I paired it with Lecenté Golden White glitter, sprinkled in to topcoat on two fingers and burnished in to the colour coat on two other fingers.<br />
It's an absolutely gorgeous colour, I think it would look amazing matte...Yuzukihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18426246222963758257noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651777903398199870.post-4410899440281732232017-06-15T13:41:00.000+01:002017-06-15T13:45:31.420+01:00Testing...It's been such a long time since I've posted. When people Google my <a href="http://facebook.com/sopolishablenails" target="_blank">business</a> name a lot of pictures from this blog appear so I'm just seeing if I can get some of my newer work to show up...no one needs to see 5 year old polish photos 🤣<br />
<br />
I started doing <a href="http://instagram.com/sopolishable" target="_blank">nails</a> full time from June last year and made the decision to have my own home salon from April this year, so far all is going well and I appreciate all my amazing clients, friends and fellow nail technicians who've helped me along the way.<br />
<br />
I'm currently a CND master painter with a level 2 & 3 NVQ In Nails, using NSI liquid and powder, CND shellac and Lecenté glitter/pigments based in Birkenhead, Merseyside, UK<br />

Plum Paisley is a deeply pigmented purple. Rose Brocade is a sheer red that's bang on trend at the moment. Crimson Sash is a luxurious looking red. Fine Vermillion, one of my favourites, is am amazing metallic orange. Locket Love is a perfect gold, many have been waiting for this colour for a while. </p><p dir="ltr">The additives, I was super excited about, are all perfect. They are pigment effects so they are not solid colours and take on aspects of whatever colour you put them on top of. For my bases I used Studio White and Black Pool.<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-3Y1SVgV1VQ4/U7aH9opltqI/AAAAAAAABAY/wGEsaEYzETw/s1600/IMG_20140704_114646.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="text-align: center; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-3Y1SVgV1VQ4/U7aH9opltqI/AAAAAAAABAY/wGEsaEYzETw/s640/IMG_20140704_114646.jpg"></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-L22Ip9plSNY/U7aH_sEefyI/AAAAAAAABAg/bA8Jzswd-UU/s1600/IMG_20140704_114706.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="text-align: center; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-L22Ip9plSNY/U7aH_sEefyI/AAAAAAAABAg/bA8Jzswd-UU/s640/IMG_20140704_114706.jpg"></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-NEFoSgrICi0/U7aIB-TcSLI/AAAAAAAABAo/SS_Ku2Kth2w/s1600/IMG_20140704_114730.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="text-align: center; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-NEFoSgrICi0/U7aIB-TcSLI/AAAAAAAABAo/SS_Ku2Kth2w/s640/IMG_20140704_114730.jpg"></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Woy77fd-ELM/U7aNxjnbv3I/AAAAAAAABA4/cB6N72_0JtQ/s1600/IMG_20140704_114316.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Woy77fd-ELM/U7aNxjnbv3I/AAAAAAAABA4/cB6N72_0JtQ/s640/IMG_20140704_114316.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-UYN4U1-4_ow/U7aNzGKKqjI/AAAAAAAABBA/rb5aA92hkQc/s1600/IMG_20140704_114351.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-UYN4U1-4_ow/U7aNzGKKqjI/AAAAAAAABBA/rb5aA92hkQc/s640/IMG_20140704_114351.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/--UaPYd7HayI/U7aN0j59wMI/AAAAAAAABBI/6Jw6Mgl2JoY/s1600/IMG_20140704_113902.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/--UaPYd7HayI/U7aN0j59wMI/AAAAAAAABBI/6Jw6Mgl2JoY/s640/IMG_20140704_113902.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-a_2k5Eu1IpE/U7aN12l82sI/AAAAAAAABBQ/ufhwhB-XQZE/s1600/IMG_20140704_113938.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-a_2k5Eu1IpE/U7aN12l82sI/AAAAAAAABBQ/ufhwhB-XQZE/s640/IMG_20140704_113938.jpg"> </a> </div>Yuzukihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18426246222963758257noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651777903398199870.post-54577089293868534782014-02-16T15:42:00.000+00:002014-02-16T15:43:35.076+00:00CND Paradise Collection<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's been too long since I posted, I've given up apologising as I guess I'll just post as and when I have the time, hope no one minds :-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This post will mainly be pictures to be honest, I'll write details if I can remember them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The nails below were for my birthday/holiday. I attempted a 3d flower which worked out...okay. I used Frosted Glen CND shellac, which is one of my all time favourite colours. I went for simple black and white on my toes, I think the design is meant to be like the inside of a shell, I had these on forever, haha.</div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I kept my nails this shape and length for a while and just changed the design, below are my attempt at a "glam turtle"<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

