NOTD- Extending a lovely manicure!

Well, this is my first go of kind of gradient nails, these are nowhere near as good as the gradients I have seen with block colours! 

But I loved A Englands Lady Of The Lake so much that when I got tip wear I really didn't want to take it off so decided to add some glitter, then thought I would try gradient!

The gradient is lower than I wanted as I didn't find the best way to do this until my second hand so I went back and did it again! I used China Glaze Prism for the tips and it was so thick that the nest way for the gradient effect was to do it from the tips and drag down so the glitter disperses down the nail

This was my favourite nail! Rubbish shot as it was on my right hand and camera skills with my left hand are not my forte!

Excuse my ravaged skin, can't seem to find any cream or oil to help!

A England polishes are available from http://a-england.co.uk/ and China Glaze from http://www.amazon.co.uk/China-Glaze-Prismatic-Glitters-Holographic/dp/B0071JE27A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345330010&sr=8-1

This was a great way to extend my mani, even if it was a pickle to remove, but that is all to be revealed in my next post......

NOTD China Glaze - Ruby Pumps

Afternoon lovelies, hope you are having a great weekend! Crazy times here, end of term for my kids, night out on Friday which resulted in a huge hangover hence why this post is a day late!

Today I bring you a pretty festive polish, one that I have wanted for ages!

This is one of China Glaze's most popular and well known polishes and its easy to see why.....

This is a cool toned red base packed with red glitter, although I think there must be silver glitter in too as when this stared to wear off my nail had silver glitter on my nail!

This is the perfect red for my skin tone and I adored this colour, especially in the sun when it really came to life! I imagine this will be featured as a mani for the festive season, unless there are new releases to feed my habit!

Ruby Pumps is a perfect little polish, hardwearing, opaque in 3 coats, average drying time and tip wear only evident after 5 days

China Glaze is only available on the interweb unless you know of any salons that stock it, I got mine from Raven Cosmetics
