A Pair of Snowflake Manicures!

Hello!

Now that it's December I've started to go a little festive with my manicures, and today I have two blue snowflake looks to show you - Winter Butterfly and Shimmering Sweater.

For my butterfly mani I layered some stamping to get a snowflake-patterned wing effect. I started with a base colour of Blueberry Muffin by Models Own, then stamped on some snowflakes from one of my Bundle Monster plates. On top went the lovely butterfly wings from Nailz Craze plate NC01. As well as finishing with top coat I painted a layer of it between the two stamping designs, so they wouldn't muddle together.


Next I did a very shiny Christmas pattern mani! My mam chose the colour for this one; the result is nice and festive. I started with Blue Odyssey by Max Factor then stamped on the snowflake sweater pattern from my other Nailz Craze plate, NC03, using Holographic Hero by Gosh.

Madam Glam ~ Beyond Gorgeous

This post contains products which were sent to me for review :-)

Hello!

Lately I've been reviewing nail polishes from Madam Glam, a 5-free, cruelty-free and vegan make-up brand with a range of gorgeous nail polishes including standout colours and unique, indie-style glitters. I was sent a mix of both - today I am showing you a sparkling glitter called Beyond Gorgeous, and here are the polishes I've reviewed already:



I also have a very generous 40% off coupon code for my readers to use, very handy if you're doing your Christmas shopping or wishlist to Santa! It's BFGeordienails.

Today's nail polish is called Beyond Gorgeous. It's a light green holo sparkle glitter, fresh and sparkling and glitzy. You can wear it alone in 2-3 coats, use it as a rich topper glitter or do what I did and sponge it onto your nail tips for a glitter gradient! I found it was perfect for that thanks to its tinted colour and flash of holo.

This first photo is of my glitter tips...


...and here is Beyond Gorgeous swatched! My index and middle fingernails have two coats of Beyond Gorgeous alone, and my ring and pinky nails have one coat over the vampy purple Text Me Later:


I specifically asked if I could receive this polish in my review pack and I wasn't disappointed. It's a gorgeous glitter that applied well and sparkled brilliantly ^_^

I hope you like these Madam Glam polishes as much as I do! I genuinely love the formulas, colours and sparkles of my review pack and it was nothing but a pleasure to try them.

Madam Glam ~ Cinderella Shoes

This post contains products which were sent to me for review :-)

Hello!

Holo Sparkle Alert! Cinderella Shoes was sent to me for review by the lovely Madam Glam, along with a hefty 40% discount code for my readers to use - BFGeordienails. Is anyone still adding to their Christmas wishlist? I'm still spotting bits and pieces online even though we're already in December!

Cinderella Shoes is nothing less than a showstopper. It's a pink holo sparkle polish and the bottle is absolutely packed with glitter. In two coats my nails were like ten glitterballs and it took my breath away! Despite the glitter density it applied nice and smoothly. I used two coats of top coat because I like my glitters to be super-glossy, but I could have gotten away with one.

Here it is - two coats, no colour underneath - along with a flash photo to try and show you just how sparkly this polish is:



I might even wear this on Christmas Day... it's just so festive and sparkly!

I have one more Madam Glam glitter to show you, stay tuned!

Madam Glam ~ Endless Passion

Hello!

This post is about Endless Passion by Madam Glam, the second polish in my review pack! It was sent to me along with a huge 40% discount code for my readers - it's BFGeordienails. I've already reviewed the vampy purple Text Me Later, and then I unfortunately had a bad spell with my health so couldn't blog for a while. I'm sorry for the delay, but lovely polish pics are upcoming!

Endless Passion is a strong, vampy, blood-red creme. Application was smooth and solid, going on in two coats, and I found the shade perfect for the darker months. First I swatched the polish on its own and then I stamped on a plaid pattern in gold for a Winter tartan manicure!



Coming up I have two sparkling holo glitter polishes to show you! Stay tuned!

Hugs,

Lisa xx