And these purple ones I did to match a dress for a Christening, they took about 5 hours as I didn't have a clue what I was doing. The owls were stamped on and dotted with colour, the roses were hand made decals. These were one of my favourites from the year.</div>

<span style="text-align: left;">I did quite a lot of different nails over Halloween but the orange and bl</span><span style="text-align: left;">ack were the ones I liked the most, done with polish for a change. I also customised a skeleton hand bracelet for my Halloween costume, I used acrylic, various glitter and rhinestones.</span></div>

I have trimmed my lovely long nails off for college (sad times) and I'm missing them so much already. I feel like my fingers look all short, lol.<br />
So, I decided to treat myself to a nice shiny mani for the few days I'm allowed to wear it. I went to my trusty Vinylux polish, Gilded Pleasure, as it dries so quickly I don't have enough time to smudge it. I sprinkled on some <a href="https://www.facebook.com/IrresistibleNailArt" target="_blank">Irresistible Glitter</a> (Chameleon Iridescent) and topcoated 3 times to get it smooth.<br />
I love this glitter as it changes depending on what colour the base polish is.<br />
I then stamped over it with <a href="http://www.moyou.co.uk/" target="_blank">MoYou</a>'s Pro Collection 05 Plate using 17 Silver Holo Polish to give the spider web a shimmery/silvery appearance and topcoated again.<br />

This is just a little post, mainly some images, showing what I've been up to since I last blogged. I'm back at college now so hopefully I'll have more advanced nail art coming up over the next year.<br />

The image above I did not long after I got the Suki Collection 01 plate from <a href="http://moyou.co.uk/" target="_blank">MoYou London</a>, I used CND Vinylux in Bicycle Yellow, Electric Orange and Decadence to do the gradient and topped with Pure Ice - Heartbreaker to smooth it out. I added a few dots of colour here and there so the stamping wasn't just solid black, this was inspired by Diana from <a href="http://dutch-diana.blogspot.co.uk/">http://dutch-diana.blogspot.co.uk/</a></div>

This was created with lots of stamping, dotting, freehand and handmade decals. I used <a href="http://moyou.co.uk/" target="_blank">MoYou London</a> plates; Rebel Collection 03 and Back to the 90's 01. The red I used was <a href="http://a-england.co.uk/" target="_blank">A-England</a> - Perceval, the green was an unnamed one.</div>

The heart tips and cutouts were just a play around for me, practicing gradients and also doing the cutout technique for the first time, I actually found it to be really awkward, my brush didn't want to remove the polish cleanly. I think I need a more sturdy brush for this in future. This was done with the same vinylux colours as the second image.</div>

Last but not least, a lovely nail tech from Belgium sent me some neon pigments to try out. I've got a set of 6 I purchased from ebay which look great in the tub and mix nicely with gel and acrylic but look pastel when burnished into shellac. These stay super bright and glow amazingly under UV lights. This is the green and pink over Cream Puff Shellac.<br />

<br />
I ended up getting Time To Pretend from the collection of the same name, as Kids (the one I originally wanted) sold out before I could even get the page to load, restocks are so much fun :-S<br />
<br />
Time To Pretend is a blue-purple (blurple if you will) holographic duochrome which has a gorgeous coppery-maroon-pinkish colour shift. The polish was easy to apply and covered completely in 2 coats, it dried quickly on my nails but they have gel and shellac on underneath which tends to speed up drying time.<br />
<br />
The packaging is amazing as well, the box as you can see has holographic lettering on it and the bottle is a good size (16.5ml), so even though it seemed a little pricey, it's more than worth it for the quality of the polish and packaging as well.<br />
<br />

The pictures where either taken in the sunshine, with a flash or normal lighting but the polish looks completely different in each light, its definitely a new favourite. I didn't use any topcoat as I was in a hurry, from pictures I've seen it doesn't dull the holographic effect so I will add some when I get the chance. Hopefully I'll be able to buy some more Enchanted Polish soon.</div>

Edit: Here's a picture with topcoat added, it did not take away the holo at all, in fact, I think it enhanced it<br />

I may do a give-away with just nail art/glitters stuff like that in future Thanks everyone for supporting the blog and good luck :-)<br />

I took the neon gel off my nails so I needed to do my nails again, luckily my other plates from <a href="http://www.moyou.co.uk/" target="_blank">MoYou</a> London arrived. I got 8 different plates, including one full of moustaches :-)</div>

I chose to do a mani with the 80's and 90's plates, from the Time Traveller set, as there are so many great images on them. Everything I stamped worked really well. I used 2 coats of CND Vinylux Cream Puff as a base and used <a href="http://www.a-england.co.uk/the-mythicals/25-camelot.html" target="_blank">A-England Camelot</a> as my stamping polish, with a layer of Vinylux topcoat at the end.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So far I've found the plates/images to be really clear and easy to use, so long as you are light with the scraper (I use a plastic one so as not to damage the metal). No problems with any of my orders either, they were shipped out quickly, once the new plates were in stock.</div>

