Monday Make-up #025 glitter | green | mermaid | mermaid nails | monday makeup | nails | pink | purple | water marbling | whenflowersfall

Hi my lovelies!

Another fresh faced Monday today, but as you can probably tell by the above photo, I've been working on something with my hair this morning. All will be revealed about that soon! 

Because I'm not wearing anything on my face, I thought I would share with you my new mermaid nails. I thought I would give the 'Water marbling with no water' technique a go and I absolutely love it. It's so easy! I don't feel like the photos do them justice! 

I hope you are all having a good Monday. I've now got to go and clean the oven at the old flat ( I'm wearing gloves of course!!) 

W7 Nail Polish - Envy blue | duo tone | envy | green | nail paint | nail polish | nail varnish | review | w7 | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall

Hi Lovelies!

I came across this amazing shade yesterday and I just had to purchase it. I'd describe the colour as a deep teal duo tone. In natural light it can look very flat, but in a bright light you can see the beautiful mixture of blues and greens. 

I don't have a colour like this in my collection and I really think it will be one I reach for on a regular basis. 

Mua Nail Varnish - Shade 13 cosmetics | glitter | green | make up academy | manicure | MUA | nail paint | nail polish | nail varnish | nails | products | review | what I'm wearing | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall

Hi Lovelies! 

    I thought I'd give one of my new MUA nail varnishes a go this morning, I decided to try the beautiful green colour which is shade 13. 

Top - Without flash

Bottom - With flash

    The colour itself is stunning, I'd say it's a rich emerald shade. In natural light the colour is very solid and has a metallic finish to it, but with the bright light of a flash, you can see the sparkle it creates. 

    I applied 3 coats to my nails, although 2 coats probably would have been plenty. The bottle gives you 6.2ml of product, which for a pound, it's hard to complain about, and the brush applicator is long and slightly flattened to help you achieve best coverage. 

   So far I am very pleased with this product, the only thing that will let me down, is if it doesn't wear very well, but so far so good, the nail varnish seems to be quiet hard wearing. (I normally chip my nails on the first day.) Much like other MUA products, I will definitely be buying more! 

Green with Envy. barry m | elf | glitter | green | manicure | nail paint | nail polish | nails | ring finger | when flowers fall | when flowersfall | whenflowersfall

I've been seeing lots of manicures recently consisting of two colours, one being purely on the ring finger. I wanted to give it a go, but thought I'd add a little twist and use glitter for on ring finger instead. 

Here's a step by step photo tutorial for anyone who would like to give it a go. 

 - Paint a colour similar to your glitter onto your ring finger.

 - Use a damp cotton bud to dab on the glitter, do this before the nail polish dries.

 - Paint a coat of clear nail polish on top and repeat step 2. Wait til dry, then apply your top coat.

 - Paint the rest of your fingers in your second choice of colour. 

 Easy peazy!

I used a green fine glitter, ELF nail polish in mint cream and a Barry M Glitter Top Coat.

If you do give this a go, remember to comment and link me to a picture!
