China Glaze Secret Peri-wink-le with flowers

Another one of the China Glaze polishes that I bought from Head2ToeBeauty was Secret Peri-wink-le. It’s a lovely creamy blue-purple (or periwinkle!)

After painting my nails with it I decided to get out my new dotting tools that I ordered and have a go with them. I wanted to attempt to make some flowers like Sammy of The Nailasaurus.

Here’s a link to her post, and here’s a link to her video tutorial!

After my base colour had dried I started my flowers. I used Barry M Cobalt Blue for the flowers, and Me Me Me Platinum for the flowers centres.

Secret Peri-wink-le is a lovely colour and it applied beautifully. It was opaque in two coats.

I did however find it quite hard to photoraph and it’s dustier and slightly more lilac toned in real life.

I really liked this mani and it was quite easy to do really, Sammys video tutorial helped a lot.

Hope you like this, and thanks for reading!

China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy

I recently placed an order from Head2ToeBeauty. I bought 6 new China Glaze polishes, and this was one of them.

Flip Flop Fantasy is a neon Coral – Pink. I tried really hard to photograph this colour accurately, but ultimately I failed. These photos are colour adjusted but it still isn’t completely accurate to its real colour. In real life it’s slightly pinker and MUCH brighter.

I also ordered some stuff from Born Pretty and in the order I received a pack of Fimo canes. I immediately wanted to play with them so I chose a tiny pink and white Hibiscus flower.

The formula on this is a bit odd (for me anyway as it’s my first neon!) It dries matte and does go on a bit streaky but it leveled out after three coats and a topcoat made it shiny.

I LOVE this colour and can’t wait to get it on my toes in summer. Overall I’m really happy with my first China Glaze purchase and I can’t wait to share the rest of the colours I bought!

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed it!