<br />
I recently joined a group on Facebook specifically for stamping, it's a great place for inspiration but not at all good for my bank account. I came across a company called <a href="http://www.moyou.co.uk/" target="_blank">MoYou London</a>, who are a UK based on-line shop selling accessories for hair, nails and body. The uniqueness of the plates and imagery on the site instantly drew me to them. I initially only ordered one plate as I was cautious about the quality but I needn't have worried. I have ordered 6 more and with more releases coming next week I'm sure there will be plenty more on the way. The plates are not all produced yet so there is up to a 5 week wait on the newer ones but any queries can be directed to their fab customer services.<br />

<br />
I'll just say this to start off with I love CND's Shellac so I was expecting a lot from this polish when they released it. It is a long wearing (up to a week), quick drying (8.6 minutes) 2 colour coat + topcoat system.<br />
<br />
I was lucky enough to attend an Event where I received a few to try before they went on sale. I've tried 2 colours so far and they are great, they really do dry fast and the topcoat is very shiny. I have not worn a colour for a week though as I can only wear my polish when I'm not in college but my teacher has had it on a full week.<br />
<br />
I ordered a few new colours as my set mainly included white, pinks and reds. One of the colours I thought was similar to some other polishes I own, when it turned up, I released it was identical so I'll probably sell the others.<br />
<br />

They are identical in colour and colour shift to my eye. The application for all 3 were a little streaky but vinylux smoothed out with 2 coats. The others took an extra coat for opacity and smoothness but the brush strokes could still be seen with Peridot although that may have been my application. Peridot had slightly more shimmer than the Vinylux and OPI but with the Vinylux topcoat, Gilded Pleasure came out slightly shinier.</div>

Illamasqua Pink Raindrops - Limited Edition</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
When Illamasqua's Facebook page received 100,000 likes they celebrated by releasing a Pink version of their cult polish "Raindrops". I love the original but don't think it suits my skin tone so It barely gets used, I was hoping the pink version would look better. I bought it <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/products/nails/pink-raindrops-nail-varnish" target="_blank">here</a> as soon as it was available and it turned up this morning, pretty fast postage. I only got a quick look at it as I was running out the door and thought it didn't look very pink, more along the lines of a pink toned neutral or nude.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BTUHfu2aJ4g/UUd2u-XDtxI/AAAAAAAAAng/RHgv2OD-xCY/s1600/pink.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BTUHfu2aJ4g/UUd2u-XDtxI/AAAAAAAAAng/RHgv2OD-xCY/s320/pink.jpg" width="280" /></a></div>
<br />
I did a quick swatch (over my acrylics) when I got home. It has the same clear shimmery flakes that the grey version has and is less sheer but I think I was hoping for something pinker. It does suit my skin colouring better though so maybe it'll grow on me. I think I'd like it more on my nails if they were shorter.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm so full of cold, I haven't changed my nails since last week and I don't see me re-doing them in the near future, fortunately I love the colours and design so It's not all bad. I used 2 coats of Hotski to Tchotchke. On 2 of my fingers I mixed up some sparkly green glitter and some green iridescent bar glitter and pressed that in, I then stamped them with a hounds-tooth pattern from a bundle monster plate. On the other fingers I added a thin layer of Ruby Ritz which changed it to a lovely deep purple red glittery shade which looks amazing in person. </div>

This photo was taken a couple of days after I'd done them. The photos below are from today, a week after they'd been done. So you can see the green glitter better. Not much tip wear or a massive gap by my cuticle so I think I can get another week out of them easily :-)<br />

As I don't have the time to change my polish that much any more, I tend to use the shellac on myself a lot, as well as doing my friends and family. I only trained fairly recently so I feel like my application could improve.<br />
<br />
I should probably add that I only use CND's Shellac as they created Shellac I feel the others on the market are cheap imitations and as I don't know how safe/hypo-allergenic they are I would not use them.<br />

And last but not least my New Years Eve nails. I used 1 coat of Hotski to Tchotchke and then brushed in as much green holographic glitter as I could and stamped on some leopard print. The looked amazing, I did not want to take it off but had to for college :-(</div>

Ahhh, it's been so long since I made a post. Since I started college I haven't been painting my nails nearly as much as I used too but that's no excuse. I recently trained with CND to use Shellac so when I do get the chance to do my own nails that's what I'm using and as its a "professional" use only product I didn't think it worth posting but I don't like my blog sitting idle. So I have decided to keep track of my course progress by posting pictures here, it'll be mainly mani/pedi's, shellac or liquid & powder (extensions). Hopefully this will encourage me to post more regularly :-) If not...I give up.</div>

