Spring Flower Nails.

Using - Barry M - Lemon, Barry M - White, Urban Outfitters UO Basics in Purple, Color Club - Clear.

I started my nails with a base coat, once dry I added two coats of the yellow. Using a small nail art brush I added the petals to my flower design and then using the same brush (once I'd cleaned it) I applied white dots into the middle of my petals. I then finished with a top coat. 

Blue dots...

Using - Barry M -White, Cobalt Blue and Cyan Blue, W7 - Polar Bare

I started off painting my nails white, using a white shimmer polish, I went over the white to make it shimmer. I started off using a light blue to dot near the base of my nail. In the middle I used the darker blue and then using a black at the tip of the nails. I finished with a top coat. 

Beauty Things I Suck At.

5 Beauty related things I am awful at...

Plucking my eyebrows.
Now I wouldn't say I'm really bad at doing my eyebrows, I just hate doing it! It takes too long, it hurts like hell (I know your eyebrows are meant to go numb from the pain eventually when you've been plucking them so long, it's been four years! Why you no numb!), the only good light in the house to do it is the bathroom. They are sneaky, one day you'll think "Having a good eyebrow day" then you'll go into a room with good lighting and you look like you're growing a hairy caterpillar down your face. Not a good look. But it hurts!

Sticking to a skincare regimen.
I am absolute rubbish at this, in fact I'm awful at taking my makeup off at night in general. I nearly always forget, which I know is so bad for your skin. 

Filing my nails. 
My nails look so wonky all the time and I cannot file my nails to save my life. Really need a lesson in this. Three of my finger nails on each hand are squared and two on each hand are circled, what's the deal with that. They don't look too odd to other people, but I know!

Putting on sun cream.
I know this one only applies for the summer and I know we only have a little summer period in the UK but I am rubbish at remembering to put it on when I'm going out for the day in the sun. I always remember when sunbathing but if I'm going out then I never remember and I don't go brown to make matters worse, I'm pale so I burn. I burn so I look like a strawberry for a few days, then I peal so I do not look good what so ever.

Lipstick/Lip care.
Lipstick - Just no, does not work. Whenever I wear a colour which doesn't match my natural lip colour at all I just look like a clown. My lips just look huge.
Lip care - My lips get so dry and I always forget to put a lip balm on. I have a habit of biting my lips too much when they are dry instead of doing something about it. 

Orange and Blue Nails...

Using - Essie -Orange, It's Obvious,  No7 -Sing The Blues, Models Own Nail Art Pen

I painted all my nails orange, waited until dry then sectioned diagonally off with tape. I added the blue polish and removed the tape whilst nails were still wet for a clean line. Using the Models Own black art pen I draw on the lines and finished with a top coat.

Pretty Mermaid Nails...

Using - Color Club clear, Models Own - Indian Ocean and Essie - Bikini so teeny.

I first did a base coat of the Color Club clear polish. Once dry I put on two coats of the Essie colour and waited until dry. I then used a sponge to apply the models own polish to my nail but not touching the base of my nail. Once dry i again used the sponge to apply the models own polish to the tips of my nails. I then finished with a top coat. 

What A Little Pickle

Nail Polish Spring 2014 Wishlist.

All the new Spring nail polishes are out or soon to be coming out and they all look so good! Some of these polishes I want are old but most of them are new and are ready to be mine. I've been trying to save more money then usual (my usual savings consists of nothing so I'm doing pretty well) to spend on new nail products and to get some of the ones I have wanted for a while but haven't got round to buying. (due to my bad saving habits)

Some of the few products I'm craving for at the moment are; 

The Essie Spring 2014 Collection - All of them look so nice and pretty. Really want to get my hands on all of them, I think the colours Essie come up with are so great and I love their individual names. Depending on where you go, you can buy these polishes for around £8 each. 

Especially loving the Hide & Go Chic, Fashion Playground and Style Hunter.

Barry M Silk Collection - Now obviously this little lot would be on this list. They are so different, I haven't seen a product like this before and I'd love to try them out for myself. These polishes are around £4.

Firsts on my list would be the Blossom, Meadow and Pearl. 

China Glaze Off Shore Collection - Now I'm not sure if these are already out, but I know they are available to pre-order off Nail Polish Direct. There are the two different collections to buy or you can purchase the nail polishes separately of course. The two collections are Stoaked To Be Soaked and my favourite out the two Dune Our Thing. The collections are £29.99 each or the individual polishes are around the £5 mark - If you can find them cheap. 

My individual favourites are Wait N Sea, Shore Enuff, Dune Our Thing and If In Doubt, Surf It Out. 

Models Own HyperGel - Again another new set of polishes you thought you'd find on this list, right? These look great on swatches I have seen on other blogs and I want to get my hands on them and try them out for myself. Now I wouldn't get all of them because I think some of the shades look a little samey as other products but I would get a few. These come in at £5 each. 

The ones I would go out and buy are White Light, Coral Glaze, Lilac Sheen, Cornflower Gleam and Red Lustre. 

Models Own Artstix Nail Polish Duo - I have only recently found out about these and I love the idea, they look so simple to use and would be great little things to take away with you on trips or on holiday. There are twelve different duo's so there's quite a selection to choose from. 

My favourite duo's that I love are Blue Spray, Blibble, Jade Flakes, Snow Mix and Utopia Ocean. 

Models Own Ice Neon Collection - Now I have loved these for a while and I own none of them! So now is the time for them to become mine. £5 each. 

Favourites - Pukka Purple and Pink Punch. 

Would you recommend any other new nail products I've missed? 

What A Little Pickle

Red and white nails.

Using - Collection 2000 - Scandal, Barry M - White, Models Own nail art pen.

Firstly I painted my thumb, middle and ring finger white and the other two nails red, giving all nails two coats. When dry I sectioned off the top and bottom of the nail with tape. I painted the tip of the nail with the opposite colour. When dry, I used the Models Own black art pen to line the change of the colours and to the index finger I added a very straight bow. I then finished this look with a the Color Club top coat. 

A little messy due to the fact the polish wasn't completely dry before putting the tape on, but I'm still learning. :)
