skulls and studs are perfectly my style!

So here is what I created with the kit, please bare in mind that it was my first attempt!

 

Please excuse my long, uber boney claw-like fingers!

So on my thumbs I stuck 2 of the skull and crossbones on, which was so fun as every time I texted, I could see them! Then on my middle fingers I placed a stud, and on my pinkie's a black crystal. I know I will become more creative with the pattern I go for in future, but for a first attempt, I was very happy!

I plan to use 3-4 studs on my middle finger next time in a vertical row, I think it would look so good! 

I was also sent the black leather and skull set, so keep a look out for that in the next few Manicure Monday's!