This was on my "client" (and best friend) I used 2 of my favourite polishes, Barry M Indigo and Barry M Prickly Pear. Prickly Pear is one of their Gelly range and is super shiny.</div>

So I went shopping for some make-up the other day and I nearly escaped without buying any nail varnish but a new one from boots own brand 17 caught my eye. It's a holographic silver, I own a few already but for £3.99 I figured one more wouldn't hurt.<br />

The nail polish went on really smoothly, I found 2 thin coats were opaque enough for me. It did not need a top coat so I didn't use one in case it dulled the holographic effect.</div>

I might grab a few spares of this as I think it would be really good for stamping with as well. It has changed my mind about the brand as I considered it to be just "cheap" but they seem like good quality, over all I'm made up with it.<br />

I have no camera and I've started a nail technician course so I'm not actually painting my nails all that much, I generally have someone else on the course do them for me so its not all bad.
Models Own have a brand new collection called "Wonderland" that are all super glitzy, they are on sale on the <a href="http://www.modelsownit.com/">website</a> from Oct 12th but available in Boots stores and their flagship store in London as of now. I only picked up 3 of the 5 as I have something similar to the other 2 already, aren't I good?
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I picked up Jack Frost, a blue/pink shifting glitter, Snowflake, iridescent shards and Southern Lights which is a light purple holographic glitter.
Please excuse the terrible grid photo, instagram style. I really need to sort out a camera ASAP.

My favourite is Jack Frost, its easy to apply and dries quickly. It looks really nice over dark colours but looks completely different over light ones, so might look interesting over a gradient mani.<br />
Snowflake looks great in the bottle but just appeared golden on the red and green I used, so very Christmas appropriate, it was a little difficult to apply like most "shard" polishes.<br />
Last but not least was Southern Lights, super pretty but the purple was a little too subtle to me, maybe I need to layer it over a dark purple to show it off better, it did dry nice and quickly as well.<br />
I am really glad I picked up all 3 though as I'm sure I'll use them lots over the next few months.Yuzukihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18426246222963758257noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651777903398199870.post-37586342316055541062012-07-12T15:22:00.001+01:002012-07-12T15:33:29.001+01:00Summer Fun Challenge Day 8 - Last Day :(I can't believe this is the last of the challenge, it went so quick but it was great fun. So thanks to Lindsey at <a href="http://neverlandnailblog.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Neverland Nail Blog</a> for organising it. Todays mani was an anything goes sort of deal and this week my Rainbow Honey glitters had arrived so I wanted to use one of those.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I used 2 coats of Zoya Zuza as a base, which is a stunning polish all on its own and then 2 coats of <a href="http://www.rainbowhoney.com/" target="_blank">Rainbow Honey</a>'s 20% Cooler, it went on really easily. Its packed full of glitter and shimmer. I added a thick topcoat to smooth it out.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

So I went with something <a href="http://www.blackmilkclothing.com/" target="_blank">Black Milk</a> inspired. Black Milk is my new obsession. I did this design to go with their Owl Swimsuit, scroll down the page for a picture.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PmEDFV08tNI/T_w7TABh5ZI/AAAAAAAAAf8/oAC8UjC2MIs/s1600/blackmilkowl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PmEDFV08tNI/T_w7TABh5ZI/AAAAAAAAAf8/oAC8UjC2MIs/s320/blackmilkowl.jpg" width="316" /></a></div><br />
I used my faithful A-England Camelot for the black base and used Bundle Monster Stamp no. 309 for the owl designs. I then, not so carefully dotted some Color Club Antique on the owls body and mixed Antique with Bettina Starfish for the eyes and detail on the flowers to help coordinate the colours with the swim suit.<br />

Day 6 of the Summer Fun Challenge, hosted by Lindsey of <a href="http://neverlandnailblog.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Neverland Nail Blog</a>, the theme was "The Big Blue". So I went with a super pretty blue from Nubar called Night Sparkle and added Pure Ice's Heartbreaker to give it a green shimmer. I used one of the new Bundle Monster plates (number 307) and stamped on a few octopuses </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I know I'm a day early but I'll be out and about tomorrow so wont have a chance to put this up.<br />
The theme was "most creative road trip or vacation mani". As I've only been away once since I started doing my nails obsessively, lol, this was simple for me. I don't know why I didn't photograph this the first time round but hey ho.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I used Dior Waterlily as a base. I love this polish, it has a great brush and applies easily, dries fast and smells lovely :-) I then added Girly Bits Cosmic Ocean to enhance the sparkle. I used A-England Dragon and A-England Saint George for the dots.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
