Miss Sporty - Fiery Blaze

Hello! Today I am going to show you one of the new Metal Flip nail polishes from Miss Sporty! Despite having a few polishes from this brand, Miss Sporty is not usually a brand a look at but I this polished when I walked past the stand and had to have it! I will definitely be checking out their future releases!

Fiery Blaze is a gorgeous duochrome which switches between green, purple and gold. In the picture I am wearing one coat over a red from Astor (the red had awful tip wear and I had to be at a party in an hour so no time for a full manicure) although it could easily be worn alone. 

 

 

Application was brilliant for such a cheap polish. The brush is lovely, it has a nice curved end and formula was great too!

 

 

There are two other polishes in the Metal Flip collection, a pinky blue and a yellowy orange. I also have the blue which I will review at a later date but the yellow/orange didn’t really appeal to me. 

 

 

These polishes are £1.99 each (what a bargain!) and currently on 3 for 2 in Superdrug and buy one get one half price in Boots! Thank you for reading!

Scalloped Nails/Ruffle Nails Experiment!

I have seen the Scalloped or Ruffle nail trend everywhere recently and I really wanted to try it out for myself. I didn’t sit down with a plan, and you can tell but this was just an experiment to see what I could do with it. This is the result!

I had some slight issues with polish from the end circles flooding into the cuticle which you can see as well keeping the circles the same size but practice makes perfect! I will definitely try again. Additionally my NYC topcoat bubbled a LOT so please excuse that! I will use a different top coat until I get chance to repurchase.

 

 

I think I perfect the ruffles at an angle like on the pinkie but the middle finger is nice too. On the ring finger I think the gap between the first colour and second colour is too big and the index finger… let’s not talk about that one! It is a total fail. I think I meant to add orange as the third colour again but clearly I forgot…

 

 

I used lots of polishes, so I will quickly list. If you want to know which colour is which specifically, please ask. Barry M – Indigo, Blueberry Ice Cream, Berry Ice Cream, Pure Turquoise; Orly – Oui; OPI – Who The Shrek Are You?; China Glaze – Papaya Punch; NYC – Uptown, Greenwich Village, Price Street; Color Club – White; Revlon – Ocean Breeze, No 7 – Purple Fantasy, Lilac Chill; Miss Sporty – Teal (?) and Pop Fiction.

 

 

Finally, do you prefer plain backgrounds to photos like this or the coloured or patterned paper that I used in pervious posts? Thank you for your feedback, reading and to anyone who voted for me to win Makeup Savvy’s Nail Challenge!

15 Day Nail Challenge – Day 14 Dots

Today’s nails are inspired by Aboriginal artwork. I wanted to create something a bit different from typical girly polka dot nails and this is what I came up with! I looked up various different artworks then took inspiration from each so it isn’t based on one particular artwork, more a combination of several mixed with my imagination.

 

The base colour is Rimmel – Hard Edged which I picked up in Poundland. I like the way that the shimmer contrasts with the creme finish of the dots. Polishes used for the dots were my trusty Color Club – White, Essence – A Lovely Secret, Essence – Trust In Fashion, OPI – Fiercely Fiona, OPI – Bullish On OPI, Miss Sporty – Pop Fiction and 17 – Orange Soda.

 

 

Some of the dots did smudge a little with when I applied topcoat which is a shame but not as noticeable in real life as it is in the pictures. 

 

 

Please come back tomorrow to see the final day of the challenge! Thank you for reading!
