Glitter Me Up Friday

Hello :)

This is the first Glitter Me Up Friday post, so I decided to keep it simple. I just did a Leana Cosmetics glitter as the base coat, it has no name. And I used Kiss Nail Art Polish for the lines. I couldn't help myself doing a design. I dont really have much to say about this mani, so just look below for photos. I did pink glitter ombre nails on Monday, but I didn't take any photos and I used all the glitter so I couldn't do them again.

Most of my nails broke *tear tear*

It was a pretty simple mani, in the end I couldn't even come up with an idea.

P.S. Girls, you can do designs on your nails with glitter too. I forgot to mention that :)

Water Marbling

Hii! :)

Today I tried water marbling. Oh what a disaster. I didn't take any pictures, because it was so terrible.. It was my first time and with the help of my sister, it was decent, but stupidly thinking I could do better I cleaned my nails without taking photos. Ever since then I haven't been able to do them that well again.

I personally don't like this technique, its time consuming and messy. I used vaseline so I could easily clear the excess polish, but it was still really annoying to clean the dotting tools I used to make the design. I tried all the brands I own and Ulta 3 and OPI seem to work the best. NYC is ok too. I think I would rather do dry marbling, it's less messy and I like what I've seen. I also think it will be less time consuming.

I spent roughly 3 hours with all of my 3 attempts, about an hour each.

What was your experience with water marbling? Was it a good one? Send me your pics and comments! :)

Leana Cosmetics

Helloo!!

Recently I've been on the search for new colors brands ect. to get out there. I found a really cute little brand at my local "Prices Plus" Store that usually only stocks BYS that I've completely bought out. I asked my mum to get me some paddle pop sticks from there 2 days ago, and she quickly phoned me to tell me there was a new stand of nail polish. I went in and found this colorful array of a new brand called Leana Cosmetics. I bought 16 and 4 new storage containers for only $50!! What a bargain!!! Have a look below for photos...

^^ All 16 polishes ^^

^^ The worst brush, not that bad really, easy enough to use and the color looks great! ^^

^^ The fabulous crackle colors I picked up ^^

I really like the crackle, and the glitter is all really fabulous, I made a really vintage type of mani the other day, it just the glitter polish. It looks really nice and I was really happy with it.

I also did a quick google search on this polish and I couldnt find it anywhere, so I just assume its new or no-one has checked it out yet.

Have you ever seen Leana Cosmetics? Send me a comment with your thoughts.
