Pearl Manicure

I'm not usually into these bright reds or pinks but I really like this colour.

This is one of the new MUA nail polishes, its called Bright Coral and its only £1!

My first thought when I applied it was that its not really coral, I think its more red than anything.

So as usual I was procrastinating and started doing this mani

I applied two coats of MUA - Bright Coral on all nails and before it could dry I started plonking on these little white pearl looking caviar balls to my ring finger, then I made the mistake of thinking

"I'll just stick a topcoat on now...what's the worst that can happen?"

Don't make the mistake I did by being impatient, let the polish dry off for at least 5minutes before you put the topcoat on otherwise your going to have a problem of trying to put all the little pearls back into their places.

 

Splotchy Accent Nail

Hmm...it looks like I have an addiction with these MUA polishes

At least I'm keeping to my word and uploading more images of the colours I have. I will do some swatches of them as well instead of just nail art.

 

For this manicure I have used

Frozen Yoghurt

Bright Coral (Main Colour)

Natural Days (Accent Base)

Lush Lilac

NYC Topcoat

I applied two coats of Bright Coral over all of my nails accept my ring finger which I put two layers of Natural Days on.

I let my nails dry for 5 minutes whilst carefully having a cup of herbal tea...trying to be healthy sucks!

Using my different sized dotting tools I used Lush Lilac, Bright Coral and Frozen Yoghurt and applied different sized blobs all over my accent nails.

I had to wait a further 5minutes for the blobs to dry until I put on my topcoat.

Finished result equals cute shiny splotchy nails =)

MUA Nail Polish Swatches

Okay, so first things first before I start this post I need to apologise for not posting for a LONG time!

I've been so wrapped up in starting my PGCE this September and haven't given a thought to my poor blog.

So I think its time to start blogging again, although I think my posts are going to be a bit scatty. If I get round to it I might even post a few of my lessons up on my blog!

 

Wow!

These nail polishes are only £1 from Superdrug...Bargain!

I have a few more pictures of the different colours I have to upload when I get the time.

I've nearly bought the whole range of these new MUA polishes, but the ones I don't have are always out of stock.

Ah well, I will just have to be patient!

 

Well, considering these polishes are only £1 you'd think they'd be rubbish runny polishes where you need at least 3 coats to look good and I'm here to tell you they're not.

These polishes are fantastic for the price, its just a shame they don't do them in bigger bottles because I would definitely buy them.

I've done 2 coats of polish on each of these manicures just so you can see what they look like. They definitely need the two coats though, you couldn't ever get away with just the one like you could with some O.P.I polishes, but seriously they're at least £10 cheaper than any O.P.I polish anyway, so who cares?
