Party Kitty Nails!

Hello and Happy Birthday to anyone who has their birthday today! Happy un-birthday to those that don't! This nail art was created for the birthday of Katie's Dazzling Digits on Instagram. She is one of the organisers of the Nail Addicts Collab which I take part in each month. This is the first birthday collab I've been involved in and I love that it's got a cat theme! I have a few cat themed stamping plates and I haven't used these awesome balloon and ice cream images yet which are perfect for a party theme!

I started with a super shiny metallic base (colours listed below images) and then stamped the 'I love cats' image onto my middle finger from the Mo You London Animal Collection 15 stamping plate. I used images from the same plate for all other thumb and fingernails except my little finger. The image on my little finger is from the MYL Crazy Cat Lady 02 plate. All coloured in images were done using the advanced stamping technique on my Uber Mat, you can see how here.

In conclusion I really like these! The base colour starts it off really nicely and I like the combination and quirkiness of the cat themed images. Definite birthday party vibes!

Colours used: Fake Date - Holo Taco, Black Stamping Polish - Dance Legend, White Horse Street - Nails Inc, Basil Street - Nails Inc, Cappuccino - Barry M, Wardour Street - Nails Inc

Very Frosty Frosted Metals

Hey everyone! Back with some Holo Taco polishes to share with you today. I was lucky enough to be given the Holo Taco Frosted Metals collection for Christmas by my partner, and had great fun taking pictures of all their shinyness and of course trying them out on my nails! I decided to start with a skittle mani look so I could try them all at once and was impressed with just how sparkly they are. It's hard to photograph the effect properly but I don't have many metallics quite like them. I thought Fake Date (the pink one) in particular was super sparkly!

After I'd painted two coats of each polish on my nails, I used Mo You London's Festive 02 stamping plate and some white stamping polish to add a selection of snowflakes to my nails. They images come out lovely and clear and crisp, I'm really pleased with them. I finished with a glossy top coat and then had fun taking pictures! Unfortunately most of my pictures were quite blurry in the end, these ones were the best of the lot!
