Disney Challenge...Mulan....hmmm

Argggh why oh why cant every day be the same...art wise i mean? yesterdays Gothic snow white was so cool because it came together so well, i LOVED doing that.  Today, i decided to opt for mulan in a traditional sense because to be honest i ha vent seen the film so i don't know the character very well at all.

From the pics i found on the Internet my mulan doesn't look Chinese enough for my liking, super damn!

I decided to do some newspaper nails to, using Chinese newspaper, that looked kinda cool and i liked that a lot....

So there we have it...a not Chinese looking enough Mulan, check out the other ladies taking part!

tutorial of newspaper nails!

Hello my lovelies.  I am here today to show you guys a lil tutorial I have made...I am showing you today how to do newspaper nail art nails!.  This is a super fun and super easy design to do.  I have decided not to do the standard English newspaper writing...I have been dying to do some different style newspaper nails and the lovely Daisy Lee from Born Pretty sent me some clippings of her foreign paper...bless you Daisy, I really appreciate it!  So without further ado here s my little tutorial for you guys. 

select your newspaper you want to use and cut up into squares...like so

pour some alchol into a dappen dish

I painted my nails in OPI My boyfriend scales the walls.....PERFECT colour for this as it isnt a stark white , most papers are light grey so this is perfect as it has grey undertones.  PLEASE NOTE you need to do this design when nails are still a bit sticky.....not really wet and defo not dry.....

Take the square of newspaper and dip it into the vodka for approx 10 seconds

Place the wet paper over the nails and press firmly down, whilst pressing down firmly roll the  finger over the paper...taking care to get all of the nail pressed.

remove the paper and this is what you should be left with!

easy peasy!

Topcoating your nails is very important ...it protects your manicure!

I used Northern Lights Silver Holo Topcoat for a little added sparkle...it doesn't show a great deal on my camera but it is there!

 I hope you guys have found this hepful...if you have any questions....let me know xxxxx

Born Pretty Blue Shimmer Polish review...WOW!!!!

Ok guys im back and here with a bumper post showing you the amazing blue silver shimmer polish by Born Pretty. It is number 03.  

Beautiful in the bottle...even better on the nail

Now I have to say, I chose this polish from the store to review with little hopes to be honest.  I am a polish lover and enjoy some pretty expensive polishes in my vast collection.  This polish is very very cheap...hence my low expectation.  How wrong I was!!!!! 

When I saw it yesterday I was SERIOUSLY impressed with the colour.  I expected it to be quite sheer but on the nail it was so opaque!! 2 coats was all I needed for a heap of shimmer glouriousness on my fingertips! 

Look at that  silver and blue sparkle!!!!

beautiful summer colour!

I kid you not guys I am in LOVE with this polish, the colour is just delicious!  Born Pretty describe this as 'shimmer' polish but I say it is full on bling....it has so much sparkle that in ever light it shows...which is super exciting considering some of my super expensive polishes don't deliver as much bang for your buck as this baby does..for only $3.79!!!

The polish flowed effortlessly from my brush, application was super easy!  I was looking hard to find something that set this aside from my expensive polishes so I homed in on dry time....expecting that was going to be the flaw I was looking for....nope!  Dry time was fantastic!!! I also have to give credit for the lovely bottle...this looks expensive from the writing to the lid...excellent! 

how pretty this looks with some art!

here is my newapaper design i also did with Daisy Lees clippings she sent....thank you!!

LOVE this!!!!! 

I decided to jazz this up a little with a little floral design, still using the blue silver polish on the blue flowers...my gosh I LOVE this....so much so I have done both hands in this manicure which is a rarity when I am reviewing something!  I also would like to thank the lovely Daisy Lee for sending me some newpaper clipping so i can do some newpaper art....i have done it on the nail here but it is veeeery subtle.  You're a star Daisy xxx 

I hope you guys enjoyed my pics of this gorgeous polish by Born Pretty I suggest you head over and pick some of these polishes up...I know I am going to own more of these!!  Don't forget you get 10% off your order using my special code and FREE WORLDWIDE shipping!!!  Go forth my angels and buy buy buy!!!!!
