Inspired by a makeup look

So last night I was browsing Instagram and I saw this incredible makeup look that Lucisferismydad did. As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to do some nail art based on it, so here they are! 

The black line on the top is meant to be the eyeliner and the pink on the bottom is the pink waterline. 

The polishes that I used were 'Pink Voltage', 'Liquid Leather', 'Fairy Dust' and 'Treble Maker' by China Glaze, 'Haute in the Heat' and 'Ruffles and Feathers' by Essie, 'Bright Purple' and 'Cobalt Blue' by Barry M.

To do the design I put a blob of polish on a peice of paper and used the sponge effect, with torn up bits of sponge and my tweezers.

Nail Swatch - China Glaze - Frostbite

China Glazes' Frostbite is by no means a recent addition to my growling collection but one of my favourite out of all of them. I recently went to an Indian wedding and this colour perfectly matched what I was wearing so I decided to do a quick swatch and review of it!

This polish is a beautiful bright blue that is just absolutely gorgeous! It applies very smoothly, however the first coat is very patchy and honestly would look dreadful without another coat. The above picture is shown with two thin coats of the polish topped with Seche Vite.

As China Glaze polishes go this one isn't the best formula wise, their most recent collections have been much better, but I feel like the colour of this overrides all of that.
As said above I recently wore this to a wedding and you will see from the pictures how beautiful the polish looked.

The rings in the above picture are from Primark and the bangles are from an indian store in Southall.

Blue Chevron

So whenever I paint my nails I normally plan out the design before hand or have a rough idea what I'm going to do, but not with this one! I just sat down with a bunch of polishes and I ended up with this! I knew I wanted to something blue and in the end I did chevron nails. 

The rings in the above picture are from Primark, I got a pack of 6 rings that were a mixture of midi and normal for £2.50. All of the rings are so cute and it was a total bargin.

To do this very easy design I first painted my nails two thin coats of Essie's - In the Cab-Ana. Then I dipped a Cheeky nail art brush into Essie's - Mezmerised, painted a triangle onto the tips of my nails and then filled them in. I dipped a dotting tool into some random silver glitter polish and placed one dot at the tip of the triangle. Finally, I topped the whole thing off with a coat of Seche Vite.

As you can see from the above pictures I ended up mattifying it by using Essie's - Matte about You, but I don't particularly like this design matte. I feel you can see my mistakes more and I dont feel like it compliments the chevron.
