Chrome Love

I wanted to use my new chrome polishes in a mani and since Valentines day is coming up and I love these polishes what better way to use them?







Chrome Love





For this mani you will need:

  • white polish
  • 3 shades of pink/purple polishes
  • dotting tool




Start by painting all your nails white.





Then with your first pink/purple polish start dotting your nails, do this one colour at a time to build up the dots. Start with bigger dots at the tip and smaller dots towards your cuticles.





Keep adding more dots in the different shades and sizes until you're happy.





















On my ring finger, I first painted a pink heart outline. I then randomly filled this in with different coloured dots.




And there we have it, a quick and simple valentines mani using my fave polishes.





I love the shine the Models Own chromes give off!

The polishes I used in this mani were:

  • Boots Natural Collection - Nail Tip Whitener
  • Models Own - Chrome Cerise
  • Models Own - Chrome Rose
  • Models Own - Chrome Mauve
Much love!

Nail Polish Haul

I haven't bought myself any new nail polish for months! My last nail polish purchase was a gift for someone else! I've been having new polish withdrawal! So today, I went for it, I went for it a little too much, but I've treated myself to a big bunch of new polish!





I bought, 5 of the new Models Own chrome polishes, 4 Miss Sporty colours and two MoYou stamping nail art sets. I've been wanting to grab the chrome polishes since they first came out and they were my main reason for polish shopping today! The Miss Sporty polishes were just a random purchase cause I like the colours and they were on offer at 2 for £3. My last polish purchase was a MoYou stamping nail art set for my friend for her birthday and since then I've been wanting to get one for myself!

In the MoYou stamping set you get 3 shades of MoYou nail lacquer, White Knight, Black Knight and Deep Ocean in the "The Pro" set and White Knight, Cool Pool and Sweet Lips in the "Princess" set. You also get 2 stamping plates, a stamp and a scraper.





The Models Own chrome colours I bought are Gold, Rose, Cerise, Mauve and Blue. I love them so much already! They're gorgeous and I can't wait to create some manis with them! They look great with only one layer of polish and they dry really quickly! They're so shiny and beautiful.





The Miss Sporty polishes don't have their own cool polish names unfortunately. I bought a purple a green a blue and a yellow. I just liked the colours and for £1.50 they were hard to resist. They're really nice polishes but they're not the easiest to apply. They're quite streaky even with 2/3 coats. I'm sure I'll find a use for them though.





So there we have it, everything I bought today, I can't wait to play with it all! Time to get creative!
